That doesn't really make the controls any less awkward. And it doesn't help when you're trying to change direction either.

Do you actually remember what those hand-drawn backgrounds look like?

Drawn backgrounds may look nice on some games, but they'll never be as powerful as 3D. The only 2D game I've ever seen do something that couldn't be done in 3D is Chrono Cross when Serge is running around in the place that looks like an Escher painting. And I wouldn't exactly want every game to look like that.

That Ninja Gaiden screenshot is really pretty detailed, but it has no personality at all. Beyond Good and Evil has personality, but it has no detail... Is there any 3D game with both? Probably not actually, like Erwin was saying.

I think we need to plan a trip to sweden and teach this 'lady' what a real adventuregame is. There is no excuse in the world good enough! Why, after all these long long years, haven't you played Grim fandango??

It's not that your pc can't handle it, so what is your excuse, emma

Bah! More magic trinkets. Schafer didn't reveal it because in HIS circles it isn't a secret. Gabe 3 was a story BY mortals, FOR mortals. Yaaawwwwnnnn...

Zombies, werewolves, and now sacred dishes. Sounds more like a low-grade B movie. What the... ? This is cult stuff, not true religion.

Yes how can you top time travel, the afterlife, and the ability to completely enter someone's mind?

Its also worth noting that in the games of Schafer, these ideas aren't presented as abnormalities to be investigated, but are instead part of the characters everyday lives. Hint hint?

No excuses Ys, lmao! But I have to say, not getting around to playing it has had it's advantages in entertainment value, lol! Can't believe how many times I've stirred the nest by simply telling peeps I have yet to play that one, LOL!

Here's further proof that God (tim) rocks:

note the left hand making a sign that is commonly acknowledged to be a sign you make when you are 'rocking'

Well, maybe you should have thought about that before spreading your heresies. The inquisition will be arriving at your house in about an hour or so.
