I am buying this game for pc because it looks awesome. I like the fact that the game changes to how you act and that you can controll teams and mass :p

Not for a while, maybe in 1 or 2 years....

Jasperking

10-11-2007, 08:07 PM

Scott

What about Halo 3 and the other games that are 360 only?

Jasperking

10-11-2007, 08:38 PM

Yeah i would get a 360 for a majority of games.. if i had the money. I also dont have the money to fawk out for 360 games either if i bought a 360 so it would be pointless :p

Start with the older ones like Fight Night, the first GRAW and Oblivion then the new games right now wouldn't be so new or so expensive

wow!!! the graphics looks great...how i wish i could play this one...

Jasperking

10-12-2007, 11:58 AM

Im guessing you dont have a 360 then. You can wait till it comes out on pc.. or you ask a friend to get it :p. Or even buy it for his bday if u are that rich XD

It's going to be a good game. It's definetly a must buy!

Scott

10-13-2007, 01:51 AM

Well it looks like it's going to be a big seller. Since so many people seem to be planning on getting it

Jasperking

10-13-2007, 08:31 AM

I really do wonder if the sales will match halo 3 lol

Scott

I don't think so. Halo 3 was more hyped and it was the BIG end to the trilogy.

Jasperking

10-13-2007, 11:01 AM

hmm i guess thats true.. but this game looks better than halo 3 lol

Toxic

10-13-2007, 05:02 PM

they are both good games well from what ive seen me shouldnt fail.

Scott

10-13-2007, 05:20 PM

Also, not everyone likes Sci-fi or RPG's. Or maybe they had KOTOR and didn't like it.

Toxic

10-13-2007, 09:39 PM

I hope ME is good. Im going to be so mad if it isnt

Scott

10-13-2007, 09:49 PM

I found the first ME review:

Now thats a good score

With Bioshock, Halo 3, PGR 4, and Mass Effect all 360 exclusives, who on earth would buy a different console?

If someone wasn't interested in any of them then they deserve to be shot (Ok shoting them is going a bit far but...)

If someone would but a PS3 instead because they don't like those games that's when you shoot them

Scott

They'd need to be crazy to give up those games for a PS3

I wont be getting this game till my birthday (December 15th). Because every year mum gives my some early birhday mone and this year I got H3, Orange Box (Which is amazing) and Bioshock. So I'll need to wait

Blackbird

I'm never try this game before

Scott

10-20-2007, 06:32 PM

I'm never try this game before

The game has not been released. It's an Xbox 360 RPG (Well I think it's an RPG) set for release on November 23rd. I has not been reviewed on gamespot yet. Call of Duty 4 and Assassins Creed are going to be released in November too. They will be released before it. If you have played and enjoyed Jade Empire or KOTOR you should like this. Because it's pretty much the same gameplay.
Yeah I know that's long but I've been away for a while and felt like writing something long lol

So is this a RTS or what?

I just saw this developer's walkthrough.

I do not understand why in every fight they stop time and select what each character should do and should go after? Is this the main point of the game?

I understand that they want to keep RPG aspects at the core, but I can see this issue making the game WAY too easy.

They could have solved this by not having a HUD, and making it a one button push for these powers, but again, it would not be easy to capture the people flying around.

You do not have to play it like that if you don't want to. You could play it in the same style as Gears of War if you wanted to, without any squad management (in combat at least) at all.

Exactly. Their are layers to the combat system that all play differently. If you want, you don't have to pause at all and your squad members will direct themselves. But if you want to form plans and strategize better, you can control each party member and tell them specifically what you want them to do. Two very different styles in the same game for all aspects of gamers.
