Guest Slinky Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 Is Arkane making Prey 2 as a spiritual successor to System Shock 2? While I would have wanted to see the original Prey 2 from Human Head as it looked great, a spiritual successor to System Shock 2 from Arkane sounds like ******* AWESOME!

Cultist Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 Free-to-play Heroes of Dragon Age coming to mobile Players will put together squads of heroes and monsters that "span Dragon Age lore" from packs of characters that can likely be earned within the game or purchased through microtransactions. The publisher describes Heroes of Dragon Age as a cross-platform mobile game, so it will presumably be available on iOS and Android.

alanschu Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 I had just heard of it today as well. Though I'm guessing the reason for sharing is to point and laugh, as opposed to actually spread awareness of said product? 1
anubite Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 I've been following the game since it was put on kickstarter. It looks like a stupid joke game, which is going to make it a tough sell, but if you watch the tournament from EVO (and last year's EVO), it looks very fun. It's got a lot of deep mind game mechanics to it. I'm honestly more impressed with it than Super Extreme Turbo Unlimited Edition Street Fighter, in terms of design.

Humanoid Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 We know Microsoft are closing down their GFWL Marketplace and the associated points system in a few days. But some information that was put on then taken down from the Age of Empires Online page indicates that Games for Windows Live in its entirety is getting the kybosh in the middle of next year. While in a sense it's good riddance to bad rubbish, it's unclear what the fate of those with GFWL-encumbered games is if the developers/publishers don't choose to act. Grain of salt and all that, rumour and images blatantly stolen from this thread. Another unsourced image sort of backs the above. L I E S T R O N GL I V E W R O N G
melkathi Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 While I of course will say good riddance to GFWL, I do have the odd game that required it. I wonder how that will work out. Unobtrusively informing you about my new ebook (which you should feel free to read and shower with praise).

Guest Slinky Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 Heh, most of the other reviews haven't been that brutal, but they haven't been that positive either. Seems to be avaraging around 6/10. I guess XCOM: UFO Effect could have worked in paper, but not without a blue lesbian sectoid.

Humanoid Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 (edited) “The new Origin Great Game Guarantee works like this: You may return EA full game downloads (PC or Mac) purchased on Origin for a full refund – within 24 hours after you first launch the game, within seven days from when you purchased it, or within the first seven days after the game’s release date if you pre-ordered it (whichever of these conditions happens first).” “If something doesn’t work out – you aren’t riveted by the storyline, or sucked in by the action, or even just if the game doesn’t play well with your video card – we’ve got your back.” -RPS That's TWO good news stories about EA in a week. Now as bad good news comes in threes, what'll be the third? EDIT: Don't see any reference to it, so I assume it's not the case, but it'd be nice if the policy applied to retail keys registered with Origin - i.e. being able to reclaim the key within the timeframe.

Just came to post this, but was beaten. I really don't see them letting you reclaim CD keys. That requires a whole other function out of their hands to turn into a refund.
