[QUOTE=Mister Sandman;45106066]I also don't think Fallout 2 is exactly the best Fallout game. *long rant about how fallout 2 is kind of poopy*[/QUOTE] Well, shit. I have to say my opinion has been, for the most part, reversed. I'm near completion, or at least, I've made it past the half way point, and man, during the latter half, the game really does open up and become fair. You spend most of your time in areas from Fallout 1 and you get to see what happened to them, as well as tons of new lore and direct dealings with the antagonists, and enough skills and perks at this point to actually be able to handle things competently. I've been unable to tear myself away from it for two days now. While you do barter primarily with items rather than actually spending your money, it kind of feels more like literal bartering, which isn't bad. The towns and characters have all become really interesting, primarily because they're building on stuff from Fallout 1 now. Traveling through the world map becomes a fun breeze once you get the highwayman, and the music for it is [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jxn1sqAQ-c]so fucking good it makes my ears orgasm[/url] I just wish it didn't take [B]half the DAMN GAME[/B] to get there so yeah, Fallout 2, I change my opinion, it is pretty damn good at least once you're able to handle the challenges ahead (and it turns out I missed a bunch of shit that would've helped me out anyway so if you really try you might have it a lot easier than I did) just the first half is a son of a bitch and, at least for the Temple of Trials, I say, go ahead and go easy mode, or give yourself a 10mm pistol with a save editor, or whatever, because it's plain bullshit (even the Devs hate the Temple) and you shouldn't have to put up with it. Well, to make up for my being converted, I'll replace it with something else; I don't want Fallout to go back to the east coast, quite frankly. It doesn't feel right to just abandon every damn group, like the super mutants, ghouls, NCR, Vault City, and others and then replace them with mock-up versions on the other side of the country. Everyone's all hyped about Boston, androids, the Commonwealth, and all that shit, but fuck that, honestly. I like it right where it belongs. [I]WEST SIIIIIDEEEE[/I]
The Dark Souls games are really boring
[QUOTE=Sharker;45179070]The first Ratchet & Clank was the only good one.[/QUOTE] more like the first series, I didn't like TOD or CIT very much, I haven't played the newest one though.
[QUOTE=Emperorconor;45178914]The collapse of the Roman Empire was a good thing.[/QUOTE] The Roman Republic was good
BioShock Infinite was just as good as BS1 and BS2. What is it with the third game in a trilogy always being regarded as the shittiest one of all by the general populace lately? Everyone says Mass Effect 3 was bad. Everyone says BioShock Infinite was bad. Everyone says The Old Republic (it's kiiiiiiiind of like a KotOR 3) was bad. Everyone says Skyrim (yes yes, it's the fifth TES game, but it's the third one to be both rendered in 3D and released on consoles) was bad. I don't fucking get it. Does that mean Episode Three is going to be bad?
It's not exactly a new thing, it happened a lot with movie trilogies too, and not everything follows the trend.
[QUOTE=ImpSnob;45178935]it was for Ireland we laughed at the rest of Europe, our shitty weather saved us from the Dark Ages![/QUOTE] Not to sound like a know it all but the only reason Ireland was saved my due to fact that the empire had gotten to Big, Hadrian was emperor went the romans had reached England, They decided to end there Empire there. Hence the reason we have Hadrian's Wall. It was to symbolise Romans final expandsion into the west of europe. We Irish were just lucky!!

I feel bad telling my friends this when we play online, but I find i just do it now to keep them happy. There only so many times you can Headshot someone!!
[QUOTE=Kentz;45199570]The Roman Republic was good[/QUOTE] It grew too big.
I'm interested in seeing what the world would have been like if... The british empire didn't collapse. Other colonial empires are a maybe Socialism took off.

[QUOTE=Lordgeorge16;45199633]What is it with the third game in a trilogy always being regarded as the shittiest one of all by the general populace lately? Everyone says Mass Effect 3 was bad. [/QUOTE] That's because ME3 is pretty bad. I mean you get the crowd who says "yeah the ending sucked but the game was fun", but was it really? Pointless surprise antagonist (wow a random cyborg ninja, never seen that before), lack of meaningful conversations with crew members (outside of DLC you have to buy), huge gaps in the story (partially filled by DLC you have to buy, hi paywall Prothean and Leviathans), shitty linear gun fights. And to dismiss just how horrible that ending was is doing an injustice to everyone who liked the first two games. That ending was one of the worst I've ever seen. It was Battlestar Galactica bad. My unpopular opinion is that Deus Ex was pretty shit. I played it when it first came out because everyone promised lots of meaningful choices, lots of ways to play the game... but that really wasn't the case. Stealth really was the only real choice (anything else would kill you), and most of the guns sucked so hard the only way to play was melee. Story was incredibly predictable, JC is a boring shitty character, stealthing with a glowing sword makes no sense, etc... The fact that this was the studio that put out Thief, which was incredible, blew my mind. How could they get it so wrong? I actually liked Human Revolution. It felt like it was everything Deus Ex tried to be. Ending was a bit weak but whatever. I think all the Deux Ex fans who didn't like HR must have been wearing some serious nostalgia goggles because it is a far better game.

As for deus ex... Stealth is only realy important during the first few missions. Once you become a hybrid of The flash and wolverine you don't need it. You can make all kinds of crazy choices. Like there's several places to kill (or avoid entirely) each boss. Dialogue and rewards can change entirely. Also guns are only shit if your gun mastery is low. The only thing bad about deus ex is that it's a pain to hit the f7 and f9 keys all the time. Stuff like that should have been automatic. (also; Flash wolverine combo was stupidly OP)

Which led to the multiplayer being the best part of that game because you don't have to deal with all the story bullshit.[/QUOTE] Yeah funny enough I didn't mind the multiplayer. It was (unfortunately) the best part of ME3. Actually now that I think about it, I have an opinion even more unpopular than not liking Deus Ex. I recently watched Neon Genesis Evangelion... what a huge mistake. Reading the IMDB reviews and seeing everyone talk about it like it's the best thing to ever grace a television set, and here I am thinking not just that I didn't like it, but that it was one of the worst shows I've ever watched. This show may have fooled me into thinking it was good when I was 12, but at 26 the static, unrealistic whiny characters grated my nerves constantly. The only psychological drama taking place was me trying to force feed myself that bullshit.

It was Battlestar Galactica bad.[/QUOTE] Kai Leng wasn't "random" or "surprising", he was featured in numerous comics before the release of Mass Effect 3 and everyone knew he was going to be in ME3 one way or another. If you didn't know about him before that point, then you probably didn't read any of the comics. He was still a wicked douchebag throughout the game, but that's just the type of character he is. You can have conversations with your crewmembers by meeting them on the Citadel after they send you a message on Shepard's private terminal, asking to talk somewhere. Alternatively, you can occasionally speak to them on the Normandy, and bringing certain characters on certain missions will provide you with bonus dialogue, which is usually their input on a given situation or some kind of witty remark to add. I personally found a lot of the crewmate conversations to be very interesting and meaningful, as they provided insight on how each character perceived the Reaper War and how they have changed since they met Shepard. I'll admit some characters (Steve Cortez and Samantha Traynor are two that come to mind) weren't particularly interesting, but it's always nice to hold conversations with the ones we've known since the first game, like Kaiden/Ashley, Garrus, Tali, and Liara. I happened to get From Ashes automatically because I got the Digital Deluxe version of ME3, and while I do agree it would've been a lot better if Bioware included it and Leviathan for free like they did with the Extended Cut for two years, I bet you those shrewd men at EA wouldn't have let them do it even if they wanted to. Mass Effect 3 had the best combat out of the trilogy. In 1 and 2, I never used any powers aside from Squad Heal to revive my teammates because I simply didn't feel like I needed it. In Mass Effect 3, I found myself constantly applying different ammo types for different enemies, ordering my teammates to take cover in specific locations, the whole shebang. If anything, Mass Effect 2 had the most linear gunplay out of the trilogy, and while Mass Effect 1 used an entirely different weapon system (guns cooling down instead of relying on discharging thermal clips to reload), it really didn't feel special or revolutionary. You used "ending" in the singular sense. I'm guessing you either didn't have a high enough EMS to get more than one option (which is stupidly difficult to achieve, especially if you have Extended Cut installed), or you only picked one, thought it was shit, and didn't even think to try the others. I personally enjoyed [sp]Synthesis out of the four options because Control was exactly what Cerberus and the Illusive Man wanted and we all know how much of an asshat he is. Destroy is my second favorite, but only with an EMS of 3100 or higher so that Shepard lives in the end, but the negative connotations and implications that come with Destroy are very bad in the long run, what with all of the Reapers being destroyed that now they can't prevent the synthetics, when they are inevitably rebuilt, from eventually rising up and rebelling against their organic masters. Refusal is just Refusal, but it gives a neat alternate scenario for what might have happened if the Reapers succeeded in their harvest of the galaxy and their fate was left up to the next galactic cycle. Synthesis corrects both of the main problems with Control and Destroy, because all organic and synthetic life is merged across the galaxy. Organics now have the means to further advance and perfect their societies in a peaceful, beneficial way, synthetics now understand and possess organic emotions and therefore will be treated on an equal level as the organics, eliminating their eventual rise and rebellion. The Reapers, who are fully aware of all of these developments (and are also now merged with organic life like other synthetics), now have no reason to continue their harvest and instead help to rebuild the galaxy on their own accord and even share the technologies of cycles long past, instead of being forced to by Shepard in the Control ending. The galaxy becomes a better place for organic and synthetic life indefinitely[/sp].

I think all the Deux Ex fans who didn't like HR must have been wearing some serious nostalgia goggles because it is a far better game.[/QUOTE] Well, I started with HR and then played through DX, and I quite like both. I think there's more to it than nostalgia. However I still feel DX gives you more freedom, for instance you can completely ignore/flee the boss fights, something you can't really do in HR. The boss fights really are my main gripe with HR. Story-wise, HR feels much more grounded in reality than the first one, but they're both good in their own way IMO.
I thought the original deus ex was much better because - more choice/consequence/ far more map freedom. - Better music. Just look at this masterpiece: [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHQZNNajxOk[/url] - Game was entirely first person. HR's jumps to third person felt out of place and you kinda felt like you were cheating because you could look over obstacles without the aug. - powers were cooler. Enemy was cooler. Weapon variety was cooler. - Nanomachines. - No yellow tint over everything everywhere. Only thing that HR did significantly better (other than graphics) is... -had a more directed first level. -Passive abilities that activated when needed (strength, jump) abilties were just easier to use. They weren't as cool but they were easier to use.
I didn't like HR, when I played it, ammo was scarce, I'm guessing that the developers wanted you to do either a stealth or pacifism play style. the energy bars were scarce so I spent the whole game with only half the default stamina. I beat the game only once, but I just didn't care enough to replay the game anymore.
i never finished the original deus ex because the gameplay is just not fun for me
