Forza 4 is going to limit the top speed of the cars to 55mph because Turn 10 doesn't want to be blamed for gamers speeding and crashing their real life car(s).

Bad analogy.
Should Forza 4 allow you to slam your car into the stands and decapitate people like it's the 1955 LeMans? Or would that distract from the game and not be sensible to include?

The people making this game don't want the focus, both in the game and around the game, to be on killing civilians. Accept it. This is their game, not your game.

Dust on pubs and Dust in clan matches are two entirely different things though. There is no reason to get rid of Dust, it's very well balanced when played with the intended amount of players.

Not falling for that. I remember last time Valve tried to lure me in with free cake.

Not sure to what degree but that artifact is present in many FPS. Unless I'm mistaken it is/was in Quake engine based games.

No, iD software has fixed this issue since Quake, but in their previous games, it was present (Doom 1+2, Wolfenstein). If you watch Doom speedruns, they always run diagonally which looks kinda funny

I wonder when they fixed it... I'm pretty certain this was an issue even in in HL.

I'm not going to play a game where the guy with the most money wins.

The Ars article was actually quite complimentary of the AI.

The reviews are funny in that some say the AI is dumb, while others like it, and some reviews say the voice acting isn't that great, but others specifically mention how it's good.

Also felt like, for the most part, the voice acting was decent.

Another paper struggling for attention goes the anti-gaming sensationalist route with a completely bogus premise. What a shocker...

Another study blaming a currently-popular pastime for teens acting like teens. Walk through any high school and you'll see the same things being played out.

Anyone ever notice that Bioware for some odd reason has something against their female characters having long hair? Dragon Age, not one playable char has long hair to choose from, Mass Effect games. None there either. I would mention one of their game but I can’t right now because of NDA.

Not a problem here. I always had a thing for women with short hair. The whole tomboy thing I find hella cute.

almost every person is apparently 260+ pounds of muscle, 1% body fat. Also Batman must keep thousands of ER doctors working round the clock, resetting all these snapped limbs.

This is an awesome comment, because it's a video game based on a comic book. Realism really should be maintained.

You're driving down a slippery, snowy mountain pass in your minivan with your wife and kids.

Suddenly, a crazed man jumps out just a few meters ahead of your car. You know that if you brake, you will all die to save this man.

So you don't brake. You decide to run him over.

Your car brakes for you. You all die.

The good news is, you just saved a hardcore PCP addict from certain death!

Just being pedantic, but wouldn't the title of "Lord" take precedence, making him "Lord Dr. British"?

Meh, regardless he's still Mr. Garriott.
