That's one of the things that annoyed me about the movie. I mean, actually getting to watch real live dinosaurs would be awesome. I mean, for many people, merely fishing and hunting are almost like religious experiences. It's the same reason why people risk getting eaten by crocodiles for the chance to photograph lions, while sailors love the sea, and why everyone likes nature documentaries.

So science brings back some of the most magnificent creatures ever, we get a chance to marvel and awe at them, and to study and to learn from them, and then the movie has to say "DAMN YOU, SCIENCE!" and make the whole "message" of the movie that we should just leave **** alone.

Jurassic Park had a horrible anti-science angle going on. Which was made even more frustrating by the fact that every single thing that went wrong in the movie was solely due to John Hammond's piss-poor management.

Hey, I'm sure that the San Diego Zoo would result in death, disaster, and people getting eaten if it were run by Forrest Gump. But if that were to happen, that wouldn't exactly mean that there's anything wrong with zoos.

MrGeezer

It was anti-genetics, for sure.

But if you go back and look at it, the park and dinosaurs were fine. In the end it was human greed and human error that caused the problems, not the science behind it.

I believe he actually states something to this effect towards the end as well, that he was going to try again, but this time not put so much faith in electronics and automated systems. Probably wouldn't have helped anyway since there's always that one greedy guy who will eventually ruin everything.

Besides, without the whole dinosaurs running amok angle, how interesting would the movie have actually been? :P

I love MMO games. But I don't really play them anymore. Last one was WoW. But yeah I know the feeling. But I mean they won't ever truly balance classes in MMO games. When they nerf one, they have to nerf another. IMO Hunters are one of the most overpowered classes in WoW. My Hunter and my pet were like a well tuned killing machine. I could easily devour people my lvl and higher. But then you play a priest or a warrior and you feel like such underpowered classes. Then you have to play in groups to benefit.

I understand you gripe, but what fun is a MMO game if everythign in the world is equal? I think it would totally offset the economy and kind of defeat the purpose of classes in general. Every classes has strengths and weakesses. Thats just the way it works and the way it always will be.

This is actually pretty funny as well, because when WoW was in beta and just after launch, Hunters and Warlocks were a free kill for any other class in the game. I used to slaughter them on my very first character, which was a Ret Paladin. Back then Rogues were the top dogs, and they were for a pretty long time even after launch. If they got the drop on you, it was game over.

Now it's completely opposite, Ret Paladins are the free kill and Hunters/Warlocks are sometimes unstoppable.

Get over it?

You're upset because of all the coverage the memorials are getting aren't you?

Honestly, some of you make me sick. You don't have to be mourning the event, but you don't need to be so stuck up to think everyone should "just get over it."

harashawn

Trust me, if it happened in any other country you wouldn't be saying that.

If one of your family members (or a few of them) were killed in the attack, would you still be saying what you're saying?

In your opinion, who was the most evil man (or woman) in history?

Black_Knight_00

Definitely a toss up between Stalin and Mao. For sheer brutalness, definitely Stalin.

Most people would say someone like Adolf Hitler but Stalin and Mao were much, much worse. Mao could plead (possibly feigned) ignorance for some of the deaths he caused, but Stalin? Not so much.

If anyone doesn't know, this is a monkey.

Sexy_Pirate

That's a Chimpanzee, not a monkey ;)

Thats like trying to say that Call of Duty is a copy of Medal of Honour.

I wouldn't say that this particular comparison is totally off...

artur79

The word comparison is very apt here. "Clone" is a strong word when you're talking about games like these. A clone is something that is exactly the same. There is a wealth of difference between GTA and Mafia. They might be similar from a game style perspective, but they're definitely not clones.

Sounds like it will be a good game from what i've been hearing.

I loved X3, the difficulty and learning curve were a bit off the chain though. I actually prefered the trading aspect of it to the combat, I think they did it extremely well. X3 + Bonus Pack + Xtended was epic. I used to love firing up the rapid response scripts and watching the huge battles in the sectors close to pirate alley and Xenon areas. Definitely one of the greatest, if not the greatest space sim ever.

Glad to hear they are streamlining Terran Conflict and adding fleet options. One of my main gripes was how it was very difficult to manage your fleet and empire as you got more and more ships/facts.

There will always be a few things that just aren't feasable like ground missions, internal stations etc but no other current gen/next gen space sim has even come close to touching X3.

Age og conan

Lotro (i only hate it because it didn't feel like Tolkien)

kieranb2000

Really?
I thought that an MMO would feel exactly like a Tolkien book. Drawn out, boring and time consuming.

Books are supposed to be time consuming, you can't really use that as an insult :P Besides, most fantasy read like that back when it was written.

As for the boring part, that's in the eye of the beholder. That's the wonderful thing about books, nobody has to agree on what is boring or crap, because it all comes down to preference and personal opinion.

Back on topic - I would say Age of Conan as well, for the simple fact that it was a completely broken shell of a game.

My spelling is just fine, and I did not know you could use microsoft OS's on a mac so I am sorry for saying that but anyway vista is only for people who have the money to buy a good computer if you have little more then 1gb of ram you best stick with xp.yrh2009

Ignorance is no excuse for calling someone a retard Especially when your facts are incorrect.

I don't really care about the art director's excuses or any fanboy's defense. I look at the game's screenshots, and the first thing that comes to mind is "World of Warcraft". GodLovesDead

And that's why he's the art director and you're not.

Anyone who doesn't jump on the hate bandwagon is automatically a fanboy. If you hate the graphics and colours, don't play it. Simple. Your loss though.
