That's it? I half expected this type of announcement to come along with something wildley unpopular. Like, each weapon comes eith 3 accessory slots, but can only be fitted with accessories you buy using Origin Points which can only be purchased via PayPal.

Where's my daily dose of BF3 drama?

Challenge accepted.

Ugh, this game requires Origin!?! The same Origin that REMOVES my game after 2 years(of inactivity) !?!

No Steam version!?!

Direct X 10/11 Only!?! I am not upgrading my OS for a game!

60 Dollars, for a PC Game!?!? That is highway robbery!

Even more unlocks, in a supposedly balanced FPS!? They keep making the same mistake!

/end over the top rant.

But seriously, the Origin system of games being removed from your account has changed this from being a day one purchase for me, to maybe 10-5 dollar bargain bin range. As it is, I am annoyed at having to time my previous, formerly non Origin EA games, to prevent them from suddenly ceasing to be usable(not counting cracks of course).

Wow, this game is gorgeous! It's amazing how the indie and semi-indie studios seem to be able to get such badass artists and musicians, but keep up the good work, Frozenbyte.

News Comments > Skyrim Using Steamworks

Ugh, simply can't get away from Steam in new games, what a shame.

Not that I think steam is going to go permanently offline at some point, but it invalidates buying physical copies to me.

On the plus side, I can wait a year for the 10 dollar or less sale, when the game is patched and modded to playability!

I doubt there will be any multiplayer, bigspender. It's Steamworks for DRM and bullshit achievements only.

What the... from Bioware? Lol. Just rename that studio already.

Also, WO:WoH, nothing can go wrong with this initialism.(the non-acronym type of abbreviation)

I'm still shedding bitter tears over how well DoW 2 is apparently doing.

Homeworld 3 will never happen because of this; a real DoW 1 sequel will never happen because of this.

Congrats if you enjoy this new 'rts' style, but ugh, surely I am not the only one who misses larger scale rts games?

4. Re: Mass Effect 3 Trailer and Screenshots Aug 16, 2011, 16:48 MoreLuckThanSkill
 
Man, anytime I see anything on the Mass Effect series, I just think of how much BETTER these games would have all been, in more of a BG2 combat style, with updated engine/graphics of course.

The last thing the world needed was another crappy cover based shooter, seriously. 6 person party tactical combat in a future setting could have blown every other game out of the water.

Poor choice from Bioware, but they've been on a downhill slide since the first one came out.

Considering how crappy the upcoming RPG landscape looks, it may be time to reinstall NWN2 again, and try this out.


No, a Deus Ex sequel is not my idea of an RPG. Opinions may differ, of course.

So, 5 games at once, but the studio is about the same size.

Shovelware? I'd hope not. I'm assuming they are aiming at a more polished sort of Indie size/level game, fairly small goal, and hopefully smaller price tag.

At the very least this should be interesting, maybe developers are finally realizing that nobody wants to buy their console port crap at 50-60 dollars a pop, for 5-6 hours of gameplay.

News Comments > Space Pirates and Zombies and Demo Released
13. Re: Space Pirates and Zombies and Demo Released Aug 16, 2011, 02:44 MoreLuckThanSkill
 
I must be getting old; I tried the demo of this like a month ago, it was mildly amusing, but more annoying than anything else because of the crosshair design and backgrounds.

I had trouble really gauging firing lines and so forth, also the weapons seemed to be wildly out of whack in terms of power/usefulness.

It reminded me a lot of Star Control 2, and I'd probably like it a lot more if there was an option/toggle for less involved backgrounds, pure black or mostly black or whatever.

This game looks pretty interesting, but it mostly makes me miss the Battlezone series. That was a much better RTS/FPS hybrid, about 10 years ago.

Unfortunately, they will most likely never make Homeworld 3.

They made so much money on their watered down, DLCed Dawn of War 2 compared to what they made for the Homeworld series, or even Dawn of War 1, that they are going to continue to produce watered down bullshit in the future. re: Warhammer 40k: Space Marine.

Company of Heroes 2 we might see, but it will most likely be less traditional or even Relic style cap point RTS, and more DoW 2.

Not interseted.....

for release early next year on Windows and OS X (via Steam), PlayStation Network, and Xbox LIVE Arcade.

Yeah, people seem to have glossed over this salient fact, Consoles have jumped into the mix.

I wonder how horrible the final product will be because of it. Not that I haven't already played several lifetime's worth of CS and CS:S, but still...

*EDIT* read the pro-CS player's review, apparently they did not instantly drop dead from playing it, so it can't be that bad.

I was looking forward to this game initially, but it is basically a 5 dollar sale game at best now.

1) Tim Willits.

2) $60 dollars on pc.

3) Content locking/blocking for used versions(I never buy games used, but I disapprove of this tactic, no servers are up forever).

Id, what a shame.

*EDIT* never vs only, it's late.

Willits is either deliberately lying or just ignorant on this issue, as far as his customers are concerned.

Also: moral != morale.

Hopefully Battle.net is hacked off the planet when Diablo 3 is released. Weeks or months of downtime will bring these "everybody is connected 100% of the time" people down to earth real quick.

Unfortunately this calls for a Rage/Skyrim boycott as well, what a shame. Goodbye, Id/Bethesda.
