What Tigs says.

What?

He should have an acoustic guitar as a weapon.

OMG, a Dungeon Siege where you can't have your own character? Jussi It's still your own character in the sense that you develop his skills and abilities, and choose what he says.

The entire LGS collection would be a nice addition. Also cool would be Bullfrog's games and quite a few Westwood classics. EA has been sitting on the biggest pile of PC gaming classics for years, the bastards. Syndicate, Terra Nova, Ultima Underworld, and Blade Runner would be a nice start.

Sorry.

There's an awesome dragon in The Witcher 2.

In other news, lobster is better than grapes.

For me, The Witcher had two main problems. One was all the pointless back and forth. It's just tedious. The other problem was the shallow combat. With the stances and the different signs CDProjekt could have designed a really interesting combat system, but instead they went for the simplest, most boring system ever which was made worse by the almost complete lack of challenge. This is somewhat mitigated in the first few hours of the game, if you play on hard, but it still ends up becoming a rote process of mopping up enemies around you. What it did very well was the art design, the plot and a lot of the writing, and that was enough for me to ignore the flaws. Thankfully the game's problems were more of the boring than of the broken variety, allowing me to have an easier time ignoring them. In any case, if they manage to improve the combat sufficiently, the sequel could become one of the best games ever. I'm eagerly hoping for that.

You need to see The Killing.

Aw, c'mon!

Call me when they release a new Spectrum 48K.

Perhaps Obsidian is just carrying on the streamlining and simplification tradition of previous Dungeon Siege games. Or perhaps no compulsive slashing was involved in the development of DS3. Imagine that.

Hilarity ITT.

The ending songs for The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya and for Furi Kuri.

Can it be ending songs? Also, for some sick twisted reason, I've always found the opening theme for The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya unbearably catchy.

You pick one of those four characters when starting out and then develop your chosen PC's stats and abilities as you see fit.

I was killed by kingcomrade...

Let's try to keep things kosher here.

It's always nice to have a poster around delivering the ROFLs.

It was always fairly apparent that all multiplayer modes would be cooperative, so there isn't any big surprise here. Also, as far as I know Obsidian had already stated there were only four playable characters in DS3.

The frog is a man who is a frog.

I'm holding a cat. Kirottu is the one who's actually a cat.

I played a bit of Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light with my girlfriend over the weekend. Loads of fun. Every time one of those big exploding bastards got near her, she pressed the thumbstick ina reflex sending us automatically into the menu. Pretty funny. I have to get her to play Amnesia.
