  1. And we wouldn't have to scream every time someone calls Aerith the most shocking death in gaming... Fire Emblem Scratch N' Sniff - Soldiers after three days of marching through the Spirit Forest. Smells like old socks.
  2. Doesn't matter, the article still raises some semi-legitimate points. Seriously, why DO all the 360 exclusives use guns?
  3. Damn it guys, SAO season one was GOOD. Admittedly it went downhill really, really, REALLY fast but season one was GOOD.
  4. 5/10 Score breakdown: + Required presence (4) + Castling can sometimes set up the next few turns quickly and efficiently if done correctly (1) - Not much utility (-3) - Limited range (-1) - Bad starting position (-1)
  5. If you are playing the main quest for Morrowind, you are doing something wrong. For realz.
  6. Pretty much the only thing I feel good with buying online is Steam, and even then I'd much rather have a box somewhere. It's not so much the having a physical disc, but rather the box and paper instruction manual for me.
  7. The problem with QC is a bunch of legal and school issues that come with it, not the learning of the language. For example: All french text must be 2x as big as English text. That's fine. Keeping immigrants from England from participating in an English high school and forcing them to attend a french one instead of their mother tongue, making them learn Science/Math in French instead of the language they already speak fluently? That's not so good. Thank god there's a legal loophole involving only being here on a work permit. Means you can't get a job though, so reliant on your parents, it makes you. ANYWAY BACK ON TOPIC Sorry Missile, but it's a pretty accurate prediction.
  8. True that, I guess No, trust me. Having two official languages everyone must know is a pain in the ass. I live in Quebec. Trust me, just...just grin out the extra months. No-one else needs to deal with this. EVER.
  9. Suck it, Europe Eh, might be true. Europe`s been screwed over before by this `cause of the amount of languages it needs translated to. Pretty substantial gap between EU and NA though.
  10. But if you go Midayl with Aideen you still get the Hero Bow AND the Pursuit skill...
  11. The WiiU's pad would make for a kickass Kotor-style RPG Just saying.
  12. It's Bethesda The games will always be buggier than any other AAA-list game on the market. ALWAYS.
  13. I shall repeat: The main quest itself tells you to bugger off and do something else. Pity about the number-crunching combat that causes misses even if it looks like you hit/horribly unbalanced magic that never works to start with and is overpowered from there on/lack of a reason to NOT steal everything you see that isn't nailed down or on fire (Even then, MODS). If you want to get the most out of Morrowind, you really need to look at the modding community: if you have a problem with the game, they have fixed it for you. No. Exceptions.
  14. As much as I appreciate all that the GBA games stood for, when the first ones you play are FE9/10 the lack of any form of Skills system throws you off a little. So my favorite's 10 for gameplay/level design, 4 for story and 9 for a good balance.
  15. Ellen for the Saint's Staff GOD DAMMIT LOOCY
  16. Morrowind magic is a bitch to play as. It does get rewarding towards the end, though, but the only combat spell you can reliably cast at the start does slightly less damage than just swinging the default iron dagger would. Properties were revealed based on your Alchemy skill, which you level up by consuming ingrediants/making potions. You could still use the ones you weren't aware of though. lolMorrowind Stealing
  17. Just as a note, there probably could by some freak genetic thing down the line as a series of distant relatives breed consecutively that the holy blood is restored out of sheer dumb luck. You know, like a recessive gene in both families that just doesn't get paired up until the eight child or something. Not studied genetics since ninth grade so probably wrong here
  18. You know how Skyrim just grabs your attention and goes "Dude, there's freaking dragons. Deal with this NOW?" Morrowind puts you on a boat, dumps you off, gives you a quest, and then the guy ACTUALLY SAYS TO YOU: "Eh, not yet. Go do something else for a while" Morrowind is probably the most open-ended one, thanks to how it's put out, but its also the least engaging. The reason Oblivion is 'meh' is because it falls into the territory of "better than Morrowind in this respect but still worse than Skyrim/Better than Skyrim in this respect but worse than Morrowind was at this" sort of rut. I have a severe bias towards Morrowind, though, as it was literally the thing that took most of my original Xbox's time (Different save files added up to about 5% of the drive's capacity, a surprisingly large amount...) and Oblivion just disappointed me compared to it.
  19. Because why the hell not? Anyway, my own personal favorite game of 2012: SPEC OPS: THE LINE Because I'm a sucker for good stories and blatant attacks on CoD/Battlefield, especially when done as well as this. I could force you through a tl;dr paragraph of why this game is awesome, but Extra Credits already did that. Long story short, it's a really well done story and a fantastic study of why we play modern shooters and why we probably shouldn't. If you don't wanna play the game, look for the last 15 minutes on youtube, as well as the sequence known as 'White Phosphorus', although I'd recommend just renting it if you don't wanna buy it. Runners-up: ASSASSIN'S CREED III Shuddup, I'm a fanboy for the series HALO 4 Again, fanboy DAY Z This isn't technically a game, so it got cut out short. But I've sunk countless hours into it, and it also made me discover the ArmA games, which are really good in their own right. JOURNEY It just...wasn't...long...enough...check it out though
  20. I do believe I can ski down a hill in a straight line, yes.
