"That shit" is also pro gay marriage, pro drug legalization and anti-war. Even if policies that are clearly not conservative don't convince you, the extreme hostility of conservative republicans toward libertarians in the party is very telling. I think either you don't understand libertarianism...

To Soldatmesteren, Tell you what: I'm calmer now than I was this morning. I shouldn't have been so quick to call you a troll, and I apologize for that. You keep insisting that I'm not reading or not understanding your posts. I believe I am, and that I simply disagree. In the interest of...

I did explain it, sometimes using specific examples of in-game mechanics and situations. I don't know why you can't understand the argument I made. I guess, as you noted, you simply are not a very perceptive or analytical person.

Yeah, I should have known better than to feed the trolls, but when I saw Fallout Tactics being mentioned like it was some kind of gold standard I got too irritated to use good judgement.

Jagged Alliance 2 and Silent Storm are both tactical combat games, not RPGs. Of course they have deeper tactical combat. You know what I really dislike about Wasteland 2? You see all of these different settlements and towns in various stages of development. They have different challenges and...

I read what you wrote, it's just nonsensical. Putting nonsense in the context of other nonsense is still nonsense. Fallout Tactics is a tactical combat game, Wasteland 2 is an RPG. Comparing the combat of an RPG to a tactical combat game, as though the RPG should have the same depth, makes no...

Yeah, now I'm sure you're just a troll. How does any of what you just posted justify holding the combat in Wasteland 2 to a higher standard than virtually every classic CRPG? How does this justify holding the combat to a standard held by purely tactical games? What is your argument at this...

Fallout Tactics should have deeper combat than Wasteland 2, since Fallout Tactics is exclusively a tactical combat game. Microforte didn't have to script complex quests, write branching dialog, or worry about player agency. Hell, they didn't even bother to learn the lore of the Fallout world...

The game has been consistently receiving scores in the mid eight range, which is hardly a level that I would consider impervious to criticism. Even if you're not referring to the gaming press, I haven't witnessed any kind of widespread hostility to criticism. I think you're being a bit...

That's what I gave her, and three skill points in (I'm only at Ag Center) she's got ~50% chance to hit anything. On top of that, because it takes 5 ap, more than most firearms, she's only getting one attack per round most of the time. That means that even if she hits, she's probably doing less...

I'm enjoying it a whole lot, but I do feel a little bit burned by the character system. I pretty much wasted most of the character points I spent on one of my characters because melee weapons are worthless crap, and readily available companions were better at the skills I gave her. I think it's...

I'm gonna be honest, I'm getting really excited. I wish I had taken off work on Friday.

I really like this definition of RPG. To put it another way: the major defining characteristic of an RPG is the ability to make meaningful choices within the context of your character and game world.

I would totally back an Arcanum 2. That would be fantastic.

I juuuust realized that I backed a tier that gave me access to the digital novellas, so I've started reading those to get pumped for the game.

That's not how kickstarter works, though. If the project doesn't meet its goal, the backers aren't charged. So unless they're referring to some other source of backers, then it is badly phrased or a blatant lie.

http://comicbook.com/blog/2014/08/16/exclusive-original-unaltered-cut-of-star-wars-trilogy-to-be-rele/ It looks like Disney may release the original, unaltered trilogy on Blu Ray. If it's true, they're already better stewards of the franchise than Lucasfilm.

I did all of this, except for the charged rings which I think I hadn't thought of at the time, and the stun grenades, which I felt bad about using because they were broken. Compared to a Mage or a pure melee build, it requires a lot of complexity and is extremely slow to get going. Going this...

I really wish Arcanum's combat and character systems weren't broken. It always felt way too difficult to play a gunslinger just because the bullets were so damned expensive. The difficulty in getting that build up and running compared to pure melee or a mage is just way too high.

Because he's 65 and probably 100 pounds overweight. Really, it's not that people think Martin is going to die tomorrow or the next day, it's that people believe the combination of Martin's age and his glacial writing pace make it highly plausible that he'll die before the book series is...
