    Bioware Confirms Game Extending DLC

    Ah, yes... please don't give those raving idiots what you promised them in the first place, Bioware ("wildly different endings"). Please don't cave to anyone who wants an ending that makes sense or keeps Shepard in character. We want the different-colored endings where the "good" one is the one...

    Poll: Anti-BioWare backlash?

    Dragon Age, Mass Effect, and TOR were made by DIFFERENT TEAMS OF PEOPLE. So few gamers appear to realize that. I chose "somewhere in-between." EA's business model is in a poor period, but it could turn around if enough customers complain. At least they haven't turned ME3 into Gears of War or...

    Alright kids, weigh in. What is the best RPG yet made?

    This is my opinion precisely. I always wanted them to focus more on quality than size (it really ISN'T the size, it's how you use the size you've got! As a woman, I can say that without sounding defensive, too. ;P) Skyrim's a huge step in the right direction.

    Alright kids, weigh in. What is the best RPG yet made?

    I will give Smeggs a high-five and agree with his choices of best shooter/RPG hybrid--Mass Effect, and best sandbox RPG--Skyrim. Two great, great games, one sci-fi and one fantasy. Good balance there. I played the crap out of BG2 and both KOTOR games, and Fallout 1 & 2, and all those games...

    BioWare Adding Female Shepard to Mass Effect 3 Marketing

    One fifth of sales is actually a pretty large number. ME2 sold over 2 million copies. 20% of that is 400,000. Times 60 is $24,000,000. Sure, the other category gave them more money, but what if they could increase their profits by doubling their amount of female buyers? If only 20% use female...

    American Box Art Sucks

    I'm American, and I think the European Heavy Rain box art is the best by far. It looks subtly ominous and mysterious. Yeah, the UK version is seriously a crapload better there. Seriously, WTF is wrong with the US when it comes to box art? Not that it's good to buy a game based on the box art...

    Poll: POLL: Coke or Pepsi

    Coke, because it has a flavor besides "sweet."

    BioWare Dev Explains Why Dragon Age II Is Easier Than Origins

    Dude, it IS more complex. What you played was a demo. A crapload of abilities were locked for the demo, as it was supposed to be an introduction. As Knight_47K said on the Gamefaqs boards, an example is that in Origins, there were 56 talents for a rogue (including specializations.) For DA2...

    BioWare Dev Explains Why Dragon Age II Is Easier Than Origins

    Did you play Origins without patching it on the PC by any chance? Difficulty was actually lowered because straight Origins (on the PC; Xbox was ALWAYS easier because it had to be) was much harder on Normal than it should've been. Much, much harder; you needed to micromanage quite a bit more than...

    Describe Yourself/Character in one word.

    Loving. I love life, knowledge, people, insight, gaming, and so much else.

    Poll: Why do female gamers like the Zelda series so much? *now with more political correctness!*

    I played the very first Zelda a long, long time ago. A guy I was dating played Ocarina of Time or whatever it was called. I just simply don't care for them. I would guess that if more girls like the Zelda games, it's probably in part because they expect not to see insulting stereotypes of...

    Should I keep playing Dragon Age?

    There's an old save bonus for DA2. Otherwise you can just pick one of 3 preset Warden Origins, but I prefer making my own decisions and such. The Dwarf Origins and the City Elf Origin and the Mage Origin--those are the best, but particularly the Dwarf ones are awesome. Dwarf Commoner is a...

    What unreleased game are you most excited for?

    1. Dragon Age 2 2. The Witcher 2 3. Mass Effect 3 4. Diablo 3 The latest Silent Hill and L.A. Noire also look pretty sweet.

    Poll: Dragon Age 2 Demo Impressions

    ...seriously *nobody* noticed that Varric was exaggerating Bethany's bust size? Seriously, after Cassandra calls BS, look at Bethany's chest. It's about two bra sizes smaller. He's an unreliable narrator. Isabela's seem awfully huge... but it may be that after the narrative (presumably)...

    Poll: "Fallout 3": Why Do Fans of the First Two Dislike It?

    Fallout 3 wasn't bad. I like Fallout: New Vegas much better, though. It has more... soul. More spirit. It only makes sense, after all. I just get a little tired of Bethesda's lack of evolution. I hope Skyrim will be different, but I don't really expect it.
