  1. What about one that trades it for a spring-loaded auto-evolution gimmick that triggers when you set an included magnetic Matrix into his hands? Because that'd be awesome(albeit terrible for accuracy and transformation)
  2. It's not that you're the only person who doesn't like Jazz, just that you're the only person who hasn't realized he likes Jazz yet.
  3. Sorry, man. I just couldn't resist the temptation. If it makes you feel better, I meant that more as "I am in DuelGundam mode here" rather than "DuelGundam said this". I'm not actually sure if that's better or worse, though. I really did like that movie.
  4. As far as I know, it's just T&A without ever getting into anything overt. So it would be classified as "fanservice" rather than hentai.
  5. *looks* Those are map packs and new guns and a new episode. Not patches. None of the bug fixes are contained in those, though one of the bug fixes was specifically FOR those(the "limited edition" version came with Ripley's flamethrower, and it had an annoying tendency to fire even when you weren't pressing fire in the game as shipped). The bug patches are as free as they always have been. And automatic these days, which blows my crotchety old mind. The first patch included better textures and "various visual improvements" too, and I HAVE seen companies charge for that before. As I said, it would be truly outrageous if companies started charging for bug fixes. Even moreso given the state Aliens LAUNCHED in. THIS remains fully in the realm of parody... for now. That said, wait for the next time it goes on sale. I paid five bucks, so can you. In the meantime... just read the patch notes and laugh at the incompetence. Bullets bouncing off open doors, characters walking through closed doors, and even doors that just didn't "open properly". And this is just THE DOORS. Not that the patch notes are themselves free of glitches. "Resolved issue where campaign Motion Tracker could incorrectly in multiplayer loadouts." That's copy/pasted, lest you think I made a mistake in transcription.
  6. It's been patched enough where it's just sub-par now instead of comedically terrible. If they were selling the fixes to make it half the game it should have launched as, I'd be furious.
  7. Having played PART of the game, there's some GREAT ideas in there. But they're rough ideas that never got a chance to shine amidst all the murk. And then the game gets gimpy with aliens moonwalking down halls or running into corners, and it becomes hilarious instead of tense or frightening. And that's really the worst thing about it. Not that it's a bad game, but that at some point during it's development, someone was genuinely trying to make the best damn Aliens game they could before Gearbox utterly and irrevocably destroyed it.
  8. I bought it on sale because I figured I'd had five bucks worth of fun reading the patch notes. How do you convince yourself a game in that state is shippable unless you're guaranteed sales no matter how awful it is? Which... okay, I can't blamne preorders SOLELY for that, because I knew people that bought FF13 knowing how bad it was. They admitted it was bad and they wouldn't like it, "but it's Final Fantasy so I have to play it."
  9. Nope. It's good for developers that get a great game on store shelves, since they're no longer competing with high-budget crap. Preorders exist only to protect bad games from informed customers. Paying for a game you know nothing about is the height of folly.
  10. Absolutely! I'm still waiting for the 1:1 scale kit.
  11. I don't know if it's been said or not, but Signs was a godawful terrible flick. Because neither godawful nor terrible covers the shee atrocity by itself. I caught it end-of-run at a dollar movie, and thought I overpaid. Shyamalama owes me two hours of my life back.
  12. Ah, thanks for reminding me! It's been a while since I've watched Nanoha. I should sit down with both series and marathon 'em.
  13. Well, we know humanity and zentradi share a LOT of genes, so maybe the blue hair gene is just SUPER recessive! ... Or he grew up in a nuclear waste storage facility.
  14. God, not this again... Aviation rage in 5 seconds.
  15. Franchise is still appropriate as there was a toy line and books and comics and all that other related merch. Certainly, it's not an ANIMATION franchise, but it is still a franchise.
  16. My understanding is little robot combines with the jet to form the big robot Saber, and then Saber combines with the TREAD V-Star to form the bigger robot Big Volfogg Star Saber. As opposed to all three units forming a single robot from the get-go. Which would make more sense. And yeah, then Star Saber puts Victory Leo on to form God Saber EX-Destiny Victory Saber.
