I am sure there will be vast disagreements here, but Bioware has never equaled the two best games of Baldurs Gate and Knights of the Old Republic as far as the story. The first Baldur's gate was like an onion that unraveled slowly as you went, and you had no idea that you were a part of such a...

Two: X-Wing and Temple of Elemental Evil. The later just needs to be finished and polished, and I am not talking about all the fixes the unofficial patches did.

How did this thread get so far without a mention of Mr. Pink?

After three hours...I like it. A lot. As for the faces, I get what the issue is. The characters are actually much more expressive than typical video game characters. They smile, have realistic teeth, have emotions. But they needed a few more tweaks. Instead of it being amazing, it is off...

Yes and no. As to no, it was already pointed out that other movies portrayed brutal violence, and Platoon is a good example of that. The yes is much more technical. The entire portion of battle scenes are all shot at eye level, often over exposed, with several frames intentionally removed...

For those that have played it: Do you fly all the way to another galaxy where the aliens magically speak English, or do we get something a little more intelligent?

The by far most underrated is Princess and the Frog. Great story, villain, setting, music, etc. Have no idea why this is as omitted as much as it is.

Being that Drax is my favorite Guardian, sarcasm is lost on me.

Finished the Diablo 3 add on listed above, and they really should keep it as a permanent addition. I absolutely loved the music. Forgot how wonderful and atmospheric it was. I actually liked that it retained the mechanics of Diablo 3, but had small touches of the original, like the scrolls...

Gonna step out there and say this was the best of the eight. The reason is that it is the one that is the Star WARS. The good guys have to do bad things to win. The good guys have to sacrifice their lives and way of life for the chance to win. This movie did not pull any punches while...

Arkansas. Our alcohol is not as good as the OP's in Scotland. Scotch whisky is much better than moonshine. I am a fairly liberal person politically, and until recently I would say my state has pockets of racism, but I now believe they are everywhere. If you figure there are knuckleheads all...

Well, I am going to have a contrary opinion: books > movies > games. There is almost an infinite number of good books. Not so much with other media. The LOTR movies pale in comparison to the books. The only problem is that it is very hard for me to identify books I will really love. It is...

I love all the Craig Bond films, yes, all of them. But my absolute favorite has always been Thunderball. It has everything I like in a Bond film: SPECTRE, tropical location, large extremely unrealistic battle, and gadgets. Interestingly enough, it is one of the highest grossing movies of all...

They used to obtain licenses of more crowd pleaser films in years past. I recall reading somewhere that Benjamin Button helped them financially, as I am sure the Michael Bay films did. It seems like they are now almost exclusively in the art house area with several directors cooperating like...

Yes, the blu-ray releases of those are basically DVD quality. The question is what print/negative did they use for the Criterion DVDs? That was a million years ago, but a good negative and 4K scan could make them the best they have ever been. The other hurdle is somebody may have picked the...
