Let's see...first you give them like $60 for the standard edition or upto $140 for the collector's edition, then you give them at least $12.99 per month. Eventually, if you play the game for 2 years, you will have paid anywhere from $360 to $400 for one game. Is it really worth that much?

Ask that same type of question to 5+year WoW diehards, and you already know the response.

I hope for the best for this game, I really do. If they shaved a couple $'s off the sub fee they would get alot more WoWer's and others comming over, for at least for a while... till they went back to WoW or there other respective MMO.

My friend says he's having an awesome time with the game in closed beta. But I'll reserve the right to use my own judgment for myself later.

My connection is 1.2MBPS at top speed with nothing else using bandwidth. I still remember my dialup days 2.55KBPS was like hot. Thank goodness thats over with now.

Yeah Blue I've renamed Youtube, BufferTube due to how long it can take to get a vid sometimes. Other times it loads just fine.

I know it supposedly scales to your connection speed. But even with my 1.2mbps ready just for a single vid it takes it sweet time sometimes.

It should read: It also feels good to be back on PC for now.

I'm sure they will be drooling like crazy whenever the next console gen hits and they'll say the same thing there saying here, and just change out PC for whatever the flavor of the year is.

Well they didn't fully copy steam. On my steam you need to scroll up to get to 1901 and on Gamestops' page you need to scroll down to 1901. On the age verification box.

Key difference. Makes them totally seperate and completely diverse Digital Distro platforms...

I agree with him actually. I don't care to play it at all and he doesn't care who plays it at all. Therefore Robert Bowling and I both agree we can't give a crap about who plays MW3.

I've stood around and watch them pluck holes into the wall of the city on my SMP server. I think its funny myself. I didn't really have a problem with them. There still creepy, finding them standing around a cave in the dark.

Ok so I got this, bought it instantly. It seems ok it has great visual's, the place is an absolute wreck of a pre-war city.

Introduces a new monster, sorta mole-man meets lizard people kinda of a cross over. Some new stimpack types, there called auto stims and there craftable, get to 50% health it auto heals you.

My main complaint so far is forced close combat fighting with deathclaws. Like 500+HP ones. Very brutal even with my high end gear. I know DC's are tough thats fine, thats the rule. But get them in a closed environment 2 hits and I'm gone.

Another more of a personal taste complaint is the other courier you follow here, won't shut-up. He rants and rants, when I reach the end of this dlc I'm just going to shoot him outright.

There's also a bug towards the end of the divide, where you get locked in place waiting for a cut scene that sometimes happens or not at all, and your frozen in place. I'm trying to reload saves to trick it into working.

I can't really disagree what Creston said about Old World Blues. I got so tired of the over-HP'd Robo-scorpions that I stomped through the main quest there just to make them stop showing up and so I could save ammo.

Yeah other games have fallen into the pit of just giving more HP for players to chomp through, and call it new content.

But I will still be buying this out-right day one. I can't help it, I love the game.

Man they were not kidding when they said the Divide was a total mess, in the lore. Thankfully these guys bring it to life in the engine.

CAN NOT WAIT, N.V.+DLC was one of the best time sink games I've ever purchased.

Aww and they did so well on Win7 too. But I know they need to change the formula up a bit, I can understand that from a $$$ stand point.

I'm sure it will be out of the way of normal OS functions, if not somebody will find a way to make it go away, and tell others how.

DX:HR was a good example of how to virtually remake a classic, bringing it into the modern era. Fallout 3 was also a good step in the right direction, it took New Vegas to exploit it more though I think.

Dev's should really stick to a few simple premises to updating classics like this. Update the hell out of the graphics and engine obviously. Streamline what really doesn't work anymore into a playable fun state. There called beloved classics for a reason! just keep what worked and made the game a classic to begin with.

I'm so torn now.

On one hand it could work. I liked/love Fallout: New Vegas, but I thought they throughly botched Fallout 3. So I think that redoing Isometric into an FPS if done right, could work. Note the word IF.

On the other hand they can bork it right out of the gate. Like when they redid Shadowrun into that cluster-F' of an FPS with powers game, WTF thought that idea was a brillant stroke of ingenuity... God help him, he needs it.

So I hope it works, I really do. I hate how they wreck our timeless classics, but there's an off chance it will work and be decent. Based on personal tastes of course.

Well probably any multi-platform releasing dev/pub. It just endlessly seems like they promise the moon to PC people and end up only giving lip service. Like I said I just get mad at being promised things and end up getting a cross between half-assed and nothing at all.

You'll know they never actually do any of this. They will never put in major work to make the PC version stand out. Its all talk, its always talk. We end up with the same crippled games we always get. And these guys get to thank what little "props" they give us, like this, for boosting there PC sales demographic on a pie chart in there board room.

Wow I must be really mad today. Ohh well I mean what I say here.

Wow 27GB. And that's just a beta sized number. Maybe it could be smaller or bigger for the final. Aren't these guys the ones that said there doing a limited release? Or something along the lines of limited amount of copies on launch?

Maybe its due to the sheer size of the game client, incase they end up having to do a massive day one patch? (combined with pre-release hype, I know...)

I'm having a great time with F:NV. and some of its DLC. 125 hours total playtime on my copy.

Honest hearts I.. just I dunno what the real point of it was. I played through it. I can say that much. I think they were trying to give a sort of Tribal vs Imperialism feel, I guess.

The Sierra Madre DLC I owned but have avoided so far because of that goofy exploding collar deal. I'll play it eventually.

But Old World Blues I enjoyed alot. The voice acting carries alot of its weight. But if you hate fetch quests you will almost instantly hate Old World Blues. The guy who does Doc Venture's voice from Venture Bros. is in it... its got that going for it.

Are all your dogs having stomach problems or just the one still? If he/she is still bad you might have to consider a vet if its been quite a while since you started a bland rice diet.

Anybody else find it odd he called them patches by default? or was it a Freudian slip? Programming wise they are patches, but there pay to play patches. Its early maybe and I'm just too tired; but I found calling paid for DLC, patches, odd.

I'll never understand Kotaku, they sometimes come across as PC is cool, but they always push higher end stuff like its a standard. Maybe that's fine to feed to unknowing masses, but it just makes me upset. You can get by so easily with stuff that costs half as much as long as you know what parts you need to accomplish the job. Frustrating.

When our dogs, have/had the runs like you mention is usually passes after a while. Just keep the diet like normal, and no sweet human food they love. If you do that sort of thing like we do. See if it passes and the dog goes back to normal.

One home remedy too, if the runs last for a long time, is to use boiled rice and cooked hamburger as there only food. The rice helps make the dogs stool more solid and normal, the hamburger is there just to get the dog to eat it.

It worked with our Yorkie when he had the runs for a week. A vet will offer pretty much the same solution, or use medication. I'd try the home remedy first if I were you.
