SAGA? That was pretty much the beginning of the end, man. *has horrible flashbacks*

Duuude

Nope, they're too mainstream now.

Valve's future games are powered by Hats

X-COM in name only? X-COM in name only.

Big projects come with big problems, including, but not limited to playing it safe, getting kicked in the ass by the publisher(s) and copious amounts of bugs. Arcanum and PS:T were probably made on a (today's) higher end indie game budget. You can either sit on your ass and cry about the state of the AAA industry or actually go out and see what's out there.

Doom and gloom. DOOM and GLOOM! Try some indie stuff.

I, for one, look forward to the "visceral FPS experience", seemed to work pretty well with Deus Ex.

Dragon Age 2 got a 94, picky bunch indeed...

I think I'm missing something here. The last time I saw a real life "internet cafe" was in Budapest a year ago and it looked about as uninviting as the dark alley next to it.

Why would you play Diablo 3 in a cafe in the first place?

Internet... cafes? You mean every cafe that can afford a $20 router?

You're trying to diminish the role-playing Diablo actually does have. That's a bit silly, Purkake. Oh? Please enlighten me of this hidden aspect of Diablo, apparently it has eluded me all these years.

Going by the Giant Bomb Quick Look, Dead Island seems to be doing quite a few Dark Messiah things that you don't see too often.

And the road to mediocrity is paved with good ideas.

I guess Hard Reset looks a bit cooler than Bodycount... I'll stick to Just Cause 2 and Red Faction: Guerrilla for my fun though.

On the other hand it would kill Origin faster than the slow spiral into oblivion it would normally have... Unlimited Trading doesn't sound like a very good business move, though.

You wait until the mind blowing steam sale, duh.

I was trying to say that it wasn't particularly newsworthy and we have like 4 forums dedicated to AP stuff.

I don't think it was particularly unique even when AP came out and it most certainly isn't now.

Bomba. Should have included multiplayer with map packs. Even DX got multiplayer.

I've been mentioning it on and off in the various indie threads. Haven't played it though. Such as the one over here.

Can't we bait people more subtly? This is embarrassing.

Hey, at least give him some points for keeping the cyborgs, ancient cults, aliens and necrophilia out of it this time. I guess the ARI did manage to slip through though.
