whomod said: I generally don't like it when people decide to play by the rules against people who don't play by the rules. It tends to put you immediately at a disadvantage and IMO is a sign of true weakness. This is true both in politics and on the internet."
Just finished the single player mode on Bad company 2, and it left me a bit disappointed considering how much I loved the first one. It seems that they have taken an tip from the makers of Modern Warfare and spent all their time concentrating on the online aspect, and given us a single player game that is way too short, with the levels being nowhere near as expansive as the first game, with a lot more of a linear route from A to B. Also, even on the hardest difficulty level, its pretty damn easy.
Factor in that the humour is not as evident and that there is no explanation of why they dont have the gold they 'stole' in the first game, and the teaser of The Legionnaire surviving isnt followed up on, and it leaves you somewhat underwhelmed.
All that said though, but it is still a fun game, and the online is great. I just wish they had kept the meat on the bones that was in the first game.
It's easier to get a grip of Demigod compared to DoTA, and the slower gameplay gives you a chance to appreciate how beautiful the graphics look compared to the outdated Warcraft III engine. Could have used more maps and characters, though.
Gorgeous graphics, and fairly low system requirements. It's from Square-Enix so I assume the story is top notch. Unfortunately, it's extremely unoptimized. The game runs fullspeed on my rig even at the highest quality settings, but the loading times are horrible, even though I am on win7 64 bit, with 4gb of dual channel DDR2-800 ram.
It's not an exaggeration that I have to wait at least 3 minutes to load a goddamn in-game cutscene. I uninstalled it after an hour of playing.
An addictive and semi-challenging Action RPG (you don't need to grind, you'll level up normally while doing the quests, but you have the option of grinding early on and hunting the stronger enemies that you will face later in the game). Almost all of the quests/puzzles are fairly easy to solve even though they're not linear (e.g. you'll take quest A B and C at the same time but you'll only get the solution for quest A once you finish quest C).
Also, the script is hilarious. It pokes fun at other RPGs. It's got the same brand of humor as Secret of Monkey Island and Psychonauts.
Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. The GC version. My PC can't emulate the Wii version at fullspeed.
...I just found out that all the Links in the games are not necessarily the same person. Kind of like James Bond.
Most are supposed to be prequels. The SNES one is a prequel of the two NES ones, and the N64 one was supposed to be a prequel of those three. Then the first Gamecube one was clearly set a long time in the future with another Link, and it's probably something similar with the second GC/first Wii one.
I used to not like Zelda after being burned by Majora's Mask. But now I'm totally liking this gay elf dude. I just downloaded Wind Waker while I'm currently cooling down from getting stuck on the Goron mines. Only Zeldas I've finished so far is Ocarina and Link to the past.
games that have "champion" and "commander" in their titles is bad news if you have a sarcastic wife. Like, "Can the Supreme Commander throw out the trash already?" or if you're already out of breath while jogging with her, she's all "way to go, sports champion".
