Hey all. I frequent Terra Arcanum and I'm currently working on an Arcanum mod that is nearing completion. I attempted to go to Terra Arcanum today and I am getting a wierd re-direct. I'm using my favorites link like I always do. Does anyone here go there? And if so have you noticed...

I know it is sacrilege to say it here but ... I think consoles will really hit their stride when modding is possible. Currently there should be the ability to do low level map/campaign creation (ala Starcraft) and upload it to XBOX Live for other gamers to enjoy. I know custom skinning...

assloads, boatloads, and craploads - oh my!

No, I didn't. But it is a good point. So the main 'technical restraints' to a 'good interface' on a console would be graphic resolution, and the ease of navigating the interface (the baseline being the keyboard/mouse combo)? Since the resolution hurdle has been / is being met, the only...

First Person cRPGs that Rocked: System Shock II and Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines I'm currently playing Vampire and I love everything about the game - except the real time combat system. WAY too 'actiony' for an RPG. I know this has been mentioned time and again on these boards...

Kinda curious as to why there has to be a 'crappy interface' just because it is on a console? 1) The X-Box 360 has a default resolution of 720p for each game, I believe. Which translates to 1024x768 - a setting I typically use on my computer and one which an HDTV has no problem displaying...

I agree very much that games appear to be 'dumbed down' on consoles as opposed to a number of hardcore PC classics. While I prefer to game on a console, I'd rather do it with the same quality titles as I've enjoyed on a PC. Since more and more games are being made on consoles (and maybe less...

That is so not appealing to me...

Lets see - I notice there are a number of people on these boards from other countries, and they may or may not know how the American system of government works - since many countries (including the US) put the most effort into teaching their own form of government. Also, the statement I...

Just got Myst IV. The wife and I recently finished Myst III (I finished it when it first came out, but we went back and played it since she hadn't bothered). Thought Myst III was the worst of the three. Its puzzles were simplistic compared to Riven (which is my favorite), and the solutions...

Quick note on the 'American System': There are three branches of government: The Executive, The Legislative, and the Judicial. The Legislative is the one you're referring to when you mention the Senate. (the below was copied and pasted from this site since it is easier than typing it...

Dark - I understand your frustration, but Question did say 'it is so much more fun than clicking the attack button mindlessly.' Perhaps he hasn't been introduced to the 'finer wines' of the RPG genre? Then again, since he has 81 posts, you have probably seen more than I have regarding his...

Who is better - Ewoks or Jawas? and should Jar Jar's race be considered in the discussion?

true dat VD. at our local grocery store they have a widescreen tv with surround sound audio playing Episode 2, surrounded by drinks and chips all promoting the new release. they take 'market saturation' to new heights! just wait until you have television screens while in line at banks or...

*wipes his tears and then hands FJO the III the tissue box*

Okay. Think of democracy in this light: If the gaming industry was a democracy, then the majority of gamers would vote for games nothing like Fallout. In fact, games like Fallout would most likely cease to exist. Capitalism says 'vote with your dollars', so we produce a ton of games like...

yes. please share your experiences with Jade, Simple.

It looks like it's too late to stop - they've already infected the kids!! Right up the poop shoot! :shock:

Anytime you think you're ogre enough greatatlantic - take your shot :twisted: And the only reason I made the comment was because it is in Ratty's sig! :D BG:DA I&II is most likely the proper way to describe the Baldur's Gate series on the XBOX (and PS2 - which is where it started I...

Yes I've played Gladius, yes I own Gladius. I didn't use other people's words because it is so complicated, I used other people's words because at the time you both asked for more detail I was busy - and rather then make you wait I decided to search for a few reviews and link them. If you...
