Morgoth

Metro 2033 was reviewed my German print mag "Gamestar", and got a respectable 85%. It's only 7 hour long, very linear and gunning is easier than stealth.

Know what? Even if I get a beta key, I won't use it! I must resist the urge to spoil all the fun, getting all the units known already. Better wait when the full version comes out and playing it slowly and prudently, the way it deserves to be played!

Don't worry, when Pakistan tries to launch a missile, it will probably crap out inside the silo and blow up right in their faces.

Ok, it's up on youtube already. Well, I've mixed feelings about the terran soundtracks. Most of them sound a bit too much of country, I mean I understand Blizzard thinks of their marines as space cowboys/rednecks, but geez, they've overdone it.

But I heard Firaxis also has a console title in development. That's either another Civ game, or maybe something new (X-Com pretty please?). Am still a bit astonished though that they don't get sick of all these Civ games.

Yes, and it gets quite praised plus it's better than DS1. Still not my cup of tea.

Wow, a PC exclusive, in these days? I salute Firaxis and 2K for this brave step! :salute:

If Obsidian is developing a Final Fantasy game then I'll leave these forums forever.

If you find Drakensang's plot & quests generic, I can't see how you'll be able to finish Dragon Age. The prequel will focus more on story & party interactions according to Radon Labs. For one, there's full voice-over & the demo already contains more party interactions in the limited time that it lasts, than in the entire first game combined. It's basically the opposite of Venetica, which has abysmal performance but pretty good voice-over & story. I think it's clear Radon Labs focused on creating a believable setting + a good, stable engine with their first RPG... and indeed it blows away DA at both accounts in my book. Ferdok is my favourite 3D RPG city after Vizima... it's great fun to simply run around & pickpocket everyone. Judging from DA, I really think BioWare should outsource their level/area design to other developers... so they can concentrate on what they supposedly do best -> writing story, dialogue & character interactions. You joking right? Drakensang was so bland and boring I couldn't even finish the demo. Oh and for a 3D game, Dragon Age has very beautiful areas. And yes, while I do like to criticize DA and Bioware, it's nonetheless the best fantasy RPG on the market.

A FF game? Wait, aren't they just already busy working on 3 games?

No beta access here either. Also checked out part of the soundtrack. Terran 1-5, Zerg 1-6 and Protoss 1. Only song I liked was Terran 1. Have they upped the Terran and Protoss music already? I only found the Zerg ones.

So, anybody got a SC2 Beta key? I didn't get one yet (dammit). Listening to the Zerg soundtrack on youtube right now.

Wrong. You also need low-enriched Uranium (up to 20%) for power reactors. That's what the Iran has done the whole time. If they'd build a nuclear device, they'd announce it and enrich it to 85%. I don't think Iran is building a nuclear device. But this totalitarian regime around Ahmadinedschad needs to be overthrown, for the sake of the Iranian people. But that's the job of the Iranian people, not of some foreign military power.

Gas Powered's new game, Kings & Castles has been acnnounced a few days ago. Click I don't see any publisher logo, so I presume they're trying to pull another Demigod, aka self-publishing. Hope this time there's a real story campaign included!

Nah. Just postponed to Q3 2010.

I'm still waiting for that Omikron sequel (prequel?). I really hope it won't take another 4 years for the next QD game.

The Swiss have already Gold. Austria's decline has started.

Funny that it took 4 years to create a game that can be finished in 7 hours, and will probably be forgotten within the same amount of time.

I chose Anderson in ME1, because he was a more sympathetic dude. I felt sad for him in ME2 since he wasn't very happy with his new gig.

I sold this POS alreay. From now on, I'll stay clean. From now on, I'm a zealot of the pure PC master race!

Ahh, I just said the wrong thing and then she walked away from me. Probably didn't pay alot attention to her. Well, sucks for Samara.

Now I get it. Because I failed Samara's mission, I couldn't meet her.

Who the hell is Morinth? I never met that chick. Ahh, I get the feeling I missed half of the game....

Bingo. Seriously, it's what Bioware always has done. The fans just couldn't handle a depressing and devastating end. Dirty, filthy lies! Purky & Morgy - Wash you foul, unclean, heathen mouths out with rose water! Awesome depressing ending by Bio! Okay. Thats one. One.

Square Enix has completely failed it's purpose and obligations as a publisher, because the game is soon out and there's hardly any marketing or previews, let alone a fully working homepage.
