I don't think anyone expects MS to "reverse their course", given that the leaks pretty much confirm the console will be always online.

Sure, if Microsoft has proven one thing lately, it's the ability to bravely forge ahead despite common sense and bad PR telling them to do otherwise LOL Windows Phone, nuff said.

I have no sympathy for Orth, I think he was an entitled buffoon but his behavior reflects the way the company has been treating people for awhile now and the problems go deeper than firing one dude who spouted off on twitter.

Anyways I hope they do go ahead with the online only stuff and get hostile to used games, etc. I want to see Microsoft fail so they get back to producing a good gaming console first, a "leverage into other MS bullshit" product second.

Agree with most of what you posted, but my Lumia 920 with Windows Phone 8 is a pretty damned good device. I don't find myself wanting for anything else (former iPhone user BTW).

I don't care, more Saints Row is always a good thing in my book. My only exposure to it was a little bit of playing the first game when it came out on console, then SR3 was gifted to me last year by a friend on Steam and holy crap. I played the ever lovin' SH*T out of that game. It was amazing! So much more fun for me than GTA4 just because of it's sheer "bonkerness".

Any others? I'm sure I'm missing at least half a dozen other studios that EA killed.

Normally I'd say "Meh", but the last time I said that (for ME3), it actually came with really awesome MP, so we'll see.

I don't know, Mass Effect 3's multiplayer is very basic. It's just a wave generator kill all the enemies thing.

Hmm, hopefully this doesn't affect the double fine kickstarter project in some way. Hopefully this is just a post "The Cave" change. I don't think that game sold very well but I can only speak for my own wallet.

Ron's not part of the development team for Double Fine Adventure. Though it would have been great if he was IMO.

Been using a R.A.T.7 for quite a while now. Never have I had a more comfortable mouse than this one. And I love the "sniper" button on it, I use it all the time. Unsure if I'll be able to use a mouse without it anymore.

Haven't really used the side scrolling wheel though. Maybe I should set up a profile in BF3 to have it switch fire modes.

Mancave of the Day.

That mancave needs a much bigger TV to be reach true mancave status.


Yeah, what is that, a 42" TV?

Small... I had to replace my broken 56" DLP with a 55" LED LCD a week ago. It's in my basement. Which my Wife usually doesn't grace with her presence.

Which makes it a man-cave. But I don't have "props" of weapons from a console game down there. I just have everything to make my PC and console gaming comfortable and enjoyable.

Finally finished the game a few weeks ago.

And I was massively disappointed in the ending. Won't be paying Bioware any money to continue this game.

Red Faction surprises me. As well as Darksiders, Homeworld, Supreme Commander. How in the world were these IPs not picked up?

I pitched $20 their way after looking at some videos of the game. It's pretty good so far. It's got some bugs, but it IS in beta.

Lag isn't bad, at least I don't notice much at all. Overall gameplay is good. Graphics are good.

They need to fix quest bugs, but it's coming along well, and the game shows a LOT of promise.


It helps that the guy designing this also worked on WoW at Blizzard up until it launched.

That doesn't even touch on my biggest gripe (for every game in this vein since oblivion), which is their leveling/skills system. You can go everywhere and do everything in the game at level 5, without fear of where I am wandering... and the "challenge" never even remotely increases once in the next 100+ hours of gameplay... I just don't get it.

Fallout 3 nor New Vegas had the creature levelling system where it kept everything around your level.

Do this, start a new game in New Vegas. Now travel the road north towards New Vegas. Have fun trying to get by the Deathclaws.

So is it still snowing? And is it safe to say it wasn't as bad as it was being hyped?


It stopped snowing sometime in the morning here in CT.

We got between 2 and 3 feet at my house (just south of Hartford). I'm still not dug out after shoveling for over 4 hours.

Blue, that link posts a picture that has been confirmed came from a GTX690.

There are no real benchmarks out, there's just a lot of speculation.

Well then fuck the console players. I'm not limited by this shit with my 16GB of memory. Hell, you wouldn't be limited at 4GB.

Problem with what he wants to do is that it takes place in the same time frame that Force Unleashed does.

Be tough to fit it in with all that I would think, but it's possible. Hope it comes to fruition.

Think about that next time you won't pony up $59.99 for that AAA title... and remember the $100 you spend on this B studio crap

Enjoy Sim City online douche

Hey, I'm going to make a game better than wow, a superb theme park sand box with massive pve, but massive pvp on the side with FPS and unlock system like no other. It's going to have a grand story and so much lore you'll cream in your pants.. Just fund me $500 (the cost of my studio months rent) for a super gold supporter badge and free t-shirt.. My game is 80% done already.. But I am going to act like we are just starting.. Don't worry, you'll get a forum badge to rep yourself. You iN?

Oh I failed to meet my goal, hey wait, I just marketed it wrong.. Let me try again

It has massive PvP with a Solo-Centric Quest Line, set in a linear open world where its not P2W, but pay to dress up after making sure you have to buy our subscription to our f2p game, that requires NO MONEY DOWN! Oh btw I was the lead developer for not one, but 2 game studios that unfortunately just closed down and me and my dog rusty are going to make this ourselves...

I've yet to see a game that gets a following on Kickstarter that happens to be an MMO... I'm sure I'm wrong and there is something out there but...

Also, just because you can't see the point of Kickstarter, does not make it an invalid platform. I've pitched in money to a few games now that I have total confidence will release. Wasteland 2, Double Fine Adventure, Carmageddon, and now this game; ROAM.

Ok, i had to put my money where my mouth is. I backed it. This game just has too many possibilities that pique my interest.

I backed it as well, at the $55 level. If I can get a few friends to join me in the game that'd be great. Kinda looks like a social Postal type game.
