Absolutely. The only thing that really CAN survive the translation process is content and "flavor." Everything else has to change, from the console-like interface to the levelling system.

They've got a leg up with the way they've been going with crafting and such.

It can work. But it's definitely not going to be Fallout 5 (or whatever that number would end up being.)

Better hurry. They're talking about limiting the number of preorders.

There was a whole "we'll email you in 48 hours to see if you got one" thingie. Maybe it's fake, but maybe it's not.

And the collector's edition is $149 (no, I didn't. that's more than I'm going to spend on the thing + subscriptions.)

Just was reading up on it and the legal troubles between Interplay and Bethesda. Unfortunate that they can't work together to create something awesome.

This Star Wars pre-order is absurd. Limiting a DIGITAL game? Are they afraid they'll run out of bites?

And a PRE-ORDER FEE? Are you ****ing kidding me? Even gamestop, which is known for nickle and diming people to hell, doesn't charge a fee for pre-orders. $65 for a MMO that you will then have to pay a monthly fee for?

No. EA - **** you. This is completely unacceptable and I absolutely refuse to support it.

Well, a legitimate reason to throttle preorders is starting server capacity.

Yeah that bit's pretty stupid.

I agree...I preordered it off Amazon for the actual price of the game. Got my early access code in about 3 seconds

I did the same. I also went ahead and created a guild. If anyone is interested in joining let me know. It is Sith/PVE

Playing the Battlefield 3 alpha right now. Little rough and EAs new origin service kinda sucks compared to steam. Also picked up Captain America, which pretty much ripped off Batman Arkham Asylum. Which is a good thing, game is pretty decent.

Bill86 · 07-22-2011, 01:46 PM

Interesting. I play games for the stories anyway.

I think I'll look into Captain America.

It's worth a look, it's surprisingly good considering it's a movie tie in.

Arkham Asylum GOTY edition 75% off at steam right now.

A video regarding a company that claims to be able to get rid of Polygons all together. Doing this would make graphics real. Really - you wouldn't be able to tell a difference any longer.

I'm not convinced that it is truly a viable option without forcing everyone in the world to massively update their computer...but it is still amazing to see.

Kneo · 08-01-2011, 06:35 PM

Preordered Uncharted 3 today

That makes Batman Arkyam Asylum
Star wars the old republic
Gears of war 3

Lots of great games coming soon

Trying to decide on Restiance 3

Kneo · 08-01-2011, 06:36 PM

Almost forgot. Assassin creed 3

Yeah I remember this last year.

I call Shennanigans. I see lots of fly throughs but no animation.

Nothing moves. I don't buy it.

Anyone played Epic Mickey? Really getting into this game despite the crappy camera.

I have the game and have been wanting to play it, but other games got in the way. I need to sit down and play through it.

Angry_Pirate · 08-03-2011, 12:49 AM

Just built a new gaming computer so I had to play Crysis 2,Modern warfare 2, and Black ops all over again

Specs? I have been considering building a new computer...but really I'd only need a new mobo, case, and more ram. I'm just getting tired of my case and my mobo is my weak point
