I'm wondering if there was much paraphrasing on Eurogamer's part that would explain something lost in translation. Otherwise, well and good that they value honesty before marketing, albeit they're not really selling it.
I reserve buying hard copies of games I'm particularly interested in, so the size of the game isn't an issue for me. I can understand the size obviously being an issue for some digital download users. The changing of times I suppose.
Have to say I was sadly disappointed after experiencing Bad Company 2. I stopped playing BF3 due to varying degrees of suck. It was only little things here and there, but everything added up.
I've played, but never finished, Divine Divinity. Pretty awesome game, even if the perspective was a little wonky. The new game appears to have a resemblance to the original Dungeon Siege, which was all kinds of awesome. Larian definitely deserve credit for the colossal DKS patch they released, similar to Witcher Enhanced editions.
I doubt they would make a point and click adventure game, the market in 3rd or 1st person rpgs is more profitable.
I remember finding the 2011 E3 demo (work in progress) pretty unimpressive, and yet Randy was so proud of it. This, along with his idiotic commentary didn't sell me. Like all Alien FPS before, expect this to be linear and scripted (not necessarily a bad thing). Expect Quicktime events, because mashing mouse1 is SOOO fun. Expect Randy to deliver PR bull.
The new trailer looks more impressive than 2011 E3 demo, but I'm not sitting on the edge of my seat for this one. Once released, read read read the reviews, then choose to buy.

Steam required Rage to patch 15 gig before I was able to play. I never used Steam very much in the past, but recently I've learned of their autopatch bs which screws my games like Skyrim and AVP2.
Get ready for day 1 Fluffy Panda Companion DLC
I don't know how many months it has been since release, 5-6 months lets say. I'm still having random dropouts and connection problems, and I'm not the only one. Pretty pathetic that this hasn't been cleared up yet.
And while the game has a few bugs, it's mostly the insincerity and disregard the developer and publisher have for its community that really bothers me.

I haven't read the books, but I have watched some of the TV series - very well done if only there wasn't so much soft-core porn and nudity. The game looks alright. I haven't heard of the development studio before, but I hope they can pull it off, there's certainly a lot for them to work with. Shame the release date will be overshadowed by Diablo.
Pirates (I would assume is related to age) are mostly very immature. I know people who can easily afford to buy games but choose not to. They justify their actions using arguments about inflated prices, DRM, or some dislike for the developer/publisher.
The majority of pirates probably fit this description, and also probably make up most of the complaints against CD Projekts actions. I see the recent actions of CD Projekt as an act to battle piracy through faith.
In addition, seeking justice through legal means would probably cost them more than they can spare, and are more suited for larger companies like EA and Activision. Sad but true.

Despite losing the Australian retail market for this game (I'm unsure if electronic sales will be affected), I can see this publicity working in EA's favour.
The original Soldier of Fortune was plastered with warnings all over the retail box, though that didn't deter my parents, and I only wanted it more. Only a little persuasion was needed to convince my dad to get it for me.
I still haven't killed anyone IRL.

The rights to the Stalker series may be sold, so the series may yet be saved. I'd imagine the franchise is something that Ukrainian studios are quite proud of, so they'd like to keep it local. Pray it's not EA or Activision that claim it.
2 gigabytes? Anyone else?
From what I've seen so far, it's shaping up to be what I had hoped Human Revolution would be. I was REALLY impressed with Dark Athena and the included remake of Butcher Bay, so I am hopefully optimistic for this game, however EA's involvement leaves me with caution.
Is the EA CEO going to compare this to CoD as well? Is is going to be better? More realistic?
I'm going to take the stance to not care until the game is released.

I never had any problems with my Gigabyte 285 GTX. But I now own a Gigabyte 560ti SOC rev 1.0, and about 6 months after buying it TDRs galore. The Witcher 2 was barely playable, so was Anno 1404, Civ V, FarCry 2, and now Battlefield 3. I've done everything possible to find a solution. I won't ever buy an overclocked card again, most likely won't buy Gigabyte again, and may not buy NVidia again.
Disappointing.

I think the reason Bethesda are acting can be explained as follows.
A while back, a fan made film based on the Max Payne games was close to being released. 20th Century Fox, because of their upcoming Max Payne cinematic release, closed them down through the courts.
In the instance of Mojang, Bethesda are paranoid that the use of 'Scrolls' will have legal ramifications on their use of the same word in their licensing.
Its a two way street, and a lot of money is at stake. If the tables were turned, guaranteed that Bethesda would close Mojang's 'Scrolls' in a heartbeat.

Think of it this way.
If Dead Rising = Half-Life, Dead Rising 2: Off The Record = Blue Shift

I don't think they intend to release this on PC.
