"Fortunately we have a product for people who aren't able to get some form of connectivity; it's called Xbox 360," Mattrick said. "If you have zero access to the Internet, that is an offline device."
This right here pissed me right the eff off. As a member of the military, when I get deployed, I don't have regular (read any, except when I get a hotel in a port somewhere) internet access. Therefore, if I am able to take some personal entertainment with me, such as a game console, it obviously won't be an xbox one. And if I'm going to buy into the next generation, that must mean a ps4. This is coming from someone who hasn't turned on his ps3 in years except to watch the occasional bluray movie and uncharted 3. That's it.
Way to screw over the entire deployable military, Microsoft. I'm really not feeling the love right now.
Issue number 1... Fox News Number 2... If you don't like, don't buy it. There are lots of other things to do with your life than play something you don't like. Number 3... Like the article said, its labeled Mature for a bleeding reason. Don't give it to your 12 year old if it say 17+ on it! WAKE UP all you parents sleeping your way through your kid's childhood and then when you realize you suck at parenting, blame it on video games and movies.
For DA2: Yes, there was no overarching villain. I think the Bioware may have tried too hard to make the game "realistic" in that in real life. There isn't always a big bag dude, just a bunch of people working to their own ends that get in the way of other people's ideas and so create their own villians. And, obviously, most of us can't stomach not having one single person or entity to pin our antagonism on rather than the undefined enemy that we create out of our own actions. We're still looking for the back and white even though we ask for a game that produces mostly grey opportunities. As for the storyline, yes, it did leave me a little bewildered as to where they were going to go with the third game. In the first, talking evil, in the second, not to subtle hints about something big going down, but this was about the Qunari, nothing to do with the Dark Spawn. Thats two very open story lines. Unless addonds/expansion for 2 finishes the Qunari storyline, I can see 3 becoming rather disjointed.
nice info. However, I'm using Vista and have yet to have any problems, why upgrade when 7 doesn't add any revolutionary new features. DX11 is Vista compatible, and that was their big point in this article. Obviously, my next computer in a couple years or whenever will have it, but for now, Vista, while a bit of a hog, hasn't let me down enough for me to get pissed about it.
I already have 3d glasses... from edimension, and they work pretty good, although they are a little bulky. and for 199$?? maybe not for another couple years for me.
