RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS THREAD!

Recommended Posts

Not sure I follow you. The assumption is that the username and password (and e-mail) are linked in the db, so they'd have four different names and passwords for you. Not sure how it makes life harder for anyone than you... Are you using the same passwords on other sites, is that the point? Or four separate identities that you use nowhere else?

 

For the record, this is genuine interest, I' d like to understand if there's an advantage from this approach, but I'm still not getting it if there is. The way I (still) see it is that having a minimal amount of information per singular database (in this case the EA/Origin one) is the safer option... :/

My logins are not "related". For all intent and purposes, they look like three different users with three different emails. One for each game. Curses, I thought it was four, but my DA and ME2 accounts are related. I forgot I got that silly DA Blood Dragon armour for whathisname commander of the Normandy. Grave oversight on my part, as I try to keep them separate. More a cause of concern is that I use this login name for a few other forums, which resulted me in changing passwords when NMA got hacked :(

 

Edit: Those EA accounts are then again different from any other login I've got on the net, which was the original point. A "pattern" I've started practicing ever since facebook felt free to distribute my "not shared with anyone" email addresses to scammers a few years ago.

Ok, still not seeing how it puts you into a better position, but I guess it can't hurt :)

You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that?

Eh, people already do stuff like throw babies out of 4th story windows. Consumers being so isn't that disheartening :p

Rainbow 6 Patriots details

 

Woo visceral combat, one button tactics. Enemies tripping as they run for cover is a neat touch though.

so instead of making a final fantasy game in the spirit of 6-9, they've decided to go the opposite route and just keep getting further and further from when they were actually making great games?

 

:lol:

 

whatever, clearly the people in charge of the final fantasy franchise have completely lost sight of what made the franchise's popularity explode.

The Making of Risen Part 1.

 

Disappointed they're now using a terrain engine, but what little you see there looks absolutely brilliant.

Or it could come up like a great Japanese action-RPG like the Tales series, or Radiata Stories, or Drakengard, or the Secret of Mana series. Yep, Japan isn't known for making Action-RPGs, you're totally right. :p

I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"*

Hmmm...all of those except MAYBE the Mana series stunk compared to Western Action RPGs.

 

Even a game I thought was so..so... that I just finished, War in the North blows any of those out of the water in relation to action RPGs.

 

Then again, FF lost me wtih FFXIII. Sort of have no interest in the FF series anymore after that one. If I hear REALLY good things about FFXIII-2 I MIGHT buy it. Currently it's not even on the list...which is a shame.

 

I bought one of the original 60gig PS3s specifically because originally FXIII was coming out for the PS3. When I got it...that was the disappoinment of the century...well at least the decade for Video Games.

Spike VGAs 2011 Nominees

 

Expect nothing of the modern gaming industry and you will never be surprised.

 

Glad that Old World Blues is up for best DLC though.

 

I like how the game of the year nominees include 3 PC games, yet none of those are nominated for best PC game. Quality judging right there.
