Yeah but Quest 1 and 2 are the original ones not the 'remastered' version that came out a few years later.

You didn't like BnW or Fable? Both were excellent games (hell Fable 2 is the bst in the series)?

He's stepped out of the a-typical developer box many times, and people just bash him for it. Yeah he does over promote on what he can deliver, but when was the last time a big name developer could do that? If you want anything different these days you have to go with indies. Plus he's giving you guys EXACTLY what you asked for, a Populus remake.

I get that quite a few of us on here are older gamers, but fer christ sake the bitterness that is going with it is getting tired and worn out.


Kinda to the point I hope mankind gets sent back to the stone-age in a few days, least it'll be alot more interesting.

It really depends on the "retirement center" I think. I wish my grandmother would spend her money living comfortably and socializing among her peers in independent/assisted living instead of spending her time alone at home watching TV.

She thinks she's saving the money so she can give it to us but we would rather she not be lonely and be safe. Yes we do visit but not often enough to constitute a social life. So back to my first sentence... I wouldn't want her in a poor "nursing home", bed-ridden in the dark with poor service but an independent/assisted living apartment with dining hall etc would be great.

This is how my mom lives. 70, smoker, on oxygen, ocpd and a few other medical issues, uses a wheel walker, lives in an apt with 2 cats and a dog that she can't properly take care of. While my grandmother lived in a senior apt complex in California that had things going on all the time, very social environment, etc. If my mom survives another 5 years it'll be a miracle, but I'd rather have her in some sort of nursing home/community then living alone unable to properly live.

I love how the managing director tries to spin firing someone two weeks before Christmas as a beneficial thing FOR THE EMPLOYEE.

I'd have punched the asshole in the TEEF! if he'd said that to me.

Creston

Actually I'd have to agree with them. It'd be shittier going out blowing out all kinds of money over the holidays only to come back and then find out you don't have a job. It's like pulling off a band-aid, just get it over with. Why do these guys have so many people in the first place?

But at least you'd have been PAID for those two weeks over the holidays. Now you have zero money, and thus no options whatsoever. If someone is dumb enough to blow more money than his paycheck is worth over the holidays, he deserves all the misery that entails.

Creston

Creston as someone who was recently let go in Nov. I'm glad I was let go before the holidays as I would have spent money that I thought I had coming in for the holidays. It's not a matter of blowing money, it's a matter of suddenly not having a steady source of income that was expected.

Well I get the free speech part, but how can anyone claim to be 'God loving people' and just spew out so much hatred and ignorance?
If I died tomorrow, what are the chances that WBC would show up at my funeral (and not in a good way)?

Anon going after hate mongering idiots using religion as a weapon? Have at em!

I have a Nexus 7, and I typically use it on the couch when either looking up game info (maps, tips, etc), or want quick access to email, bank access, or want to look something up. Example I was watching Storage Wars and wanted to know the background on the Collector guy.

It's not just The Old Republic, it's Champions Online, Star Trek Online are just as bad, except The Old Republic screws you with the UI as well.

Problem is if that was my black lab, all of those bottles would have ended up in bed, or circling the computer desk because they would have been constantly thrown at me.

Unreal engine 4 is coming out, that won't be better?

It all depends on the next gen of console hardware, and how much time is dedicated to porting it to the PC. Visually both Batman games are STILL amazing graphically.

I agree Academy was the weaker of the two, but had more saber options/combat.

LOL Rigs I almost went back and edited that back in

If you could take Academy's Saber Combat, with Battlefront 2 I'd be a happy camper. Every once in a blue moon I load up Outcast and get the survival mod where it's just you and waves of Saber wielding Remnants and see how far I can go. Chivalry and War and Band just aren't getting me my saber combat fix that I require.

I don't mind religion when it gives hope/comfort to other people, but there are so many George Carlin comments I could throw in here, I'd probably break the website.

And I never understood the draw of giving subsequent games in a franchise stupid and non-sequential names.

I don't care if they're "reboots" - it really isn't that hard to accept that Doom 3 was a re-imagining of Doom 1.

You mean like Star Wars: Dark Forces 4 Jedi Knight 3 Jedi Academy?

How about this...

Uncle Ben dies over Chocolate Milk? Spider Man stole his webbing from OzCorp. The over the top Flash/Peter Basketball scene (almost as bad as the dancing scene from 3), the lackluster Uncle Ben conversations (phone call at the end), Spider Sense not 'tingling' after the parade of lizards in the sewers when Lizard first attacks Spidey, the whole crane thing REALLY was crappy, but saving the kid and giving him the mask was spot on.

Was it good? It was ok, but for the most part Spider Man 3 was better then Amazing Spider Man.
