Online passes come with new copies of the game, so what it really is an anti piracy and anti-secondary game market device and it works fairly well, because if its not a new copy, the publisher or developer isn't getting any money. And the multiplayer is probably keeping cash flow in, so financially its hard to look at it and go, 'We shouldn't do this.'
After the Extended cut, they lowered the Resources needed to see the available endings so needing multiplayer is something of a moot point anyway. -
Well, the original Neverwinter Nights is a long and boring series of fetch quests interspersed by the occasional good quest. I liked Shadows of Undrentide and Hordes, but I assumed the cutoff point was leaving the isometric viewpoint.
Baldur's Gate had a UI that irritated me, a ruleset that grated my nerves, and if there was a good story in there, it wasn't in the first hour before the things I didn't like made me turn it off. Then again I might be confusing that for BG2 because I hated that stupid dungeon I started in so much. -
Well, I might be the only person on the internet who liked Dragon Age 2, and I while I was annoyed by the ending of ME3, aside from a long period of disappointment, I mostly got over it.
I still enjoy the games Bioware makes. Actually, I don't really care for their earlier work anyway. Maybe I'm a shallow new age gamer who can't appreciate how good the old days were. But whatever. I can live with that as long as they still keep making things I like playing. -
I know what she meant. I read the title. And its something of an internet mischaracterization. The writer and artist could have handled it better I assure you, but vapid sex puppet is not accurate.
-
I would not say that she is. Its her story arc in Red Hood and the Outlaws right now, so there's spaceships and Tamaranians and Blackfire. Its been pretty interesting so far.

Quote:Which game was this, if I may ask?We have only one datapoint anywhere in the world that directly and unequivocally addresses the question of what happens when you eliminate class distinctions from an MMO but for the most part keep most of the other major structural design decisions similar, and that datapoint confirms bad things happen. Everything else is theoretical, but whether it *can* have extremely deleterious effects on the game is not theory. Its history.

Good riddance. He ruined Hawk and Dove before it even got started, and well...the rest is his usual stuff. Still, watching the creative teams shift around as they do its no surprise to realize editorial is a clusterfornication over there. I like most of the books, but I don't have to see the back end either.
I might be the only person here who likes the New 52, so I'll just see what they get to replace Liefeld. -
All Four: @Ceus A lvl 50 Something/Something Something. Assemble the team.

I like the New 52. Its the majority of my books every month. I've dropped some (Catwoman, Batwoman is on the edge), picked up some others, but overall I enjoy them as much as I enjoyed the books before. My favorites are Action Comics, Red Hood, and Supergirl. Teen Titans is usually fun. The Green Lantern Titles were sluggish for the past year, but its picking back up, and that's good. Justice league is okay--its no Avengers. Justice League International is alright--gotta get my Booster Gold fix somewhere. Batgirl is decent.
Though Red Robin was a sweet title. -

I do enjoy the movies Peter Jackson makes. Unfortunately, there is one glaring issue I have with him as a filmmaker. Pacing. My friends and I call it Peter's Pacing Problem. He likes to drag it out. It doesn't surprise me that he wants a third movie.
So, yes. It's not a terribad decision, but I suspect I will enjoy the movie regardless, but there will be moments on subsequent viewings where I start checking my watch. -

I've actually been enjoying the Superman 'family' of books. Supergirl, Superboy, Action and Superman. I'd never really gotten into Supes as a character and there's been some good issues so far.
Batgirl is okay, but that's the only Bat book I read.
Redhood and Teen Titans are both good reads, at least for my tastes.
New Guardians is actually my favorite Lantern book now, Green Lantern has been kind of meh, and Red Lanterns has a pacing issue.
Justice League is pretty good, but that first story arc almost killed it. Its picking up now.
I'm a fan of Booster Gold, so JLI is my kind of schtick.
Blue Beetle is retreading all the old ground his original series did, only badly.
I think the only other one I was getting was Hawk and Dove, which crashed hard when they started letting Leifeld push the writer off the book. That's no longer an issue, because the book got canned.
They just added a Power Girl and Huntress book which could be fun. I'm hopeful at least. -
Infernal, Black Swan, and Cole are the only ones left I think, if we're going to count Apex and Tin Mage as a suitable encounter of Neuron, Bobcat, and Battle Maiden.
-
I'll probably see it, but that trailer did nothing for me. I'm a little tired of Nolan's Batman now.
-
I really enjoyed the X-23 mini series and the monthly. Its a pity to see it go.
-
I am far too dignified to giggle. I chortle.
-
I haven't been impressed with the new Batgirl myself. I was loving Brian Q. Miller's Stephenie Brown Batgirl, but Silver Age status quo is god at DC right now, so, yeah.
That said, I had high hopes for the book, as it was being written by Gail Simone, who has been writing Barbara Gordon for quite a few years now in various books. I'm fairly sure Taking her out of the chair was an editorial mandate, but I'm going to finish out the first story arc at least before I condemn it from my pull list. -
Because the Bat books and Green Lantern were doing rather well for themselves, they weren't affected too much by the relaunch, you have to see the other titles to see the big differences. Most of my titles were hit, and for the most part I've enjoyed most, despaired others. Superman was hit pretty hard in that DC retconned Lois and Clark's marriage out of existence.

Actually, those damn Attacks of Opportunity keep me from randomly chasing after too many things.

I DM a 3.5 game, and I hate every second of it. But that's the system the group wants to use. I would rather DM or play 4th any day of the week. Fortunately, one of the players who hates playing 4th likes DMing it because its much easier, so I have hope to work something out where I can have fun too.
That said, I'll have to see the ruleset and flavor before I decide whether or not 5th ed is any good. -

Emerald Warriors had a good issue, Guy Gardner and Batman team up to solve a murder on a space station. I don't know if one shots can get any cooler than that.
And for some reason, I got Action Comics 904 which had the end of some Doomsday story in it, but it was a pretty good Superman story, in my opinion, considering I don't read Superman that often. -
There's an issue of Star Wars Tales, 19, which has a short named "Into the Great Unknown" that has Han Solo and Chewie crash the Millennium Falcon on a forest world and Han dies from a wound by the natives. 100 years or so later, Indiana Jones and Short Round happen upon the Falcon while looking for Sasquatch.
Completely non canon I suppose, but it amuses me.
