Morgoth

700k shipped for a ME wannabe is kinda disappointing. Plus the game was almost 4 years in development so I'm sure Sega lost a lot of money. They won't work with Obsidian again so quickly.

This game looks like one of these that will sell some 350k and be forgotten 1 week after release. Next.

Diablo 3 will destroy my life I know it and there's nothing I can do against it. Am I really that weak?

As much as I liked the game, Blizzard really needs some lecture on story telling, because there were plot holes eveywhere.

Change is what keeps Bioware alive and relevant. It would be suicidal to release the same type of game again with just some better graphics. DA2 > DA1

Just finsihed it. The last mission wasn't as hard as I anticipated it. But then again I only played on Normal. Either way, great game. SC1+BW was better though.

I played 18 missions so far (plus the Protoss mini campaign) and for some reason the story doesn't want to get momentum. The mission design and variety is great though.

How long did it take you to finish the game? What difficulty?

The moon? A planet? Something in space? Dear god please let it be in space....

I'll probably get it on Wednesday. The German version is already avalaible, but I wanna have the UK version.

Agreed. The Fountain was a gorgeous movie. Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weizs acted fabulous. Looking forward to Tree of Life from Terrence Malick.

I only feel something when I beat the end boss. Am I an unfeeling person?

Irrational Games announcing something on August 11th. Click Fingers crossed.

Starcraft 2 did not cost $100 million to make.

North Korea does a lot of barking, but can they also bite?

Source. Interpret that as you wish. Don't remember how much input or say he has over Blizzard, but they're the same company. Kotick has no authority over Blizzard's management. Blizzard is still Blizzard. Edit: If hypothetically Kotick could impose his rules on Blizzard, Diablo 3 would be by now released and WoW2 announced.

Does Obsidian, Valve or Blizzard give you the impression they treat their employees like ****?

I rather invest into hardware than playing with lag. PC hardware isn't really that expensive these days, and no, you don't need to upgrade every single year to run games properly.

Retail is almost always cheaper than any digital outlet.

Some nobodies complaining how ****ty their working environment is. That's why I only buy games from companies that respect their employees with dignity.

This looks really good. But I will try the demo first before I make a decision. Too bad I never got around playing Mafia 1.

What's the point buying a Steamworks game from D2D or Gamersgate? Buy directly from Steam.

Obsidian and Square really need to get together making a handheld RPG or two. I'd probably even buy it if it has some anime flair (for the Japanese market). Probably. See how desperate I am?

I'm playing nothing right now. But I'm mentally preparing for the awesomeness that will be Starcraft 2. Extra took 2 days off next week to play this puppy in peace.
