Sure, so would you say they have at least 10% the firepower? Because if so, it's still like a Hiroshima bomb every shot. The codex sets up a pretty scientifically interesting world for space combat. The game shows something entirely different. That's somewhat to be expected, I think, given that...

I don't read articles on the escapist very often at all. I tend to find them sensationalist, more weighted toward speculation than content, and prone to editorialize prematurely. But as to this specific article, if that was satire, it was played too straight. Without more context about...

1) Misleading headline 2) Microtransaction app that provides something you can get for free, anyway. 3) Article presents this as though it is an impressive development feat and something you would want. A cynic might be tempted to conclude that The Escapist has a financial motivation for...

The idea deserves points for originality, but I'm not sure how well it would work without some serious modifications. Others have addressed the gameplay, but I also think it would be harder to create a sense of dread when you get at will eagle eye and can tap into any room. Much of what makes...

Meh it's easy to care about another person's character if you're invested in that person. If my best friend gets involved in a D&D campaign, I'm genuinely curious what he's playing, and if he has any backstory for his character, I'd like to hear it. What I found difficult to care about and...

Interesting. Yeah, I could see that. I run tanking/dps companions a lot with my juggernaut because I can kill faster that way. If you let your companion take almost all of the heat, you can dismiss and resummon to get them back to full health, which is a lot faster than taking the heat...

Indeed you can. But I got a huge kick out of yahtzee's complaint here. For gunslingers, that has to be the worst possible ability your companion could have, and it's turned on by default. My understanding of the system is that cover is directional, so Corso not only pulls a guy close, but if...

You mean, you won't, from now on? It was funny reading your article and getting to this point, because her looks had not occurred to me as a thing to think or comment about.

Actually, no, her job is to entertain. That's why the advice is published. Once you realize that the job of every advice columnist is ultimately to entertain readers, it all begins to make a lot more sense.

A word of advice to the author: Not everything is exactly as it appears, and I think it would behoove you to show a bit of restraint in your judgment and gender stereotype pigeonholing. It's not easy being a naive young man in love with a girl who doesn't feel the same way. Try being more...

Fair enough. Personally, I like their character designs so far, but to each his own. I noticed that, though I'm hoping that's not the whole story. Bounty hunter and Trooper may both be gadget oriented and heavily armored, but it does appear that they at least have different gadgets that...

So I think the video was pretty funny. I was a bit worried at first that it would just come off as antagonistic and spiteful, but the fun seems to be poked amicably enough. The thread is another matter. Why do people have such vitriol for this game? Bioware is trying some genuinely new...

Some people produce their best work when they're on drugs or alcohol. Did you not like your campaign? I've personally always been proud of the PnP RPG campaigns I've been a part of. You and I look at it in different ways. I would tend to say "They are good" rather than "I suck" if someone...

Then I think you quoted the wrong part of my post. I answered that particular concern when I said:
