Is it odd that I didn't know this wasn't already out for PC?
I think I recall a bunch of hype, and then nothing... And that's literally all I know about it...

I loved the original Monkey Island, so I can't really imagine liking the new ones... That seems ironic to me.

LgFriess wrote on Dec 14, 2011, 18:57: Anybody know how open this world is? I was a little (lot) disappointed in some of the beginning areas of SWTOR. The space felt very confined. I understand they do this to properly push the story aspect but I'm just a fan of big, open worlds to explore (loving Skyrim). WoW initially gave me this "big world to explore" feeling.
And ya, I'm aware that SWTOR does get "bigger" as you level. Well, with GW2, one of the goals, since it has no end game, is that you can go back to early content, and still be 'challenged'...
Like City of Heroes/Villains, they split your level into two; combat and 'other'... So while you may be level 80, if you go to a lvl 5 zone, you'll get knocked down to 'effective lvl 8' or so...
Due to that, and since there is no story pushing you forward (in the open world), the whole thing is one big blob of quests (dynamic events). So ya, it will feel more open than SWTOR in that regard.
We'll see how well the system works... I personally like being able to 'go back' and rip through the content; like running friends through dungeons/quests, etc...

They say the first one keeps a special place in your heart for all time.
Creston Ya... I hate the idea of adding someone to an ignore list.. Because, the hopeful person I am, I'm expecting them to say something that isn't a waste to read, at some point...
But alas, I was proven wrong time and time again : )
And now you know it's not you hehe...

Hey Blue...
Now that I'm ignoring one person... I have a feature request...
Could ignored people's avatars be hidden at the same time the post is 'filtered'? : )

I read this the last time it was posted (or at least, the related, nearly the same content one), and it still makes me giggle...

I may be done SWTOR in 3 months... But that's still 2 months more content than GW2 will have...
I realize idiocy isn't contagious, but it still scares me how close you live.

I'm so not 'hip' with the whole Android thing... Ice Cream Sandwich on the Archos G9.. My first thought was... Ya... I guess if it was melting in real time, that could be a neat thing to demo/render : )

eRe4s3r wrote on Dec 12, 2011, 15:51: Just fyi - but i got all 36 potatoes in that portal 2 arg and the ENTIRE VALVE CATALOG for free.
Including Portal 2, as well as super cheap deals on a lot of indy games that were great fun to play
So yeah, bad marketing for you, a great gift for me and my friends as i had nearly none of the valve stuff at that point in time and none of the indy games even heard of. You didn't have to buy any games to get those potatoes?
Or do our versions of free differ? : )

theyarecomingforyou wrote on Dec 12, 2011, 10:06: I've really enjoyed the DIII beta. As Paranoid Jack said, it's the first game to keep me from playing Skyrim - I played it through to completion and was getting really into it. I should point out that I have zero experience with the previous games, though that doesn't disqualify my opinion. For some reason I missed out on Diablo and Starcraft, which I can only assume was because the C&C series took my attention.
Blizzard games are pretty much the only games I'll buy that aren't on Steam, though it pisses me off that the Blizzard installer uses P2P by default and oversaturates my upload (over 60kb/s), killing my net connection. Thankfully I have Netlimiter to limit the upload, as when I disabled P2P it dropped by download speed to 4kb/s. To me it's pretty sleazy to use the bandwidth of users, as Steam doesn't pull shit like that. Heh... my wife picks the absolute worst times to start uploading something to youtube...
No matter how bad ass your 'down stream' connection is, the crappy 'up stream' will kill it : )
I blame the Acks...

Xoxotl wrote on Dec 12, 2011, 09:33: What a disappointing trailer. The choice of music was... lackluster, at best. I almost fell asleep during it.
As an aside: am I on the only one who finds those "Please enter your age" prompts to watch videos and trailers utterly useless and asinine? Interesting timing... I was thinking about commenting on those age 'verification' prompts... They're damned annoying... And as they always have, even on porn sites, they don't actually do anything (other than annoy)... So I guess they're like Copy Protection for non-pirates : )

Razorclaw wrote on Dec 11, 2011, 18:33: really really hate this game already. which is nice, because it means I'm not going to buy it and then hate it. like with bioshock1. I enjoyed Bioshock... I actually have it on my desk waiting for a re-playthrough... Though it's been there for months... I wasn't a big proponent of Steam and downloadable games 'at first', but I really feel like having to put a CD in the drive is outdated : )
Infinite though, I'm not sure of... None of the vid's that have been on blues have excited me... But then, that could be more that watching vid's just doesn't give the kind of info I want.

Dirwulf wrote on Dec 11, 2011, 17:59: 10 hours? LOL. You obviously did none of the side quests, none of the Riddler puzzles, none of the trophies, none of the challenges. You probably played it on easy as well. You didn't even play the game, you rushed through the quest line and then pronounced your incorrect, lame judgement. Neither trophies or challenges have any point to me beyond ego stroking. Riddler puzzles were boring, and the side quests got tedious. As for easy? Assuming just makes an ass out of yourself. I would have to argue that claiming one game takes 10 hours, but another game, that can be beaten in half that time even though 'it took me 137hrs to beat the main quest' is a bit much like making an ass out of yourself...
I'm happy you got such good 'entertainment value'. If only you could word it without exaggerated misleading : )
As for Skyrim as GOTY... I think it's a fine game... And I think, if it had been released in January, it wouldn't be up on the radar... That's my 'beef' with it winning. I've made a similiar argument around new years before, and as I'm morphing into a crusty curmudgeon, it'll likely come along nearly every year : )

I found that to be pretty disappointing (too)... Partly because the music vs scenes didn't exactly mesh, for me...
Speaking of, having played through Shadowgrounds (both) recently, I really liked their use of music during 'frenetic encounters'...

I have no idea why that came to mind : )
I feel for you though... I enjoyed my beta time enough to pre-order, and stopped (to not waste time, ruin more, etc)... And I skipped the next round (obviously for the same previously parenthised reason : ).
