I will reserve judgement until they show more of the game, but as long as there's no hand holding and full on shoot outs every 5 minutes then there at least heading in the right direction. I'm worried though because all they've shown is action and that's really not what hitman is about. If it does end up being a mere shadow of its self by having to much emphasison the action then I will cry....... And the world will implode....... And marky mark will play Nathan drake in the uncharted movie.Father Time said:

Bioware for the hamfisted way they handle homosexuality in their games.
Valve for taking years to do anything and for constantly giving console players the shaft. You can only blame Microsoft for so long guys.
Gearbox for wasting time developing Duke Nukem Forever when they could have been working on Borderworlds.
Splash Damage for not beta testing Brink. I'll be giving them a second slap if they don't release that piece of DLC they've been promising for months.
Volition for turning Red Faction into a 3rd person, open world thing, then turning it into a linear, 3rd person survival horror wannabe, thus killing the franchise.
DICE for also being one-side like Valve.
Treyarch for being being inferior to Infinity Ward.
EA for playing up it's "rivalry" with CoD/Activison which comes across as childish and petty and has me rethinking my BF3 preorder.
Free Radical for making Haze and getting their asses shut down although now that they've been bought up by Crytek and will be making Timesplitters 4 on CryEngine, which reminds me...
Crytek for being obsessed with pretty graphics and not optimizing the console ports of Crysis 2 so they'd run well.
Epic for not putting more effort into the Bulletstorm multiplayer.

Hate to break it to you but Steam is DRM. It's DRM wrapped in a pretty little package of friends lists, and trophys, etc, but in and of itself it's DRM. And, yes it's considered a subscription service, even if you don't pay any type of subcription fee for it, it says so in Steam's EULA. And, yes I've used Steam for a few games, I have around a dozen with them: Portal, Terraria, The Last Remnant, Assassin's Creed, The Monkey Island Series, and a few free Source mods. I'll still use it for those games, but I doubt I'll ever buy anything else through them, having to have the client running at all times to play is annoying and offline mode doesn't work half the time.Jerubbaal said:

Square Enix. Why don't you just make a 20 hour movie at this point? I'm sure your fans will watch it.
LucasArts for rushing KOTOR 2 to release and in general, their inability to publish anything that's not Star Wars these days. (Some of their old point and click games were really good)
Bethesda didn't test New Vegas in-house; Obsidian did. Bethsoft popped in every so often and maybe did a total of 2% of the play testing.genericusername64 said:
The second part, I wholeheartedly agree with.
Also, Bethesda/Zenimax for publishing all those crap games. I know they are trying to be nice to those devs, but seriously, some were terrible.
Sega.
...I shouldn't have to say much else, should I?
The only reason Sega is still truly relevant, in America at least, is because of Platinum Games.

That link has made me physically unwell. I don't know whether to cry, facedesk, be sick, scream in anger, wail in despair...believer258 said:So that's what happened...Raziel_Likes_Souls said:Well lemme point out 2 things:canadamus_prime said:
1: I'm assuming you don't know who the new senior writer for Bioware is:
Her name is Jennifer Hepler, and she's the main reason DA 2 was practically a JRPG, and the reason I want to fling 500 boxes of Hamburger Hepler at the Bioware writing 2 things.
2: Probably due to Hepler and the rest of the writing staff, they're probably making it up as they go, rather than planning it out.
I google'd that name. Guess what the second result was? [http://social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/141/index/6661321/1]
Now that I know this, I'd like to slap Bioware in the face for being a game company who hired a person who doesn't like to play games, even if it is for the writing position.
Crytek after Crysis 2. I could have actually forgiven them somewhat for the retardation of the game ("press F to look"; here are the options we predetermined for you that are really the only ways to complete the levels) if they'd bothered to make use of the dirty great buildings.
I was expecting to leap from rooftop to rooftop across huge areas, not maps a fraction the size of those in Crysis.
And I'd love to know which genius thought respawn enemy waves (ala CoD) was a good idea; what's the point in choosing a tactic if I have to hit a specific marker anyway?

Well, I wouldn't slap them because they're my original countrymen, but I would like to have a serious - and potentially loud - discussion with Eidos Montreal about the auto-win finishing moves in Deus Ex - HR.
The up-close-and-personal, "I must do this right or I'll have to reload a save" moments are the crowning moments of these games for me. If you take that away from me and make it a one-button auto-win, you just crushed a piece of my soul, along with all my interest in playing the game. As proof, I shelved Batman: Arkham Asylum the very first time that game did that (the first time where you slide down a rope and knock out someone who has a detonator, I forget his name).
The reason it's so disappointing to me is that it's really MY job as the player to accomplish these things, and it's the game developers' job to give me the tools to do so and get out of my way, not stick their hands into my game and do it for me

When Rockstar made the Walton Gang outfit for Red Dead Redemption a PS3 exclusive.
WHHHHHHYYYYYY?!?!?!?! Why did you deprive me of the best outfit in the game?! *insert un-manly tears here*

Tetsuya Nomura... I really like you man. You've made some of my favorite games ever. Kingdom Hearts is probably my favorite ongoing game series with a story, and Final Fantasy X was my first really EPIC rpg.
So why, oh WHY, did you make Final Fantasy X-2? That game is an atrocity. A slap in the face of the original. For creating that piece of crap, you deserve NOT to be slapped in the face, but be flayed with an angry cat.
(kinda surprised I'm the first one to bring up FF X-2)
