I wonder if they changed that terrible ending.

Only slightly on-topic, but I remember in the recent DNF threads some posters were irate because Duke can only carry 2 weapons at a time. I agree with the main argument - why would anyone pick up a "fun" weapon instead of a functional one? The fun weapons are luxuries and we'll only use them when they're forced on us (which will piss us off.) Instead we'll always have 2 of the following 4: pistol, machine gun, shotgun, sniper rifle. Never anything else.

I finally got L4D2 last night, though. Hey, check it out, 2 weapon limit. Did anyone complain about this, too? Definitely a similar reason for it. Granted, it's less frustrating, as the series doesn't have a multi-weapon history, there's less weapon variety, and shortcomings from picking up a less-general weapon can be made up via teamwork (although, since I'll probably only play with bots, things like the grenade launcher are virtually useless to me.)
Still, it's definite consolidation that I don't remember people complaining about.

I couldn't care less if Blizzard releases Diablo 3 on consoles... cross-platform development isn't the problem, the problem is not taking advantage of all the platforms you release on.

In other words as long as Diablo 3 feels like a PC game on the PC then I'm happy. If Xbox gamers get to play it too then hey, good for them.

the only "True" PC RPGs I've played in the last three years were Drakensang, The Witcher, and Risen. Everything else has, in some way, been watered down for the slope-headed console playing troglodytes.

I liked NWN2 and its first Expansion quite a lot. Oh wait, that was 3.5 years ago...
But the expansion was still in that 3 year period!

How many people long for that "past, simpler, and better world," without ever recognizing the truth that perhaps it was they who were simpler and better, and not the world about them?

Dragon Age on the other hand? Not a port.

I havent played Dragon Age yet, but are there those typical text messages while saving, that i SHOULD KEEP MY FATTY FINGERS FROM THE POWER SWITCH BECAUSE THE GAME SAVES NOW? Typical sign of a quick and sloppy conversion. If not, than Bioware has made a "true" and perfect PC version.

When an independent, low/no-budget game looks like an independent, low/no-budget game, it's not good. It looks and sounds (musically) obscenely horrible.
