Humanoid Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Its kind of humorous. This is the same exact crying tears of blood that everyone did when D3 launched and their servers got hammered. A week later everything was fine. "EA is an on online company. We're definitely watching what's going on at Blizzard, and we're putting in backstops and checks to try to prevent those kind of things from happening." Guess that didn't pan out so well. It's probably a game that would have been a nailed-on purchase if not for the technical aspects - I own both SC3k and SC4 but have basically played neither - but SC2k easily makes any top-10 games list I've ever compiled. Will Wright Kickstarter time maybe? :D L I E S T R O N GL I V E W R O N G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WorstUsernameEver Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Yes. I believe it was called Hero. As Duke Nukem and Colonial Marines have shown us, when games go through various iterations and take a long time to be released, they're bound to be good.This doesn't mean much one way or another, given that there are games that went through development hell and came out critically and commercially successful and also appreciated by the fans (I daresay "good", but obviously there's a lot of subjectivity involved in giving such judgments).

That was a very cool article, I didn't even think twice about a lot of that stuff. It really shows how deep and conscientious the plot writing and character development is for Obsidian.

Raithe Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Oh for those with an interest, Bioware have decided to give away the ME3 Citadel sountrack for free. Just have to log into the social network for it. Mass Effect 3 may not have had the Best Ending Ever, but BioWare is certainly going all-out to make up for it with Citadel, the last hurrah for Commander Shepard and the gang. By all reports the DLC is huge and excellent, a truly memorable send-off for one of the most impressive game trilogies ever, and now BioWare is giving away a souvenir of that fond farewell in the form of a full-on soundtrack And we're not talking about just four or five remixes here. The Mass Effect 3: Citadel soundtrack features 20 brand new tracks by Sam Hulick, Cris Velasco and Sascha Dikiciyan, who "came together to compose an emotional and powerful score for this personal journey." The Citadel soundtrack is available as a direct, DRM-free download from the BioWare Social Network - just download it, unzip it and fire it up with your media player of choice. This is a seriously solid move by BioWare, and given how good the Mass Effect score has been across the entirety of the franchise, it's one freebie that no fan of videogame music should pass up.

Edit: Tl;dr; version: He sounds similar to a blog post from the past, praising the way sexuality is dealt with. It's there, but not an issue. Same thing with religion, it's there, part of the setting and shapes people, but not the subject of antagonism. 1 “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

I've always wondered how those discount places got their keys. Figured them more for grey market than black. And unlike Prell, I'd definitely call products bought with stolen cards then resold "black." "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."

Gorgon Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Not demonstrated that this is the norm rather than an anomaly for these kinds of sites. The reason they exist I reckon is because of regional pricing and the potential for huge savings during sales. If you buy a new game at normal pricing you are getting screwed by STEAM guaranteed. Not strange that it would motivate people to exploit the sales and pricing as much as they are able. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.

Zoraptor Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 It appears that another new System Shock 2/ Thief patch has been released. No apparent involvement from the people who put it up on GOG, it's turned up on a french forum again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyCrimson Posted March 14, 2013 Author Share Posted March 14, 2013 If you buy a new game at normal pricing you are getting screwed by STEAM guaranteed.Could you expand on what you mean by this? Outside of the fact you don't get a physical copy , I haven't noticed the new games seeming more expensive (in the US, I mean) via Steam. Is it the non-US Steam market you're referring to? I know that's often a big contention point, but I thought the non-US high prices often applied to even non-Steam gaming as well. “Things are as they are.
