That review was slightly less useful than anything out of IGN.

The hook is your friend.

You sir, have excellent taste. I liked SupCom & FA's soundtracks too, just one example - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8X2HZgLrtU...feature=related

Level scaling ? **** yes! Interesting that he says "how you level up", so your opponents match your chosen specialty or something along those lines ?

Quite a difference is not a minor difference.

The three playthroughs I did of DA really didn't vary all that much re: origin

They are trying to butter up the "old" fans, got Spector onside too. But still useless to say you'll be doing X when the alternative is just stupid to do. Also, never too early to hate on a game. Best course is to hate anything up until you get decent feedback to the contrary

Here I was expecting them to say the original was meaningless and they spit on it.

I've seen people turned off by it on other forums. BS reasoning, but, these are gamers.

Really poor launch (marred by server instability, apparent bugs), continued server or service trouble. Could also be non-tangible things like poor combat or bad class design that makes it "unfun" to play a certain role, etc.

Ok, how about : It's made by Bioware. Most people are clueless brand lemmings so that should do it.

Epic, cinematic story coupled with tight, slick immersive gameplay creating a rich, deep experience for the user.

For your first question : Nope. One doesn't lead to the other. And besides I have guinea pig friends that will run out and get this that I can use for feedback. Only the 360 version leaked apparently, no PC version out in the wild yet.

Pft Grim Fandango needs no sequel . LA did have some pretty awesome developers though, Holland, Schafer, Gresko and the dude behind DF2, even Stemmle and Clark. They should make a sequel to X-Wing Alliance though. Anton Azzameen must pay!

Still on the fence.

Might be worth it for 2-3 months to see all the new stuff, reading the wiki pretty seeing some cool changes to some zones, like Westfall, Blasted Lands. Sometimes I wish I'd been on an RP server, hah.

ME3 and DA2 will easily recoup any losses

The "not caring" dig Thorton made. It would be funny to see TOR flop, and then watch the effect on Bioware and EA afterwards, however unlikely that will be.

Ah lucky thing it's only 10 days. Bored of this already, heh.

So I am not spunking in my pants over this MMO and simply posting somewhat bitter pill news from a *gasp* news site makes me a big meanie? I'd suggest its you with the vested interest in the game that clearly has the issue with only wanting sunshine and roses to be discussed. Sorry to disappoint. *shrugs* its only a game. One that you claimed to not care at all about. But just doing your civic duty and letting the rest of us know, right? DeathDealer = Win. You're a very sensitive person Mr. Harlequin. It's still somewhat "news" worthy material to post. The reactions you guys have against him are pretty funny, heh.

Holy Paladins have neat abilities now, got a scroll from a friend. The talent where you heal yourself with any spell or judgement will get nerfed hard, such is the bait and switch of releasing the talents early, heh.

Two of my friends are intending to play. It'll be funny to see how long it takes for them to get bored again. Paladins have changed quite a bit, I hear.

Kind of funny how I've ended up with Siam, Germany and Arabia all randomly stating I must die even though we've been buddies off and on. Now Germany's been cleaved and Arabia's dead, and my empire is still my cities and a whole host of puppet states. Really dislike that global happiness and the effect of annexation.

That does seem to be a flaw in Civ V, with the schizo AI.

Hate the Brutii. In my last game, I killed and lost about 10-15 armies in Greece, swapping Athens, Thessalonika, etc constantly. Eventually they just ran out men. Was great fun though, fighting the Julii in Gaul and Spain at the same time I'm fighting the Brutii in Greece and the damn rebels in Judea.
