If the military wanted to solve this bloodlessly they would have.This was a deliberate show of strength on part of the new regime. In all likelihood this means they are hoping for some insurgency or even a uprising to happen just so they could crush it. If their position is really that strong they are under no danger of losing to MB. That means that the only question left is who will be the new Mubarak. I dispute that this could be solved without bloodshed. Only by releasing Morsi and by allowing him to be reinstated as president would his supporters be satisfied. The Egyptian military won't allow this so I believe there will be bloodshed. The question is how much and how heavy handed the Egyptian military will be

I am not sure what you mean? No one is arguing that they aren't good games. My point is that in the last 15 years they represent only 5 % (if not less) of the total number of RPG that have been released where you don't have some sort of end boss fight

That would work actually but I suppose this is about complete civil disobedience and the protesters would just move to areas where the smoke wouldn't effect them?

Planescape: Torment, Fallout 1 & 2 (technically in 2, though one or two people have to die, you just don't have to fight them). I played Torment and I didn't realize you could avoid the final battle, so there are maybe 3-4 RPG over the last 15 years where you get to avoid the final battle. I apologize for only getting it 95 % right

I don't support the level of violence that the current Egyptian government is using but the Muslim Brotherhood is not some harmless group that are the complete victims in this. We have seen, and as mentioned, they have attacked churches and police stations and they are doing everything in there power to ensure that there camps of protest are not removed. This means attacking the Egyptian security forces, it should be no surprise to anyone that causalities are high. I would expect this considering the circumstances

What? If there's one thing the Witcher games have, it's a strong emphasis on player choice and consequences based on those choices. Or am I unclear on what you're saying? Because it sounds like your complaints are the exact opposite of what the Witcher games actually are. You are correct, Witcher 2 does offer you more choices from an RPG perspective and there real influence on the end game then any RPG I have played I'm not referring only to when choices carry over, but that is a big part of it. But most choices made in each individual game have an immediate effect but nothing long term, with the one exception in TW2 that you pointed out. You just don't have much influence over the story compared to most RPGs, no influence over other characters, and there's only one playstyle in TW2. Good games, but mediocre RPGs at best. Honestly Rhamnetin have you even played Witcher 2? I don't know a single RPG I have played where you have the option to not have some final end game battle with the antagonist that during the game you are hunting. In Witcher 2 you have the choice to not fight Letho, it would be like not choosing to fight the Archdemon in DA:O. You can criticize the Witcher game in other areas but to say you can't make RPG choices is just silly Played it twice. So TW2 is the best RPG because you get to choose whether or not to fight one particular battle? Now that's just silly. How much does a ticket to this make-believe world cost? We going to have to agree to disagree on this one. It seems like every example that someone gives you highlighting why TW2 is a game that offers you RPG choices you dismiss. I stand by what I say that TW2 does offer you RPG choices, you dispute that. That's fine and that's your view. I'm going to move on around this particular debate

You guys are haters of Capitalism and a good family man. Didn't he have his son with him? Don't begrudge someone who is trying to provide for his kids when the world is faced with serious issues like the rise of demonic powers that could annihilate all living creatures...what about his retirement annuity?

Funny you say that but that's why I intend to buy this bunble

Sounds like you are a big fan of the series? If games like Witcher don't offer you RPG choices what would be a good example of a modern game that does? I am interested to compare your idea of a true RPG to the Witcher series. Witcher 2 has 10 possible endings or so based on your decisions so I'm not sure what more you want?

Or is it? Interesting, I have no doubt it will make it to PC...the question is when

Guys more information that looks like GTA 5 will be coming to PC https://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2013/08/13/nvidia-reveals-possibility-of-gta-v-pc-during-earnings-call.aspx

Happy B-day my friend

And when you constantly heckle in threads about games you (claim you) are not going to buy, I KNOW you're not getting any. Poor retort, take a -1 penalty to all further attempts at being a lawyer. But Nep scores a + 3 for a relevant and very humorous response

Nice trailer, but I'm not sure its possible to be more excited about this game than I already am

What about your president GD? Surly you respect Obama even if you don't agree with all his policies

There isn't a good or bad side, its all about if you agree with the factions objectives.

Happy B-day Malc

Personally I could never live in the countryside for the reasons you mentioned. I would move back to Helsinki, or another big city, if you can. You tried something different but its time to accept big cities rock !!!

I think I understand this part. There is no water in the Marine Corps and its good to drink loads of water before joining so you don't get thirsty during your 3 month training in Boot Camp? Maybe it's so they'll make an adorable 'sloshing' sound as they run, and the instructors won't pick on them so much. On further reflection that makes more sense

I have no judgements about Uplay, since I really know little about it. It's just a rebellious nature sort of thing ... I'm tired of having to register and register and register for every little thing now, and having to keep track of it all. It's getting so if I have to "register" for something new (forum/website, services, etc), it's almost an automatic "nah, not bothering." I think it won't be long before my only presence on the internet will be Netflix, Steam, GoG and .... here. Things I already have. Yeah I have had no real issues with Steam, Uplay or Origin as a form of DRM Very rarely the services are down and I log in later and its fine. It always surprised me that people overseas have such issues? As for privacy concerns. I would think it would be clear now that you don't really have privacy on the Internet, programs like Prism have just highlighted this again. So who cares if some company knows your date of birth?

Interesting, so we don't get that day off so the number of Public holidays probably even out between our countries

No I think that would be acceptable

Its a public holiday in South Africa today, its Womens Day. This is a relevant holiday where we recognise the important role that women play and also the fact that we as a nation are opposed to sexism and misogyny that is still rife in many sectors of society. Its a good time to phone in on popular radio talk-shows to give your opinion around this aspect of discrimination. I also finished Darksiders and I am busy downloading IWD from GOG as we speak
