Half of it is speculation, the other half is fabrication.

This is the stuff I think he's saying is ridiculous. And it is.

In an ideal situation for roleplaying, you would be able to have everyone saying their actions real time and therefore have less time to use information from outside game or talk to people about tactics in a way that should be impossible in the middle of a fight. That's what I think, anyway.

So the only way to combine items should be to use every part of both of them?

This is ridiculous. Fallout three might not be the best game ever ever ever, but the idea that it's going to be a bottom of the barrel game doesn't make any sense whatsoever. I absolutely agree. I was just mentioning it to point out that film is not only a linear medium. It's too late. He's...

That's about where I stand. Hey, can we not play semantics? Umm... that's not what I meant to quote, this is: Not sure how that happened.

At least if he gets it you don't have to wonder if it's worth watching.

Yeah, I edited that post to show why I might have missed any and all advertisements for Oblivion. The word of mouth I heard was more along the lines of "best RPG for the PS3" than anything else. Which, upon closer reflection means "it's one of three RPGs for the PS3". I will state again...

Yes, that's why I put the next part that you omitted in there.

I picture him as pretty much perpetually rubbing his palms together. He's like a cartoon villain. Although, I have it on good authority that at certain times he's punching people who don't like his movies. So it's not actually perpetual.

Yes, it is. I'm not talking about sales, I'm talking about critical reviews.

No. That's based on sales. This is based on what critics think. I'm doing an appeal to authority, you're thinking of appeal to popularity. I saw none of the advertisements for it. Not even a little bit of them, and I picked it up six months ago based on word of mouth. I thought it was fun...

I'm just waiting for someone to want to make a video game movie with a respectful attitude to the source material. I think with Fallout it might be possible as the source is pretty strong on its own. The only problem would be marketing it to American audiences who don't want shades of gray for...

Go see Clue and see how that holds up. Ideally, it would be Patrick Stewart as a kind of 007 secret agent with mental powers that can make women take all their clothes off.

Well, in SH 1 it's the father who's looking for the girl in Silent Hill, but they thought it would work better with her mother looking for her, and the game devs said when the movie was first being discussed that if they were making the game today, the protagonist would be a woman. Other than...

OK, I'm not disagreeing that Silent Hill 2 would have made a better movie, but that was not "prologue crap" that was Silent Hill 1, adapted for the screen by a genius art director and ten thousand chimps at typewriters for the script.

Even if the main quest is bad, which remains to be seen, you greatly underestimate people's willingness to make bad movies. Besides, they didn't say "if anyone wants to" they said "if certain big name well respected directors want to." Hell, I think they'd hear out Quentin Tarantino if he...

Regardless it was a major contender in almost all of them, which means that it was at its root, a pretty damn good game. I understand not everyone liked it, and I'll be the first to admit it's flawed, but I had a damn good time with it playing just the PS3 versoin without the shivering isles...

I guess I just don't follow the news as closely as some people.

I dunno, the only real hype I've heard is people giving it Game of the Year buzz, which Oblivion got. It makes sense to think that they have a chance of making another game of the year if only because of their previous success.
