Announcement at PAX confirmed?

Tremere FTW! I ended up going melee.

Most people buy the best marketed games and games that their friends play.

I have a feeling that the DA console ports(especially the PS3 one) aren't going to be so hot, at least compared to other built-for-console games. I'd switch Spore out for the Sims franchise. I think most people have forgotten Spore already.

Sure, but this thread is (as I understood it) about the mainstream. If it's not then entrerix should have made it clearer.

And? You actually live in a world where most gamers haven't heard about Planescape or Baldur's Gate and think that Oblivion is the best RPG ever.

Halo 3 hasn't been out for that long. If Halo 3 is the first online FPS you play, it will undoubtedly have a special place in your heart. Sometimes I think that most of you here live in a different world where the mainstream doesn't exist and gaming has become some weird underground thing that only a few people do.

It has been shown time and time again that reviews have very little, if any effect on sales, at least for console titles.

Why doesn't anyone ever speak of RPGWatch? Is it worse than the Codex?

Did you buy from their site? If so, that's some pretty nice profits for them. I don't want an invite, but I'm sure the game will be fun. Here's a screen for anyone who is actually interested: Maybe you should play Demigod and League of Legends and make some kind of a comparison thing.

The markets are not that similar and the best selling games(on the 360 at least) aren't crap, they are fun, memorable games.

Prototype is a horrible, horrible game. As crazy as Infamous' story was it was heads above Prototype, which was an ugly, bland and uninspired slaughterfest.

Game genres are defined by gameplay while others are defined by the setting etc. I'd say ME's dialog system differentiates it from other action rpgs like Diablo etc. Stalker is a shooter with RPG elements because it's main focus is the combat, the interaction and inventory management are secondary. Just compare it to Deus Ex.

The only combat sloggy part in Bloodlines for me was the Flesh Mansion along with the endless sewer tunnels. Ugh.

If ME is an Action RPG, then what do you call the Diablo genre? You also have the ill-defined System Shock/Deus Ex genre of FPRPGs.

I'm sorry, I thought this was about video games. Also, it's just correlation. Someone suggested Prey, why? It's pretty much the definition of a mediocre derivative shooter.

MotB alone isn't all that long, the Witcher is certainly longer. NWN2+MotB is probably longer than the Witcher.

Most people will probably say yes. I didn't really like it that much. From a story perspective they are almost completely isolated stories. The only connection is that you are the same character from NWN2 OC and you get some off-hand references to the events of NWN2 OC.

Go play MotB, it's not too long and really awesome, especially the evil path

You'd save 0.01

I'm sure he'll rip it apart, he only really likes Portal, Silent Hill 2, Sands of Time, Dizzy and like 2 other blurry games

I don't find it boring and I still think it's a stupid argument, but whatever. Diablo III will sell like hotcakes anyway.

Damn gaming websites making sensational titles. As long as THQ is "pleased" with the sales, it's probably a success.

I think that condemning a game because you click a a lot in it is stupid. If you really hate clicking maybe the game isn't for you, but hating clicking seems irrational. Plus I think you can just hold the button down now.
