I can see how this alienates a certain share of the market 
Well this won't affect my decision making, I haven't moved my xbox in 2 years and not once has it lost its internet connection for a period longer than an hour, let alone 24 hours.
But offline LAN parties (and competitions?)... nope. Sucks for a lot of people 
A moment of silence please
Just saw it. Omg fuck NO. FUCK NOOO. I have never been more upset over anything game related wtf Snake is dead.
This is now metal gear solid 2.0, the old series is dead.
In a way it makes senses though, tech has progressed and with facial motion capture you need a better actor But still, DAYUM. I'm sure he can give a powerful performance but I'm not so sure he can sound like Snake... Richard Doyle did a great job in MGS4. Kiefer just always sounds like... himself :s
I need to lie down for a sec
Reminds me of the DarkBasic and GameMaker days 
Good to see it's using LUA and not some custom language! Upvoted.
We never asked for this
Alright, looked into the exact wording of story arcs and seems like it's different from what I thought it was. I meant that none of the different threads in the story line are finished, some even severed. Right now there's no closure and that leaves me somewhat dissatisfied after it now being the 3rd season already. I thought you could only call it an arc if there's an end to it.
I really like the character arcs though.
Jaime Lannister
has a good one, he's changed a lot and you've learned a lot regarding his past. I don't get that same satisfaction from the story cos I have no idea where it's going, but perhaps that's part of the charm for some people.
I said random cos it feels like reality-tv Westeros, it's just different stuff going on at the same time but I didn't find any deeper meaning so far. It's interesting, for sure, but the longer the series drags on the more I feel I'm looking AT the things on the screen rather than being invested in it (apart from the shock factors) cos nothing feels like it happens for a reason. I hope everything is leading to some sort of finale but how am I supposed to know that if I haven't read the books. Hence why I brought up the LOTR style of writing, you know what needs to happen and the journey is the story. I don't like being left in the middle of events, hence why I said a lot of it feels like filler episodes. Perhaps I'm just not intellectually capable of pulling all the different stories together and am missing something.
Stannis' war didn't go anywhere. Now Rob's war gone to shit as well. Iron Isles doing their shit. I dunno what the message is, if there even is any? Hence why I said reality tv, it's a very realistic approach and has its certain appeal because that's how stuff works in the real world but I'd rather have some idyllic (not sure that's the word?) overarching storyline.
dux It's because the plot isn't going anywhere and never has. I wonder if he actually pull anything together?
It's kinda cool for the suspense and what's around the corner and all that but there's no arcs. Or at least never any closure so that's why it feels there are no arcs, perhaps they'll come...
I like LOTR style of storytelling more
In Game of Thrones everyone just keeps on dying and everything is super random, it's more of a cheap shock factor imo. I mean that's cool for some drama but all-the-time, really? What's up with the white walkers and all that world-building, all for naught? We'll see I suppose. It's still enjoyable but it could be much more imo, I hope it actually goes somewhere. A lot of it feels like filler episodes...
Unless some twat spoils the whole of season 03 in a couple of words in the comments on a torrent... Yup, that sucked Couldn't unsee, just wanted to know if the quality was good
Anyhow, still a surprise... WTF!
BTW:
Did the dude that married the hot chick survive?
How's the performance? Is it like Arma, cos then I'm gonna skip it
Seir, I'm confused... Didn't this start out as a hobby/independent project? I never read the articles but now I did and they're referring to it as part of Techland?
Regardless, that looks sexy as fuck.
I can't draw for shit so I decided to make space art instead like all the cool kids on deviantart.
Dunno how to create a clickable thumbnail so here it is instead cos it's rather big.
I tried it 2 weeks ago at the office as well. The resolution is absolutely horrible, I doubt they'll be able to fix it completely in the consumer version :s
I didn't really feel vertigo in the rollercoaster demo but it was very disorienting, never before have I felt that 
In fact, a couple minutes later I was still drowsy, it seriously messes with your brain but you'll probably get used to it. I never EVER feel motion sickness by the way but I wouldn't really describe it like that either, just... disorienting, if that makes sense
The 3D works flawlessly, very awesome! 
It's promising tech, but at this point I'm still somewhat skeptic... At the very least it'll kick start more headsets in the future
That virtual cinema in particular looks awesome, nothing beats seeing a movie on the big screen with almost no peripheral vision around you to distract you, complete immersion
Stranger than fiction. Really good movie, reminds me of Adaptation
I disagree, I think it's a bad idea to push someone into a creative position which will directly affect his pay cut. Will he decide interesting/fun rules, or decide to design rules that will get him the most amount of money out of the project? Perhaps that's part of the experiment as well, who knows
But what am I saying anyways... I'm pretty sure I would be trolling everyone to the best of my abilities
PS: The selection criteria is also super odd, were they just trying to gain some easy cash so they could make that god-game? Cos otherwise they might as well just have made a registration page and selected someone randomly, no? What was the purpose of Curiosity?
Agreed. Since when is it necessary to sync camera cuts to every...single...beat...in a song?
Nice work though! Superb!
I thought bone was a reference to the dog and not One. D'oh!
Xbone. Hmmm, sounds good to me. I doubt microsoft was ok with "360"? Or were they?
I only play ARAM these days, probably since a year back... Can't be bothered with long normal matches anymore, you have to be on your toes at all times... Guess that means I have a short attention span The official map is a very welcome addition
Can you name your xbox? Or reprogram voice commands?
I don't want to say "xbox" cos that might come up when someone is sitting next to you (or the problem stated in the article above). I'd rather use something like...
VCR - play game.
Or something
They're not punishing you for not pre-ordering. They're rewarding you for your support. Yeah you can tell me how that is the same all you want but it's not. It comes down to what you perceive I suppose, do you feel you're entitled to more content? Did you think BF3 did not ship with enough content?
In the end it comes down to how much revenue the studio wants to make I suppose. Do you put 500 people on a box-product? Will that supply the game with a fair amount of content? Is 250 enough and do you hire 50 more people for the extra's?
Personally I feel we didn't take anything out of the main game. If the Operations team (expansions team) had not existed all the expansions would not have made it into the game. Back to Karkand would in no way have been shipped with the main game cos the resources to make it would not have been there. Should DICE budget the Operations team as part of the main game then and take less revenue? I think not since the box-product shipped with a fair amount of content and the expansions amounted to pretty much a full extra game. But that's up for debate...
On a different note... Yes I agree, the timing is a bit distasteful. But the business model can't be all that surprising now, can it?
