The new Awesome Button Technology ? seems to indicate that they are trying to become the Michael Bay of the gaming industry. I liked ME2, but I worry about where they are currently headed (if DA2 is any indicator). Combat in in ME2 was mind numbingly dull, all action and no tactics. I've also developed an irrational dislike of corridors The characters and diverse story elements was what kept it together for me. If only they were the Michael Bay of gaming, because even for his lack of storytelling he does deliver on the special effects department. BW's Awesome Button should be aptly named "Mildly interesting Button" Problem as I see it is a fish out of water situation, BW is learning how to do shooter/action games. Sadly enough their mechanics fall short of the real deal and it shows, which wouldn't be a problem if their games at their core wouldn't be CRPG where you spend the majority of the time fighting. I already regard Bioware games as the equivalent of Yaoi fanfiction written by a fat girl with glasses and ten cats :coughs:Jennifer Helper:cough:

I agree, I thought it would be much higher. Maybe they got those numbers out of people who chose to play the game connected to the server and they have imperfect data. Plus I would think that people playing subsequent playthroughs would at least try it. On the other hand a bunch of guys fearful of playing a game with a female character does sound like the COD crowd. Mission achieved BW

I guess we should point out the difference between rich and wealthy? But point is that corporations and those within can drag cases for years. E.G: the ruling on sexual harassment suits against Walmarts employees and Halliburton (KBR)

Sorry to hear, my condolences.

Watch the Daily Show with Jon Steward, 90% of their footage comes from FOX news.

Genetics, some people are just fugly even if you see them for a fraction of a second.

What, you don't like Godsmack playing on the background while you run away from a big black tar monster? Warrior Within all the way; Two Thrones has too many speed-kills and combat isn't really good (as the prince) the other guy its awesome.

So far it has fared well, besides its a good game. Methinks that they had planed to try and break into the western market from the beginning of the fiscal year with irrelevant IPs like Dungeon Siege or Deus Ex. Better that they develop new IPs like Bulletstorm or Hunted.

I've been deeply immersed in both Napoleon and Shogun Total War, just getting ready for when I've have to take over the world for real

Conflict is always central to the story, a dystopian backdrop makes for an interesting setting. Just look at human interest stories, often they are focused around a tragedy or a struggle and they potentially humanize a historical event. memo to myself: Do fictional human interest story set against a dystopian future setting Put it up on the web ??????????????????? Profit.

Isn't that sort of the genre's whole point? The (negative) effects of scientific advancement? I am going to disagree with you here. (And apparently with TV Tropes) Cyberpunk features dystopian futures and technological advancement, but that advancement is not the cause of the problems. Cyberpunk typically shows technology as a means of liberation. Things like megacorperations, poverty, overpopulation, and oppressive governments are usually the cause of the negativity. Corporations like Walmart and Halliburton evil? Why I never...

are you kidding? They left the series at a great point, now we get to see the conflict develop :squeee:

Play old games you once liked a lot. Works for me! This isn't books. Everything older than a year sucks. The past is dead to me. I guess I'm going to have to read A Dance with Dragon. May I suggest you branch out to games that you wouldn't otherwise play?

I find it disturbing that you chose to worship a man instead of a woman.

I don't know I'm just not feeling it, looks like another generic shooter that's headed for a bust.

Put on your brown pants, and don't forget to share your experience in great detail. Hmm, we don't have an official Amnesia thread, do we? Shouldn't someone do a Let's play Amnesia? :looks at Lexx: :

So a requirement for your ideal society is a reduced human population, (yer a bloody monster mate ) Aside from the fact that culling the herd its no guarantee that what remains is the smartest and strongest, you have to deal with a homogeneous population. So your version of the future its like The Jetsons meet The Beverly Hillbillies. Disturbing stuff

From dust you come to dust you go

Have a cigar.

Sudan better hope it's China. We're the US' oldest serious ally and we get **** all. That's because the US is a rebellious son of England. Now I'm imagining a personification of America screaming that he's not going to go to bed on time because he's a big fat boy now... right before collapsing in a heap of sleeping. Fixed

I'm sorry to get a bit off topic, but is it true Hugh Grant wore a wire on these people?

Sudan better hope it's China. We're the US' oldest serious ally and we get **** all. Oh England, you always went for the bad boys.

Enough, embrace your geekness, let it fly free whenever it may take you and when some **** pokes fun at you just remember how empty his life must be without any passions to sway him.

I don't see why; IMO BW is not a bad developer its just a matter of them wasting their potential. Which I as I see it, is their ability to craft a world that's both believable and engaging but their execution of the story doesn't live up to it. Although this could be a simple matter of me being annoyed at BW for pandering to the COD crowd instead of my taste. But then again I would really like storytelling in the medium grow, not become an excuse for explosions and "press a button and awesome happens". So maybe that my bias towards them.

Have we talked about Legacy yet? Seems like we are going back to killing darkspawn.
