Retail PC games are ok in most places. The problem is mostly with North-America.

The South-African one from the Farcry 2 review was better.

I guess you can get it from Gamergate with the bonus stuff and minus the laughter

I think that's just his general nickname. ZP is just ZP.

Does Gamestop actually sell PC games anymore?

One way to make the combat more interesting would be to have actually meaningful equipment drops. In ME there were way too many weapons with similar stats and the choice didn't really matter at all

That was a speculative joke based on no empirical evidence what so ever. It could very well be announced at PAX 09, though.

Zero Punctuation is not really an accurate reflection of his tastes. Also, not liking a particular genre doesn't mean you lack taste.

ZP is not about having taste, it's about being funny while truthfully bringing out the bad parts in games.

Actually, it's the Playstation Network or PSN The Giant Bomb guys only made an offhand remark about the quality of XBLA games falling after the "Summer of Arcade". Watch out though, you'll be going up against Defense Grid, which is a good game AFAIK.

I always make some random character and never really care about the build. I just pick what looks nice and doesn't totally screw everything up. It's not like you actually need an optimized build to beat the game.

Wouldn't that make him/her an irresponsible parent?

Does it matter? As long as it doesn't take me out of the game, it doesn't matter how they achieve it. Also BG's weapons were totally fine compared to DA's:

The real fun comes from the press releases: Maybe they'll talk about it on the Giant Bombcast.

Tales of Monkey Island review of shamelessly making fun of the Irish. I liked the Curse of Monkey Island

It's just something that caught my eye from the trailer. You can't really complain about the gameplay without playing it, right?

Just get the Assault Shotgun The AR was more of a SMG anyway.

Why can't we criticize the ridiculously large weapons? They were much better in NWN2, Witcher and all the earlier IE games.

Snitches get stitches etc.

I guess the game genres are pretty loose and ill-defined. The genres are pretty much created by someone making an awesome game and then everyone else copying the same formula to the best of their ability while changing things around a bit. If you make a good enough game and change enough stuff then people will copy that game instead.

Sure, I like to think of ME as a hybrid of old-school wrpg dialog system and an action oriented combat system.

I find that categorization needlessly limiting. Both Company of Heroes and Commandos are RTSs but they are vastly different in their gameplay. So basically almost every rpg from Diablo to Deus Ex to Mass Effect is an action RPG? There are hardly any games with turns/rounds anymore, I can only think of Dragon Age off the top of my head.

There's some new trailers out for JC2: An awesome new 10 minute gameplay video Official trailer Vertical gameplay Still looking really fun and crazy.

In Deus Ex you make your own fun. You could have stun proded them, set up a grenade trap, hacked a sentry gun, set a robot on them etc.

I just used the blood missile thing and my sword.
