That’s both frightening and strangely erotic at the same time.

I didn’t know there were so many endings or that the replicants were randomly determined at the beginning of the game. It WAS awesome, though. So awesome.

If I could pitch a new game to an exec to make, I’d try to come up with an adventure game.

I actually don’t mind savepoints, provided they’re often enough. Dead space has them littered everywhere, so I never really felt like I’d been going a long time without one. Contrast that with ME, where I can save any time I want, but I’m never really reminded that it’s a necessity. More than once, I died and had to restart from an autocheckpoint AGES back. The thing I learned by dying is to spam the save feature. I had more than 80 saves by the time I finished the game because sometimes I would save for basically no reason.

I actually miss the save system where you could save in the MIDDLE of a fight (ie., Baldur’s Gate II), and now that I play MMOs, I find the continuous save a nice bonus.

(BTW, I’m with you on HL2.)
