    Hell is not frozen yet! (Diablo 3)

    No one has beaten Inferno and the people who've gotten the farthest in it have done so by corpse hopping. Not really. Longevity is acchieved via Inferno and, when it's implemented, PvP. They designed the game so that you hit 60 when you beat Hell so that you have every skill and can start...

    Kickstarter for Battlechess started, Interplay

    Only at $12k of $100k and 15 days to go. Fail. That said, judging from the videos and stuff the game may not need a kickstarter and may make it to release regardless.

    Hell is not frozen yet! (Diablo 3)

    It was really bad. My friend and I got on shortly after midnight but after trying to create a character for 30 minutes, logged off. It took us another hour or hour and a half to get back in (1:30-2) only to find that his character was finally created (the next day he discovered he had 10 of...

    Hell is not frozen yet! (Diablo 3)

    Their explanations were to combat hacking and avoid the confusion of having offline and online characters. Both are valid, especially since they like to make the best gear Battle.net only, but it's garbage that single-player games are so heavily affected by latency and that there is no lan...

    Diablo III: Wrath

    They are always slow, just look at Diablo II and WarCraft III. I think that being bought by Activision may not have been the best thing for them... Still, Diablo III seems like it'll be mechanically solid from the beta, I just think that they are having far too much difficulty with other...

    Diablo III: Wrath

    I enjoyed it for what it was but the vibe was completely wrong. I'm not sure that it being traditionally animated was the biggest problem but it certainly didn't help. Furthermore the writing was bad and didn't fit Diablo.

    Hell is not frozen yet! (Diablo 3)

    You have to enable "Elective mode" in the options so that you can assign any skill to any hotkey. The skill UI was changed from how it was originally into the current abomination and there have been complaints ever since it was done. In the Beta portion of the game they appear to be. There...

    Wasteland 2 Scorpitron 2.0 concept art

    I think it's supposed to look like they painted the letters on with a stencil judging by the font, the paint splatters on the bottom and the spottiness of the E in RANGERS. It makes since that it would be done this way to a certain extent, it's a lot easier. I love the Scorpitron and the...

    No Mutants Allowed front-page redesign

    My critiques: Header should pop more triangleRow looks a bit funky, I'm not a fan of it as the divider. I assume it is supposed to show users that the items are drop down menus? Design of menuRow and triangleRow seems out of place with the rest of the page. Might be color scheme, font, or...

    Tribes: Ascend

    Tribes can die a painful death as no Earthsiege/Starsiege games have been made since it's inception.

    8th generation of consoles

    They were thinking that the iPad is wildly popular and cool so let's have a system that uses and iPad for a controller! Having games use DSes as controllers is a far better idea but neither is good. The PS2 was far better, it was that little gray box plus MORE. Both systems are loaded with...

    Bioware Backlash

    All of the Diablo games let you skip dialogue, though until 3 they only had a single page of scrolling dialogue. In D3 if you hit escape you skip the entire dialogue. Granted these are ARPGs with no dialogue choices.

    Bioware Backlash

    I agree that the reaction is extreme but to claim that gamers are the only people on the internet who do this is equally stupid. I also think that it is fair to call them out for sinking to the same level of inane vulgarity. If you are going to respond with insults then they need to be witty...

    Will a R2 game play in an R1 console?

    No, it will not work on a vanilla console that is not R2. If it is for PC then it should work just fine. As for how, I have a Canadian copy of Arkham City and a PAL copy of Arkham Asylum thanks to Amazon (both gifts), fortunately they are both for PC.

    Video game cover discussion

    The cover wasn't something that would have made me want to pick it up but I had seen screenshots from the game that did make me want to pick it up. Morte would have been good to put on the cover. True enough but the PAL artwork was pretty sweet.

    Actual, turn-based strategy X-Com sequel in the works

    I'm shocked, that makes the game look good. There may be hope yet... I'm interested to see if there are classes like that makes it sound or not and perks could be a nice addition. They have finally peaked my interest.

    Ubisoft forbids changing your own hardware!

    I never said that it was completely for our benefit but Steam is a good give and take. Battle.net and such are a reasonable compromise and short downtime for updates is annoying but hardly a disaster. Anyone whose played MMOs is used to far more frequent updates than I'd expect on Battle.net...

    Batman: Arkham City

    Forewarning, I'm not overly far in the game (like 7-10%) so I'm working off of what I've played. I finished up 75% (according to Arkham Asylum) of AA before embarking on Arkham City and I disagree. I think that double pressing the hotkeys for gadgets is more annoying (I haven't tried the my...

    Ubisoft forbids changing your own hardware!

    This is why I prefer account-based DRM. I usually don't care whether or not I have to be connected to the internet, I usually am anyway and most people are, so it's a much better trade-off. Add in Steam's offline mode and I'm satisfied. It's a fair compromise for me. That makes me wonder...

    NDAA

    What is "rather rural"? City population of 50,000? 20,000? 5,000? 500? That's not how US law works, the law can be passed and can/will be enforced until someone takes the government to court over it. Private schools can hire other people over those in burqas claiming other reasons. Pot, say...
