  1. Lies. BG1 is the biggest stinker. Its just pure hack n slash with a wee bit of story between the kobold massacring. Its the only Bioware game I was too bored to finish,
  2. Its been July 9th for freggin' 22 hours and 36 minutes over here, when do these lazy canardians get their asses out of bed?
  3. Why dont you print it, sign it and give them the printout? The validity of a contract in digital form is more than a bit dodgy, imo.
  4. From my standpoint as a developer, nvidia hardware and drivers are generally more stable. Both our problems were with x1800 laptop cards though; one that made the FPS drop to 0 if more than 40,000 triangles were being rendered at the same time, and one that make an external screen flicker on and off when new textures were being loaded into the graphics memory. ..and I found out that all my problems with my Gf7900GTX were due to fried memory because of overclocking
  5. If you liked Dungeon Siege, I have trouble imagining how horribly abyssmal a game would have to be in order to disapoint you.
  6. I hate webgames.
  7. Sure. Every genre comes with its own batch of clich
  8. Thats because ME was an awesome game in an interesting setting, not just some blotch of fantasy smudge that came out 4 years too late. Obsidian has grown out of that dodgy bussiness and are working on some titles that seem very cool, and its a damn shame that Bioware hasnt don the same by throwing DA in the bin and moving on.
  9. I just wish Bioware would have found something inetersting to work on, rather than just another damn fantasy RPG. i can already make a pretty good guess at what the plot is going to be "The big bad race who created everything is returning to do naughty things to everyone in the realm. You, the generic fantasy hero, must collect all X pieces of the magic thingie that is the only thing that can stop them. There will be a wide range of available sterotypes like elves of dubious sexuality and grumpy midgets."
  10. Im playing Battlefield: Bad Company and its pure swedish awesomeness. Im surprised there hasnt been more of a buzz here about it, all 360 and PS3 owners shopuld rush out immediately and buy it, its that good.
  11. I thoguht you drunken finns always used knives?
  12. Hahaha, thats completely retarded. I didnt see anything about this on the news, how com the BBC knows more abotu Swedish stupidity than we do?
  13. And the Commodore Amiga ony lost gaming to IBMPC, because the latter was the computer of choice for officework etc. and thus the kind of computer parents bought to do serious stuff and kids then borrowed to play games on. It was much easier to convince your dad to buy a computer for him to use for book-keeping, than to wish for an Amiga gaming rig for yourself. My dad wouldnt let me have a commodore64 or an Amiga 500 because he thought they were just toys. Strangely enough, my first computer was an Atari 130 which was just as much of a toy if not more as it had no useful software whatsoever.
  14. Seeing as those games are five million times more entertaining than any MMO, I dont mind if they continue to do nothing but FPS games for eternity.
  15. We have that in sweden aswell, the time is saved beacuse you dont have stand in line waiting. You just swipe your debit card in a thingie and leave the store with your food.
  16. My two 7800's idles at 45C and goes up to 60-something at full load. I would hit the panic button if they were ever to reach 80. Consumer electronics are not meant to run that hot, and it severely decreases their lifespan.
  17. Since nearly all firearms-related violence exclusively involves pistols and revolvers, it is clear to me that we need to ban the small guns and free up ownership of really big ones. Especially for home-defense, I mean what could be more effective as a deterrent than an M240 7.62mm machine gun? And I doubt any crackhead would attempt to rob a convenience store with a gun that weighs more than they do. And dont give any crap about over-penetration, property damag and hitting your neighbours and innocent passer-by's by accident, its called collateral damage for a reason. A bullet being fired in good faith is not something anyone has the right to hold you accountable for.
  18. I seriously hate their films. I watched a whole 30min of "Bloodrayne 2" by Uwe Boll before I gave up doe to boredom, but it only took 5-6min of "Epic movie" before I felt ready and able to go on a killing spree.
  19. Nvidia better dump those prices pronto, or they'll take a beating. I would personally never put a 300gigawatt beast that goes to 90C under full load, in my computer but alot of other people would. ...thats 200 fahrenheit, for you non-metric people
  20. If youre so stupid that you cant make the connection betwen obesity and too much food, you should be pelted with pebbles and ridiculed until you cry. I love multinational corporate junkfood, Swede burgers feel either way too healthy or greasy enough to give a whale cardiac arrest. There are few things more satisfying than a double cheeseburger with extra bacon ...and vegetarians are cowards.
  21. There's one planet that mentions something about some people finding a giant alien ship (sovereign) that later disapeard mysteriously with everyone involved.
  22. The official genre label by Microsoft and Bioware is "action-RPG" so you're right on the money there, Volo. IMO, any discussion about a games "true genre" is irrelevant as its the publisher who puts the genre stamp on the box.
  23. Its kind of a duality thing with those. Theyre all the same and you get tired of them real fast, but without them, space wouldnt feel quite as big and spacey. But we can almost count on ME2 having more actual content, since BioWare now have a working pipeline. ..on the other hand, its EA holding the money, so they might opt to release the game sooner with less content.
  24. Now you're just being an ass. Have you even played the 360 version?
  25. I thought it was good, certainly the best story BioWare has ever come up with. But they really need to stop with this "the ancient race who created everything" schtick theyve been using IN EVERY SINGLE GAME THEYVE EVER MADE. And the 360 Mako: the turret is semi-independant, but which way is forward is determined by where youre aiming, which complicates things to a great deal. If you want to strafe around Trasher maws for instance, you have to constantly compenate your direction which is very tricky. My theory is that some senior designer thought that was a good idea, and no one else wanted to argue about it.
