So, what your quote is saying, is that they are willing to sacrifice profit as long as they can laugh at the fans they're screwing over?

Han Solo, C3PO, and Chubaba love triangle, anyone? What is this? I don't even...

Happy Halloween, everyone! I had to rush to put this together in time for the holiday's festivities, but here we go! Today's Releases Painkiller: Hell & Damnation (PC) Natural Selection 2 (PC) Borderlands: Legends Today, Borderlands: Legends for iOS was released. It is a top down shooter where you play as the original four vault hunters: Mordecai, Roland, Lilith, and Brick. It costs $4.99 on iPhone and iPod touch, and $6.99 on iPad. Super-storm Sandy Hurricane Sandy has hit Activision servers stationed in New York, affecting the following games... [*]Call of Duty: World at War (Ps3) [*]Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (Ps3) [*]Call of Duty: Black Ops (Ps3, PC, Wii) [*]All Guitar Hero servers Even CoD? *Gasp!* Infinity Ward and Modern Warfare 4 Speaking of Activision, a voice actor has leaked that the hollow shell that is Infinity Ward is now developing Modern Warfare 4. This comes as no surprise, of course. It appears that we will have to whether at least one more year of fan boys defending an outdated franchise. One more year in which I continue to lose faith in humanity. How sad. Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch Let's end on a good note. I have found game-play footage of Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch. Don't know what that is? I'm not surprised, it's fallen under the radar. This footage shows the combat system. I highly recommend everyone to keep an eye on this game. It deserves your attention, and restores a bit of my faith in humanity. http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=GaPLQWZA9OU Well, that's it for now. Happy Halloween, everyone! Click here to view the article

Don't worry. I've learned that if you take everything seriously on a site like this, you're gonna have a bad time.Nice description of my sig, though.

I don't own the game; I played it at a friend's house. Honestly, I wasn't a huge fan of Arkham City. The Sleeping Dogs demo was great, though. It's so fun to shove a man's head into an air conditioning unit and watch the blood splatter!

Well, in Arkham City, you are surrounded by enemies. On the easiest difficulty, it relies on flying around the battlefield punching, but on the harder difficulties, it's more about countering at the right time. It's the same case with Assassin's Creed and Sleeping Dogs. Sleeping Dogs goes a bit deeper, though, with environmental interactions as well. You can throw your attackers into a furnace and watch them burn.

It worked for me...strange.

I was going to watch it, but I saw that it was 45 minutes long and was like:

Gosh, that's even worse than oil, and we have alternatives to oil!What the heck are we doing wasting all this helium on balloons and making our voice sound funny?

Gah, I wish I could upgrade so cheaply. My computer came with 7 Home Premium, but I was greedy enough to get my electrician to try and crack open the stuff in the Ultimate Pack. Now, I have that "Not genuine" issue. Do you think I can still upgrade with this?

Wait, how did we get it in the first place? I know it isn't a man made element, so did we somehow pull it out of the air?

I would...if I had a smartphone.

Honestly, I'm surprised my signature got 3 out of 5. One day, I just thought, "I've been with this group for almost a year, and I STILL don't have a signature!" I then just slapped on a SotC screenshot from my Different Graphic Styles article, and voila! Masterpiece!Great article, Blex. I'm glad to know that I'm a Bad Mamajama.

Haha, it was an honest mistake. Judging by the lack of genuine responses, it doesn't look like any of our members play Dragon's Dogma anyway besides me. At least we got a good laugh out of it, right?

Have you heard of the game Dragon's Dogma. It's an RPG that came out a few months ago. In it, you create your character, and then your create a permanent companion, called a "Pawn." You can hire two other pawns from PSN or XBL that other people made. I was hoping we could share our pawns. But, as you can see, it quickly turned into a joke.

Well...this did not turn out as I had hoped.

I've played II, but should I play Brotherhood and Revelations before this? I'm a trophy hunter, and I skipped out on Brotherhood and Revelations because the servers were dead when I became interested in the series.

What really stinks is that a few years ago, when they still showed mainly gaming stuff, my basic HD cable package didn't have the channel. Eventually, it was included, but by that time, most of the time slots were filled with crap, so I never really even watched the channel that much.

I've played the demo. The combat is excellent. It reminds me of Assassin's Creed and Arkham City a bit.

Not really. It's not like it insults them, and it's about the two building a friendship of sorts. They both need to rely on each other's individual skills to survive.

How exactly would it be racist? It's history, and it doesn't insult African or European Americans whatsoever.Also, for see my reply to Blexun for more info on the werewolf game. The combat is a lot different from Skyrim. Also, I was thinking you wouldn't have a choice to transform. You'd have to whenever nights hits, making it a perfect time to go after optional dungeons and the like.Back when I first had the werewolf idea (early last year) I began adding onto it. I added a female companion, then a male companion, and next thing you know I have an entire world of lore. However, I realized that the gameplay would be a Bioware rip off and therefore use that universe for short stories only. I decided to go back to the original idea for the game because it was more, well, original.

I'd bet the reason they're doing this is because they know they can't keep up with sites like Gameinformer and IGN.It's still a shame, though, turning into another MTV.

Well, I have a bit of a combat system figured out.Think Dynasty Warriors. You press the square button to start a regular combo, and end it with the triangle button to perform a variety of combos. I was thinking that you would get a skill tree, and there would be several different types of regular combos. You could also unlock a variety of ends to your combo through the skill tree, and you can assign it to a certain number of swipes.For example, I could buy the move "Poison Claw" and the string "Martial Arts." I can assign Martial Arts as my regular move string, and assign Poison Claw to C3, meaning that I press the square button twice and then the triangle button. (C1 would be pressing triangle without any string, C2 would be with one attack, etc.) I feel like this would really make the moveset feel like your own, since any combo end can be assigned to any number from 1-10 for amount of regular strings before triangle.As for your ideas:1: I think has been done before. However, I hear it was banned in America, so we are still without such a game, and it would make me reflect upon who I kill. I think a good example of what you are trying to convey would be a bit like Skyrim, but EVERYONE is killable, and if you kill an essential NPC, you either cannot do the quest or have to find another NPC to help you.2: Would have us reflect upon not judging by first impressions. Such a thing has been done before, but I think that it could be an excellent game if implemented right.3: Well, I think it needs some kind of quest and goal system, otherwise the game would become tedious. If I am anything to go by, gamers need some kind of direction as an incentive to keep playing. But, yes, this would have potential as well, though I like the other two ideas better.
