Luckmann

Opinions wildly differ, but I personally want to call it one of the greatest games in recent memory, with an actual, functional blend of RPG and Action, with an excellent story. I'd hesitate to call it an action RPG, since I think that it adequately fullfills my own demands of an RPG, even with it's heavy action elements. Compare that to other, "classical" "action rpgs" that very rarely have any RPG elements whatsoever (Diablo 2, etc).

[quote who="Tamren" reply="25" id="1991893"]I hope that we will be able to mod the weapons to be a bit more realistic. A cutlass and a machete are both swords but one works more like an axe and the other one cuts like a chefs knife. The difference between them would not be huge but would be very important when you get down to the 1 vs 1 combat scale. [...] [/quote] There's nothing to say that all swords are swords. There could very well be different kinds of s

Bam, I totally forgot about this. I was going to start a thread just yesterday, but in all the commotion around here, I guess it just slipped my mind. Merry Christmas and a Good Yule to all! [e digicons]\o/[/e]

I wouldn't say that I dislike it. Just that it seems.. "off" compared to the other crystals (phalli or not!). All the medallions are varieties of "Rock on!" . [e digicons]:moo:[/e]

[quote quoting="post"] For example, if I wanted an all-female army , where the infantry wore hakamas and kimonos, would that be possible in Elemental's engine?[/quote]I'm not sure how modular it'll be "built in" from scratch, but from what I understand, there's nothing inherent in the engine that would prevent you from modding that into the game.

[quote who="Craig Fraser" reply="12" id="1984787"]Honesty shouldn't be forced, it should come naturally from those that want to protect the community they are a part of.[/quote]In my opinion, the very concept of honesty can't be forced at all. It's either there or it's not. Keeping a thief out of your home doesn't mean that the thief is honest - it just means that he can't practice his dishonesty; He's still a dishonest person. We need a society where honest people can teach honesty t

[quote who="IQofSpam" reply="2" id="1984502"]Alright Luckmann - you're right. We shouldn't have to argue a point, it should be obvious to everyone who looks at the evidence which view is correct. Unfortunately, this assumes that people actually want to know or tell others the truth, and that people are capable of reaching identical conclusions with the same evidence. So... yes, we shouldn't have to argue about this. However, as people are not perfect, we do have t

If locks in real life were like DRM, all you'd have were a bunch of people that couldn't get into their houses, while cloaked burglars snuck into their homes and.. I dunno.. photographed everything.

[quote]Actually, Luckmann, I think you're the one misunderstanding me.

[quote who="WIllythemailboy" reply="4" id="1983997"]Did you miss the part of the article where various game developers state that delaying piracy by even a few days is worthwhile? Or how about the benefit of suppressing the secondary market, which from the developer's perspective is effectively the same as piracy? The developer gets just as much from a used game sale as they do from a pirated copy (that is, nothing), so knocking back the used market is a valid purpose of DRM on its own.[/quot

[quote quoting="post"] [...] 4) The aliens. While it's nice and sometimes very important to have a familiar frame of reference when exploring a new world, it's unfortunate that so much science fiction in all media has a tendency to imagine aliens in ways that are, well, unimaginative. Most of the races you encounter in Mass Effect will look suspiciously like either humans or animals that are found on Earth. All of them, except for one really big creature, a
