PC Games for 2007.

Wow, that Puzzle Quest Demo is rather awesome.  Who'd have thought I'd have any interest in that Consoley Japana RPG shit ?

[Tebonas]

Ah, its one of those "I don't buy what I don't like" bans. What other people call normal consumer behaviour! 

[Ironwood]

Schild admits to no explanation.


Not twice, anyway.

[schild]

No Tebonas, I've skipped a shitload of games by EA over the better part of a decade I would've LIKED to buy. And would've LIKED playing. I didn't even "borrow them from the internet."

And yea, Puzzle Quest is awesome.

And that Consoley Japananese RPG shit? Yea, it's GOOD. Shock. Awe. See, America makes a lot of shitty sports, action and shooter titles. Sometimes we make something that's gret. Japan makes SHITTONS of RPGs, most bad, but a good deal of them good. People don't like Japanese stuff because they don't like wading through shit to find gems or they are elitist pricks. Of course, there are some people - VERY FEW - who are simply too impatient to deal with RPGs. Though, many times, those people should be in the elitist prick pile anyway.

Not liking the anime/manga/hentai/whatever style with the doe-eyed kids and whatnot makes people elitist pricks?

 

[schild]

I'll take doe-eyed kids over the malformed genetic-mishap faces of Oblivion.

There are a lot of different artists in Japan. Not all of them are the same.


Pretty much like it is on the rest of Planet Earth.

[Sky]

I agree. I just don't like it in general, I'm sure there are a few specific things I'd enjoy. It's like rap music. I can't abide most of it, but there are a few genuinely talented artists.

And schild, you won't hear me defending Bethsoft's stuff. Morrowind's character generation was abysmally bad, I think of all the permutations I found one that I liked. I did have a bit better luck in Oblivion, but it took forever and didn't alleviate all the mutant npcs.

But I don't like kids. I also don't dig Harry Potter stuff.

[Stormwaltz]

I think I may have just shit myself.  HOI2 owns my soul.  I've had to force myself to uninstall that game so I could get my life back.

It's already available, and for only a $5 download.

Looks like one new feature, a revamp of some air combat code, and a "random" scenarios.

[Merusk]

Most everything gets a line or three about it.  One stood out to me:

Lords of the Rings Online
Another Turbine game

Heh.

Another World is getting a remake, too?  Cool, that game was fucking tough. I had it on my laptop at one point. Hrm.
