The value comes in how you replay borderlands over and over and over. If you look at the culture of diablo or loot based game there is an emphasis on high level loot - guess how you get the highest level loot? By being the highest level.
The other thing is I'd agree in any other game (fallout 3 for example) but borderlands facilitates such constant replay there's a lot of room to have capped after capped character. There certainly is for me. Capping the game doesn...
I completely agree. I got screwed on those damn keys. We all know it's just loot but it's amazing loot I'm gonna have to grind another few hours to get. Not to mention I'm from the uk and the times these things are available are rarely social hours. Couldn't they just email them to members as a thank you instead of being like "EAT YOUR GAME CONTENT FROM OUR HANDS! MWUAHAHAHAHAHHA".
Seriously Pitchford keep that stuff to the bedroom or public libr...
I agree. If they did resign because of that then that's a shame but honestly? Bioware was pretty badly shot by EA and has been bleeding out for some time. Guess the ol' gal just finally kicked it.
You're kidding me right? Yeah let's punish the developers because of who bought them.
"Hey honey, you know how I went out a ten years ago and made a games company? And its last game shipped only 10,000 units and since then we've only eaten cereal boxes from the neighbour's garbage? Well earlier I was offered a deal by bethesda, or ZeniMax, an astoundingly well established and financially lucrative company. But I turned it down because they release games f...
I thought steam was raking in stupid profits? I figured those rumours were just that - rumours. I wouldn't pay any attention to them, Valve seem in an astoundingly strong position and if anything they're in the habit of pushing boundaries and expanding. Considering the consistent, yet tenacious, nature of this expansion I'd say they'd need to be pretty financially stable. The only other company you see consistently putting out the same quality (relative to the industry) produc...
Probably - that's a risk. I don't really care for it. I'm happy with the legal distinction between renting the experience and owning the game but I doubt it could actually work. Besides do we really want people who steal your account to have an easy and official way to cash in on your purchases?
Really hot, really accurate, really cool.
Firstly - who cares. Infinite keys would break the game and you'd be an idiot to do it.
Secondly - I'll edit whatever the damn hell I want. It's a game not heart surgery. Taking shortcuts doesn't hurt anyone except you. "Ooooooooh no you're going to get some achievements on a video game without playing it the correct way! Never has such a tragedy been seen before on this planet".
Thirdly - the golden chest and pre-order thing w...
No.
From aliens colonial marines to bioshock infinite there are a slew of single player focused games on the horizon that have me turned on. Not to mention the never ending stream of indie titles which are focused on SP - or all the rpgs that are getting kick started. Things like obsidian's new one. Also let's not forget big players like Bethesda who specialize in single player titles. They're working on something new and sweet, and so will any companies they own...
This article says nothing. There's no news, no point, nothing but speculation and theory.
And that theory never extends beyond basic argument structure. Lays out a couple of (astoundingly simple) points, such as graphics make people over look a game's flaws, and then helpfully lets LucasArts know that they shouldn't do these things. To give you a sense of the other points they are the following; borrow stuff that works from other games but don't be a copy cat...
"Hey Lara I need to cut open some cardbox boxes? Can I borrow one... both... are they separate...? Whatever can I just borrow your chest please?"
Just quickly but I'll have you know the Doom movie succeeded in terrifying me - it's actually really scary. I nearly had a heart attack at several points throughout the film... I think the scariest part was realizing that the Rock would pick up a cheque at the end of the film with a number on it that's bigger than what I earn in a year. All thanks to his "acting". Other moments like CGI that was worse than Doom 3's own cutscenes also kept me up for a few nights.
I'd consider this an adaptation of a novel, not a video game. Simply because a)book is at the start of things, so it's the origin of the ideas, characters, setting etc. and b) Hollywood has a hard enough time not laughing out loud every time someone mentions the word "video game".
Also - I guess the real reason I'd consider this an adaptation of a novel and NOT the game is because the game doesn't need to be adapted. It's great. If i want an inte...
I meant to say left their homeworlds/usual business FOR pandora.
She left to Pandora to find more about her heritage (as did Lilith) so it's clear there's something that connects Pandora to Sirens. Not hard to consider since it's home of the Protheans. Also Lilith is going to be taking on the role of the guardian angel so if anything a new siren coming to her for answers makes way MORE sense than a girl with a giant robot coming to her for answers... or any of the others for that matter.
And the mechromancer looks sweet - love...
I think it's besides the point - yeah some women attract it but that doesn't condone misogyny or the sexist attitude. If a girl walked up to me and fluttered her eye lids and asked for a hundred bucks in returns for some affection that doesn't give me the right to sexually harass her.
You shouldn't have to ignore or mute someone having a go at you. I've sat there and had it done to me before over race and country and it is not fucking nice to have done. I...
Usual reminder that a company is more than just one person. It's a pretty standard and fair reminder to make but sometimes it feels a little conceited.
Articles liks this are almost more annoying and numerous than articles talking about PC gaming dying.
Which is a shame because it's awesome. Up until now indie titles are the only games flirting with silly pulp fiction-y names.
Between unreal engine 3's domination and third person games all taking on the over-the-shoulder technique not to mention a universal push for the cover system and shooting mechanics established by GoW this is basically like saying "This game is going to flop, get 7 and 8's because the industry is over saturated and most shooters need to saw a woman in half just to stand out now, and then we're to reboot it again. Rinse. Repeat."
