Switching engines! What could possibly go wrong with that?

And don't even get me started on Origin. It downloads an installer rather than the game files, which is needlessly time consuming and requires additional hard-disk space (not that it's expensive). But it only downloads the base game, so you need to install patches separately. And EA games still require the EA Download Manager, as they haven't integrated the functionality. I mean, it's like we back to 1998 all over again! There's a reason Steam dominates digital distribution and a large part of that is elimination of tedious installers and manual patches.

Boy, it's SO unbelievable how people could have something against shitty Digital River Storefront #328 Origin!

Though I have to say that being required to Alt-Tab out of the game to join a new MP game through your browser+plugin has to absolutely take the trophy for smoothness.

That Ass Creed link isn't right, Blue. Points back here.

Whoops, sorry. It's fixed now.

Is third person cover really that much more immersion-breaking than cut-scenes?
Than picking a line of dialogue from a choice of several?
From weird lockpicking/hacking mini-games?


You guys must have a much more delicate sense of immersion than I do. Do you feel less immersed in books when you have to flip pages? And are these games really that immersive, period? Do you really feel like you're Adam Jensen and looking out his eyes, seeing what he sees, thinking what he thinks, smelling what he smells?

I can't recall if I pre-ordered, but I am just goin to rent this on the xbox anyway....I can't justify 60.00 for a console game, as I think the preorder was only 40.00 on greenmangaming.

I find it amazing how people still do not know why PC gamers are pissed off.

I guess I'm confused... KAOS makes Homefront, Homefront is released, KOAS is closed, but Homefront made enough money to bankroll a sequal within 6 months of release?

Kaos was New York based, it is incredibly expensive to put up a studio in many parts of the US in general but New York more than most. Like many things it is cheaper to outsource to foreign corporations both from a wage and tax outlook.

I don't think Crytek can do any worse with the IP so whatever I guess, let's just hope they don't add jungles and aliens to it for no reason. I didn't really care for the first game anyway.

Terrible decision.

Funny thing, despite how out of place these fights were/are, we will probably be begging for something this good, when/if we play Rage.

Agreed.

Whenever I hear people bitch about DLC costing $10, I like to remind them that the lunch that gave them the runs for four days cost more, and gave far less.

^D^

Who pays more than $10 for lunch?
