    Psst, look who you're quoting.

    We got a decent game out of it though.
  3. I'd love for an arm length slider, so many of my characters border on ridiculousness due to how short their arms are.
  4. SS/ELA Brute colored green as a stand in for Rad Melee and Rad Armor.

    Mind/NRG Dominator colored goldish white to stand in for Light Control and Light Assault.

    I'd be happy with the Ghouls' run animation.

    His designs aren't bad on paper, it's just when they get animated and/or poorly imitated.
  7. The designs look a hell of a lot better than the Bruce Timm-esque crap that's been popular for a while now.

    Bah, there will never be enough tech pieces until we get a good box/cube shaped tech costume set like this.
  9. Damn it to hell, I liked that old, new animation. Is there some reason the devs outright replaced it instead of adding it as a new option?
  10. Assuming you got the 460 for under $200 (which is incredibly likely) it's a good deal.

    The Longbow suck so I don't care about them, but the PPD could be an interesting EAT.

    Things not possible to replicate with existing ATs:
    The aesthetic (especially the Powered Armor Division)
    A branching AT that's not a part of Arachnos
    Mixing Kheldian powers with VEAT style PPD powers

    I envision the PPD AT as a base AT with three possible paths. Quite similar to the VEATs, but with a distinct PPD flavor and aesthetic. There would need to be some fleshing out as far a powers go, but the VEATs needed the same so it's not a problem.

    Yeah, no.
  13. Not liking that bike or the uniform. As ****** as the first movie was, they got the look of the uniform and bike much closer to the comic design.

    Nuts to that, I want a focused, constant beam laser gun (e.g. the laser gun from Akira) that does half energy and half fire damage.
  15. Try reducing the Ambient Resolution for Ambient Occlusion down to High Performance. That option any higher kills performance for absolutely no image improvement.

    The anisotropic filtering is fine, the 32x AA is the killer.

    Adaptions & You

    Some things are so entrenched in the medium used that you can't adapt it without turning it into something completely different.

    Yes, because the only concepts possible with Shields are medieval knights.

    Jet Packs FTW!

    Trench coats look stupid regardless of body or type. If only the Baron jacket had a trench coat texture.

    Legal or not, it's certainly not immoral or worthy of any punishment, IMO.

    The latter is a good thing though.

    Damn straight.

    Epic ATs

    Assault/Armor regular AT or a PPD EAT. Want both.
  24. I'd certainly like the shield powers in the Mastermind sets to have longer durations or turned into PBAoEs.
