Heavy Rain invented adventure games. JASOOOOOOOOON

DA3 will be an interactive FaNTaSY dating sim (a mash-up of Joss Wheedon and Twilight) you can flick between whilst fixing dinner and washing the kid's soccer kit, with a fast-forward button for anything icky like fighting or gameplay. EA will then sell Bioware. We will all nod sagely and say "I told you so." Embittered ex-Biowarians, who are currently in the re-education facility will then post candid recollections of how awful it was, and how "they were only following orders." Lulz Umm, Heavy Rain exists already.

I hope sooo, will see how far the community will last It will be even more awesome if they even came out with item updates :D. Not one dungeon crawler ever did that to keep it going. The first to do that will be alive for ever. But devs arent that smart to do something sooo old news. Diablo II did that. @Tig: Valve does that with TF2.

The no boots on the ground clause was really for Western and Arab domestic consumption. Russia has no strategic interests in Libya and would gladly see oil price skyrocketing. China hates Gaddafi with a passion plus they're well oiled by the Saudis. Also both countries would LOVE to see America being tied down in another ground war. So those two countries will pay lip services to non-interventionism and seize this opportunity to stir up domestic anti-Western sentiments, but they will not use their veto powers. That is a good point. I can see Russia and China continuing their trolling.

The UN declaration clearly states that there's no foreign ground intervention. They'd need a new one and it would probably get vetoed. If the rebellion fails, everyone is somewhat more screwed.

This isn't so much about "getting oil" but making sure that the oil keeps coming. A civil war isn't particularly healthy for infrastructure and the oil industry, especially when Gaddafi started targeting some of the oil production facilities. Stability is the key here.

While protecting civilians and human rights is all well and good, I don't really think this is going to end well, oil or no oil. EDIT: The UN declaration snippet is interesting. I'd like to think that the UN wasn't in that much of a hurry that it didn't read through all the appropriate declarations.

He's invincible there from what I remember.

Bioware writing sci-fi... By that logic they should be harvesting dogs or growing bacteria and harvesting them.

Introduce a challenge. Present that challenge again later with an additional element or elements. Repeat. It seems so simple. You'd think so, yes.

It is pretty much the penultimate example for level and encounter design, as well as natural gameplay progression.

The important difference here is that the international system of states is still an anarchy with no central government or police, unlike a state. Plus there's a healthy dose of "you break it, you buy it" and no one likes peacekeeping operations.

Well, if the Gamers With Jobs guy says it, it must be the absolute objective truth.

Now, why'd you have to go and say something like that?

There's nothing wrong with building on existing IPs, as long as the outcome is good. That said, I'm still waiting for those downloadable smaller budget innovative games, Obsidian...

I though a wizard space aliens did it?

Perhaps the theater culture around these parts is different. At least people generally stay quiet and don't clap.

You kind of already turn into a robot by the end of ME2... I wonder if they will ditch that or maybe you'll be a full-blown terminator by the end of ME3.

Theaters are awesome, you guys are missing out.

GAF really needs to get a job

Related: Also, why does no one ever mention Mask of the Betrayer?

Hey, you can still strain it with NWN2 if worse comes to worse zing! I tease because I love

That is surely more of an issue with the censorship policy and not the delivery system itself...

Morons. Wish I could pay for the game and not use Steam, without the help of pirates. Oh wait, that used to be possible until they became even more money-grubby >.< Come on, tell us how you really feel.
