Loved this game! SP did a spectacular job IMO. Another thing I really enjoyed was the game physics, specifically the destructible environment. It feels more realistic when my actions have immediate and lasting impact on my surroundings and I really think they did it well.

Just make it so we can turn D&D rules off if we want! I don't enjoy playing games using a RNG to determine if my game play is successful or not. I want to be in control of my characters and their success, not hope I get lucky enough to survive each encounter. Just how I enjoy games and don't want to be excluded…

LOL my roommate and I sit and deep discuss/debate and even go off on tangents while watching the shows (we both have ADHD) then have to rewind and rewatch about every 5 min. If someone else had to sit thru what we do, they'd shoot us in the face. A 30 min show can turn into an hour and a half.

The bottom line is, we can sit and bitch and point fingers and mute ppl, etc. all day long. So wake me when someone has a constructive idea on how to combat it. If this was something more serious, would we all just sit and talk about it? History shows us that we don't. IMO the companies hosting the gaming servers need…

I'm more interested in the biology aspect. If these attraction/infatuation triggers caused by and causing biological changes are mostly due to the sole purpose of choosing a mate to have offspring, what is the motivating criteria for lesbians and gay men where intercourse will never result in reproduction? Does a gay…

LMFAO dude, you're spot on. A few of them seem pretty normal, but most of the ones in Gilbert and Mesa are kookookachoo.

I'm not suggesting foolproof per se; I'd be satisfied with semi-functional over developers/publishers sitting idly by while a verbal feeding frenzy of asinine proportions goes on, on their own servers. If they can control chat profanity in MMO's then there's no reason why they can't use the more recent advances in…

I wish more devs were like him. When it comes to games, I'm a little kid at heart and I still get excited for the next new game coming out. I'd exaggerate and do whatever I could to encourage the industry to keep pushing the bar and not limit themselves for the sake of a release date if I were him as well. It's that…

Precisely. Buying a game and/or console and participating in online interactivity isn't "constitutionally" protected. Banning hate speech isn't violating anyones freedom of speech; if Activision says, "no more vulgarity on my servers", and they back it up, then that's that. They aren't forced to buy the game or forced…

Sorry for the sarcasm. It's general frustration and I shouldn't have directed it at you. Thanks for your responses.

LOL and I have to admit, hearing some of these uneducated, monosyllabic, troglodytes can be amusing especially when they can't even speak English properly, but like another poster pointed out, when you get home from work from a long day, you don't wanna listen to some idiot going postal in the chat because he's…

Right, shaming them alone won't. But putting technology to good use and properly moderating these haters from harassing other gamers, who from the responses on this post are the majority, that want to play the game with social interaction and not have to worry about other ppl's lack of proper behavior is the right…

It's just a temp fix tho. There needs to be more accountability for social interactions via these multiplayer types of games. It's ridiculous to see these "disclaimers" stating that the ESRB can't rate online play because they can't control what ppl will do or say in the online "public". There absolutely CAN be…

I know there's not an easy or even single ideal way to deal with the issue, but like I've said earlier, doing nothing will continue to solve nothing. I think it's largely the responsibility of the companies that make the games to have some kind mitigating effort or solution in place to discourage it. It's not truly…

As it should be. Too bad that isn't an across-the-board rule that's followed by all companies. I can't think of any other socially interactive medium that permits that kind of behavior without consequences. Sports, education, politics, etc all have fairly swift and severe repercussions when you don't keep in line.

Exactly. Fence sitting is the same as enabling. It's funny how gray some ppl's morals will get on doing the right thing when it's a "minor" issue to them. They wouldn't be so nonchalant if instead of hate speech, these guys were molesting children or murdering whole families. Must be nice to be so morally ambiguous.

Wow, good luck with that.

Agreed. However since these hateful "gamers" don't seem to have a modicum of self control to behave like a civilized and intelligent person, that forces the rest of us to retreat from this kind of gaming and enable them to continue without consequence. It's sickening and pathetic.

Dude, that's the problem. We can't just roll over and take it. Where do you draw the line? Why am I making concessions on game play because others can't be decent and respectable? So we just get bullied out of general chat? I don't accommodate assholes.

I think it's completely pertinent. It's also embarrassing for the whole gaming community to see that we've made zero progress to improve this situation. Maybe if we all just pretend it isn't happening it'll go away on it's own... like it did the first time they spotlighted it.
