Condolences on your loss, Blue. I've enjoyed reading your posts about the Gunnar-man over the years. It's a hard thing to lose a companion like that. Best wishes to you and your family.

Yes, it does.
Man, I really wanted to love this game. But it just didn't have the fun factor from the Battlefield games (for me, anyway). Here's hoping they right the ship with the sequel.
I mean, that's why it's a BattleFRONT, not a BattleFIELD, right?
Up front, I've never played a Battlefront, and I've never enjoyed a Battlefield (doing solely 1942, then beta testing another, I think Battlefield 2.)
That said, I agree. From everything I've read, this could have been more complex. It seems like LucasArts and EA were pushing for as many users as possible, but the overlap between gamers and Star Wars fans lies deep, and they could have made a game that appealed to slightly fewer people but to those people much more, as making it less complex didn't really increase the audience range.
Still, though, it says BattleFront. People should have known what they were getting.
But that's the thing, this was DICE, not LucasArts. So some of us were hopeful it would borrow some of the style and complexity from the Battlefield games (same engine, even). Oh well.

I feel the same about DoW2. I played through that game (and expansions) probably 5 or 6 times. Different from DoW1, but still damn fun.
Still looking forward to playing DoW3 tonight. Trying to keep an open mind...

Um... hasn't Decent ALWAYS been Underground?
Descent 3 had outdoor environments (and then there was FreeSpace, as mentioned). But for the most part, yeah, it was underground.
I loved the Descent games. Years ago I played with a group of buddies at work. You could always tell who was playing Descent just by watching people's heads rotate as they tried to track their ship movement in the game.
Good times...

$45 is a significant reduction over the ridiculous $99 price tag for the alpha/early-access.
Jar-Jar, we still hate you
I'll second that.
halle-frickin-lujah!
I'm not much into consoles, but this game had been tempting me to invest in a 360. Glad to hear its coming out sooner rather than later.

I think it was just an issue of them quietly releasing the patch first via GPGNet. And so the news blurb is just making people aware that it's now available as a separate download.
what's with that "news" report? get that greasy bastard some makeup before you put him on air! and that female reporter... i can almost hear her thinking "act interested, act interested"
My thoughts exactly.

...a return to the near-present setting of BF2...
I was hoping they'd go more futuristic with the next one.
Picked up the game last night and tried the first couple of missions in the single player campaign. The level of carnage and overall action in the game is amazing. It definitely feels like you're fighting a full fledged war and not just isolated skirmishes.
Following months of rumors, LucasArts confirms its first game featuring Wii Remote-enabled lightsaber combat.
Well it's about freaking time!
I say bring 'em on. I'll buy 'em all
I'll second that!
I'm tapping my foot in the stall and reaching under the divider...
lol!
I say we do the same thing that we did to tweakboy
Knock out his teeth and turn him into a hooker?
I'll second that.
wasn't act of war influenced by C&C?
Yes, both in terms of gameplay and the cutscenes.
I've been very interested in playing, but I'm not a fan of episodic gaming. I've been waiting for them to release the whole package. And yeah, I'm one of those who prefers to have the boxed copy.
