Why is everyone so excited when the last game in the series was garbage? It's just more orangey brown afgan-flan romping about with little doubt. MOH has been terrible since Airborne which was still better than the most recent release, and at least tried a new approach.

Why does it always have to be a war that happened? Why if not is it the Koreans or Russians? Let the damn mongols invade turkey and you defend it with an ironing board.

Just increase the bonus damage to psionic units instead. Easy problem solved.

There was an askreddit post a few months ago to discuss the general DLC contreversy.

On it one developer (anon of course) did rather casually admit that it's industry standard for the publisher to approach the developers 3/4 in the development process and decide about how DLC will be handled. This is almost always (as he admitted himself) stripped out content, whether they admit it or not.

Also, don't preorder. Preorders are a way of them selling you...

More devs sacrificing single-player (and an old-school IP) for co-op. Multiplayer is inherently more fun because of the additional human mechanic, single-player requires the skill and fine touches.

Amalur is about 7x as large as Witcher 2 (I've played both. Witcher 2 was amazing but much much MUCH too short and small. Amalur was so big there are whole zones I never saw) and that seems to be holding up just fine on PS3.

No console is inherently better than the other, there are simply companies that line devs pockets differently. Do you remember the SNES for having an awesome cpu and memory? Naaah, you remember it having awesome games that defined an era.

Switching developers is the most trusted method of ruining any IP.

Hopefully they don't "Zone" new areas like in Fallout. Rather areas should be built on to the already existing landmass (or one of the other near by ones) so that it truly feels like a part of the open-world.

X360 Torrent coming in 5....4.....3...

(But srsly, 360 piracy is far far far more substantial than even PC piracy lately. 95% of the time there's a 360 torrent before anything else.)

Lulz. Even one-man-team emulators support a X360 gamepad. ITS API IS BUILT INTO WINDOWS.

Lazy lazy bioware. I can understand an FPS not having gamepad support on PC (Though there are some odd fellows who prefer it so it's still usually there) but a third-person action rpg?!?! Gamepads are perfect for that sort of experience.

Easier way to get it I think is to see it as %-based. Probably Nova does X damage if Barrier is Y% full. So it never increases with a better barrier, rather just with the barrier being closer to it's 100% no matter what that actual value is.

If they don't try of course they'll never surpass or match it.

Not running the race because you're afraid you won't win first place is the best way to never win at all.

You didn't miss anything. Revelations is brotherhood. No real or explained new big bad guys, in fact the whole goal of opening Altair's Library is never explained either. Ezio just woke up with a book fetish one day.

Sadly for a game called "Revelations" it gives almost no surprises and the only new piece of information is about the herpderp Aliens with a very nicely done CG sequence.

Very likely it will be garbage animus programs given they'd have to make up an entire new ancestor for this different guy and that's A LOT of character/plot work for DLC, especially Ubisoft DLC.

Most probable case you'll be S16 just wearing a hoodie outfit and going through vaguely familiar areas while the narration moans in the background.

"3D" isn't an advantage. More than twice the eye strain (so you can play half as long), massive chance of headaches, seizures (read as: DEATH) in epileptics (I'm one myself) aaaaaaaaand generally half the fps.

Also, can we stop calling it "3D"? Games have been 3D for a decade and a half now. Call it parralax or stereoscopic or whatever else you like but now they've suddenly changed the definition of "3D" to suit marketing blitz. (To ...

Ugh....how many times can Kratos convienently lose all his powers in the first 10 minutes? (Ezio suffered the same syndrome)

Though with how GoW3 ended continuing his story would be difficult, but not past milking abilities.

"the only thing this game has in common with that is the setting"

That's a BAD THING. Not something to advertise or alleviate fears with. Syndicate was fantastic but what we're getting is yet ANOTHER FPS "themed" vaguely like the original game.

Companies need to realize, the people who want remakes/sequels to old-school games want them to still be true to their origins. The people who never played the originals (COD generation) wo...

You shouldn't have to pay $15 for a game that relies on in-game purchases as its financial model. Not even from an ethics view but rather a business one. F2P/P2W only works when you have as many people passing through content as possible (thus more suckers/casuals/etc), which is why the basic client is almost always free in those cases.

This game has been in Alpha for longer than most presidencies are in office.

Oh silly willy. Gw2 IS REINVENTING THE FUNDAMENTALS. That's the whole point of it. Real-time aiming and dodging, dynamic events, personal stories, no subscription without being p2w, underwater combat and most of all....NO DPS/TANK/HEALER!

Of course this gentleman is deeply touched in the skull for comparing Skyrim to GW2 but you do appear to not be very informed about GW2 as the main reason we're all looking forward to it...is because it DOES re-invent the fundamental...
