Still playing Saint's Row 2. I love this game. 10/10.

Oh, and anyone who criticizes journalists for giving a game 10/10 and then making their own 10 list, you get 0/10

There is nothing funny about that. 1/10

Except there is really nothing to suggest that. 3/10

Specifically it says "In this post-Mass Effect era, it's disappointing not to hear yourself talk and to have to pick your dialogue options from big blobs of text" so I'm guessing he just prefers the ME system for dialogue rather than having a problem with lots of text. Then again maybe he's a big dummy and would cry at the sight of all Van Burens text before going back to play [insert whatever game you don't like here, preferably one without much text]! Lol!

We all need to be offended by something. It's what powers the internet. The question is does it draw more power from offended Muslims or those offended by Muslims?

Here is the thread posting that supposedly started it all: link Hmmm, well I suppose if responding to a polite request is caving in then Sony caved. I agree with Tigranes, that if it is considered offensive, it's probably for the best for Sony to remove it, and they've done so before some crazy fundamentalists potentially freak out about it. I also agree with Meshugger. If anyone is going to make a big deal about this it'll be folks who want to complain about the big bad Muslims forcing their will on everyone. Or possibly crybaby gamers with a sense of entitlement who can't handle getting a game a week or two late.

So did Sony actually "cave in" to the demands of some group or individual as others here are suggesting?

I just broke up a fight between pirates and ninjas.

Personally I find the BOOOOOOO HISSSSSSSSS worse than the WOOOOAHHHH COOOOL. I can't really fault people for being happy and positive, and even the most obnoxiously happy isn't as bad as someone constantly whining about something they insist they don't care about. Honestly, I think most of the people who claim they aren't interested but keep absorbing every little bit of information that comes out do so because they are looking to justify their initial hatred/annoying/crybabywhininess. "I always said it was going to be Oblivion with Guns and look the animations are just like Oblivion I was right all along take that Bethesda!" Actual criticism is nice, it's just that there is far more whining than actual criticism, which is true of everything I suppose. Stuff like constantly claiming Bethesda is wrong for Fallout or the game is Oblivion with Guns or that the videos look just like a modded Oblivion or every positive preview of the game is just a regurgitation of the press release or personal attacks on Todd Howard and Pete Hines or how it should use a subtitle instead of a number or how it's not a true Fallout game... don't make for interesting criticism.

I am no madam! If I'm going to be cynical (and I am), I'd say people are probably more likely to accept the DRM when they've already bought it and are now waiting for it to install so they can play it.

I have yet to resist buying a game because of complaints about bugs, because like many others I've often had no problem with games that others claim are buggy messes.

I was getting problems just out of warranty and had to send it away to get fixed. It didn't cost too much and was back within the week, so I was pretty happy with that. I wish I could have done that with my out of warranty video cards, as opposed to them becoming junk.

Any workplace. And if they don't they should. And if you're suffering from gunshots wounds I think you're well past first aid kits.

Health kits doesn't have to equal scavenger hunting. Rather than having numerous single kits spread out over the level/mission in all sorts of odd places, have them only in obvious places, areas you'd expect to find first aid kits in real life.

Why? I mean is it because it might be an issue for them, say because they format and reinstall every month or constantly buy new hardware, or are you simply using them as a form or protest? Oh, and what's the extra D you keep using for? Draconian?

The decision that started it all was the decision to buy the rights to Fallout. The hate began when the only information about the game was who was making it. Anyway, when reviews come out the anti-fans will see positive ones as being dishonest, proof that journalists have been paid for by the industry or that they are gullible or simply retards, and they will see negative reviews as being honest and brave. Nothing will change.

Yeah, it's a GTA clone, but while GTA4 went for a more serious tone and got rid of the crazy side missions, SR2 embraced the silliness and added even more awesome side missions. And loads more customisation options for both the player and vehicles. Sandboxy goodness.

Here, have a bunch! http://www.saintsrow.com/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saints_Row_2 http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=259566 http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=199270

Doing a nudie run in Saint's Row 2. Apparently the people of Stillwater don't like this, as I was stabbed several times.

The Dunia engine does look quite nice though, and having just played through Crysis I'm looking forward to seeing how it compares.

I'm sure the minds at Troika would have been capable of creating a game that didn't include sex, drugs, foul language and gore. And if they weren't if would be quite the failure on their part.

No it doesn't, it uses the Dunia engine.

Saint's Row 2. So far just messing about with the character creator.

So new games are forgotten while old games are revered? Apparently not, as it seems folks have forgotten the real old classics, because while games like Baldur's Gate and Fallout are relatively old, they were actually the start of the new wave of a dying genre.
