It's no longer FarCry/Crysis to me now that the jungle/water is gone.

There's the central park in NYC - no jungle though. I welcome the change, but if this is all their new engine can do then I'll have to pass. Show us the PC screenies folx, come on...

the Mass Effect 1 + 2 combo is tempting, I've never played the 1st one.

Terrible graphics?!? WTF?!? I'm still trying to stuff my tongue back in my mouth and wipe up the dribble...you must be kidding...

then you obviously need to put you console aside and get a decent PC. Terrible graphics indeed. Why they are showing the crappy console screenies instead of the PC screenies is beyond me. Crysis (1) on PC looked better than that...

Next week on "How we can make Bioshock 2 even LESS interesting to you : it rapes your little sister!

fixed

Bringing Multiplayer to BioShock was a daunting task between the tech (there was no multiplayer support in the codebase from the first game) and the expectations of the community. Either you try to do everything and so nothing feels finished or you focus your efforts to do a smaller number of things really well like an accessible online experience. We chose to spend the time we had creating a solid game foundation and unfortunately that did not include LAN play or dedicated servers.

biggest truckload of nonsense I've ever heard. But wait, it came out of Elizabeth 2K's mouth, oh well... no surprise here.

you think that it stopped the game being a huge hit? because I assure you it had zero effect. Outside internet messgeboards, the game is a big hit and very profitable.

got any proof for your statement? Maybe the console versions sold really well; not the PC version. The 2K forum was full of very very pissed users and I'm sure they haven't forgotten about the Securom fiasco. That said, even I did buy BS1, when its decrapification had reached an acceptable level, thus contributing to its oh-so-great sales numbers. Big deal... not.

No GFWL or installation limits for me folx, no way.

So as long as Elizabeth at 2k isn't totally incompetent then we should have no install limits in Bioshock 2 at all on any platform.

the problem is, however, that Elizabeth 2K IS totally incompetent (she has always been).

niiiiiiice! Guess I have to wake my level 50 Mordecai from his digital hibernation after all. Mad Moxxi was pretty much useless for single-player gaming. And the Zombi Island was too easy for a ~lvl 50 character, took me only two hours to beat this DLC.

Even P.R. lady that works for 2kgames doesn't sound like she knows what's going on.


That's Elizabeth - she's your typical clueless company shill.

I'm surprised she's still employed.


I couldn't agree more. When they released BS1 she had absolutely no idea about anything and was of ZERO help, especially to Securom-frustrated people on their forum. Miss 2K Elizabeth was one of the reasons why I quit posting on the 2K forum.

The piracy problem will not be solved, but it sure will be a lot less since it is harder to do on the console than the PC. Especially when it comes to multiplayer.

You don't really believe that, do you? Guess what happens if they manage to kill PC gaming. Piracy groups will turn to consoles completely, and increased competition will make them better. Some scene groups that started back in the 80s on good old C64 are still alive an kicking - on PC. The whole ANTI-PC war some publishers are fighting will backfire, and big time.

they know they can screw PC customers (and they will continue to do so) as long as they sell enough console copies.

I bet if there's going to be a Bioshock 3 it'll be for console only, in fact I'm surprised that they even released a PC port of BS 2.

And this isn't just about Bioshock - 2K is so in bed with Securom and GFWL, almost every game they publish is infected with this crap.

Wow, gaming has become really expensive these days. Almost 300 bucks for an "unlimited license", that's basically what it is. They're trying to make this look like a bargain because they won't be reaching into your pocket every month anymore. If it turns out the game doesn't make enough money they'll shut the whole thing down... Thanks but no thanks.

News Comments > Diablo III After 2010?
13. Re: Diablo III After 2010? Nov 12, 2009, 14:45 Lord Tea
 
so where's the news in that?

On the Giant Bombcast they said that at Blizzcon Blizzard specifically said Diablo III would NOT come out in 2010, so 2011 at the earliest.

exactly. Back then the Blizzard CEO announced two major titles for 2010... StarCraft II and WoW: Cataclysm.

Face the fact folx.

"Eh, by which timezone though? Cause if you go by Valve time, people in Europe are gonna be pissed."

People in Europe are always pissed because they get stuff late, censored, overpriced or simply not at all.

Edit: buy Torchlight! It totally reminds me of Diablo I (OK it's from the folks who made it) = one of the funnest hack'n'slash titles ever released.

since an XP-upgrade path is not supported you can install the upgrade versions on a blank HDD as well, I pre-ordered my Win 7 Premium upgrade copy for $50. Student versions can be downloaded for $30 - which is dirt cheap for a new OS imo.

I've been testing the beta for a few months on 64 bit Win 7 and Vista.

It usually sits in the background not taking a lot of resources, and it actually detects/removes the bad stuff (it detected and warned me of several infected or suspicious websites, and it successfully removed a couple of trojans).

MS updates the MSE virus and malware database almost daily, these little downloads don't require a reboot of course.

What I like in particular is that the thing is completely free and compatible with all the recent OS's, XP, Vista and Win 7

Only thing i want now, is Elite 4 a new Elite with todays gfx and
same style of gameplay of old would be awesome!!

I'd love that too but a game of such complexity and depth wouldn't sell well - this is the fast-food console generation of 2009....

the Core i7 860 seems to be a great chip with excellent bang per buck ratio. Still, I'll wait until new steppings are out that facilitate overclocking. Anandtech said the new beasties are more difficult to overclock than Bloomfields....

Gogamer has the retail game available for pre-order for $18

nah, it's $44.90 + shipping @ GoGamer. Would have been too good to be true.
