Here's my opinion: Play Gothic I, II +addon first. They're better and require less hardware. Gothic III is certainly a good RPG. But it did not continue the style of its prequels, which are awesome. There's a heavy lack of atmosphere when compared...  [Read More]

I agree. In fact the Dark Side on TSL is so good, I can't usually play it, because I feel guilty afterwards, while on KOTOR, I didn't really care. For me it's the other way around. In TSL I'm just a bad guy who kills innocent people. In Kotor howe...  [Read More]

Oblivion is not that bad, Gothic III has far superior graphics though. I guess Stalker is one of the best looking games atm. But I'm sure, once Crysis is released, it will set new standarts in graphics. In DirectX 10 of course....  [Read More]

I would LOVE to play Mass effect, but getting an Xbox 360.. nah. Fallout? I'm not sure if I know that game, but isn't that in a real time setting? With normal guns and soldiers? I don't like that kind of scenario, it's either fantasy or science fict...  [Read More]

Thanks guys! I think I'll try out Planescape torment. And System Shock. What's the gameplay like in NWN2? I didn't like the first one, I regret buying it to be honest. It was just not worth it....  [Read More]

I think Samuel Dravis is right. Killing someone will just serve your sense of revenge. What is the difference for society if a criminal is locked up forever? Besides, being locked up for your life, spending 23 hours a day alone is a terrible enough...  [Read More]
To those of you who played through the game already: which ending did you choose? Answer with spoiler... Btw how can I put something into spoiler? :) The list of vb codes is here. (http://www.lucasforums.com/misc.php?do=bbcode) It explains how to d...  [Read More]
It's a pretty good game. Bought it the instant it was released. There was a bug though, a critical one where I had to use console commands just to continue playing. That's annoying, didn't the guys even check if you can play through the game? Anyway...  [Read More]

Well I would have accomplished something if I didn't cheat. With cheating, I accompished slightly more. Big deal. Besides tests don't say anything about your actual knowledge. Most students forget the stuff right after the test. And moral reasons...I...  [Read More]

I still don't understand why I shouldn't cheat. Right now I'm in my final year of high school, and I have copied homework and cheated at tests through my entire time at the school. I did not depend on cheating though, but if that additional informati...  [Read More]

Yeah, but it was a simultaneous release with the Xbox version. Their deal with Sony said that the PS2 got it competition-free for 6 months. Considering all the heat they got for hot coffee (pun intended), I doubt that we'll be seeing a PC version. :(...  [Read More]

They get more hitpoints (10 per level If I'm not mistaken), but less force points. In Kotor I, they had a significant bonus in lightsaber hit rate (and damage I think), which made the sentinel a kinda crappy class, but I think in Kotor II that's not...  [Read More]

Now after installing XP 3 times to get it to work, downloading a few 100MB to get dirextx 9.0c to work, Jade Empire WORKS! And it's a great game, I just love the style of the game. The combat is quite cool too, a very good example that real time com...  [Read More]

Today I bought Jade Empire! Installed it first thing after I got home. Deleted all my Kotor safes to get enough space on my PC. And then I click on "start". *Insert complex dll name here* not found. I get the dll from another PC. I click o...  [Read More]
Played through it a few months ago. First of all, if you think this is a RPG you will most likely be dissappointed. This game focuses on combat - typical melee, stealth combat and magic. You can combinate these though (I played with sword fightin...  [Read More]

The 360 is cool with loads of exciting titles and live capabilities, and it doesn't even cost half of $1500+. Plus it sets a single standard that the industry can conform to until the next generation console comes out, which will be 5-7 years later,...  [Read More]

I can't bring myself to do it, even for a lust-worthy game like Mass Effect. I'll just wait a year or so after the game comes out in hopes that BioWare pulls a Jade Empire on Mass Effect and releases a PC version. If much more than a year goes by and...  [Read More]

I ask you, how can you "prove" observations? If I would observe that water is wet, and everyone else does also, we say "Water is wet" as a fact. The only possibility that it would not be correct is, that we're living in the matrix...  [Read More]

@Silentscope If you are sceptical about empirical data, well... How can you "prove" what your eyes and ears say see and hear? It could all be a big illusion, but there is absolutely no evidence that supports that. Science is based on infor...  [Read More]
