Re: Fallout 3

I'll have to be honest. I'm a bit confused with your arguments, since I don't think some of them are addressing the points (it might be because I'm tired). Now, I'm just talking about the necessity of the content of child killing, not the actual rating and stuff. Your smoking analogy does not hold w...

Re: Fallout 3

This child killing argument is like how Marvel doesn't have smoking in their comics. Really, do I need to see a person smoking to read their comics? Do my enjoyment derive from them smoking or anyway minimised due to lack of smoking content? Nope.

Re: Fallout 3

Um, let me get this straight. You want some child-killing content and quests that were not originally planned for the game? You want an option to kill said child if he/she pisses you off? All of the content you listed were not originally planned for the game and you want something like that in it? W...

Was they killed with melee? Because it looks like it. Or if they were shot from the waist down.

If I'm right I should work in forensics.

I just wasn't sure what you were implying, sorry for misunderstanding.

Well, he took a picture with his camera or something. I didn't know you could grab bodies though, wasn't in the manual, I don't think. But it's quite amazing how you didn't get any blood on them and how their body parts are still retained.

Re: Movies of ´09

Actually, from what I've heard, the ending was changed because the screening test audiences did not get it. Basically the 'average' people who don't read comics. So is it Snyder's fault or the American audience's fault?

Re: Superhero comics and other comics.

The only problem is that it felt like it was only the midpoint of a larger story for the character (52 would be the starting point, I'd guess). That's probably what it was intended for, methinks. I think it was supposed to be continued for Countdown (since it was released at around the same time, a...

Re: Superhero comics and other comics.

I shouldn't have said that Secret Invasion was good, I should've said it was enjoyable. I agree with you on the lack explanation of certain things. Richards' gun that turns Skrulls back into Skrulls was totally a cop out and a terrible plot device. I was just thinking, why don't Richards make a gun...

Re: Currently Watching?

I got into Macross again from Robot Wars (the game). So I watched Macross Frontier. The action was pretty good, the music is pretty good if you like that sort of thing (J-pop crap, not really my cup of tea but I quite liked the use of them in the anime). Overall it's an entertaining ride. But I have...

The story could've been told in like 4 issues. On a side note, I just love Leinil Yu's artwork. Actually, it could have been done in two double sized issues. I kid. But yeah, strip out the action and it could have been compressed quite a lot. Barring any logic and plotholes, it's an entertaining ri...

Re: Superhero comics and other comics.

If DC were Marvel, the Sinestro Corps War would've been an 8 month event, followed by a huge seven month Thy Kingdom Come, followed by a huge six month RIP, followed by a huge 9 month New Krypton all with dozens of tie-ins that have zero to no impact on the main storyline. DC could have a huge even...

Marvel's events are just there for the sake of being events and having a gazillion tie-ins. And people buy that because they reckon it plays an importance in the Marvel Universe.

What I liked about Morrison writing Batman was that he was different. But that's about it. I really...didn't think much of RIP overall. Really, I couldn't. There was a lot of emphasis on black and red, which at the end, to me, amounted to nothing. The final issue of RIP tells us that Bruce Wayne has...

Secret Invasion is a very entertaining ride, but ultimately amounted to nothing really. Was a good plan for an invasion? I don't think so, because it really only lasted about a day or so. A carefully hatched plan? Really, was it? Making the heroes paranoid, instead of stealth killing them Electra st...
