Morgoth

Today I played the Crysis 2 demo and the Killzone 3 demo. Both games look and play alike. So much for the industries creative plurality...

Crysis 2 seems to be a very different game. And why do the weapons take half the screen space? Jesus Crytek....

Okay, finally managed to play a match or two. Looks pretty good for a DX9 game. I didn't see any difference between Advanced and Hardcore graphic setting, so I switched to Advanced. Very good framerate. The gameplay itself feels very clunky though, very console-ish.

So, anybody played the Crysis 2 demo? Because I can't create an account because mycrysis.com always crashes. FFS Crytek, can't you even get the simplest things properly done?

Secret location, eh? What do we, the paying customers, get out of this? It's like an industry within an industry, and I don't like it.

It took me 35 hours to beat Origins ( and no, I didn't rush through it), so when Bio says DA2 is half as long.... Yeah, that will have to wait for a considerable price drop.

Sorry, that's all cutscene and techdemo bull****. I wanna see how the detective work and the UI looks like.

I hope Ferg doesn't give up pressing EA into publishing an Ultima game. I rather see Obsidian doing one than BioWare.

I still haven't seen how LA actually plays.

Woah, I hope that isn't how you look in RL.

Okay, the problem has been solved. I had to disable the Apple Bonjour service. I never asked this crap to get installed in the first place...

Well damn, maybe I should really consider learning French. Not that I'm saying I'll go to Canada onde day, but I have relatives in France now and while we perfectly communicate in English, learning another language is always an advantage.

Do you have to master both English and French in order to migrate into Canada? (even if it's majorly English speaking areas?).

If Feargus the Scottish Warrior will be a class on it's own I promise you I will buy it twice!

Nah, stay in Canada. Canada has a bright future ahead, can't say the same about old Europe.

What "prefered list" are you refering to? I can't just delete it out of the list, I don't even know how it got in in the first place. Edit: I have learned that this issue is linked with Adobe CS3. Uninstalling it however is not an option.

What kind of backward ISP in this day and age still uses bandwidth caps?

Must be tough, playing games you don't like. Are you refering to Half.Life? That's not a military shooter.

Bulletstorm is the result if you don't have any compelling concept or don't put any thought into your game design. It's one of those 90s id Soft shooters style where some amateurs come up with an idea during lunch and just go ahead and implement it. With Epic Games and UE3 backing you you can actually can get away with this. Other developers have to try harder.

When I first fired up the ARMA2 demo I was struck how unfun this whole experience was. Nothing in this game was really polished or well executed, it was just one huge mess of amateur work. But then again I don't like military themed shooters in general.

Currently nothing, but I heard good things about Valkyria Chronicles. Maybe I should download the demo, otoh it's anime...

Why is it XBLA exclusive? Can some developer confirm/deny this?

Exploration?! It's a ****ing corridor. A souped up corridor, but a corridor nonetheless. Exploration to some degree, yes. There were some environmental puzzles to solve, which required you to search and figure out how to advance. Nice change of pacing. Exploration a'la Gothic style certainly not.

There's a PC demo coming out after launch, but people say it's not really reminiscent to Painkiller.
