  1. I took about 7 hours too, there are some incentives, you can start over with all your powers and upgrades, which is actually fun, as you can fully upgrade, there are lots of unlockable extras with hidden cheats that give you different outfits (you can play as Darth Maul for example), you can find lightsaber hilts and crystals, etc... And there's obviously the duel mode, which should add some replayability. Havent' tried it yet though. Let's be fair here, we're always comparing games' lengths with RPGs, 5-7 hours in an action game isn't all that uncommon.
    You can even play as Admiral Ackbar... ITSA TRAP! :heh:

  2. Wall-E

    Finally got round to watching it. T'was bloody brilliant, and I almost cried in some scenes (fuck, what's happening to me?!). George Lucas and Lucasfilm Animation should take one look at this film, and feel utterly shamed of themselves for creating that travesity "The Clone Wars".

     

    9.7/10


  3. I love how people are surprised by the new star wars number being shit. I mean, what exactly did you expect? It's a franchise that's been in freefall since it was relaunched by the prequels and The Clone Wars was clearly going to be the worst yet. Purely a kids film without the subtlety of, say, Pixar; a launch platform for a morning tv series of all things and yet adult fans still attended in droves and were shocked by the thing? you're all fools!
    I only went to see it due to partial obligation by my -shudder- older brother, since seeing it was really the only way I have a chance of seeing The Dark Knight in English (since I have to travel to another part of my province to do so)...

     

    Basically, if I had the choice, I wouldn't have gone to see this movie even if I was payed to do so.


  4. Star Wars: The Clone Wars

    Oh...My...Fucking...God...?! What have they done to Star Wars? WHAT IN GOD'S NAME HAVE THEY DONE TO IT?! Okay, the prequels weren't exactly wonderful, BUT FOR FUCKS SAKE, THIS IS JUST LIKE HAVING SHIT RUBBED INTO YOUR EYES!

     

    At first, I had a bit of hope. After the god-awful voice-over intro, it showed a bit of hope. The animation was quite unique, the action was well done, and the score wasn't too bad. Then, everything went to pot. The battle droids suddenly gained the personality of a mentally challenged child, frequently making mistakes not even the most idiotic human being could do, annoying characters appearing (for example, the female jedi apprentice, Ahsoka, Stinky -shudder- and that fucking transvestite Jabba the Hutt thing), an bad storyline (rescuing Jabba's son from kidnappers to gain access to their trade routes, WTF?!) an increasingly bad music score, extremely inconsistent animation (one minute, everything was extremely detailed, the next, it looked like it was rendered on a fucking N64. Also, other problems include often extremely undetailed scenarios, backgrounds that look like that they were compressed as a GIF file, and Count Dooku's beard. Seriously. You could almost count the pixels on it.) and strange inconsistencies in the plot (how did Anakin know instantly that it was Ventrise who was using the force to control the clone trooper?! It could have been anyone for all he knew), an incredibly annoying script, and blablabla. I could go on for a while, but I really cannot be arsed.

     

    The positive of this film? Well, the dogfight scenes looks quite good, and there were a few moments where the animation looked good, but they were few and far between.

     

    I would have forgiven most of the mistakes if it was 3 episodes instead of 1 long film being broadcast onto my TV screen on a Saturday morning, or even as a TV movie, but no, I payed fucking money to see this, and my god what a waste of money it was.

     

    One last thing. FUCK YOU GEORGE LUCAS! FUCK... YOU! Seriously, there's no-way in hell that I'm ever paying to see another Star Wars film in the cinema after this. No... Fucking... WAY! From now-on, I'll be sticking to the original trilogy, a few books/comics and perhaps the occasional decent Star Wars video game, but when it comes to cinema... FUCK NO!

     

    Guys and girls, do not waste your money on this film, in fact, don't even download it, don't waste the fucking bandwidth and precious space on your HDD to download it. It really is not worth it.

     

    3/10 (3 points for being good for the first 5 minutes and the few half decent dogfights)


  5. Been using for a day so far, and I'm liking it a lot. However, there's a few things I'd like to see changed in it.

     

    1) Being able to click the middle mouse button to scroll.

    2) To be able to delete most visited sites on tabs (especially when you look at lotsa pr0nz)

    3) Better download manager. I started to download something from Rapidshare, I closed that window... And I lost the download too!


  6. so...

    Recharging health (now adopted by...oh, everyone!)

    seamless vehicle/ on foot combat

    limited, tactical weapon selection

    massive leap forward in AI

    perfection of the console fps control method

    revolutionary level design

    Co-OP campaign

     

     

    yeah, those were totally lame features, right? Nobody pays any attention to that stuff...

     

    :blank:

    Although I can't contradict you on all of those due to my somewhat limited knowledge of FPSes, I can confirm you're wrong on various things.

     

    1) Starsiege: Tribes did seamless vehicle/on foot coombat back in 1998.

    2) It was Goldeneye and Perfect Dark that perfected FPS controls on a console, not Halo. Infact, I feel that Halo brought them down a notch if anything (fucking dual-stick controls).

    3) Revolutionary level design? You obviously forgot about the highly criticised library level, amirite?

    4) Perfect Dark on the N64 had a co-op campain, if I'm not mistaken.

     

    I'm sure some people can confirm that the other claims you made are errorneous, though.
