I think the videos look good. Lack of landscaping is a shame, but not the end of the world. The region system looks good, I can't imagine I'll be playing with anyone else but I'll enjoy making full use of the area. It bugged me in SC4 that every city would have its own international airport and (to a point) power stations when these should be per-region super-projects so yay for that.

I preordered this in a moment of weakness. That was at the same time as I bought FIFA13 and was disappointed to find that its Virtual Pro feature has been gutted so by purchasing both games without knowing their feature sets in detail, I have basically ruined PC gaming for every one, for ever. Sorry 'bout that.

Is this the same game as has been available in Europe for months, or does Pirates & Merchants refer to a new expansion pack?

Why are you commenting here?

Sounds like user error.

I overreacted for (evidently failed) comic exaggeration, but this is not user error. I did not put this code in their website:
<a href="[URL of Review]/view/2" target="_blank"><b><font size="3">Continue on to page 2 for our list of Dishonored pros...</font></b></a>

That's their target attribute, and also their use of prehistoric font and bold tags, rather than using CSS.

It really surprises me that it's not higher in Steam's sales list. I wonder if a large number of Steam customers now just buy through GMG and thus aren't counted in the list.

Creston

I'd blame it on how little information there has been about the game, compared to other games coming out on the same day (XCOM), and a crowded market with BL2, TL2, and the WoW expansion.

Anything's possible, but I wouldn't say there's been "little information." Their marketing campaign has been pretty all-encompassing, and they've had quite a lot of previews on most of the major sites.

I guess there really aren't that many fans of the Thief-type gameplay...

Creston

Oh right, there's a game to discuss too.

This is effectively the first I've heard of this game. Past references have passed me by, largely because I've managed to start avoiding pre-release stuff to avoid spoilers and getting my hopes up. I thought it was like The Saboteur, which I didn't think much of, so this may be a nice surprise.

Deus Ex: HR being a recent example.

Funny, I'd say DE:HR was one of the best games ever made.

Creston

You're fortunate to have that kind of taste.

Plus, you should really say it's one of your favorite games of all time. Claiming it's one of the best games ever made when it's clearly not is either disingenuous or egotistical.

So he should make clear that what he said is his opinion and not fact because that's disingenuous or egotistical when it's clearly not ... in your opinion. Are you being disingenuous or egotistical? (Edit: none of your criteria, sales or the now-worthwhile journalists, make any difference, the best game ever is only a question of opinion and that's fact (that I am egotistical is irrelevant)).

You had a fair point (I assume you meant that reviews, especially release day reviews, are not reliable) but you've made a horrible mess of putting this point across.

Yes, all 23 reviews are clearly meaningless...

And reviewers need games to be steam-lined, because they're idiots who know nothing about games...

Blue, any chance you can highlight which reviews were done on a PC on lists like this?

If this is to be the end of it then you have a point, but there's no indication that this is the end of it.

What exactly do you think is going to happen? That the Prime Minister is going to get sued or something? I'm fairly sure New Zealand has a similar law to the US, where you can't sue civic officials, much less people in the actual government. If they didn't have such protection, I doubt the PM would have ever said a peep.

Now he can appear to be magnanimous while full well knowing that his ass is covered.

Creston

I said what I expect, you cut it out of my post! Dotcom will probably sue the government, if not individuals. If he can sue individuals, I wouldn't expect the PM to be the defendant any way, it would be someone in GCSB.

I don't think this apology means a whole lot but it's something. It's better than saying they did nothing wrong, or saying nothing which would look like they want people to think they did nothing wrong.

If this apology in some way reduced the chances of a lawsuit succeeding, or reduced the chances of the PM being investigated, then it would be bad - but I don't think it does.

Can you apologize now for committing crimes and that is good enough? That explains a lot, the driving I see on a day to day basis makes far more sense now. I'm sorry I ran this red light, bye bye! Sorry I robbed you, see u next time.

Perhaps we should start punishing crimes? I know that can seem extreme but I just really hate most crimes. Sorry for being a crimist. (like a racist)

Are you saying he shouldn't apologise? And by extension, criminals in general shouldn't apologise?

They did wrong and he apologised. If this is to be the end of it then you have a point, but there's no indication that this is the end of it. If Dotcom sues, I don't expect the judge to throw out the case because of this.

You have no idea how good the USA has it. Try living in Eastern Europe for a few years. You'll beg to return.

You saw where he mentioned he moved from the US to Europe, and how it still seems like a good idea? That suggests that he has a fairly good idea how good the USA has it.

Interesting that our EU friends have to now carry the banner of freedom for us Americans. We all know changing the terms after the fact IS A NO NO. Good for them, hope they win and reverse this recent trend of BS.

It seems that a great many people in America have been duped into thinking that freedom means freedom for companies to do what they like. In fairness, I hear that companies are people over there.

yeh, more predictions from the pachter-wannabe "oracles", huh

it may be a better idea to talk to people who are actually experienced in many instances of a certain activity... rather than listen to hypothetical bullshit from spectators and armchair heroes that only have their daydreams and fantasies to rely on

Honestly, if you want to troll, you will have to be much more coherent. I genuinely don't know what you're talking about; I only get the gist enough to know you're attempting to insult ... someone. Destructoid? KickStarter? Blue? Us?


well honestly you have no fucking clue what im doing, and i dont have the desire to explain it to you, even if you were able to understand, which you arent

but the post below was directed at my main man Julio.. and anyone else who thinks their armchair "XP" entitles them to speak as if they are experts on any given topic... so.. if the shoe fits, then wear it SON

im having fun posting whatever i please, just like you

so honestly, dont worry about what im doing - worry about what you are doing.. unless you want another big serving of "fuck off".. and i cant blame you if you do, since im just so irresistible to interact with

Daaaaamn, I got told!
