This Fox story is like, free advertising for them.

Just don't go killing anyone. You did well to avoid doing so while playing the first one.

So tempting as well...

There are plenty of pundits in the media with very little understanding of video games who are quick to link killers’ motivation to their gaming or film tastes.

But I never expected to see Dark Souls join this pantheon.

Well, it turns out that Craigslist killer Miranda Barbour is a fan of From Software’s dark, “death-laden” game.

Unless someone...has...some syndrome...Asperger or something...they won't mistake civilians for undead skeletons and they definitely won't try to hurt anyone for being giant flying dragons.

My father used to tell me all of the stories of people blaming teenage violence on Dungeons and Dragons.

There's a bit of Rorschach in his voice in some instances. Or is it just me...?

I wonder who the chick is.

Just got a copy of Knack sent to me from The Official PlayStation Forum for my contributions.

The first one was so good, and the second one was so bad. I hope they follow the Windows curve on those games, but I'll stay safe and wait for it to come out and get shredded, or praised - as the case may be - before I invest any interest in this.

For anyone getting InFamous: Second Son they've a nice viral website where you can complete games to get a karma boost in the game when it comes out.
For American residents they'll even send you a conduit test kit, whatever that is.

Second one wasn't bad. It was not as great as the first that's for sure, and the ending was definitely disappointing as my actions didn't seem to have a major effect on anything and if I had control over the game, both Fenris and Anders would have become moderate in their zeals due to me being a diplomatic friend, but aside from that, the combat was smoother, the interface was smoother, and I liked the first part of the game tremendously.

It was a static world, full of the same two copy-pasted dungeons with enemies crawling directly out of your ass and spawning behind you.

Matt8819 · **#1955** by **Matt8819** » Mar 07, 2014 9:20 pm

It fell way short of the first one for sure. The story had potential, but it felt insanely rushed.

Sent from my phone, somehow

Eh, I still enjoyed it a lot.

If the third mixes the combat system of the second with the lore and story content of the first than I will be super happy.

It wasn't the abomination people made it out to be. It just was a below mediocre AAA game that happened to have a very good predecessor. What they changed for 2 was worse than in the first part and the rest more or less held up. Well, that and it was very rushed, as Matt said.

Witcher 3 delayed 'til 2015.

Is delaying the new thing in gaming now? I mean, no one wants a mess-up like Battlefield 4, but this is getting ridiculous.

Not sure if its a trend, do not have such information, but if consumers want to get better value for their money it would be step in right direction. EA got in legal troubles this time iirc which is more serious matter than bitching consumers who are not able nor willing to exercise their right not to buy (from) what is known as "not working as intended."

As it was noted, with regards to South Park for example, what is possible in the software licencing business is not possible anywhere else. Reasons are understandable, and if not there is EULA, but only to certain extent. What could be called faulty product, or perhaps beta, is sometimes being released just to meet deadline and for other marketing reasons with hope it will be patched later. Back in days when this was not possible, say cartridges and other offline devices, publishers did not have such luxury and it would be interesting to see some numbers on mess-ups today and then.

I think the software licencing business is getting ridiculous in sense that there is lots of money changing hands but the value offered, from consumer point of view, is not adequate.

I want:

- to be able to re-sell any licence I purchase, digital, physical, supernatural I dont care
- to be able to get refund for faulty product
- to be able to try before buy
- to be able to rent
- and if I call EA support after being patient for month that my FIFA Ultimate Team I paid to play fucking 800 euro for was not working I do not want to get fucking Hare Krishna (sry India could be any fucking optimist) online to calm me down to tell me fuck all three times in row. Its technical support not shrink.

I certainly hope so. Unfinished games blow.
