Yeah, you need to slow down. 37 posts in two days?

Boats: Probably not. Lugaru is an island. At best there will be a raft you can use to go down a river or something, but maybe not.

MIKE, next to the Quote button there is an Edit button. Use it instead of double posting.


How about... a new blocking system? Like, hold down the button to simply block an attack, and maybe stagger back or not block at all if it's powerful enough... but if you hold a directional arrow in the way you think the attack will land you can counter it - if you guessed wrong, you don't counter and they hit you.

(Also, if the block button were something besides crouch, that'd be nice. :D)

Also, will you be having the need to go all toiletty in the bushes? You know... It sickens me how heroes NEVER go to the toilet. I mean.. Where do all the waste go? :|

No, I'm not serious.

In Battlefield 2419 (or whatever it's called), you can go to the bathroom.

It sickens ME that in a game about space ship battles and laser rifles, the developers try to make a game realistic by making your character have to eat things and go take a piss in the bushes. I want to play "Star Wars Battlefront", not "Take out the Trash: The Game". :P

Almost as annoying as stupid games about doing absolutely nothing, i.e. Animal Crossing. What is it people see in these games where all you do is perform menial tasks?

As you can in Duke Nukem 3D and 64; if I remember correctly, you could get +20 health for it 8)

Although, on almost every level, that game sucked, it was some of the best fun I've had in a while. It's really confusing.


I'm eating too many pickles. -puts down jar-

hey wait, I'm stuck on the bathroom phase. Can you really?

Oh! As a side note, there will be no lasers in Battlefield 2142, they said that in the interview that lasers aren't very fun. Oh, and the titans were made as docking stations for civilian evacuation and supplies, I don't think they go to outer space.
OH! Unless you're talking about Starwars. No bathrooms or trash duty have been mentioned in that game though.

I haven't seen this mentioned yet, so how about differentiating between death and unconsciousness? Too often I find myself up against a group of raiders, and at some point get a good hit in and knock one out. But instead of helping, his companions just run around (and over) his prone form.
