All of those games (haven't played Alpha Protocol) have crap sub sytems and combat engines though. Out of that list, only Mass Effect 2 has good combat and it's hardly what I'd constitute as being an rpg.

I play wrpgs for adventure and exploration and questing these days. Expecting any form of difficulty curve or deep combat systems is a fool's errand.

Playing Dragon Age on hard mode was the first time I've been satisfied with the overall mechanics, combat system and difficulty curve with a wrpg in years.

Modern day WRPGs to me are games that I have more fun reading about their initial designs (before they axe half of them off) than actually playing... A lot of the more recent ones tend to promise half the world to you (i.e. radically being able to change the story), be unbalanced, incomplete, filled with tons of bugs, and boring combat engines. I really like the Infinity Engine and mid 90's Ultima games though... the early WRPGs were waaaay too punishing to play, the more recent ones seem very neutered, but 90's WRPGs were just right...

Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 looks hot.  I'm hoping to hear about what else they fixed from the first game.  The worst problems, other than lacking features, were aliasing, collecting scrolls, and loading times.

Yeah Naruto UNS2 looks so good. With this generation of consoles, we've reached a point where anime games look better than the actual show, but we still only get Naruto and DBZ games. :(

And the Ubi Naruto games were really fun. Haters gonna hate.

Wait, hold the goddamn phone.


There are ZERO skill trees in Diablo 3? That's for a console version right? RIGHT?

Negative.

There are normal skill trees in D3:

Maybe if you can get it for like $3. The online war was the core of the game, the single player is pretty lame.

Should I bother with Fallout 3 considering New Vegas is coming out in a few months?  I've already played the 360 version, but I'd like to get the master race version and play with mods and DLC.

toyed with the idea of getting a PS3 for the bedroom instead of just a bluray player...couldn't find one online outside of a sliiy bundle. noticed when I went out there were none at any of the places we went to. checked best buys site and the closest one is 45 miles away.  :lol

anyone know of any reason for the apparent shortage, or is this just 'lol sony?'

random question about the 360's Castlevania SotN, is it a port of the PSX version or the Saturn's? does it have any bonus material?

PSX version with no extras.

You're thinking of the PSP port. The XBLA is pretty much just an emulated PSX version.

Has there been any progress on SNES emulation for the DS (i.e., games being close to 100% playable)? GBAtemp has a bazillion threads about emulators that are all outdated, and I'm hoping there's a more seasoned pirate here that can point me in the right direction

There's the new DSTWO, which has 2 processors installed allowing for more power - and a built in GBA emulator for DSis

Otherwise no

Nintendo hasn't been forthcoming with Wii Party details despite having quietly announced a release date for the game yesterday. Thankfully, retailers aren't being so shy with the info.

A listing at HMV mentions three intriguing mini games:

Wanwan Karuta
    The Wiimote for each of four players plays back a different sound. Which sound matches the animal that's shown on screen?
Remote Control Hide and Seek
    Hide your Wiimote somewhere in the room and have other players search for it, relying only on the sound made by the Wiimote.
Sensitive Bomb
    Hold the Wiimote like a bomb, and try to pass it off to other players without shaking it.

gaming is deaaaaaaaaad gaming is deaaaaaddd
sing with me!

Quote
HMV also confirms that Nintendo will be selling the game as part of an optional Wiimote bundle. A retailer revealed yesterday that Nintendo would be offering the game bundled with a pink or white Wiimote.

oh my god it's wii play again! why the nightmare won't stop? i want to return to ye olde psx era of squaresoft rpg

I hope the game's music is more dance oriented... there was a lot of questionable stuff in the last game. Having Deadmau5 is at least a promising start...
