Tale

I don't know what to play next! Just finished Witcher 2. Still waiting for PSN store before I really hit LA Noire. I could do Gray Matter or 999, but I think I'll do one of my GoG Games. Gabriel Knight should be a good choice.

Vaccination implies a vaccine has been developed. We haven't even created a vaccination for all the diseases we have, why would you expect them to? Or the resources and willingness to apply it. Vizima only seemed to have two mages, period. One was a politician, the other a genocidal madman. Which one do you think would be a capable medical researcher? Might it be the one who secretly went on about how the plague was "going exactly according to plan MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA." They certainly have magical vaccination available for some diseases. W-HAT I got cover before I ever used intimidation. I had no idea how I got it. Anyway, just finished it. Loved it. Want to do another playthrough, but will let the memory of up through Act 1 fade first.

4 years, not 6 1/2, my bad.

Remember when Microsoft expected people to upgrade to Vista and start paying for online just to play an already outdated Halo 2 PC? And then when that flopped, they abandoned PC game publishing for 4 years. That was fun.

What's wrong with brothels? We still have brothels today. I don't think I've seen anyone in the Witcher espousing bleedings. At least nobody with an education. They simply managed to achieve scientific insights with magic prior to industrialization.

An updated biological understanding is intrinsic to The Witcher. Geralt himself is genetically modified. I find it less jarring than those settings that have highly advanced magics and education systems, but still refuse to advance their knowledge base. Any time mages organize into schools, they should make some pretty significant progress in the sciences.

I'm not entirely sure. I think that they did a pretty poor PC version considering the console ones aren't even announced yet. The UI is simply indefensible. Auto-scrolling, ugh.

LA Noir looks nowhere near as good as The Witcher 2. Maybe The Witcher 1.

I'LL CHILL YOUR FACE

They never managed it for The Witcher 1 because there were disputes with the French company they had doing the port. CD Projekt claimed they weren't meeting standards and stopped paying them.

I was being sarcastic. People see sex in EVERYTHING. Even if dark elves being linked to bondage sex wasn't blatant in media, people would still see it. It goes without saying at this point. Like airline peanuts and "hey, why do games get rated worse for sex than violence? Talk about double standards, LOL."

Yes, you are the only one to think that.

Die in a fire or something. 4 is one of the only times I will ever refer to a game as "self-indulgent." It's one of those words that seems absolutely meaningless to apply to this kind of context, but there's literally nothing else to describe it. Metal Gear Solid 4 spent as much time in cutscenes as gameplay. If not more. And never gave you enough of any particular gameplay segment to appreciate it.

I don't consider that win-win. 4 was ugh, though Peace Walker was good.

So, they're announcing two games at E3? http://www.pcgamer.com/2011/05/24/witcher-...ect-at-e3-2011/ Or are some wires getting crossed?

Axii failed for me on the soldiers that wanted to butcher civilians in La Vallette village. Really? Must be random, worked on both groups of soldiers there for me.

I haven't failed. Does Persuasion provide a new bonus? Axii ended up getting me Conjurer, which gave a bonus to Sign damage.

This one's real valuable to the Mass Effect crowd.

I'll need proof that's alcohol. The long form.

During that scene, you lose the starting silver sword. You're given a quest to get a new one. If you already have another from an import, it auto-completes.

I did some post-rapture looting. Stole some radios from cars mysteriously abandoned on the highway. There weren't many. Picked up a nice pair of sneaker just lying on the sidewalk with clothes (I left the clothes, not my size).

The little I played it so far, I actually thought it too open world. The driving seemed gratuitous.

Alex Summers. Cyclops brother. Edit: (I haven't seen the trailer but it sounds like him) My understanding is that they turned him into Cyclops' father for the movie. If true, given how the comics like to imitate the movies, expect Havok to travel back in time and sleep with their mother.

He's working on that Pretty Princess RPG we've all been hoping for.

Do you have avatars turned off or something?
