Greetings.
I see you're here for some deep, probing questions.
What has always stumped you, in-game or extraneously? I'm not talking lame answers like "how does he carry all that stuff" or "where do all the guards come from, we're in Siberia, I mean come on".
I mean such unsolved enigmas such as:
- Why does Ragnarok Online generate such awesome quality fan-art (and so much hentai)?
- How come nobody's made a god-hand esque game for the Wii yet where you synch the controllers to your fists (triggers could be grab, and much of the rest is physics and collision mechanics)?
- Why does Final Fantasy insist on crystals? The official line is that will always be crystals? Why?
- Sniper rifles. Why are they the best thing ever?
- How come big-budget titles that excel in so many areas still have unacceptably poor voice acting (eg. AC; Crysis)?
We may not find our answers, but by damn, we'll try.
Go.

that is the weirdest thing I've ever heard
An anime based on a MMORPG based on a korean comic...
That's weirder than a fighting game based on a movie based on a fighting game!
Why?
EDIT: Alternatively, why are Sony's commercials so freaking awful and overt?
Why didn't Nintendo on a Wii-naming binge. Wii Internet - Wiinternet, wiimote, and so on, branding branding branding!

Because the wiimote doesn't work that way.
Anywho, gaming wise, I am befuddled by mods. Some games get awesome mods and are amazing. Some games, that really could use mods... get none. I mean come on. No Mapping tools is not a legitimate excuse god dammit!
On the serious side... or trying to, same idea with DLC. Some 360 or PS3 games could really benefit from DLC but... companies almost like refuse to put some out for certain games. Or, if they do, they release one small thing and call it a day. (Looking at you Bioshock...)

because you are a big girl's blouse that's afraid of getting his hands dirty
sniper rifles: fuck 'em
And im not including AVP or AVP2 here, though both games are spectacularly great, I mean a proper game like the movie.
A mod is in the works for Crysis but I mean a proper game.
Basically, Predator is the best thing ever.
EDIT: OK so H.A.M.M.E.R isnt REALLY what your talking about, but it still looked sweet
.......why?
This and a real organ-based damage model have been long standing questions for me. Entrance and exit wounds were in Kingpin, a promising but ultimately bland FPS that came out around...1999? I think?
Why the hell did like 8 years pass before we got Metroid Prime?
Why the fuck doesn't Lucasarts wise up and start porting their old games in compilations?
Switch: 6200-8149-0919 / Wii U: maximumzero / 3DS: 0860-3352-3335 / eBay Shop
No, you've got it ALL wrong. He's hiding the growth. :winky:
First, I forget why but it had something to do with Project Dread.
Second, LucasArts is about as guarded about their old titles and IP's as Square, if I'm not mistaken. In other words they will eventually but will release them in totally arbitrary compilations across multiple platforms while completely avoiding digital distribution for no rational (or audible, for that matter) reason.
Also on the note. RE4:Mobile. The fuck? Really?

Because VA almost never has much budget and is done late in the cycle, so either bad voice actors are used or decent voice actors only have one take.
What I hate most is when they use a "hollywood star" in the voice cast, who doesn't necessarily know how to do voice acting. A professional voice actor can add so much more character. Hey games industry - just get Billy West to do everything.
Why did Activision port Guitar Hero games to mobile phones??
I think it's because a very crappy knockoff of GH for mobile phones sold relatively well a year or so ago.
its best to just avoid anything korean
Yeah this is the major problem with most AAA voice acting. They just scan their list of favorite actors and pay them 10$ to sit in a booth and say a few lines with out caring. Or if they do get a famous dude who is a good voice actor sometimes the directors don't want to tell someone famous that they are doing a line wrong and just go with it.
Basically actors should stay on the screen and voice actors should stay in the booth.
I never asked for this!
While your on the topic of anime I think a better question is how you can stretch a basic three hour movie plotline into a six year television show.
Same way they can take a 50 episode series and condense it down to a 90 minute movie. Just backwards.
I never asked for this!
Are you referring to Naruto? I was actually pretty into the show until I realized I was like 70 episodes in and they had basically taken a walk to some town, beat up some dudes, walked back, and started to compete in some tournament with a whopping three trials. Jesus fucking christ, The Sopranos is a faster show.
EDIT: I can't believe I just mentioned Narutard and The Sopranos in the same sentence. Someone shoot me.
Yeah, I know a guy that bought that.
It was surprisingly good. Thing is for all the music they used midi covers.

hey don't talk shit about dbz
dbz is wonderfully stupid and violent
...our towns would be destroyed.
...what ARE Goombas, anyway? ...they look... unsettling...
...why do the best games usually go by unnoticed?
...why can't 3rd party companies just try a little harder for Wii games?
hmmm
intterreesstting
asiina?
It's like a wrestling match... with constant power-ups and the ability to shoot blasts and fly.
That's what made DBZ gold.
....naruto on the other hand...
Have you played Godfather: Blackhand edition? It lets you do just that.
Why does FFTA have to be so bad?
Oh and sniper rifles are always the best because they have all the power of the real ones but none of the skill required to use them.
1. FFTA and FFTA:2
2. Its not bad its just not as good as FFT
I do wish more games would take a realistic approach on sniper rifles. Guns in general, really. Which reminds me, there was this one article about a year or so ago that went in depth on realistic weaponry/movement in FPS's. Wish I still had the link somewhere...
he's a flamer
bah domp pshh
Because without them, our love never would have begun
