It may seem like it would be a politically appropriate thing to do, but I would be genuinely surprised if Austrailia joined with the US in my lifetime. Australia would have to give up their way of government, among other things. I doubt that the peop...  [Read More]

I stopped listening to PC Gamer when they got their new management. Those mags used to be a good 3cm thick, but now they're like 0.5cm and they're all ads. Plus the reviewers aren't as good as the old crew. Besides, E3 had so much to show this year,...  [Read More]

It may turn out that Drain would actually become weaker as a result of the change (although unlikely :( ). The force cost could be huge, for example, and it might not take away more than, say, 15 hp. Maybe. I think we need to wait for the game to com...  [Read More]

The way I look at it, good EU doesn't go against anything put forth in the movies. Great EU doesn't go against the movies or other (good) EU. The rest is all not good. Bloodriot sez: I dunno... sometimes it's hard to come up with good ideas that don...  [Read More]

That would be a neat idea for an RPG, but for JA I think it would be too limited and would get to a point where if you havn't finished the game, you don't have a chance....  [Read More]

I have a dumb question: Is Force Lightning actually electricity or is it just force "magic"? It seems to me that Yoda channelling an actual lightning bolt is pretty far out; if it was just "the force" it would make more sense, I t...  [Read More]

I don't like the idea, simply because I'm no fan of Ep.II. I didn't like the way it felt. Plus, I don't really want to see lightning as much in JA anyway. Of course, this is just my own opinion, and I'm in something of a minority. As long as the game...  [Read More]

I agree that tends to be a problem. Capcom isn't a good example though, they were still riding the street fighter series when RE1 came out, so it's not like they were the little fish in a big pond. Games like that don't balance SW style with good ga...  [Read More]

Welcome to the forum. There are certain rules of conduct we follow here, may I suggest you study them? I didn't like the way Dooku could move things at the same time as he shocked them. Maybe I'm just biased because I didn't like Dooku as a charac...  [Read More]

Well, the collision detection system that is supposed to be implemented in JA might be able to solve that problem. It could be made so that light hits bounce off after they strike, like when Luke hit Vader in the shoulder. If some kind of "smart...  [Read More]

The cutscenes are very important to me. In JO, most of the cutscenes dealt with Kyle Katarn, whom you play as the whole game. A cutscene seems unneccesary if it deals with the protagonist; the story could be moved along through the gameplay. I think...  [Read More]
