RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS THREAD!, just a dumping ground


Recommended Posts

Was to be expected. Still pretty terrible, Radon Labs was a decent developer and the second game improved so much on the first.

 

Then again, it might turn out to be decent. Aventuria is a great setting, and TDE has some fun character classes to play with.

 

... assuming they get to work with the license.

CVG and the LA Times are reporting that Kotick has lost a very big legal battle over unpaid lawyer fees. The fees in question were to help Kotick and co settle a case where he sacked an employee for complaining about sexual harassment at one of his companies.

Is anyone else uncomfortable pre-ordering a game with that kind of bonus? I mean, it seems kind of... I don't know. The guys down at GAME are going to know about the bonus and what it is, so you're pre-ordering it and they assume you're getting it so that your two little avatars will get it on. That just screams awkward to me.

Didn't The Sims already do that?

 

Did it? I just found it funny that people can(will) create themselves as a villager and then bleep them. It also forgot to mention that emos can get enjoyment from this.

Orcs are just misunderstood emos.

 

I haven't got the slightest clue what the Fable games are about, maybe I should check out some FAQ's some day.
