That's true, but then the problem stems from the crazed teenage horde.

Wouldn't an undead team be much more cost effective?

I'm blaming valve.

Yeah, that's how it is with GFWL stuff, get an offline account, same with GTA IV. Don't let that stop you from enjoying the game though, it's awesome.

DA2 will have a new special combat system for consoles, the PC one remains the same. From Kotaku:

At some point the audience will be more mature than the developers, we could call it the gaming singularity.

Think how much more armor coverage they could have if the Darkspawn got a functional designer instead of a crazy one.

Considering the potential profits, it's not really surprising that people are sinking millions upon millions into development. Modern Warfare 2 sold more than $550 million worth of copies in the first 5 days, eclipsing all movies and GTA IV which held the previous record.

Seriously, do you even think before delivering your inane one-liners? I'm betting you could do it asleep. How is not installing unwanted software and not participating in a deal you don't think is advantageous to you "futile"? How is it even a "gesture"? Uh... I was not talking about installing unwanted software on your PC, my point is that DD is going to become the norm sooner or later, there is no stopping it. Whether or not you will have to install stuff on your PC is to be seen. I don't understand the issues with the Euro, but I do know in North America large scale retailers use their purchasing power to ensure that DD games are not sold at a cheaper cost at release. It's pretty much that. The publishers have to keep the retailers happy because they still largely depend on them, also going all DD on the consoles means giving control over to the platform holders and the publishers are probably not too happy about that either.

Not using DD on principle.

It's not bad, but it is a futile gesture.

You can't stop the digital future. You will be the grumpy old men(and women) of the internet.

This might come as a shock, but I wasn't being entirely serious.

Austin Powers?

Obsidian should ditch development and become a group of mercenary writers. If you have a writing problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire the O-Team. * *

Are you sure he doesn't just harass people with his horrible dancing?

Well, that's around 20+ years of reading material gathered together. The term "triple stacked shelves" comes to mind * Just to derail things for a moment.. As things looked when I had to empty the "library" section to redecorate my room.. You should ask them to pay rent.

I just hate the announcement of an announcement thing going on in the industry. Some companies should really look into the Apple model of announcing something and releasing it within the month.

Step by the indie games thread or loot Good Old Games.

Well, some people are wrong, happens every now and then.

It's an expression, instead of teasing awesome stuff just show it off when you can.

I look forward to RanchTown.

Talk is cheap, Gaider. Less telling and more showing please.

Well, yeah. Until all we got was cheap DVD cases. A game collection is like a well-sorted movie collection on the shelf, or a library of books. Except that they are, you know, video games. [...] That's exactly the kind of thinking that has put gaming in this cultural slump. My point was that I'm not going to put Temple of Elemental Evil and Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines next to War And Peace and Schindler's list. Gaming can get out of the slump when it starts taking itself seriously.
