[spoiler]Right hand penis![/spoiler]

Sam and Max Season 2 costs five cents more on Steam than on Telltale's store. Is that all the commission Valve gets?

I thought it'd never happen, but: Beyond Good and Evil is getting a sequel.

Hopefully Ubisoft will pimp this one properly, and with the universal love that critics and journalists have for this game, they should be able to get much more in the way of attention. Sort of in the way Shadow of the Colossus did in the wake of ICO.

Or they could totally Prince of Persia 2 the series.

Beyond Good And Evil was fun, I guess, but I really don't get all the hype. There was no depth to it! You had decent combat and decent stealth and decent photography and decent ship travel, but none of these game elements have much chance to develop before the game ends. On top of that, the story was almost offensively transparent. "You mean the sinister, villainous-looking robots are actually villains?!" It probably wouldn't have bothered me so much had there not been so much potential here--they went to all this effort to make Jade into a believable and nuanced heroine, and then they saddled her with cliched hero Double H and the piggy-eyed leader of the Alpha Sectors as a villain, and... man, I dunno. I guess I expected some real moral quandaries from a game named "Beyond Good and Evil".

Needs more flopping fish.

So, uh, it seems that Itagaki is quitting and suing Tecmo.

Hey, it's one or the other, buddy! Pick one!

Not an XOR Brent.

Brentai · « **Reply #230 on:** June 03, 2008, 12:15:34 PM »

Semantics in spoken language do not work that way!

Alternately: Saying "either" before "or" does imply an XOR.

There are actually quite a lot of spoken languages that work that way.

I suppose that pointing out a language barrier is probably to blame in the first place is likely to suck all the fun out of this.

Brentai · « **Reply #232 on:** June 03, 2008, 01:22:30 PM »

Not Japanese, as far as I know.

Also, yes, you spoilsport.

I would just like to point out that you are objecting to my debating the semantics in your debating of semantics.

Nobody has any liking for gerunds, Thad.

I thought grammar Nazis were supposed to be anti-semantic.

You can play Fallout for free now, for those of you who haven't. Like me. I haven't. So I'll be putting that next on my game queue.

Classic · « **Reply #237 on:** June 03, 2008, 05:21:59 PM »

Beware, rather slow paced by today's standards.

Norondor · « **Reply #238 on:** June 03, 2008, 06:00:55 PM »

And rather shitty compared to fallout 2.

Fredward · « **Reply #239 on:** June 03, 2008, 06:01:15 PM »

what

I found quite the opposite. Fallout 2 seemed unfinished, and the premise was less interesting. I never completed the game, myself.
