    my level of optimism towards deus ex 3 is less than my level towards jurassic park 4

    because at least that might have raptors with machine guns

    Seriously, after playing the first sequel, I have absolutely no hopes for this one

    I'm just waiting until they release the High Def mod for the original

    I actaully like Doom 3, while actively disliking Half life 2. However, doom 3 is more of a loyalty thing, and Half life 2 was boring as church. However, the episodes where fun.

    I didn't hate Invisible War.

    It wasn't as good, obviously, but it still had its moments.

    And let you take a flamethrower to penguins, so that's a definite check in the "plus" column.

    i just heard a great idea for the nba all-star game

    basically make it so it's got 22 players voted in entirely by fans, and the top two vote getters (lebron, kobe) get to pick their teams from the remaining 20, schoolyard style, with winner of coin toss getting first pick.

    fuck this east/west bullshit, i want to see grown men cry at being picked last

    Oh Gurusloth, you delightul man.


    Bioshock is cool. I should play that again. I think I might have traded it in for something...

    :| But I mean some kind of alternate-past steampunk where, like, the South succesfully seceded from the Union and Texas is still a sovereign nation and the Texans and Mexicans border-raid in fucking airships like beautiful wooden boats with gas bladders and coal-fired jet engines strapped to them.

    With deck-mounted steam cannons.

    You can disagree all you want, I just couldn't get into it. So far it is the only game to date where I have been chased by a helicopter and later fought a helicopter and the entire time I was bored shitless.

    You suck

    The opening levels of HL2 are some of my favorite ever

    they do a great job of creating that sense of urgency and you feel like you're playing the world's best chase scene

    I discovered i could take my time for the most of it and have no ill effects. Also the boat handled like an ass overed in oil with no way to steer. Fuck that boat. I'm sure it's a perfectly fun game, I just couldn't get into it.

    Also, No you suck.

    I think it hit its peak as you escape the city

    and then it starts to become more repetitive

    honestly by the time I finished HL2 I was happy to be done

    I'd like to see more emergent gameplay rather than heavily scripted sequence after heavily scripted sequence.

    An experience that is different every playthrough and all that.

    I played it only one year ago or so and I'm guessing that has a major effect on how I felt about it

    making a game that is fun to play based on procedural algorithms is almost impossible. there is so much work that goes into making a game fun, and they'd have to playtest every permutation or else run into the Spore Effect (boring)

    Ravenholme was pretty fun, I was sad when it was done because it went back to run run, shoot shoot, teeter toter, run shoot, repeat.

    there was this alternate ww2 history game that was coming out that i was really excited for, where they put in technologies and projects the nazis were working on before the war ended. apparently it was awful though.

    HL2 was immensely enjoyable overall

    The opening levels, with Gordon hauling ass through the city, and Ravenholme were the the highlights though

    The last few levels were a bit repetitive
