Quoting: PhiladelphusI know it's supposed to look inspiring, but I can't help seeing the guy in the thumbnail of the launch trailer as doing an A-pose. :happy:

Thanks, now I can't unsee that. lol

We've seen generational leaps in GPU and CPU technology, but they are obviously not efficient enough to run in handhelds. What I would really like to see is a generational leap in battery technology. Once someone creates batteries that can significantly increase play time without sacrificing power, they will have cracked the sacred code.

Capturing a creature by throwing out an object wasn't invented by Pokemon. Humans have been doing that for thousands of years.

Quoting: doragasuWeird they go for patent infringement and not for copyright infringement

They know there's no copyright case, but patents are such a mess because people have managed to patent just about everything. If you're old enough, I'm sure you remember all the SCO nonsense.

Anyway, I can't picture Japanese court without imagining Phoenix Wright, Ace Attorney shouting, "Objection!!!!"

Quoting: slaapliedjeI haven't heard of any of those games. They delisted The Suffering 1&2, but those were awesome and I already own them. My guess is usually that means a new bundle will appear...

That means you're really missing out on exciting titles such as The Wizard and the Slug.

Quoting: Liam DaweI get that for how some people live, in that way it's a downgrade. But, I don't really believe a family sharing system is meant at all for different countries. That, really, feels like a bit of a stretch for Valve getting developers on board to allow games to be shared like this at all.

Different households in the same country though, that I feel they could (and should) relax on a bit. Like for me as a co-parent, the kiddo is between two houses in two completely different cities.

I haven't yet tested the feature, but I read in their FAQ that you can be offline while using this revamped family sharing. So is it possible that maybe you only have to verify the "under the same roof" requirement once (or once each several weeks/months)? If this is possible maybe you could visit other house, login with your account and enable family sharing there. But I'm just guessing, no idea if this will work.

I used the beta the entire time with my kids, one of whom is grown, and we haven't been under the same roof plenty of times when we played games from each other's libraries.

It would be pretty funny if the bots were also signing the petition.

one Shadowrun fans might like to take a look at

I did really enjoy the Shadowrun games even though I don't generally get on with RPGs.

So did I. But this doesn't look turn-based. Cool and atmospheric and all, but I'm kind of crap at combat games so this is probably not for me.

Yeah I went through a small roller-coaster of expectations. "Oh no they are making an RPG this time, but wait their Shadowrun RPGs were these great tactical games, oh no the end of the trailer suggests it is not even turn-based".

ha! Same exact here. Maybe just maybe it could be real-time-with-pause and also have a turn based mode similar to PoE2? Because like you all, I SUCK so hard at real time twitch action combat games. I will probably get it no matter what just to support this wonderful dev, but I do REALLY hope real time action isn't the only mode of combat.

It reminds me of The Ascent, which I ended up refunding even though I liked the atmosphere and story. The combat killed it for me.

Why ignore a platform that's sold multiple millions, and is clearly just continuing to fly off the shelves?

Cause Sweeney hates us.

Maybe he does, but I bet he loves money more than he hates us. Eventually, even he will come around.

Quoting: Leahi84There's TONS of hype for this right now with everyone I know and the BioWare/dragon age communities.

I honestly mean no disrespect but I've never understood the attitude of people claiming 'hype'.

How did Cities Skylines 2 work out at release? go back further to Amazons MMO (New world). Further still the game that was mean to be an improved ARK survival in a different setting (ATLAS). There are all manner of games in between but these are the main ones that come to mind.

I used to get 'hyped' when I was a child.. after age 12 not so much. After the age of 21 unless I know for certain a new Ferrari was coming in a few weeks time I don't get 'hyped'.

Not to mention one look at the Gameplay trailer and its CLEAR this is only Dragon Age in name and not the Dragon Age most of us know and love.. this game is gona flop and flop hard with them trying to attract everyone BUT actual fans

Quit lying. The gameplay footage had everything DAI had. Say what you really mean and quit trying to act like it was the gameplay that bothered you.
