This is assuming they have the money to hire a lawyer. That's quite the assumption, since clearly they're pretty bad with this whole money thing.

I think you're conflating two separate things. Religion is not synonymous to believing in some form of divinity. Everyone who is religious believes in some form of the divine, but not everyone who believes in some form of the divine subscribes to any sort of religion. Not all rectangles are squares, but all squares

Yeah... except in real life there's no respawn. In a real emergency, you undoubtedly would have raiders and looters, but it would probably be far less psychopathic violence and more guarded caution, since if you start shooting, they start shooting, and maybe you die. For good. Without a respawn.

This is the place griefers liked to strand people, isn't it?

I'm not sure how much mods could help, since that insubstantial thing is a byproduct of the floaty RNG system they have going. I guess you could assign staggers or something to a lower damage threshold or something, but without ditching the "dice" system entirely, I don't know how they'd do it.

To be perfectly fair, they were some of the original folks on PC to come up with that trope in a first-person adventuring fashion (the first Elder Scrolls being released 20 years ago and all), and they weren't going to just throw out the decades of work on the world just because the genre became popular. But I do

Eh, the setting wasn't bad. In fact, considering the in-game lore and tons and tons of attention the designers paid to believable topography, economy, etc., I'd say the setting was pretty solid.

The storytelling, however... but then, this is Bethesda. They wouldn't be able to craft a compelling narrative if their lives

I like how DICE has been adding features from Battlefield 2 to each new title in the series and calling the feature "new." In 3 it was 64 player maps and going prone. In 4 it was Commander Mode. This is bringing back zip lines and grappling hooks. I suspect Battlefield 5 will be Battlefield 2 + Expansion Packs, but

Definitely not your typical fantasy series. In fact, it's decidedly low fantasy. Alternate world, yes, but you see actual magic or magical creatures maybe once or twice a season and even then only briefly. It could more accurately be described as a drama/tragedy set in an early Renaissance-era society that fairly

...did we watch the same video? Or, perhaps more accurately, did YOU watch the video? From the looks of it, this is a very intelligent and emotional game about losing friends to one of the most horrific wars in human history.

But, if you just saw the headline and decided to comment without reading the story or watching

As FAlphaXII said, the most important part is going to be network speed on both sides, followed closely by a good CPU.

Desktop sharing?

No. I refuse. The gunplay and progression in CoD: Black Cops is far superior. To say nothing of the much more mature community. I played Black Cops II for a few weeks, but I couldn't stand all of the 12-year-olds going on and on about how they were going to pull a 314 on my corpse and and get all 647 on my mother.

I should be able to play this on Ultra with a perfectly reasonable 40 FPS. Excellent. Might drop a few areas so I can get closer to 60 FPS, but I'm really okay with these spec requirements... even if the CPU requirement seems a little bit high.

This rings particularly true to me. Adulthood and maturity makes you realize that you're NOT the hero, and the world will continue on just fine without you. It's not like a video game, where there are saves and reloads, where you MUST be alive for the story to continue...

It's like the first Dead Space, which I've been slowly inching through. It's a truly fantastic game, with a compelling story and some very neat ideas behind it - I know, I know, I'm horribly late to the party - but god. I can only play 15 minutes at a time usually. Because I'm a pansy these days.

Should have been Ratatoskr. Because naming your murderface super-soldier after an exceptionally annoying, exceptionally important squirrel god is always good for a laugh.
