Wait a minute - the series was cancelled because it didn't appeal to the right demographic? How does that work? Next you're going to tell me that the networks will pull 'Survivor' because it promotes backstabbing. Or the radio stations will stop airing Howard Stern or Dr. Laura because they're...

Maybe it was because Manjana couldn't cope with the excessive warmth and compassion on this board. :)

Ladiesman^: I think that the issue boils down to how important you think the Pilgrim aspect of Blair's character is. If one considers it to be a minor detail then it is plausible that it would never/rarely be mentioned in Blair's future (WC1-WCP). If you think it is a *really* big part of...

Here's a question: Is there anything that the movie could have introduced that you would have a hard time accepting? Something along the lines of a character detail/history like the Pilgrim aspect.

Crusader was truly an awesome game. I never understood why they didn't continue the series. I thought both were comercially successful and game companies usually milk a successful series dry before dumping it.

Excuse me LOAF, not that I doubt you, but how? I tried it several times and even when I sparingly used my missiles it was an exercise in futility. While I didn't take time to count the number of enemies, it seemed like there were more ships to fight than I had missiles. I would only get a bead...

You're talking about the mission after you decided to get drunk (when you learned of Angel's death)? IMO the cutscenes you get upon successfully completing the mission, while enjoyable to watch, should have been cut in favor of the Hobbes Explanation. I tried playing that mission (after...

Here is an exerpt from a WC3/4 FAQ. In my mind it explains why the timeline seems a bit disjointed.

You're saying that he was still experimenting? Personally, I much preferred the Kilrathi of WC3 - they looked much more intimidating/fearsome. Melek in WC4 looked silly - like one of the Muppets.

What I couldn't figure out was why they didn't use the same puppet from WC3 in WC4 - ie Melek? The costume in WC3 looked pretty good actually, while WC4 looked like something right out of The Neverending story!?! Did they give the original away between the games?

And Thank you for that graphic visual.

The Bugs have defeated Earth and are systematically locating and wiping out human colonies. The Midway (or whatever) is charged with escorting refugees wherever they find them to a central location - in effect, a new home system. Alternatively I could see the next WC game having Confed acting...

Thanks, I found it on Gamespot last night.

I was actually a bit disappointed with Maniac in WCP. Wilson's character almost seemed forced - like he was tired of the part.

I too really enjoyed Maestro's clowning. I thought that both he and Casey would make worthy successors to Blair/Maniac should the series continue. Ironically, I enjoyed Hamil's protrayal of the grissled veteran Blair the most. I say ironically because it was (more than likely) his last...

About every other mission, Prophecy will freeze during a mission with the sound repeating over and over. It will take several tries at the mission to get through it without a crash. I am currently on the mission where Dallas dies. This is a hard freeze - the 3 fingered salute does not work which...

I didn't say that I don't try them, only that, in the end, I rarely finish them. Half-Life & Thief were the last games that I wanted to finish just to see how they ended. Compare this to KS/WC3/4/P which I loaded up *again* a couple of months ago and played almost nightly, straight through - and...

They set my standards too high. I compare *every* game I play, from RPG to RTS, to WC3-P. And so far every game since WC3-P has been a disappointment. I have not played any sim games to the end since WC, this is not an exaggeration. None of them (including Freespace, Iwar, & Crimson Skies)...

Mark my words, if Tomb Raider does well, and from the previews I expect it will, we will probably see a rash of game-to-movie conversions as producers try to cash in on a untapped market. IMO, the actress that played Panther in WC4 was the worst.

That's like saying that WC is an old space sim game. Crusader was simply one of the best third person (?) shooter action games I have ever played. It also had FMV cutscenes with some decent actors. Besides WC it is one of the few games that I will load up and replay from time to time.
