Well, the psychological impact of the situation is obviously a bit different, him being your friend and all that. And unless he's a professional torturer (him being your friend and all, I'm not automatically dismissing the possibility) it's possible that he couldn't make it as unpleasant as someone with more practice could.
Pretty much agreeing with you, well apart from the personal impact of 3. I didn't finish 3 or 4 (making Vice City the only GTA game I've actually played to the "end") and especially 4 started feeling like work towars the end... LA Noire I enjoyed a lot in spite of the terrible interrogation system and the food poisoning I had when I played it, so I think it's less of a genre issue than I've always suspected. I might take a stab at this, if for no other reason than the total drought the rest of the year seems to be displaying.
I offer 55$. Independence War 2 was hands down the most immersive space-sim I ever played.
Hell I'd pay to see a good sequel.
With the two of you in a bidding war over it, we can't avoid getting an excellent sequel.
Well, BGEE is a lot more solid than the original Mac BG1 was, and it doesn't even work on anything post 2002, so I definitely got my money's worth out of it.
Murray's been fairly successful, taking the US Open and Olympics last year. The last time a Brit won in Wimbledon was in 1936, though.
Cricket and Rugby... I couldn't say. I know they've won gold in Ice Hockey in Olympics unlike, say, Finland.
I'm happy that Fred Perry's ghost can now rest in peace, but I'm sorry that **** Murray got the honor
Highlight of the match: Gerard Butler's scottish ecstasy :D
Too much sightseeing not enough gameplay?
I dunno, I think it's their idea of puzzle where I know exactly what I'm supposed to do but spend most of my time reverse engineering their thinking on how to do it. Was occasional in Uncharted 2, constant in 3.
Hm, a hive mind here, I don't know. Generally it's wishy-washy "I like their games but they do have silly stuff" for the most part. Maybe I am not looking closely. Or have a higher threshold for hatred
Or you've never been in my pm box. Good thing, too.
It's about as misunderstood as being patriotic as Springsteen's "Born in the USA".
I'll try to not hung up on the fact that the author can't make a list of even four movies that he'd actually seen...
Or just facepalming really hard, like me.
Horrible animation.
I watched a trailer, it was enough for me. In my defence, I'm not writing manifestos on how bad it is, based on said trailer, unlike what people did with DA2.
