RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS
Well, ps3 users have been complaining for the whole generation about how they had to suffer FMVs packed for DVD size, instead of using the full available storage space on blu-rays. Imagine if digital downloads were more heavily compressed than disc releases, or even worse, they'd start compressing the whole release more heavily to make the digital download smaller? If you don't have the bandwidth, buy the disc. Simple. Such rationale requires a level of technological proficiency which console users seem adamant about not learning. If you have a console its very likely that you're trying to avoid technical issues and learning. I find your methodology suspect, especially since I don't feel like I fit your profile myself. Then you may be the exception, I've met some. Still most console owners I know aren't tech savvy and when the inevitable PC vs Consoles debate starts one of the main arguments seems be the convenience of a machine exclusively for playing games. Which seems to be a common response around the web, alongside the fact that consoles (allegedly) don't have to deal with as many technical issues as the PCs. Of course I chalk that up to general ignorance surrounding PC gaming, hell I used to believe that myself before I got into it.

Every man over 30 should have self respect, cause as soon as you hit 35 and the beer gut grow it will be gone. Seriously Raithe, what are you doing perusing girly web sites reading articles by gay men?

No such thing as evil - top trumped
Despite my dislike of knights my value system closely resembles the chivalry code, in order to be good one must not only embody the ideal of virtue but also have the strength to uphold it. Therefore only the strong can be truly virtuous, laymen will lay down their code in order to protect themselves while knights will die for what they know its right. While I don't hold that laymen are evil because of this; its a very human reaction after all, I don't think of them as virtuous or good. The problem with teaching empathy is that you will have to cause suffering upon someone, which is the only way through which we can truly put others ahead of ourselves. You will have to make people buy the fact that there will be no reward for being empathetic, a lot of pain, and most of the persons you will feel for will likely reject you. It takes a tremendous amount of will to go against every natural instinct in your body just to uphold an ideal. I honestly don't think it will catch on, if you could however induce empathy chemically then speak to me about dissemination plans.

Most behaviors that could be considered evil stem from selfishness, I therefore consider empathy to be a requisite virtue for goodness. I don't however think of empathy as part of a value system or something that can be taught. It is rather something innate to which we lose touch due to ideology, upbringing or in some extreme cases biology which gives rise to the irreconcilable differences among men and the problem of evil. Ultimately beneath us there are two instincts fighting for dominance, a will to survive and by its extension the survival of the species which in turn manifest through empathy and other like behavior. Empathy is distinct from goodness that we may not agree or acknowledge certain actions as good but we may empathize with them and understand where they come from. Whereas goodness is a moral absolute that is a polar opposite of evil.

One of the questions of my recent forays into ethics and philosophy has been "Why is every philosophy obsessed with good?" Why if there isn't good and bad this would be a place you wouldn't want to live in? I think this focus on good is ultimately contributing to the fall of western society where personal happiness trumps purpose or meaning.

That's the beauty of Kickstarter in my opinion. If the new Torment, Eternity, Star Citizen, etc are horrible games. There is only one company to blame and that's the developers. I hope they realize this. Especially Obsidian who has a history of complaining about publishers interrupting development. Well, now is the chance to show what you can do when that doesn't happen. And I actually pledged to Eternity 50 euros or something, and I don't actually have much interest in the stuff I get apart from the game. I put 50 euros on the game, the digital stuff is just some nice stuff on the side. The unfortunate side of it is when people's expectations are misinformed, they may hear that it is a game from the guys who did sequels for BW games and did F:NV and think that the game will be something along those lines. Come release day there is no way they are not going to be disappointed.

Witcher fans confirmed for no less delusional than Bioware fans. I don't generally see too many Witcher fan, but during my short stay at the BSN I saw romance threads for every possible character, after a character's reveal the inevitable question of "are they romanceable?", custom signatures supporting romances, as well as the usual LGTB related thread. I don't think that Witcher fan's can fill shoes that big. Plus how many Witcher fans are there? 10?

A workable definition for "immersion"
@JFSOOC: If you look through the definitions of immersion (and not just the first one) you'll find "deem mental involvement". It is suspension of disbelief, tunnel vision, filtering out your surroundings. As to how it is achieved in games, it is a matter of balancing game mechanics with story

By this point you probably have heard, played enough BW games that you can have a reasonable expectation of what it will be. If you think that BW are crap then why do you waste your time with them?

What is "Ironman" to you and how will PE handle it?
Hmm, this got me thinking...is it be better to include several variables(like one save, limited resting, etc,) and allow players to create their own "Ironman" modes than to create a certain set of conditions and label it "Ironman"? I believe it is. It is convenient to allow players to create their own Ironman or self nerf in order to make up for the game's mechanics which in a True Ironman would prevent the player from progressing. The advantage is that when the developers create an Ironman mode they have taken into consideration all of the game's working and are better suited to the task. They're probably the ones that know if its possible to complete the game in Ironman mode.
