  1. I really disliked the dogtag system and I'm not even a sniper. The customizing of weapons is actually more limited than the first. In the first you'd pick up a silenced scope SCAR and next thing you know you're also holding a silenced scoped shotgun. In this C2 the attachments aren't so universal. (also they changed the fucking customize button for no reason what so ever. It sent from C for Customize to X for Xtremely stupid) In C1 X swapped between weapon modes, which I can't even remember if C2 had that (swapped between single fire, auto, and unlimited and very silent tranquillizers) Also lots of the same guns lying about. In the first you only had your original SCAR for so long before you ran out of bullets. The Koreans for some reason didn't keep stocks of ammunition for enemy weapons, so eventually you rely on their guns. They were still good mind, not like the game dumped you with ak-47s like most games do. I am curious as to what back story it gives since the only reference to the first game up to now has been Also I've not beaten it, but I'm further than I was in my original run through of Witcher (just to get on topic)
  2. 3D is on PC already. Has been for many years now.
  3. http://www.rockpaper...r-release-date/ It's been delayed. (could quite possibly be planned all along for marketing stunt mind) (also the new dates, US release comes the Tuesday after. Folks still scoffing at the No Oceans?)
  4. If something is in the news feed it's actually encouraged to pop it into threads if you find it interesting. Apparently he withheld the harddrive controllers, which is a pretty dick move cos without them the hardrives don't work. They're pretty unique to each hard drive. What part of you would think it's okay to dismantle the hardrives before handing them in? Unless you for some reason assume the folks running the case are total retards, then you're gonna get in trouble.
  5. Regardless of the porting skills of the PC team, EA will still probably manage to fuck it up somehow.
  6. It's not out yet: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/7.272625-Extended-Edition-Lord-of-the-Rings-Finally-on-Blu-Ray But I've bought this in spirit.
  7. It's actually 3 days (at minimum) Could be a couple of months. Depends on the game. But it's main point is that even on digital games, where you've got it preloaded, the game is on your PC, and yet there's an arbitrary nonsensical date in place that means if you live on one part of the world your game unlocks on Day Y, and if you live on a different part of the world it takes until Day X. What's the point? The game is finished, it is gold, it's downloaded on servers and in boxes at the local game store. What reason is there for the arbitrary delay? It's not like global releases can't be done, they've been done a fair few times. In fact COD is released on multiple systems on the same day and that's the biggest game launch of all time, so it's not a scale thing either. It's not the end of the world, though it is a bitch to have to sit through several days of American friends all lit up green blasting away at a game, sometimes even completing it, before you can even boot it up for first launch. (and it's not like it doesn't work in reverse few times too, sometimes the Friday release is first) It's just fucking stupid and there's no reason for it to continue. (though I'll admit with Dead Rising 2 is saved my skin a bit, giving me time to download, test, then cancel my order on the game) (and before you jump to the wrong conclusion like usual, that wasn't me)
  8. http://www.vg247.com...ansfer-service/ Whole Guild Server Transfers. I bet they won't come in cheap.
  9. How did you rip it? Also what are your "devices"? We've got a NAS and PC,s PS3 n 360's all recognise files fine.
  10. So a bit off the beaten track. Some of you may of heard but Limewire has been sued into oblivion. They lost (they're built like Napster so...) and now the various music n film companies are coming in circling like vultures to claim damages. http://www.law.com/jsp/cc/PubArticleCC.jsp?id=1202486102650&Manhattan_Federal_Judge_Kimba_Wood_Calls_Record_Companies_Request_for__Trillion_in_Damages_Absurd_in_Lime_Wire_Copyright_Case The URL shortening will obscure the amount that they requested, but the "national debt" is used as a measuring stick. Should give a hint.
  11. I have some news of the PC version. In other news I'm going to borrow Whiplash off my sister over summer.
  12. See there was this feeling that it was meant to be watched stoned. But yeah I watched it and it wasn't outright bad or anything but there's nothing that would compel me to watch it again.
  13. Was just "Elder Scrolls 5" with subheading of "Rumour and Speculation". Threw in the proper name, I imagine "skyrim" is much easier to spot.
  14. Sorry, was just passing by and the old title was bugging me. Gave the OP a once over while I was there too. Also have we really not had a peep on this in the past month. They can jsut release a trailer and settle on their laurels probably until launch and still sell a shit ton. Just didn't expect them too. Least it's not as bad as Gears 3.
  15. I won't be getting retribution for a while, but I will be getting DOWII:Gold some point this week or early next. Won't be playing properly for a while though except to give it a spin. I'll dump my name on here some point.
  16. So I watched Big Lebowski. Didn't see much special in it.
  17. http://games.slashdot.org/story/11/03/23/0534222/Rock-Paper-Shotgun-Call-For-Worldwide-Game-Release-Dates So it turns out, Slashdot works in pretty much the same way as N4G.
  18. I wonder how many console only gamers see mentions of "use console commands to blah blah" on PC games and don't understand it has fuck all to do with consoles :P

    2. 「Advent Chaos」

      「Advent Chaos」

      Heyyy p4 I tried that once and it worked, but yeah I probably shouldn't have. Or anything with a USB port.

    3. Cyber Rat

      Cyber Rat

      Say what you want about console gamers, they get pirate releases faster and don't need to go through shitty DRM.

    4. P4: Gritty Reboot

      P4: Gritty Reboot

      Every gaming system has some sort of DRM, and it looks like it's only going to get worse until publishers wise up.

    Trade Shows

    Want to go to Blizzcon? Don't want to have to pay? Blizzard have a 20th anniversary competition on http://sea.blizzard.com/en-sg/company/about/b20/contest.html Open to NA and Canadian residents only (minus a few states/regions) Few other prizes too, but Blizzcon is the main one.
  20. Yeah dudes EA does have a [thingy] of letting the studios pretty much work on their own. They'll nudge in some areas like what games you can and can't make, but other than that have general creative freedom. If you can't play Crysis 2 later down the line and the day before you'd just dropped a few comments on MyCrysis, then that'd be EA's doing
  21. http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2011/03/23/flock-together-free-pc-angry-birds/ Free Angry Birds for PC.
  22. Yeah probably FFIX. I can "play" through the game just listening to the soundtrack.

    Misinformation

    tbh I think a lot of the misinformation with the 3DS and "glasses free 3D" is down to the press in general not really understanding it all on a technical level. It's treat as some technical milestone that Nintendo have managed to create a device with a 3.5" screen that displays 3D to one person at a time. How come so few people click that your TV is much much bigger and watched by more than one person at once. Do people just assume that all the TV makers have this technology at their disposal and despite the stigma of glasses 3D continue to put out TV's that need glasses instead of glasses free 3DTV's? Also I wish folks won't notice how damn insensitive they are complaining about having to use glasses to watch the cinema or TV. Boo-fucking-hoo. I have to wear glasses all the time.

    Steam

    Actually you have to sign in with the client at least once to tie your accounts. Also last night I properly hooked up my Steam account to Raptr (so it imports all your Steam stats, not just what games you have and achievements.) It's slightly messed up my New Vegas play time
  25. Well Tali/Badmin has 55hrs, Shadow (an IRL mate) has 35, you've got 28, MaliciosH at 13, Battlemoose at 11, Mr GOH at 10hrs and Brainboy at 4hrs
