I couldn't even get through half of the video. Super boring. Same marketing strategy as BF3. SP garbage. If they want SP, they should make it like 1942 SP where the SP was the same as MP except with bots.

THIS is what I want. They haven't done bots since BF 2142, though, and don't offer modding support for people to do it themselves. I guess I'll keep playing bot and coop bot matches in BF2 and UT3.

I'll get Arma 3 if it offers bot matches.

Best looking Call of Duty yet!

Looks like BFBC2, which I enjoyed. Hopefully it's a good 12-15 hours SP.

Graphics don't look much different from BF3. Very much an iterative engine update.

I wouldn't mind if the FBI had that power IF there was strict oversight, and IF there was a transparent warrant process. Currently, as the warrantless wiretapping scandal (started by Bush, continued by Obama) shows, without those things, it's rife with abuse.

Did anyone else notice over on the Mod Shops review of Bioshock Infinity that they gave the game a score of 4/5 stars. But in the rating categories they gave it perfect 5s across the board. Some please explain to me where these guys learned to do math?

According to their score card, it should be a 5/5 I guess they make crap up when it comes to making a final verdict and don’t follow their own scoring system. Weird!!!

It's been the practice of gamer reviewers to post some disclaimer when they do a breakdown of a game: "The final score is not an average."

Sad to see desktop PC sales declining. Hopefully the PC gaming niche stays strong. It's going to take me years to clear out my steam queue!

Regarding this case: You don't mess with airplanes, period, the end. I think this is a fair sentence. The guy did it twice, including a police helo. The sentences for screwing around with aircraft have always been pretty severe, and rightfully so given the severity of the consequences. This could have caused a crashes and deaths.

Regarding Weev and Swartz: I don't think Swartz serving six months is totally out of whack, but the fact that he was able to be threatened with 35 years is. Weev's sentence probably is a bit much. He got more jail time than the laser dude. But it's not reaching gross injustice levels. However, he too was threatened with 30 years in prison for exposing AT&T's lax security.

The truth is that the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act is a terrible law and needs to be reformed.

Give me a kickstarter based on the real APB and you have a deal.

Given that the original cost $200m to make, I'm not sure how much they'd be able to do with a few hundred K on kickstarter. And given the games rocky history, I have no idea why they think they can make that much.

The pole actually pastes him pretty good, but because he moved mostly out of the way and was at an oblique angle, he got a glancing blow. Looks like the bus frame got most of the impact. Still I bet he has a big bruise on his arm.

He got very lucky, and so did the passengers who could have been impaled.

They're shipping a game for $10 or more. I don't see how that's any different than most other kickstarters.

How is Stronghold 3 these days? I heard it was buggy as hell when it came out a year or so ago. Is the gold version fixed up and working well?

Yeah, not interested in Facebook anything at all.

As for PVZ2, I'm EXTREMELY wary about it, since George Fan is not involved.

I would be interested in whatever George is doing next, but I've not heard and Google isn't really saying.

*DING

I am not going on a sight seeing mission - I want it to be challenging - even though I don't have the twitch anymore, I still enjoy dyin and tryin.

Far Cry 3, even on the harder setetings was a joke. I just did side stuff until I was invincible.

Well, not all of us can get professional training shooting stuff.

Also, Infinite is eating Blizzard's lunch.

I dont know about you guys but I'm so tired of these 8bit games that have been coming out lately. Many of these indie developers make some amazing games with great mechanics & just god awful graphics. Often when I mention this in other threads I get the following "OMG it's not about the graphics it's about the AMAZING games these people are making" Ummm yea but I need at least 2007 era graphics to really enjoy the game..lol. I think minecraft is an amazing concept & would actually love to play it if the game had Farcry 1 graphics, at least. Maybe I'm just in the minority here?

I'm totally with you. And I say that as someone who loves Minecraft and who played Defender's Quest all the way through. It *can* work, but it has to be done perfectly. There have been too many.

I guess I'd rather have an 8 bit FTL than no FTL at all, but yeah, how cool would FTL be with complete 3 D ships, animations, and environments? And imagine Minecraft, not only with full graphics, but all the building and crafting in realistic 3 D instead of blocks. Miner Wars proved it could be done.

Anyway, this doesn't look too interesting to me.

It defiantly deserves many of those high rated scores it’s been getting. 9.6 Without a doubt.

So, IGN WASN'T bought and paid for?
