Whoa, so it looks like the Legend of Grimrock folks can do outside stuff. Of course I'll probably complain about being stuck on an island

He was right. On the bright side, we only have 998 years to go before things lighten up!

Yeah, don't argue with the Border Patrol. It should probably be pointed out that the pastor in question is actually the head of one of those hate-group churches that spout nonsense for media attention. Well played Bester. Well played.

Finally had the time to watch this, it was fantastic.

What? Sorry, that's what normal people look like in their late 40's/early 50's.

Sharp_One, I know you are new here, but personally attacking people is simply not acceptable on these forums. Feel free to debate passionately all you want, but name calling is unnecessary. Your post above is a wonderful one until you put that final sentence in. It is much stronger without the ugly attack.

Larian Studios has always kept things tongue in cheek when it came to story and quests. Their humor was part of the charm for Divine Divinity for me, and that was still present in D:OS Heck, with a name like Divine Divinity, it better be funny.

Seriously, Minecraft is a huge property driven by an entire generation of young people. They aren't going to care that Notch is not involved, and they are going to convince their parents to buy it on every device they can. Plus the merchandise is huge. I'm sure the Minecraft Animated Series is dropping any day now.

There are plenty of other dens of scum and villainy to spout racist nonsense on. I hang out here because some civility is expected.

See that girl, watch that scene, digging the Dancing Queen.

Originally when I heard this story, I was on the husband and wife's side, and expected that they would win a decent lawsuit against the department (which is how this should be handled.) But that TMZ story definitely changes things.

None of that sounds like corruption. It sounds like capitalism, of course the higher paying customers are going to get better treatment! That's how the world works. But seriously, how does it affect you if a bunch of other people have a helmet? Just enjoy the game for yourself, or move on.

Oh I wouldn't recommend it to you Volourn. You would hate it.

I'm guessing you haven't played it. Is its gameplay compelling when you play it? I ask because it don't look very interesting when you watch others to play it. Yep, I'd say it's one of the best shooters I've ever played. I'm not really a fan of FPS games in general, but it is easy to pick up, fun to try all the different guns, vehicles,, grenades, etc. It might not be very complex, but that's a plus for a noob like me.

I play a ton of MMO's, and I have no idea what you are talking about. It's just a video game maybe not taking it so seriously would help? Also you are being super vague here, what is the game, what do you even mean by corruption? The company running the game can pretty much do whatever they want to the game world. If they want to make it pay to win or whatever, that is their prerogative. You as a consumer do not have to pay for anything you don't like, that's pretty much where your rights end. Free to play MMO's have always concerned me, because I know it is expensive to develop and run these games and clearly they need to make their money somewhere, and I'd rather play a flat fee than get nickle and dimed to death.

I'm guessing you haven't played it.

The world is a crazy place run by super crazy people. Or is it a super sane place run by no one? If you think the world is super sane, you're one of the crazies. So crazy it just might work?

Probably today, it is so big company that it will mess things constantly, if not in their main products (although I would say that The Lone Ranger (2013) at least was mess up and one could also argue same about John Carter (2012)) then in their byproducts like for example leaving certain main characters out of their action figure sets or t-shirts etc.. I'll give you Lone Ranger, although I never saw that one. Still, it seems like they hit a lot more homers than duds.

When was the last time Disney messed something up?

Why? edit: Since you didn't answer this earlier, maybe I am not being clear. What makes that million units line the difference between boom and bust?

I'm only allowed unsupervised in the C&C section. It's like a foreign language.

I'm a hunter, and I carry a big pistol.

Pillars of Eternity will probably not go over a million. Neither Alpha Protocol or Dungeon Siege III managed to break that mark. Granted those are very different games, but if we are looking at Obsidian's selling power based solely on their name, it's clearly not strong enough to pull in a million in sales without some extra name power. Plus both of those games had the benefit of being multi-platform, so it's an obstacle for PoE to sell only to PC gamers. But why does it need to sell a million? It's limited to one platform, it already raised $4 million from a small audience, and it's a new property. It's a niche product. It will probably wow the RPG crowd, but so did Divinity. It will sell hundreds of thousands of copies, but a million is about as likely as it was for Divinity. It's an unrealistic expectation.

Why?
