So say you play as Jason Statham, wrongly convicted of your wifes murder. You have some hot chick helping out. Just instead of a prison island you're in space? Sounds good. The idea of trackside banter with rivals sounds good. A sabotage kind of element might be neat too. Also ganging up with other racers, fixing it n such, but they can also screw you over if need be. You could really heavily revamp the racing genre, but it would remain to be seen how it would work in practice.

The name n platform. It's essentially a sequel, just with none of that pesky Sony-owning-the-rights-therefore-prohibiting-a-multiplatform-release stuff.

What's your source on that? I'm skeptical. https://twitter.com/#!/LewieP/status/72934611692433408 Head of Savvygamer, does the weekly deal posts for RPS n EG. -
Well I've since managed to upgrade it (though I'm at a talky talky part so yet to see what having double the vigour affects in battles). And yeah just overload yourself with potions n poof it becomes a breeze of sorts. Only allowed 3 at a time though :/

1. One of you, Harri I think, is pretty quiet. Whoever it was who's been playing MW2. 2. There's some weird clicks in the background. (and a skype beep a few times...edit quite a few times) 3. Main guy has sound all right, Shaner has good sound too. 4. I agree with the other guys, you need a sound track at the start. I may have access to some free royalty free tracks if you're wanting anything. 5. Vegas bit? mmeeeehhhh I'd shrink the "what you playing now" down. or make it more snappy at least. I actually thought quite a bit more time had passed than it had. Burning through your topic list isn't a good idea. Generally you'd stick out a topic lists to allow people to get versed in the topic matter. Just a recommendation the EpicBattleAxe topic layout is: -Intro/Banter for the first minute or so. -4-5 topics that are in the news of late, or upcoming/out games -"Battlecry". Each person puts forward their topic of choice, each is discussed for a bit. -Member battlecry - single topic chosen from their readers... I guess you guys can't much do this

1. I don't care, MW was never my style of shooter. 2. Major rival needs to die in a fire. Bearing in mind the EA solution to bringing down COD seems to be toss out as many modern war games as possible and oversaturate the market, disillusioning consumers n bringing the genre crashing down Guitar Hero style.

The Stun is later on though for Quen. I've recently picked it up. Going for a magic build. What sucks is my Vigor doesn't seem to be rising as I level, which would severely nerf me.

Here's the video. It looks like a game chock full of meaningless set pieces in a plot that most likely has more holes in it than Swiss cheese. And it will sell by the boatload. Not even michael bay films are as downright horribly bad as the Modern Warfare series has become. People give the game stick but I still think MoH has had one of the better campaigns for a modern setting FPS.

Bioshock does contain my most favourite Trophy. Irony (It's one of the few I even remember the name of. I jsut was like "Wonder if this does anything. And not only did it do something, I got an trophy for it)

BTW back to Dirt 3 Online Pass. PC version requires it too. PC version doesn't come with a code. -

Disagree. Like with piracy, this "problem" is best combated not by deliberately hurting those who "hurt" your business, but rather turn them into actual paying customers. They ought to think of a real system in place to get people to buy new games rather than piss all over the people who buy used ones. Ethan is probably of similar mind, he's just explaining how the publishers see Last Pass. If they stop people buying used, they bleed folks like Gamestop dry. If someone picks the game used then buys the online pass, it's a nice side-effect for them. You're well aware that publishers tend to suck at coming up with solutions for people to actually buy the game new, they'd rather just come up with plans to shit on everyone else (or aim to shit on everyone else n fuck over legit customers in the process) -
I'm sure the early discussions of it suggested it was an RPG.

You just linked to the same video Kenshi did yesterday Anyway my comments: Legs need tweaking. That map needs moving ever so slightly more in the corner. Looks nice enough. I'm not so hyped, btw whats the random blood ...sheet that seems to be the default weapon without the baseball bat. Isn't it meant to be an RPG? Or just an open world title? edit: have I just had this tab open for ages? edit2: Oh I opened it the same time as the witcher tab....

Monsieur sterling wrote a review of Witcher 2 http://www.destructoid.com/review-the-witcher-2-assassins-of-kings-201752.phtml You know how we're kinda bitching on the guy in the video. He's not the only one expecting him to hand kills on a platter: It is the first game that's required me to keep the manual next to me for a while. But hey I bought the game with the big chunky box so I kinda like I'm using it (which btw don't all versions come with the walkthrough? So it's not like they leave you completely hanging, don't know many games that come with the walkthrough bundled with the game) His opening paragraph suggests he's played the first, but could be a passing comment at how Witcher is regarded, so surely he must have noticed they've really massively reduced on the exact quest he's describing. I mean I'm in Flotsam at the moment, my quests have been rescue some guys, destroy some nests, n draw out n kill some insect queens. And all I have to supply is a Trophy, which you get enough of. The really small bits have been distract guards, steal contraband...oh and recollect the nights of before. It's hardly a repetitive game as far as quests go. Maybe it changes at the end, but it's a nice mix for now. It just feels like he's wanting a different game, maybe something of Canadian made variety (given his " As far as European roleplaying titles go, this is absolutely the best example one could hope to find." jab) Some of his points are fine, but the rest is pretty much why I wish people would stop linking me in the direction of D'toid n Kotaku. (of course Jim has written a pretty lengthy article in the past that the way D'toid do their reviews n why they use numbers etc is cos of Metacritic. Oh what's this, seems one site got popped up on the front page on their scoring.... http://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/the-witcher-2-assassins-of-kings) Jim can have some good points, but it's like he doesn't want anyone to take him seriously in anything.

btw the news of the remake, and with Skyrim soon I'm kinda tempted to drop Witcher 2 for a while n dip my toes in Cyrodil.

Yeah, grand scheme of things, if the person buys the used game or passes on it completely it means jack shit to the publisher/developer. They only see people who buy the game new, and people who don't. -

I don't have a problem with it, but I would have done more like it if I had originally thought it was allowed. You can edit your predictions. Still got a couple weeks left.

So yeah that Witcher video. Know how he compares it to Assassin Creed..or at least expected that. Well I had a peek on his AC video. OMFG he's the damn same. "Oh so they didn't put the DLC on the menu, meant to go into the game...guess I'll have to do that then". "oh so just expected to remember how to play. Well I have no fucking idea how you do the combat on here". Also what's funny is his channel is coated in Witcher 2 adverts

Ouch. Kinda sucks to shit out an invisible wall in the way. btw I hate that it doesn't have the "You have read this" indicator anymore. Ended up with three books on nekkers (I think one I picked up) Also can the Mutagens be replaced or are they permanent? And am I missing something or have the Inn Keepers disappeared from this game?
-
No I'm meaning as in it gives away a lot of the movie, not as in catching folks up on who this guy is.

Okay so I'm noting an awful lot of typos Also I've found some elven bath place, but it won't let me in. It's in the forest at flotsam, behind a wall you have to Aard out the way.
