ESRB has rated the Xbox360 version Now that was fast. I wonder if the whole PC exclusivity wasn't a ploy to appease raging egos. It certainly allowed CDP to play the good guy in contrast to Bioware.

The problem isn't that I want modernity or have issues with the way such information was obtained, it's that such knowledge has to be absurdly selective and unused to maintain the pseudo-medieval setting. Why, for example, no vaccination for the plague was available? Surely if cancer is understood then immunization should be a the most logical application of similar knowledge in the fields of medicine and biology. Simply put - if the authors insist on revisiting fantasy conventions they should really avoid putting there things that evidently stand out. The moment they step outside the tropes I have been conditioned to accept at face value wondering begins, and that cannot end well in fictional universe. This way one out of place line ends up undermining the setting and ruining a lot of immersion I might have had.

Yes. If you have the knowledge and ability to understand and control cell mutation we should be talking about bio-weaponry not swords. Besides that the whole plague business from witcher 1 suddenly makes little sense.

Not really, once you break away from the notion that everyone in medieval antiquity was a raving zealot and embrace the fact that everything we thought to be modern has been thought out centuries ago. You will feel more comfortable with grimy mages talking about mutations. And yet they still bash each other over the heads with swords?

That may be but if so the real evidence should lie in resource use. Witcher 1 could easily make use of 1.5 gigabytes of RAM and it's savegames exceeded 100MB. It was obvious that it was in no shape for porting to console.

I doubt the same memory mechanics are in place. Console games of this type despawn all objects outside of player sight range to conserve memory. I assume witcher 2 acts differently.

I'm not sure if that is so simple. They never managed it for witcher 1. What is typical witcher 2 memory usage and savegame size? That's usually a good indication of console portability.

When exactly has 80% became low? The game seems to have production values below the expected norm so breaking the 8/10 barrier should actually count as a major success.

Could you elaborate where historically such a thing took place? Because the only thing that comes to my mind are rare and extreme cases of mass-murder when kidnapping attempts failed.

There are visual clues as the NPC react somewhat differently laying. The real problem with game is whole evidence collection and interpretation. I never get what the player character has in mind and constantly end up testing what 'Lie' option says. Dose anyone else have a problem with a slippery slope during gathering clues? Whenever I get first few questions wrong I soon end up unable to call 'Lie' as I lack the right evidence, that effect seems to get bigger as the case progresses resulting in a poor showing. Same. If I'm interested enough to watch then I'm going to want to play myself, and I don't want to watch someone else do it and have it spoiled. The point isn't only to watch the game but how other people react to them and solve problems presented. Besides that it's a perfectly good way to experience story/narrative in games without having to suffer through generic action sections.

Even if obsidian owns the IP who would finance the sequel? Sega is the most risk-taking of the big publishers and even they were not happy with the reception of AP.

If they are in the bink video format (.bik) deleting usually works.

I actually read them but they are little more than senseless wish-list for a different type of game all-together. You simply try to impose RPG mechanics on an action game in addition to a terrible combat cop-out system. And I expected Fallout 3 to be isometric and turn-based. Guess how that turned out.

All I understood is that you are looking for a completely different game. DS3 by all accounts look like a console hack and slash not a far off diablo cousin. And is your first complain really that you are pressured not to die in combat? If challenge frustrates you just ask for a no-dieing solution, not some nonsensical regeneration while you are running in circles around a boss.

Posted at iron tower studios Highlights: Would really love to see that in a modern RPG. The 'use the speech' solutions have become way to simplistic.

Isn't that a contradiction? If the universe is a deterministic system then so are you and thus have no choice in any matter.

First of all - your train of thought is really hard to follow. You move from promoting determinism through a thought experiment to advocating regulating media. The argument would be far easier to understand if it was made in reverse order. And the problem I find here is that nobody needs to deny that some social behaviors are socially harmful to not want censorship. Some can easily argue that attempt at regulation can be far more dangerous than the behavior in question. In fact I think you made that argument yourself in the case of drugs.

It is kind of hard to buy from a store things better than a unique.

In practical terms this means nothing, at least not in our lifetimes. But in the field of theoretical study this could be really important. AFAIK physicists have always wondered why gravity is the weakest force found in our universe and finding out if/how antimatter is affected by it could revolutionize our understanding of it.

Assassin's Creed: Revelations announced. Starring: Ezio, Altair and Desmond, set mostly in Constantinople. I guess they'll explain the aliens and then leave the world saving to the 2012 game.

Antihydrogen held for seventeen minutes. Hopefully we will soon know how antimatter reacts to gravity.

Could you give a source for this? That would be unfortunate. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_bin_laden Thanks. A shame he couldn't be taken alive but speculating if it was even possible is pointless.

Could you give a source for this? That would be unfortunate.

Why should we in the first place? Propaganda has proved itself to be a invaluable tool in directing policies and attitudes of other people so giving up on it for the sake of moral standard seems rather unwise.
