Yeah I'm just playing alone, seems everyone's just picking their favorite carry.

It's a shame that you're in Canada, otherwise you could play with us Europeans and have the honor of letting me lose the game for you.

I think the world in Fallout 3 was more engaging. I've only played 2 hours or so of Skyrim but every character speaks absolute fantasy herpiderp and the landscape is an eye-sore when viewed from a bit of a distance. It's always met with /careface.

Now Fallout... the world seemed more interesting somehow and the writing was just plain better imho. Maybe the guns helped... don't know.

But that gal is pretty hot though...

There are a few options I didn't fully understand what you meant:

Reward (needs to be clarified?)

Symmetry

Risk

Balance (in campaign?)

Interest

Fairness

The questionnaire could use a few lines of descriptions to help avoid questionmarks

I've eewatched the trailer a few times... is that theme an original composition? If so; SUPERAWESOME. If not, regular awesome.

This just seems... amazing. I'm really excited about it!

Oh please tell me the story, characters and atmosphere will be polished to be on par with previous games... because that gameplay looks satisfying as fuck and it would be a shame if the rest of the game wasn't up to scratch.

HOLY SHI----

Ugh.

Just.

UGH.

And it's a very efficient way to ruin a good movie.

The movie wasn't about stopping a bomber imho. Colter isn't kiefer sutherland lol. It was about the tech and Colter imho. So I loved the way the story unraveled the implications of the tech and how Colter chose to deal with those implications. Very underrated film.

But I agree that the ending was a bit too cheery... would've liked a more mysterious touch.

Man, I loved Source Code... why do you think they should've trimmed it down Mazy?

To keep things open-ended or what? Or less "happy-ending lalala"

What is it with people not being able to enjoy that film?

It's just mindnumbing visual porn with a fantastic soundtrack.... I guess it's more compelling if watched in a cinema though.

To be fair Sentura, Origin isn't as intrusive as it may seem at first. Whenever I play bf3, origin launches automatically when I join a server. As soon as I'm done, I exit origin.

When I played Dead Space 2 on origin, it didn't work. So I just played the game through the .exe in the folder. Didn't even have to run Origin. In fact, I added it as a non-steam game in Steam.

Taylor, where do you work right now? I've never picked that up

Yeah, I voted for Mage Rage. The other names could, unfortunately, be misinterpreted as names for webbased shitgames with cleavage-based advertising (the lower three at least).

That is a possibility e-freak. A possibility indeed.

I wonder if this decision really pays off. I don't know how many people there are out there who will refuse to buy it on origin or how many who will refuse to buy anything that's not on Steam for that matter.

But people avoiding the product out of principle is not the only possible way in which you lose buyers. Having the game on Steam means more exposure which naturally means more sales, the question is of course just how many sales it will cost them. But add to that the popular Steam sales which can really help drive in revenue long after the release of the game and you have a situation where you could possibly make more money if the game was available on Steam (even though you earn less per copy).

Then again... Steam is very "restrictive" and doesn't allow you interact with customers the way you want.

I wonder when I'll get tired of this game. Just played 5,5 hours last night with a full squad of mates (you gotta love scoreboards like these).

In that particular game we realised it was actually pretty fun to have everyone use shotguns and assault like fucking madmen. We also tried only using MG's and not being allowed to aim (only hipfire). Was pretty fun too.

What I'm pretty angry at DICE for atm is that it's so easy for jets to take down choppers. I have no idea why they buffed that, it was perfectly fine before. My opinion is that a jet always should have to take down a chopper in atleast two strafing runs (shoot, swoop around, shoot again). Right now it's ridiculously easy just to focus fire down a chopper in a few seconds... and I say that both as a jet- and chopper pilot.

Other than that...

Have only finished the second, but I fully agree!

I don't think the notes provide that much insight either. I would go for ordinary screens and use an accompanying, not necessarily long, article explaining your work method and reasoning imho.
