Nice articles gdf, aside from just being annoyed at the advertising, I was trying to figure out why this shit seemed so popular; turns out it was just spamming.

Red Thumb Rethumbtion?

It doesn't, it was made by Rockstar Sandiago which hasn't made a GTA as far as I know. They made Midnight club and red dead revolver. It's overseen by a few of the people that oversaw GTA; but that doesn't have the same ring to it. Oh and dialog most likely cleaned up by a Houser or two.

One hundred percent agree Pirate; which is why I think Dragons age "moral" system and choice system and even party system was far superior to Mass Effects.

Yeah, and wtf, where are the zebras and giraffes?!

Miffy, I'm really glad to hear that. I found out about that opening while listening to the concept guys from mass black talk about it and was like "Is that in the game? shit, that would be awesome" But it's DA is on my other HD so I never took a look. I'll really want to play through that opening sometime in the future. I haven't bought the expansion, I need to get some crap done before that and red dead eventually takes over my life.

Was hoping someone else would post this, but it's been a few day and I think it's a pretty well edited trailer. http://www.gametrailers.com/video/launch-trailer-splinter-cell/63841

Not really restructuring Blizzard, just putting someone in charge of the president of Blizzard... which is kind of like a restructure. This may mean nothing or a lot, time will tell.

The premise of victorian steampunk supernatural detectives is a big draw to me, in any shape or form.

Just relaying what I heard from a few friends at Hothouse, whether it's true or not is any ones guess, but yeah, I'd normally say sales. edit: Actually, on second thought, this was something said to me a long time ago and things have changed, not to mention the PA guys probably would have toughed it out to finish it off if they could. So yeah, sales/deathspank potential.

From the sounds of things the PA guys weren't really into making a video game after awhile (who would? it's hard work) so this isn't that much of a surprise. Though I do like the guys art style and creativity in the universe, so would love to see that applied to other games, unfortunatly I doubt anything is motivating enough for him to do so.

Yeah, those Nach, but haven't met any penguins with any yet, they were hard enough with smaller stuff, lol.

Nope those are dreadnaughts in the screenshots, I mean the super large aircraft carrier looking things. I've only seen authority figures have them, but man, do I want one.

Yeah was having one of those off days at work commenting in the thread about the humans, lol. I really want a steam version so I can play at work during lunch though. I haven't got good enough to get a battleship yet though(if its possible?) I'd love one of those though. Just beam ships, destroyers, dreadnaughts(losts of fun) so far. It's been worth my ten bucks for sure, but I'd just love either new win conditions, different variety of ships, or a higher level injection of d2 gameplay where I can infinitly play the same character.

If you guys get a league going, count me in, 320 hours and basically the only FPS I played since it's buy in beta period. I'm not too shabby either and it has apparently made me shit in every other game (I tried a bunch after my failure in BC2 this weekend and ouch, any mechanic that isn't TF2 feels weird now)

You must be Canadian then. I carry an extra ten pounds around just to buy a friggin coffee in the morning.

It just seems like there was no tuning between aiming and scope sensitivity , which I'm going to assume other games have done because I've never had a problem to the degree I'm having in this.

I really want to love this game, but these controls... man. Thankfully I have a mouse that has some buttons to adjust sensitivity on the fly, but I'm doing that every time I hope in a vehicle or scope. Does anyone else get this? I'm calling it poor control scheme, but maybe its just me.

Decided to try this when I got home because of the thread, I'll give it a second chance, but on my first try I couldn't get passed the tutorial. That is correct. ...

Yeah they changed that like a month within release, if not before release.

I think the risk vs reward comparison between this and a hooker comes out in favor for the hooker, depending on a hooker by hooker basis. And +1 for the this shit is embaressing to gamers, the internet, nerds, and probably most men with a PC. On the other hand, if there was a site where girls would pay me to play video games, I wouldn't be saying a thing and hopefully raking in the cash. I really hope the internet drowns itself in a cheeto induced erotic asphyxiation one day.

This puts a smile on my face for whatever reason: http://www.cafepress.ca/+high_tech_bludgeoning_device,22225083

Bought in to the four pack on the weekend but only played a couple games(ea servers terrible) and I like the idea of an rpg system, but really hate the feeling I'm sucking becasue dude is level 30 and I'm level 2. Whether it actually is panning out that way or not, I'm not sure, that's just the feeling I get. Not sure about one hit knife kills either, seems a bit nob friendly. I remember being pretty excellent in bf 1942, bf2, and vietnam, but for the life of me I can't seem to get the controls correct in bc2. My mouse sensetivity is good for movement, but not fine aiming, and if it's ok for both, it's terrible for vehicles, and christ knows I forgot how to fly a helicopter since bf2. Also it kind of feels like I empty a an entire clip into someone and that might actually kill them... is this just me getting old and crappy at fps? Have I been playing TF2 for too long? I'm not sure, I should go back to Counterstrike and see how I fair to gauge if it's me or the BC2.

Me too! I still have that Nintendo power, unfortantly by the time I graduated highschool diginpen moved out of Vancouver. So by the time I went to school it was not as good and it was in the 3d era, I really would have still liked to have gone back during the Snes days though, man that would have been amazing. I hope by the time I'm 40 they have a camp for middle aged men like that.

Sorry if you took it that way, I ment no offense and I cleaned up my post quite a bit to make sure i didn't sound like i was on the attack or a jackass. My apologies. And yes, I was incorrect in saying actual influences, rather its my personal opinion and experience in what I think was their actual influences; in fact this topic has made me more interested and I will actually go talk to the art director about this. And I did check out Hellmens post, but again I'm not trying to argue, I'm graciously bowing out because I just wanted to say how I really like the art in this game.
