| Note that these are all Xbox 360 reviews. If you go to Metacritic the PC reviews are scoring quite a bit higher, in the mid 80% for the most part. Considering the game was made with PC as it's primary platform, I don't wonder if the team that converted it for consoles just did a shit job doing so. |

Re: The $5 'pre-order' charge for SWTOR, I was confused about that myself originally. I'm not sure why they have the $5 charge at all, except to get some immediate charge on your CC since they don't bill you in full until the game is released..?
I would imagine so. Since they are limiting the launch (which is really the only truly "evil" and stupid thing EA is doing with SW:TOR) it seems more like a, "get a charge on your CC so we know you're serious about buying it, and you know you'll get a copy." Same as pre-ordering from a brick-and-mortar; you pay a small fee to guarantee that you get your copy, but it doesn't add to the total cost of the game.
That would make sense but when was the last time you pre-ordered a digital product and didn't pay the full price up front? I thought only stores had the 'pay a fee now, and the full price when the game ships'? So for a digital release, it just doesn't make sense to charge that extra $5. I'd rather pay for the game now than wait until release when I'll be broke because of xmas anyway lol.
Edit: I checked the FAQ for TOR and indeed when you pay the $5 you are paying a fee so that a copy will be available to you when you go to purchase the game (either at a store or on Origin). I'd personally rather you just pre-purchase the game outright like you do at.. every single other digital game store on the planet.

EA can suck it. You know Origin is charging people $5 on top of the game's price to pre-order The Old Republic? That's right charging EXTRA to pre-order a game!

In the end Blizzard could remove all but one of the classes, charge a fee for each level and make you buy every dungeon and they'd still sell two million copies just with pre-orders. It's rather pathetic, but it's true.
On the topic of 3dfx, I owned a Voodoo 2 12mb card back in the day myself. I remember playing games like Quake 2, one of the earliest to support a 3d graphics card and blowing my friends away with all the features they didn't see on their end. Such as the color highlights and the cool fx. It was an experience that changed the face of PC Gaming to be sure, and while all my friends thought I was nuts spending $250 on a high end video card, after seeing what it did to Quake 2, they all went out and got one for themselves lol.

Did I see a WoW quest marker that lead to a 'go to x area and kill x mobs' quest?
WTF Blizzard!?!? Are you actively trying to sour my expectations?
Torchlight 2 is just looking so much more interesting at this point. |

| Having just finished DE:HR for the first time I'm looking forward to any DLC but I agree, it needs to be more than an hour of content for $15. The game is, for me, absolutely the best game I've played this year. In a year of disappointments DE:HR stands alone (though the year isn't out yet). Any DLC will have to be just as good or it will garner a great deal of criticism. |

| DX:HR is indeed a GotY candidate. I have no idea how far into the game I am but it's an intricate game, lots of hidden adgendas and backstabbing. I plan on going through the game multiple times with different approaches (doing the stealth/non-lethal for the most part atm) and choosing different paths. |

It's companies like this that make the massive publishers look bad. They are making a fully featured game with the standards of the big AAA guys, adding in things players have asked for since the original, including multiplayer and increased mod capabilities and asking only $20 for the title. They know that at that price, they are likely to sell significantly more copies than if they sold it for $60. People are more apt to buy it quickly and buy several copies so they can play the game with friends.
The big corps should realize by selling games at $60 a pop (often for a 4 hour experience anymore) offering little post-launch support to their games and milking the customer base with crappy DLC that consists of content made during the games development (I.E. stuff they pulled out so they could sell to you later) and harsh DRM, they are only hurting themselves.
On a more personal nnote, with all the news about Diablo 3 and Activision/Blizzards clear greed, me and my friends are all going to get together and lan this sucker and have a blast doing it. Something we did with Diablo 2 and had a blast at. D3 is still on my list, but it's now pretty low on said list.

| How I would love another Might & Magic game. And yea, it wouldn't be 'oblivion style' because Oblivion got it's style from Might & Magic. If only Ubi would give the rights to a good Indie game RPG developer. I really wouldn't even mind if the graphics were way out of date, I'm sure it'd still be fun as hell. |

| The PC version of the game doesn't look to be out for at least a year, probably more and was initially announced three years ago (and you can bet they were working on it for many years prior.) A console port is ok with me, besides it probably won't be out for 2 more console iterations at this rate. |

AO certainly had an extremely rocky release and always had bugs that cropped up repeatedly. But AO was also my favorite MMOG of all time, even during those early days I had an absolutely blast playing and made friends in those early days I still talk with and play MMOGs with to this day.
And SimplyMonk I remember that patch. I used to spend a lot of time on the test server (which had a very tight and fun community) and that bug somehow slipped into the release candidate. Though there were things that often were implemented that we on the test server thought was awesome but people on live 'hated'. Such as the possibility of high lvl Engineer mobs having Slayer Droids. 
On the subject of the Secret World, the game is shaping up very nicely and I am not as concerned that it will be as unfinished as AO or Conan were simply because the lead guy at Funcom, Gaute Godager is no longer with the company and the guy leading TSW was the lead developer on The Longest Journey and Dreamfall, two of the best adventure games ever made.
TSW looks to be an amalgum of a sandbox and a themepark that is rather complex (me likey!) and gives players a tun of leway on how they play their characters. Looking forward to the beta! |

On the Raven sub-topic, come on guys, Raven has made a lot of very good games since Hexen 2. Star Trek: Elite Force, F.E.A.R. 1, Jedi Outcast (and somewhat Academy, though the multiplayer was 'eh' on Academy), Solder of Fortune 1/2 (mostly 1). I'd even include Xmen: Wolverine, that game was easily the best 'movie game' I've ever played.
Though I SO very want a new Heretic! Raven, get on it. Heretic 4 using Id Tech 5.
