I watched the Gamespot review today and will read a few more. I'm definitely interested, but I finally borrowed Mass Effect from a friend and I wanna dig deeper into this first. I don't have anything against consoles but what I noticed is that you need a huge TV (which I don't have) to play comfortably when you sit on your couch. So i usually end up buying the PC version if there is one

even with a good quality HD tv, i still prefer pc versions of a game if only for immersion. console games are just... different. i can't explain it properly.

wow. i knew that american stupidity was deeply rooted in some of their extreme religious views. i was even warned when i went there and saw it myself. still, i can't believe this is actually going down the way it is. i almost feel sorry for the few americans who are trying to change the country for the better, but have to put up with people like this... i can't imagine how huge the ball chained to their leg must be.

the only solace i find in this is that their ignorance eventually will be the downfall of the country. i just hope that it does not affect the people that drive the country forward by that time.

so anyway, obama all the way.

i really enjoy that scenery, nurb... excellent work.

what you said above is the reason one has demographics for games. you tailor a game to a specific age, gender, etc. to make sure they like it. sorry this is a bit off topic, but none the less i think it somewhat relevant to the discussion..

i actually couldn't care less about you or what you think of me. i am not bashing you because i am thinking, "oh it's steppenwolf, i better bash him", i take everything for what it's worth. i've seen you post decent things at times, while at others just spewing bullshit. i don't judge you beyond what is in the context of the post or thread; and in this specific case, the premise of the entire thread is just "bashing", which i think is silly.

also, as it may not seem to you or other people, i believe everything i say here, regardless of correctness. if someone corrects me on something with valid reason, i take it to heart-- something alot of people could learn from. you think i am being arrogant when in fact i am trying to be purely objective towards what people write here. i don't consider the status of "friends", amount of professionalism or other when i read a thread, i just consider the context of it.

EDITED for less offense.

the forums are pretty open, we all have the freedom of speech so far as the admins and mods let us have it here. but ask yourself, what was the point of this thread? was it just to condemn a quote of interest given through a third party website? was it to spark similar hatred from the people here?

i, as well as, i think, everyone else here, don't mind people creating threads per se. but when they are created with no point other than general hatred for something as vague as a quote for a game that is nowhere near release, it's no better than having bible thumpers standing on street corners condemning everyone that doesn't believe in their faith, because of miscontrued sentences. if this was genuinely to influence developers for that specific game, feel free to tell them personally. i am sure they would appreciate the feedback better that way, than if they had to search for it on some forum out on the internet wastes. hell, you should know, "as a professional".

read it. i have nothing else to add.

bitch bitch bitch bias bitch bitch fanboyism bitch bitch

how about starting any new game with no expectations for once and i'm sure you'll all feel better after playing it through. too much fucking nerd rage here; what is it, that time of the month already?

come on dude, it's oblivion with guns!!! it can't be better!!!

also try making a character that maxes luck and charisma

One less game for a busy release week, I'm slightly happy.

i was thinking the same thing...

the plot and world of mass effect is amazingly well written, probably what i enjoyed the most in the game.

right now i am very much in the same position as you. i am taking a bsc in software development, which is basically programming with extensions in algorithms, datastructures and some database handling. i'll be honest, i hate it. there's nothing i'd like more than to just drop what i am doing now and start using time on something i can and will spend time working with rather than studying the particulars of a dictionary tree or other. sadly i have rooted myself in this right now, which means i have to end it (i am just about halfway through)-- mostly for personal reasons and pressure from various sources. i shame myself for being pushed into this in the first place and even though i enjoy learning, this is just not the way i visioned things to be.

either how, this isn't so much about me as it is about you. depending on what type of person you are and how strong your passion for design (and design of games in particular), you either drop what you're doing or you bite it in and continue until you're done. i have a reassuring feeling that i will no doubt find work in the games industry because of my passion and insight, regardless of whether i have a degree or not; but i guess if you had that, you wouldn't be here in the first place. if you're one of those people who want to seek a new approach for things, then be honest with yourself. if you feel the change and the that the consequences will be too hard to handle, then stay.

i have no doubt that these people are trying to help you the best they can, but i'd still take everything you see written here with a grain of salt; what i have written here included. while people may know the specifics of this industry, i reckon there's more to this than just the industry. in the end, it's your own choice and it is for you to make, not for others to decide or judge upon.

Pulling shrapnel out of your leg, manually bandaging your wounds, cars breaking down, weapon degradation? Fuck yeah.

ships with a respirating device as well, which you'll have to equip if you don't want the protagonist to suffocate.

Quote from 2d-chris

Restricting a team is fair enough, but potentially limiting all teams by stopping the use of added units (as we can assume 3 teams will all be playable) could be very much a major draw back. I'd just add those extra units for everyone playing MP when the new expansion are released.

in that case, people (whom i'd reckon mostly will be starcraft fans, and people who are in it for the multiplayer) will just buy the first game and not care about the expansions. of course this is purely pragmatism, but it's easy to predict that sales would evolve like that. in which case, of course, putting the 3 games back into one would be more beneficient.

jesus fuck, peris. that first shot could be a piece of concept art by you too. i admire the duality... and the passion you've put into this.

much love to the 'core

JUST KIDDING

Quote from Chunks

You should've gone in with some type of non-disclosure-agreement.

yeah i was thinking some sort of contract too, just so you don't get screwed over. not neccesarily just an NDA, but more of a general thing. i am too tired to come up with an example right now.

while ive always known why blizzard hate exists, i fail to see why this is only surfacing now. i fucking called it before they launched world of warcraft.
