  1. It looks ridicules as Honest Hearts. What exactly was so ridiculous about HH? I get that religious nuts, tribals and outdoors are not everybody's thing but it never struck me as being terrible. And this is the first DLC that seemingly ditches cowboys and goes back to the pseudo-50s feel. Thats reason enough to hope that this time I will actually be able to buy the bloody thing.
  2. If you agreed that generating energy from fossil-fuels eventually leads to significant ecological damage how is it not relevant to the choice of future technology? All that potentially cheap energy does you no good if you're going to starve during a farming collapse.
  3. If you mean the NATO/rebels then I don't see why would they need to be concerned. Gadaffi can fund the war only for so long and on the western side of things I hear very few complains regarding the intervention.
  4. You're better off reading a synopsis on wikipedia, the plot is so badly told you'll have no idea what's going on (even if you played trigger multi times). I never had a problem with understanding the plot. Admittedly the game is slow in providing explanations and ties things a little too neatly but by the end nearly everything was plainly spelled-out.
  5. CD Project Red sued over Witcher 2. Even if namco loses the point regarding publishing rights the part about DRM removal may be valid. I wonder what consequences can CDP face if found in violation of publishing agreement? Can the xbox version get delayed because of this?
  6. That's just the framework. The organ growing must have taken some time as well. And I wouldn't get that excited over a trachea. If we can move on to hearts or chemically active organs things will get interesting.
  7. Is decision like that really in Obsidians hands? Target audience seems to be more of a publisher thing and it seems DS3 was always meant to go consoles-first. Maybe because shooter fans are more appreciative of newer technology. Newer graphics/physics and better production values are far more important in that genre witch in turn gives it more mass-appeal.
  8. And just how much non-linearity do you expect from a story-driven RPG game? Because "one totally different chapter" seems to be a much better deal that any other game recently released.
  9. It's simply dull and boring. Bugs aside the overall quality of it is what you would expect form a free to play title.
  10. That just proper storage, it still can't generate power at night.
  11. Thats because they change their numbers when real data shows up. Some of their initial guesses have been wrong by 2-3x or more. Unless the game becomes a massive hit or someone speaks on the subject we are unlikely to see a good estimation of sales until Square-Enix investor report shows up.
  12. Yes, Russia did in 1998 and Argentina in 2001. As to what happens as I understand it - nothing good to those involved.
  13. Game trailers review 6.3 surprises the hell out of me. I always figured GT goes easy on games.
  14. It was a high budget high profile sequel to a successful FFXI so the audience was there. If publisher investment ruled critical reaction it wound never end up with the sub 50% average on metacritic as it's potential for expansions (and subsequently their previews) was no different than other MMO games. And I have never heard that the game was unplayable, that usually means serious technical issues rather than bad game design. And on the flip side - how do you explain the surprise hits? When games like Halo or God of War first debuted nobody considered them to be a major titles let alone a genre-defining ones. And then there are games like Vanquish, World in Conflict, Demon Souls that would earn very high scores despite unimpressive promotional campaigns and/or poor commercial showing.
  15. I really don't see Square-Enix expecting DS3 to be a 80%+ title. They would need a bigger investment for that. That's true but we are talking psychological boundaries here. For instance it takes 75% for green color on metacritic score. And console versions are now at 72/71% so they may still fall below 70% boundary.
  16. How are Daikatana and Doom 3 related? Other was published by Eidos and the other by Activision. Made by Ion Storm and by ID Software. I meant hypothetical doom 3 that would be just as big as the first one. That well could have been the case for all anyone knew when they decided to tell John Romero that Daikatana is not even a good game let alone a masterpiece.
  17. If that is the case how can you explain FF XIV? Recognizable brand name and the usual publisher didn't save it from poor critical reception. And gaming industry has seen it's fair share of high budget - high profile screw ups. Even back when Daikatana was coming people were still willing to criticize it regardless of weather they will lose the rights to a doom 3 preview simply because upsetting your regular audience with such practices is not worth the short term boost a couple of previews may bring.
  18. UK retail chains blacklisting Steam titles. Was bound to happen eventually. My problem is that if said companies are now free from price adjustments of brick&mortar stores their digital game pricing should reflect that. As it stands we may just be trading a retailer conspiracy for an outright steam monopoly.
  19. So are Greeks themselves guilty of this due to inefficiency and corruption or have they been screwed over by conspiracy of bankers and politicians? Seems like an important distinction to make.
  20. So how much time dose one need to spend on a game to fully appreciate it? Because this looks like a codexian "you haven't played it enough to judge it" argument. If someone has spent enough time to experience 70-90% content of a game I don't see why wouldn't their opinion matter. It's their description of objective facts that can be put into question.
  21. There are certain industry standards for ARPGs and DS3 simply fails to adhere to them. Add to that the name that suggest continuation of an established series it's only natural that there will be disappointed expectations.
  22. If you mean "released" = "released by OBSIDIAN", then that would be nice. Would be nice, when someone official could confirm this. The PC version is steam-only. There is no other patching than through steam.
  23. Gamespot review PC version got Alpha protocol score. A shame but not exactly undeserved.
  24. Source? Seems like a major thing to handle post-release.
  25. Dawn of War 3 officially in development Supposedly a mixture of DoW1, DoW2, Supreme Commander and MMO.
