Okay apparently CCP (the people that are developing it) are going to be at the european GDC in august announcing their next game.
CCP , of EvE, is making this?! Hrmmmm. At least they're not afraid to make their own game, with their own rules. Then again, CCP blatantly backing an ingame alliance in their own game really made me doubt their sanity.
It certainly is the most surprising game related thing I read in a while.
Is the hotel before or after the resolution of the Voerman sisters' story? Because that storyline alone is worth $20 (and afterward you'll be hooked enough to brave 10 minutes of haunted hotel).
During. They own it and you need to stop it being haunted so they can continue work on it, if I remember correctly, it's like the last thing you do for them beforehand.

My favorite rpg of all time.
Also, FUCK THE OCEANSIDE HOTEL.
edit: I want a new one of these! This game is so great and well-written! Seriously. The fucking Oceanside is actually a really great example of how to do horror right in a game.
But the hotel is good scary, not fucking screamers or anything. And if you want to be more creeped out:
There's actually about 4 times you can see the husband in there, but you have to look at the right place at the right time. I never saw him either time through, which creeps me the fuck out. Also when you first go to the beach you see beckett in wolf form run along the cliffs if you look there, which I also didn't notice the first time around.

I noticed him my first time. I thought a werewolf was going to get me.

Figuring out how to kill the giant werewolf at the observatory was so epic. Doors crushing him, he's still madly clutching and clawing at you.

And then you find out that he is a little pussy compared to a werewolf. That bit was really good at showing you that you don't fuck around with WoD werewolves.
And that Nines is the ultimate badass (if you went with the Anarchs).

I really wish there was another edged weapon in the game besides a Katana. Ever since Highlander, if you're an immortal whatever, you have a Katana. What about a claymore, or a saber, a good cut-and-thrust weapon? Nope, it's Katana for you.

This irritated me until I learned that the katana is basically the ultimate in sword technology.
It does literally everything any other sword does.

The katana is just a bastard sword with good PR and the fanboys think samurai could WTF Pwnz any other warrior in history. Like the Vikings or Roman Centurians were pussies.

Not really. It's a slashing weapon, which would do dick against good chain mail. What makes them so special is the steel technology used, which is more metallurgy than sword design.

Incorrect, the katana is a slashing, stabbing, and ..... whatever the third class of swordy weapon is. There are three of them, and the katana employs mechanics of all three types. It is most effective as a slashing weapon, this is true, and more specialized weapons will do one or two of the other types perhaps better
but this is what I was told by that National Geographic special, and Nat Geo doesn't fuck around with swords!
Most effective against unarmored and like-armed targets.
The katana is a second rate fencer and it has none of the bashing power you would need against armored opponents in medieval Europe. A knight with a bastard sword would probably turn the first slash, grab his blade and hilt , bash your nose in with the pommel, and then proceed to turn you into ground chuck.

That pissed me off too. The viking was just fighting like a tard instead of a berseking machine of rage and death.

Seriously, a fucking relatively small force of warriors conquered the shit out of all England.
Like three fucking times.
I posit, however, that nowhere else on tv do you get to see a bunch of guys chop pigs up with katanas or hit them with morningstars
At least they got Spartan vs Ninja right. I bet a bunch of fanboys shit their sweatpants that night when the spartan gutted the ninja like a pig and won the battle. They were all expecting the ninja to blast out with a magical flurry of attacks with doves flying in slow motion and a million lotus petals slowly dropping from the sky before making the spartan's heart explode with his mind.

I didn't see the end of that one, I'm glad it ended right
One of the more retarded ones was "Yakuza versus Mafia"
The Mafia won for some reason, but it was absolutely asinine

Anyway a better match up would have been Mossad vs. Spetsnaz or Seal Team 6 vs. SAS
