I vote for Minsc (and Boo!).

Mirror's Edge. In a way it does count; the game is all about parkour.

Why I thought Xenoblade was good but not epic:

It had a big open world and the quest felt very mmorpg-ish. Kill X and Y, pick up blue orbs to gain ingredients.

It felt like playing a single player MMORPG. The world felt stale, lifeless...

Given that I'm the only that felt like that, I'm guessing Xenoblade 2 will keep this kind of world.

I've said it another thread but it feels a bit weak on content so far? Are there gonna be other weapons? Customizations? Leveling up? Many maps? Maybe other goals? More teams?

So far it appears to be quite simple? 4 vs 4, few maps, all with the same weapons. It could get boring real quick.

Edit: Didn't watch video, 33 minutes of gameplay? no thx

1) As I said in my first/second post: That's a common argument in threads like these, not necessarily in this thread though.

2) I did say I can't prove anything which was never my intent either. You said yourself: the best _available_ explanation. Why are we even bloody researching the damn thing if we apparently already know the truth about everything, if the puzzle is already solved? Why can't we reproduce Big Bang then already? Why did it even happen in the first place? How can we say we know for sure how it all happened exactly if we don't know all about it yet then? I am not trying to dismiss the proof we already got but rather saying that the proof we have so far is hardly enough for us to have covered the area to 100%. If we just pretend we're at around 30% then that means there is 70% of unknown possible groundbreaking discoveries that could possibly bust up theories or possibly enlighten us. Feels like we're far from the goal line but we're already celebrating?

3) I've never stated I believe in God. I said I don't like that the idea of an infinitely large explosion that came from absolutely nothing and created everything is considered an absolute fact when we don't even have it all figured out yet. I believe that it could very well be the case but it could also be something else. In other words, sounds just as weird to believe in an explosion that just "popped up" and created everything as believing the universe just popped up from God's imagination.

Edit: To end this; let's just agree to disagree and accept my crazy belief of not considering something that is far from set in stone as the absolute unquestionable truth.

Right.

Well it's time to clear some things out:

1) I'm not even sure how we got into this, I've never claimed that Big Bang didn't happen but rather that Big Bang does not prove that there is no higher entity or similar.

2) About my second post...Clearly I am not qualified to disprove the theory but my point was that it's a theory. We're stuck on a planet, observing traces, coming up with laws and calculations, there are lots of "based on this and that" and hypothesises. In my last post about the programming thingy, the point was that I still believe that we can't say for 100% sure how it all exactly happened. We have theories that say "this _should_ happen". We have a theory based on knowledge known to humans, do we humans know exactly everything about the universe? Nope. I can't name specific examples but I feel pretty certain there are have been situations in the past where theories and laws that have been accepted as the truth that later have been disproved. We're a tiny planet and meddling with forces that are infinitely big and infinitely far away. How can we possibly claim to know the exact truth about universe?

Give me the Big Bang for Dummies; what evidence is there of Big Bang then?

Even if there is evidence of there being an explosion, there are a lot of other questions. And I've seen quite a few who believe in Big Bang that seem to like to use the big bang to prove there is no higher entity which doesn't make much sense... (not necessarily in this thread)

And the evidence all these educated minds have? Waves here and there, traces and laws, created in a half tiny-tiny-second^29479. There's a lot of things ya but how can we know for sure? I'll be happy we got slightly more proof that "We've got a wave and according to this law, made up by humans, this means Something". I'll be happy when we've recreated it properly. It just reminds me of programming; you can program an application all you want but you can't know for sure how it will work until you've tried using the application. Furthermore, if I allow a user to put a number into a field, it will be all good. Except for when the number gets above 1037837, then I'll log him off and smack him up with a window saying "wot u doing m8?". The user will think he's free to input any number, he could go up as far as 1037836 but until he tries to go above 1037837 he'll never know.

In other words, all they got are traces and applying man-made laws to it, but how can we know this law are true for all scenarios?

Because on page 1, people are clearly discussing religion and big bang.

Never liked to discuss this kind of thing. No one ever agrees with my belief:

Generally...
One side believes a bearded man snapped his finger.
The other side isn't much better and believes that an explosion created this complex universe. Scientists are at a level where they're getting braingasms from pictures of sand from another planet but yet you believe how the universe was created? Ya ok.

Personally I believe that it could be anything; aliens created us to kill off planets, the story from the Lifter's guide, strategy game of the gods, big bang even, whatever. It's impossible to know, which is why I think that people who laugh at religion while firmly believe an explosion did all this aren't any better. I do however believe in evolution though but how does us being apes a long time ago prove there is no higher entity...?

So in conclusion I think humans believe they know everything but we really don't know crap so it's kinda wrong to act like these theories like Big Bang are proven facts.
