Now that i think about it, capelli wud awsum vs Hale but wudnt b better if u create someone new? like a create-a-character. hav him b 1 of the SRPA dudes and hav 3 other frends who also created characters b in ur squad. it wud b like any other resistance game except the create-a-character, no Hale, and a strong emphasis on co op

nahhh… they did a really good job of establishing back story and depth to the character personalities… I'd rather they have you play as someone who is fully integrated in the game world, so it has more meaning when they react to different situations and events.  Capelli seems like a great choice, since it pretty much left off with him.  They could do something really cool too where you play as Hale fighting the humans, although he was so rediculously powerful at the end there, it might not work too well.

So it looks like its just me and you anticipating this game?  I think it looks awesome.  My best friend in my home town just bought a PS3, I'm really hoping I can convince him to get this, since we used to play Diablo, Diablo II, and StarCraft together all the time.  If I can get him in on it, we'd at least have a decent 3 person team going right there… I still haven't decided exactly what I class I want to be, I'll probably try them all out a little bit before going official on one.

FAL=Marksmen from Resistance 2

am i right?

basically, or the battle rifle from halo… or the one assault rifle in cod (once you get a scope for it)… 3 round burst fire.  effective at medium to long range, not too great at close range.  too bad we can't fire out that electric ball thing that was in R2

@Astroduck – its not really a one sided thread.  I have nothing against anyone who smokes weed,,, really this thread started as why cigs suck and people shouldnt suck them…. but I made a comparison about the legality of it to weed and alcohol, since generally they go hand in hand for a lot of people.  I also stated the reasons for weed being illegal, which I think is total bunk.  I have nothing against stoners, and in fact I prefer them to drunkards, since usually they're chill happy people rather then angry nonsensical slobs.  I used to be an active member of NORML, and have done my research .  I am of the view that legalization would provide a huge number of benifits to our country (just look at Canada, where its the #2 GNP, only topped by oil).  Letsee… if we tax it, we make a ton of money (like cigs! hah!).  We could let a ton of people out of jail who aren't really criminals, and stop paying tax money for them to be there (~$40,000 – 50,000 a year in the US).  We cut out a huge profit market for gangs and other violent groups.  We have a medicine to help cancer patients and other people in extreme pain.  While I support the legalization, it does not mean I use it, or encourage anyone else to use it, but I certainly won't frown upon anyone who does.  I do think its a smart choice to stay away from it, clear minded, on the right side of the law.  I am very against ciggerettes, as they serve no purpose other than to line peoples pockets with money or lungs with tar, depending on your end of the deal.  They flood our hospitals with patients that shouldn't have to be there, and its a huge detriment to our health care system.  Also : “People who smoke for peer pressure are doing it to be accepted by a group of their peers so they can feel a part of the pack.” – thats called trying to be cool.  dude.  Being cool is essentially the equivalent of being accepted by your peers, plain and simple. WAAAAAAAAAVE.

@Miiiiitch –  There is absolutely ZERO proof that THC causes any mental damage.  As Astroduck was saying, and I as I said earlier, there is tons of propaganda out there.  Much of it will present false truths, cleverly worded to bring you to a conclusion that is untrue.  There is one study I read where they hooked some monkeys up to a gas mask feeding them tons and tons of constant weed smoke.  They suffered brain damage.  It was very easy to the researchers to conclude there was a correlation between these things.  Its also just as easy to point out that the lack of oxygen they suffered would cause the same amount of brain damage seen… so… theres really nothing conclusive about that.  In fact, there are studies that have shown it may protect against brain damage caused by alcohol.  Really the point is, there is no CONCLUSIVE evidence.  I am sorry to hear about your friend… unfortunately its common for people with anxiety or other psychological issues to turn to drugs, whether prescribed or not, and this usually just messes the mind up more. 

@W4R – you could have posted that on any forum and it turns into a hot topic… I'm pretty sure this is a debate that started a few hundred years ago and has never been settled.

Responsibility!  Thats the key!

now I've started getting them from people not even on my friends list.  I really chewed out the one guy for being a fricking moron…

I think its interesting how they made such a big deal about 3.00 having dynamic theme abilities, yet the PSstore only has 4 themes available in the US.  3 of which are for PSN games that don't really make me wanna spend money on a theme for, and the 4th being the LBP theme.  What if some of these companies started including a theme for their game when you buy the game?  That could be cool.
