Having monk skills enhanced by fast casting is a nice build, especially with healing. Of course, your character is purely a support build, although I really like Empathy, Clumsiness, and some of the other Mesmer spells. They can really mess with people. If you failed to get to any of the...

I am a Monk/Warrior. I originally started out with several ranks in swordplay, but as I’ve approached the endgame (I just cleared dragon’s lair) I have recognized that my armor doesn’t fare as well on the front lines anymore, so I have altered my build somewhat My current configuration: Mo/W...

I played the demo at GameStop. Great graphics, interesting storyline, but I don't know if I'll get it or not.

If you e-mail Wyldcard, I'm sure he'd be more than happy to answer your question.

There is someone over at ccgr.org working on the review. I did get a chance to play a friend's copy of the game for a short while this weekend. It's sort of a wierd cross between Namco's Tales of Symphonia, Square-Enix's Final Fantasy X, and Star Trek. My friend says it is an engaging game -...

No disputes there. To me, it depends on their rationale, but probably.

Likewise, the developers have tossed out religiously-charged words like "hell" (or "Hell," depending on where you read it) and "demons," rather than more scientific jargon. That in itself is also fact. And you're right... there isn't much more to say.

If there is any point - and the question itself wasn't intended to be rhetorical - I suppose it would be that the games never seem to come clean with the exact origins of the foes in them.  After looking through a few walkthroughs, and talking to a few people, it is clear that the games are...

Is there an in-game reference, either through the protagonist's e-mails, or on the datapads, that the enemies are part of a lost Martian civilization? Or perhaps some suggestion that the scientists on the station were trying to tap some sort of ancient civilization?

I've played through the original Doom, and the first part - but not all - of Doom 3.  Is there anything during the course of Doom 3 that suggests the creatures in the game are aliens?  Spoilers welcome, of course.

This isn't a personal issue for me, just so you know. Like I said in my post, if there is an id press release or interview out there that elucidates what's going on in the developer's minds and it differs from what I think, that's cool.

To be fair, I don't... the developers are (perhaps purposefully) vague when it comes to elaborating on Doom's storyline.  This means one of two things.  Either a) the game uses an intentionally complex mythology and storyline that is meant to be elusive to Western gamers or b) the game uses a...

If I read your posts right, you are saying that 1) the Doom series has implied references to Christianity and 2) that the Doom series has nothing to do with Christianity. To say "the game has NOTHING to do with Christianity" is a bit of an overstatement I don't even think the developers would...

It is reasonable to assume that the developers drew from the Judeo-Christian notions of demons and hell in developing the game. They did, after all, grow up in Western culture just like most of us did. That's not to say that the game is meant as either an affront to Christianity or an...

As I recall, someone on CCGR is in the process of doing a review. Stay tuned.

KOTOR is a pretty clean game.  I did not find the game nearly as offensive as that site made it out to be.  As was said above, following the dark side can lead to more issues than the light side, but on the whole the game steers clear of anything vulgar.  I would venture to say it is very...

With all the discussion surrounding Id's new game, I thought it would be interesting to find out what people think about the moral content of the game.  This is a complex issue and I'd like to hear what others think about it.

Hypocrisy in the review? Elaborate if you could.

It's unfortunate, because it's obvious Dan put a lot of time and thought into his review... it probably just came off as being too polemic, especially at the very end. And, to be fair, it's not just Dan's review that has been met like this. With all the hype surrounding Doom III, a lot of other...

It depends on the basis for the rating. At the risk of echoing what I said in a CCGR poll, sexuality (i.e. Vice City) bothers me more than violence and gore (i.e. Metal Gear Solid series).
