I say Jade Empire is their best game from a writing stand point.

What have you actually played? Because those games are hardly peerless examples of story in video games.

Well, 1 isn't.

Do you know what Mass Effect 2 is that Kotor 2 isn't?

Finished. 😉

Gravity sucked. There was NOTHING going on the entire movie. What a POS. Interstellar was phenomenal.

Kotor 2 more than makes up for it's shortcomings by being far superior to ME2 in other ways.

KotOR 2 was god awful.

That applies soo much to my younger self, I used just skip the dialogue and get to the action it wasn't till i was thirteen that i started to listen to the story - especially to Kotor2

The dialogue was great, don't get me wrong.
The action? The planets? The excitement? Not there.

Like having such memorable characters as the Disciple and redheaded bountry hunter.

No, it was basically Gravity but GOOD. I was pretty mesmerized. Gravity sucked. This did not.

My superior opinion is that Interstellar was a huge disappointment. I have rarely felt so completely detached from the goings-on of a film, and Christopher Nolan's grasp of what constitutes a sensible auditory experience might be completely beyond salvaging. Gravity was *ahem* light-years better in every respect, although it annoys me that so many people feel the need to compare such superficially similar films. I saw them both IMAX, too, and the IMAX 3D for Gravity > highly meh quality of Interstellar.

Wait, like what?

Did you finish Rendezvous yet?

No.

Writing, story, villains, themes, other things.

Hey, Mira was cool. And ME2 can't rag on a game having forgettable characters when it has Jason.

What exactly made Gravity better? It was nothing... The whole movie..Nothing. I give it its due for the transcendent cinematography but that is about all. Where did interstellar disappoint? I felt a few parts were a little rushed but nobody is comparing this film to The Godfather. I thought it was phenomenal cinematography mixed with a GREAT story. Gravity failed to convey even that.

Also, December 17th can't come fast enough.

Me2 was great. Probably the game of its generation IMO.

You've obviously never heard a grown man shout racial slurs and things about your mother while boasting that he could beat you one on one and then hear the troll rage and call me a hacker, tends to happen a lot and hearing trolls rage without me saying anything, well, that's a bonus.

I played CoD for like 4 years strait, was even in one of the best clans of MW2. I know of the horrors.
