To their credit Origin is actually shaping up to be a pretty good service. There are frequent game give-aways, they have much better T&A (returning games for ex) and their interface just seem better coded with none of the slowness of the Steam browser.

Personally I found SH2 inferior to the first game, warts and all. The simple fact is that SH2 requires such a titanic suspension of disbelief. You have all these people in SH2 witnessing the most horrible events and they barely react to them. This is a typical issue I have with Japanese games -...

For 8 years I wanted to find out what happened one of the main characters after the cliffhanger ending of Dreamfall. The intro answers this by peeing in your mouth straight away. God damn you Funcom.

"And I can confidently say roughly 20hrs of that day was spent replaying the same damn sections over and over and over and over and fucking over again." OP has likely never played an old-school game. These days checkpoints and instasaves are what I consider to be ruining games.

Necroing this instead of starting a new thread. Which of the origin stories do you consider the most satisfying and providing the best overall realized character? I'm currently doing all I have of DAO+A again in preparation for Inquisition.

Low post count but been around since ages on this site. You were mere acorns when I was already an old oak. I think no less of you high post counters with join dates three weeks back.

Would it be a shocking concept that H:A depicted women the way it did in order to sell more copies? Or.. it could be some subtle conspiracy from the developers who hate women and manifesting this by making a number of them deadly and dangerous foes in a game they are making. I'm going to...

Looking at Metacritic The Witcher 2 is currently commanding a very respectable score of 88 as well as being being shortlisted for RPG of the year. With Dragon Age 2 letting down the hype as well as Mass effect 3 being pushed out to 2012 it looks to be THE RPG of the year. The Escapist's review...

I'd like to have a jive-talking, wisecracking sidekick for Master chief.

BC2 came along, from there my little remaining interest in CoD2 evaporated. Which is sad, because I became quite good at the game. The matches however tend to act out fairly similarly. The map geometry is simply too constrained.

I wanted badly to like SR2 but the PC conversion was just lousy. The driving especially was horribly choppy.

Snipers serve an important purpose in all teambased FPS matches. However many people playing snipers neglect the importance of their roles and get lost just staring down their sights and at their frag count. In BC2 for example the Recon class' most valuable ability is by far their spotting...

What are you basing this on? Random forum posters? Not a very good source. I'm on a E6750 which certainly is no powerhouse these days but I'm doing fine.

I obviously forgot to add the [irony] tag.

The solution is simple people. Buy the PC version, there will be a ton of nude patches out in a heartbeat. Just look at Dragon Age and the extensive sex scenes people have taken their time to script for the game. There's even a patch for giving your Warden's love interest a very extensive...
