All the radar improving augs seem quite redundant. One allows you to use radar through walls, which happens already. Another lets you track through walls, but I haven't tracked once. Why bother? That's what eyes are for.

Glad you are safe - but sounds like a normal spring here in MN. Go talk to the people (i call them morons) that live in the river valley that floods every year in Southern MN.

Well, I hid it last time but people don't seem to care.

Boss fights can be cheesed. Its called Typhoon.

And if you want to make it REAL easy, cloak and then typhoon.

it felt like short continuous vibrations. similar to hearing kids running around the upper floor of an apartment building

That's exactly like the one here in Oklahoma was awhile back. As a matter of fact, I first thought it was a (huge) guy who sits down the way just coming back to his desk (and in his defense, it's more in the way the building was made than his weight).

I can't believe Gamestop is making me root for Onlive.

Lesser of two evils, I suppose.

It also astounds me that, on a few other boards, I've actually seen a few people defending lamestop over their decision. It's like I've stumbled into bizarro world or something...

Gamestop is giving PC gamers one more reason not to buy pc games from them. It's not like they have a large selection anyway, they should just give up even having a PC section. Gamestop go back to where you make the most, ripping off people who sell their used games to you.

SWEET!! Zero-day patches! Good job publishers! Way to push your devs so hard they can't even fucking QA their unfinished products!

It's possible to catch every single bug before release obviously

I remember the days before the internet. Games had to be as bug-free as possible since patching was almost impossible after the game was shipped. Now with the internet, buggy code is the normal for games since they can patch it up later (if ever...).

The games of today are also infinitely more complicated and running on many more hardware configurations then back in the day as well.

Yeah, but newer games also made with better tools that can do better error checking, and hardware issues shouldn't be as big an issue since we now have API's that weren't available back then. But these issues (including many hardware ones) still happen today, more so then they ever did. Same has been noticed in console games. Newer console games have so many patches, many zero-day and this never was an issue until companies were able to issues patches.

Well, reboot doesn't necessarily have to do with story. They could be changing the character, redesigning the gameplay etc. I don't think gearbox is the right team for this. Give it to croteam or something lol. Gearbox is too "safe" for duke.

On the other hand, they might be able to go after Person B for violating trade secrets. At the very least they would probably get an injunction to shut Person B up too.

You might be over thinking this considering this is a "random" internet posting from someone claiming to have played the game on a friends computer. I'm sure the legal department will be knee deep in trademark defense on Monday dealing with the Exxon trademark infringement of the Deus Ex video game franchise. Ex is too similar and that is definitely something they need to get rolling on before tuesday.

I'm never gonna pre-purchase let alone pre-load (on Steam, no resale possible) a game anymore. I can wait until the first user reviews pop up on the net and then decide.

Thanks for the info though.

I'd love to see another Riddick movie, even if Chronicles of Riddick was a bit naff (Actually, I enjoyed it as a decent sci-fi flick.) and nowhere near as good as Pitch Black.
