  1. Nah, that's the next step, the one were we offer to give them money for it.
  2. I think I'm moving from anger to denial, btw.
  3. And both of them should be told "It's not your fault, I never should have hired you in the first place". But if it's a PR stunt, it's gonna blow CD Projekt's "gog is closing" into geosynchronous orbit.
  4. The DLC does include the Eden Prime level and the Normandy cutscenes, so it's not all on disc. As many have said about "The Truth" and that entire thing...I'll believe it when I see it. Also, Bio would be better to release it sooner than later...cause if it's later they'll still have people get it...all 3 out of 3.5 million who are still paying attention... (probably a slight exaggeration, but it gets the point across...at least better then Bio's current ending). That would be... interesting, to say the least. Can't say I find it very believable, but if it turns out to be true, they have some major brass balls. OTOH if it's just some troll, he has to be one of the most advanced ones ever. I mean down to adding a new MP map, returning the Collectors who were very conspicuously absent from ME3...
  5. I find your lack of faith disturbing... Bu it is all as I have foretold. Bah, even a broken clock is right twice a day.
  6. Not saying it's the fans' fault, am saying that the combination of negative feedback and commercial success might have dulled their senses. Certainly their early response (and that of several major gaming news outlet) shows a serious disconnect.
  7. Frankly, that's the better scenario. The other one is them adopting the "toggle" attitude. (ie. "we know better"). I think the major problem here is that people have been crying wolf since the EA acquisition. They still probably haven't realised how bad they ****ed up this time, just because a bunch of inane whining has greeted every release so far.
  8. Always expect to be disappointed. And ios isn't exactly a small platform these days. And the Mac versions of Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 haven't worked for years!
  9. They can stop the prez from doing bad things, and they can stop him from doing necessary things, if they feel it improves their own candidates election, gaming the lack of knowledge I referred to above.
  10. I don't complain that there's mystery and some question "where does the universe go from here". I complain that the end of a freaking trilogy has no closure, and no real coherency with everything that's gone before in the trilogy. "I didn't want the game to be forgettable, so I decided to copy Deus Ex: Human Revolutions' endings." I think they've become too convinced of their own excellence in Edmonton.
  11. I believe he meant Beaten by Raithe, even if I used the other quote.
  12. Kai Leng's introduced in Karpyshyn's third ME novel, a very clear-cut case of http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheDragon for TIM. Not a lot more backstory in the novel, either, just that he's a first-grade **** and former N7 alumnus. Out of place is probably more due to the fact that his final look seems to come from some other game - completely out of place on a technical level. Nah, he changes his name in the middle of the fight. The reapers' aren't big on bureaucracy. Edit: oh look, the old url linking no longer works, or I just suck. Oh well.
  13. I have trouble accepting how big an importance people place on simple labels, especially in a two-party system. Just like I have trouble accepting how Americans don't seem to understand the role of the congress at all.
  14. Actually a majority I think were like me. Since they assured us that there were two different teams and it was totally separate, I decided to hold off judgement until ME3. DA2 could have been a fluke, every company has them occasionally. Whether I or those like me buy another bio game in the future actually hinged very strongly on how ME3 turned out. Faithful enough that they wouldn't condemn bio for one game...but basically waiting with Bio on probation for however it turned out with the results. DA2 was at least of an even quality (or "quality", depending on how jaded you are). ME3 has you running through a sunny field, surrounded by buxom babes and a wide grin on your face... and then hits you in the face with a baseball bat wrapped in razorwire.
  15. With the new ipad resolutions, having a combined hd/ipad etc.version isn't exactly unfathomable. You guys are so high on your elitism, you fail to see the opportunities.
  16. Looks like I need to get my drink recipes going. Easiest would be two shot glasses, side by side, lit up.
  17. Gonna be interesting to see if DA:Awakening will become the last proper expansion. They outright said they were planning one for ME2, I guess that became LotSB, in the end. They'd probably need one to dig themselves out of the hole, now...
  18. They've been doing that from DAO onwards, at least.
  19. The awesome button was a definite fail, shep handled fine on the x360, but I had issues with cover/rolling due to the a-button approach. OTOH, like somebody said earlier, the rolling mechanism doesn't sound like much, but is a massive improvement to the combat experience. Funny like that.
  20. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
