Mamoulian War

What is the weather down there in november? I have to spent two weeks of vacation before the end of the year, and I rather spent it somewhere warm

eew, just the thinking about PE being available on Origin exclusively published by EA made me to throw up... And Day 1 DLC... It is no content, its a customer ripoff... I rather wait 6 months for a proper content with which you spent 40+hours for double price of the DLC... If EA would be behind this kickstarter I doubt the game would raise more than 100k... I know I would rather quit gaming than to pay EA single dollar again... Glad you are not being serious... but still I am feeling so much dirty, just thinking about that...

The only reason to make games like CoD is that rehashing same **** for the 7th time is cheap as **** and stupid sheep are willing to buy even big steaming pile of turd if it is marketed properly RPGs sell like hotcakes when marketed properly as well... Look at FFXIII and DA2 as an example... both not topnotch quality games, but with awesome marketing and they sold a lot of copies... Market wants these games, but they are little bit more difficult to make, so they prefer to make BF25 instead of KoToR3

Because it is a limited audience. Seriously, we have 2 billion FPS games a year because that is what the market dictates. Its not what market dictates, its what EA and Activision dictates tens of millions of pledges on various kickstarters this year shows pretty much what market really wants...

it is the same, why not to experiment with exploring new possibilities and stuck to the old "safe" routine...

You know that EULAs are in some countries not legally enforceable?

You know, that kind of thinking is the reason we have 2 billion FPSs each year and almost no Space Sim in 10 years produced...

developing the game should be priority number one SUCH BLASPHEMY!!!

here you go http://arstechnica.c...malicious-code/

I am missing third option in the poll, I would like an expansion where you continue after you finish the main game, and you get new stuff for another playthrough as well. Like new Class, new Race, new Companion etc... The best example of this is the Mask of the Betrayer expansion...

I agree on 100%. My english is not good so I quite need localization too. Or you could learn english better from playing the game, like I did from Planescape:Torment and Baldurs Gate 2 These two games accomplished thing, which no teacher was able to do before

Actually Steam is steaming pile of ****

Sounds like PR stunt to me... to get more people to use Origin...

Heh, my game of Star Ocean froze 2 fights after I got the Battle Trophy, I almost raged O.o Had to spent 2 more tries to get the trophy again. 1 try = 2.5 - 4 hours of playing without saving the progress O.o In the last attempt I got extremely unlucky and got my party almost completely wiped out, was very happy that I had more than enough Ressurection Units, which saved my ass few times. Lymles final blow landed like 5 seconds before the end of the 10 minute limit O.o Aaaand today first part of Pathfinder Adventure Path - Council of Thieves (Bastards of Erebus) arrived, gonna have some fun with my friends over the next few weeks

Waiting until they release it on a DRM free service, not gonna rent the game which I already own

Star Ocean Last Hope International again... Finally was able to kill superboss Ethereal Queen under 10 minutes with Lymle on third try for hardest in-game Battle trophy

Sometimes, I am wondering what kind of crops are you inhaling...

CD-keys can get lost and it's tedious to enter them. Being connected to the internet at installation involves doing absolutely nothing in particular for the vast majority of users, given that it's a digital download to begin with. It hardly gets less intrusive than this. I suppose your fear is that the activation servers might one day go down, in this case Overhaul will of course patch the game to remove the activation, if that hasn't already been done before. Anyone who loses CD key for his most loved games is as stupid as Bioware for loosing their original art... I have all infinity engine games DRM-free, no need to pay for DRM infested stuff, when they patch the DRM out, I will be buying it though. If it will be in 5 years, so be it. Patience is a virtue which I have more than enough...

Yeah I bet Obsidian would be able to fit even Ninja Zombie Cheerleader Pandas into the lore, without raising any questions

Friendly fire in a RPG for me is a must, and I am for possible Critical Fumble or possibility of backfiring spells and weapons as well. If it is not planned to be in the game from the beginning, please consider about providing a checkbox for us for turning it on and off. Thanks

BTW to whoever cares about it Obsidian has already signed for Polish and Russian localizations!!! Hopefully this will draw enough interest from Euro market So spread the word and contribute

Sorry, but you are posting lot of your opinions as a facts here and without any backing to it, I am merely stating my opinions, why I think you might be little bit away from the reality: You have challenged real life Umberlin's experience from Japan, without providing any evidence which supporting your claims as well. My opinions are just my opinions, but I prefer to believe a person from real Japan experience, than a person who thinks is right and is yelling U R WRONG, at every possible opportunity... SSL was invented in 1993 and SSL 2.0 was rolled out publicly in 1995 which is 1 year after the date you have mentioned for the first top 100 in Japan. First online shop appeared in 1994 in Germany. In 1995 was launched Amazon and in 1996 eBay. I would be very very surprised if there was no online shop available in Japan during this time... unfortunately most of the technologically savvy magazines always reported and are still reporting what happens in NA and EU first and lot of time forgets about Japan, China, S.Korea and Taiwan completely... Mostly because they could not be arsed to hire guys who can comprehend their language...

Started last save from Star Ocean 4 after 4 months break from the game, spent few hours in Colosseum and 7 Stars dungeon, had more fun than I thought again, and completed some more Battle Trophies Still not good enough gear for Eternal Queen :/

I wholeheartedly agree. Singapore would be a good place to get a good foothold into the "Asian" market. I currently live in India and having traveled around the globe extensively, Singapore just might be my favorite city/nation on the planet. The gaming scene is very vibrant there. India sadly, would be a poor place to sell anything that isn't a shooter or Dota clone. Singapore was one of my favourite places to visit as well. The best connection of nature and city I have ever seen!

Anecdotes aside, good question. The reason Steam sales aren't listed is because Valve won't release them. The top 100 chart in Japan goes back to 1994. Unless people in Japan were buying their games online for the whole of that time then they can't not be listed for the same reason. If you're suggesting Japanese game stores disclose their console sales but not their PC sales, unlike the rest of the world, I think you're going to have to provide a reason or evidence for this. That is FACT for most of the European Markets, they do not state ANY boxed sales, nor online sales! We do not have in Europe nothing like NPD in the US. As far as I know, the only real numbers from EU you get from UK, and (i do not know that for sure, but I would guess, you are getting numbers from Germany and France)... But I can yell around GIMME SUM EVDNCE KKTXBAI for your statement, that in Japan they are not selling PC games Online more than 20 years... You know, most of the world is technologicaly 10+ years behind... So where is your evidence for that?
