Because I'm a trivia dork I will mention that a great game called Legacy of the Wizard already had the "different characters, different powers" gimmick in a platformer, although with a slightly different implementation, since you had to swap characters to complete the game. It was still a pretty fresh idea though and I think Doki Doki Panic/Mario 2 is a pretty darned good game. It was sort of unlucky for its place in history that the games called Mario 3 and 4 happened to be masterpieces.

I will never hate on SMB2 for what it is, because it certainly beats the hell out of the Japanese version which was basically "SMB1 all over again, except with extra gently caress-you."

I mentioned this in the Dragon Age thread but that Sera character looks like Genesis P Orridge and it's way too similar to be a coincidence.

Red Dragon Inn is a boardgame all about that. It's best when drunk, as it is entirely about getting people fantasy drunk, and the fantasy drinking game rules translate nicely.

Hawke in the previous game could consistently reduce entire crowds to giblets with a single swing. Iron Bull is a poser.

I was completely psyched by the Iron Bull image until I realized it wasn't a developer commenting on their game engine, and was in fact just crappy "badass" RPG writing.

C'mon next gen, you totally have the ability to outdo Soldier of Fortune 2 and Die By the Sword, so just fuckin' do it already!

It fits, because the character designs are just as uninspired and terrible.

Seriously, the woman there is literally wearing boob armor. The only part of her covered by any sort of armor is her rack. The dude isn't much better because he seems to be Generic Viking-esque/Game of Thrones Dude #12, but still.

At least she's wearing pants, so it's already a step up from DA2.

Here's to the new us.
Is David Gaider still the head writer for the DA team? I figure since Mac Walters is still lead writer for Mass Effect, once you reach a certain level of success at Bioware you're basically set for life. regardless of how many gamers think you are literally Hitler.

At first I thought that "cut people into pieces" thing was some dev gushing about like a new dismemberment engine they made but when I realized it was a line of dialogue meant to be placed inside of a game I was like this is what it's all about. This is what I'm here for.

No they said this time would be different, that they were listening to the fans and it was going to be like the game we liked instead of the game we didn't like and that they learned their lesson and and and

Reminder that Casey Hudson literally locked himself in a room with Mac Walters so he could dictate to Mac what the ending to Mass Effect 3 would be. The rest of the writing staff was not consulted or given input.
