I enjoyed the fact that the environments and even the majority of enemies were fairly realistic. You're not JUST taking on machines or giant monsters. Most of the villains are people with guns and armor. Hell, you even see a lot of the weaker mercs at the end. The environment is what I expect from a corporation. If they had a giant infrastructure like Half-Life 2, I would bet the government would look around and say, "Okay, so what's behind the force field and three foot steel door?" I liked the leaning thing because it allowed me to avoid getting hit. I scarfed up far more health kits in the second when I had to put my belly out there for everybody to see. And the slowing down thing I actually never took note of until the second time I played it through. I ran the entire game without needing it once. Sure, it made life much easier in retrospect, but my online play was much improved for learning to work without.

And yes, the scare factor was better in the first.

But I will agree that when I hear a franchise has been handed off, I worry that the game will become an entirely new beast. Fallout 3, Homeworld: Cataclysm, and Gothic 2 have proven that it's not always a bad direction, but Battlezone 2 and Fallout 2 (only in part) show it can be otherwise.

Btw, WHO'S YOUR DIETY!?!

Still not you

I've always been a huge Monolith fanboy, so whatever works.  Naturally I acknowledge people have differing tastes.

The Condemned series sure is odd though.  I'm wondering how they're going to wrap that series up.

Fixed

-Exiled Possum

Okay, so everyone has different tastes. True. That particular sequel just left a bad taste in my mouth, much like the Resident Evil movies.

  I like those too, but then, I don't like the games so hey.  (Mind you I've only played 5.)

women are like video games

yep, everyone has different tastes

my tastes in women are...ya know?  I like the imaginary ones.  They don't require much upkeep.

lol

that is true

Sorry to hear you don't like the real thing.  My girl on the other hand requires next to no upkeep, and I still get all of the fun stuff.  Pretty much all I have to do is show up.

*cough* Dumb *cough*

heh I'm happy. Girl I've dated lately likes paying. I fought it at first cause that works in my favor. I let it go about half the time.

Oh I wouldn't say I don't like them.

I just don't feel the need to put myself out there.

yes stant it was dumb

still kinda tired from work

lmao

Sarah Jessica Parker?

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAID

-Exiled Possum

That too.

RAID 0 is what I was going for.  never tried it before.  I'm sure it'll explode in my face.  boom

Speaking of such, I am normally a merciful guy. A giant spider (probably about 3/4 inch long) got into my house when I came in a few days ago. When I saw it again, I trapped it and threw it outside. Then it got in again, despite my attempts to trap it. I've noticed the abdomen getting progressively larger each time I saw it. So, it was in my house and I happen to go to the hallway and see it out in the open. I finally decide just to squash the thing and so hit it with a shoe.

BOOM!

Dozens of baby spiders explode from the corpse. So then a crazy ass stomp fest ensues. This was freaking five minutes ago. I just swept up litters of dead little spiders.

Fun.

boo
