Right, because all of the conversation with her which are of deeply philosophical nature, existential and the major religious theme of KOTOR 2 equating the force to a Pantheist sentient being not deep. But Shepard making some crack about where the council can shove it, writing gold.

That's what I would do if I had a good enough computer, even if just for the campaign. wait you're saying that if you had a good enough computer you WOULD steal crysis 2? Piracy isn't stealing. It's like borrowing. I hope you are kidding.

What I see as the main problem with PC gaming is the work it goes into into getting the game to run properly. From awkward control schemes, bugs and the system requirements. It's a lot of work for your average casual gamer that's used to putting a disc in playing immediately. Gaming has moved from technology conscious people to reach a broader audience whose computers are used mostly to check their facebook status. The Millennials are a social breed, most games right now include some sort of social aspect. Unlike the Generation X who is very individualistic and self reliant, their gaming experience was private and personal. Which is what PC was back in the 90's, it was a personal possession. The games reflect that, now PC gaming is mostly MMOs.

I think that the piracy problem is over dramatized by the industry and we have begun to join in the hysteria a little bit. Crysis was an exclusive PC release and performed well enough to generate a sequel, I wouldn't say die until it release. If more copies of pc games are pirated than are sold, which was suggested to be the case in another thread, then I think it's a pretty big problem. There's always a level of loss in a business that is tolerable and products are priced accordingly. But when the loss levels are that far out of whack, a company can't simply adjust pricing to make up for the loss. Even if the pirated copy does not always correspond to a lost sale, it sometimes does, and that is still a lot of lost revenue. Especially for a game that takes multiple years and thousands of developer hours to complete. It's a major problem for pc gaming that I don't think CAN be overstated enough. Crysis sold what eventually, 1.5 million? It sounds good but is that really a lot? Crytek is a company that appears on the surface to be more comitted to the pc as a gaming platform than most, so having this happen is pretty unfortunate. I see what you mean, how piracy affects a particular company is different of how it affects the industry. Although I believe they were sort of expecting it thus the multiplatform release.

I second this and raise you a Hopkins

Another blow against pc gaming, the comments thread after the article also makes for depressing reading. Right because all PC gamers definitively know how to pirate and have no morals. Half of them don't want the hassle, others don't like to wait, and there are those who actually believe in ethics. PC gaming is dead because gamers prefer console not because of piracy.

:scream: I love Halloween! :runs away and hides:

pBecause you only recently discovered you were gay You mean to tell me that I've been gay for 6 years now I find out.

Mike Myers.

Yep, the rest of the world know that it's a crazy alien theory.

We keep going like that we are going to eventually go over all the variation of the "monomyth". I don't even care about all the plot holes, I could had look past them and the wasted codex. But the dialog was just awful, I mean MaleShep is like a crossbreed of James Bond and Zapp Brannigan. All the one liners and Saturday morning cartoon writing. What bothers me the most is that I know they are capable of more but seem content to "reach a broader audience" by dumbing down their games. Basically I'm tired of everyone calling games an art form when the best they done it's stroke the egos of a bunch of teenagers. And then they ask why everyone thinks video games are for kids.

Sorry I meant the game, the demo is on it's place.

Well, the demo has been delayed. until Feb 22 not a lot but...

Not without the Normandy, but the battle with the Collector's vessel counts.

My biggest concern it's that for such a well crafted universe with an immense amount of information in the codex, barely none of it is integrated or it's shown in the main story. There is a wide gap between the Mass Effect universe and the Mass Effect games. *scratches noggin* so, how do you propose the developers go about integrating? surely not through tedious exposition, right? so, give examples o' stuff you wanna see in game, and then tell us how you integrate so that it all fits. HA! Good Fun! How about the same way it's integrated in the real world: with a direct link to the physiology of the species. Man doesn't have claws or fangs, so he makes up for it with a sharp rock. Man has no tough skin so he gets mauled when trying to use a sharp rock against a tiger; solution is to wear tough animal skins and attach sharp rock to the end of a stick. Technology is driven mostly by limitations, I find it weird that no species in ME has any technology of their own and that the guns seem to be universal. I mean you pick up Geth technology (the assault rifle) and can use from the get go, no reverse engineering no accounting for differences in Human and Geth physiology. I feel like they missed a really good opportunity to have an weapon's customization system and flesh out their universe.

It is something that has becoming something of a custom with BW games, they craft such interesting universes but fail to explore them and instead go for a moronic approach to storytelling. @Nep: Your stick doesn't hurt me

I'm okay with that Spy Games is on my frequent rotation.

Hey, Requiem for a Dream sucked but Lux Aeterna remains a brilliant song.

"Marathon Man", great thriller with Dustin Hoffman at the vanguard. "Audition" is also great if you can deal with the Japanese style of long hours of lethargy "Single White Female" is now getting a remake. "Serpent and the Rainbow" kind of close to my culture's beliefs "The Vanishing" easily one of my top 20.

Yesterday I found my muse

You can't really give it a go with that attitude or else it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. The past its in the past.

Of course they do, they having culling the herd with their food for years.

You know what? I'm a big horror fan ever since childhood, I'd say "The silent of the Lambs" just because Hannibal Lecter was one of my biggest idols growing up. That and Bram Stoker's Dracula with Gary Oldman. If I could take Hopkins, Oldman, and Jeremy Irons and merge them into a supervillain I'd be so happy.
