I don't see single player games going F2P. If it did I think the microtransaction market would get ridiculous, especially with EA at the Helm. Not bashing EA but this quote says it all.
"EA has to focus its energies elsewhere in order to meet those quarterly targets."
That invites a throw...
I think you may actually see such a game as the years pass. I am 35 years old and in school I did a lot of research on WWII. Maybe text books for kids today are not the same as those in the past. However based on my research and papers I wrote on WWII I would not want to play a game where I...
Sorry, but addictive behaviors could manifest in one of many things. Video games have become the new Rock n' Roll, or more recently Rap of this decade. Blame video games.
Geeze I remember when Fox News was calling the X-Box the "Sex Box" because of the optional love scene in Mass Effect. I...
Spyder is on the money here. We already know that cheats and hacks exist. As time progresses more and more exploits will be found. I wonder how Blizzard will address this, uh oh....servers down for maintenance. So now because of hacks you might not be able to play. This will in turn affect...
Rasczak is right. Personally, AD always seems more organizational to me and was therefore much easier to learn. However Group Policy is where the real power of Server comes in, and if you are not careful with how you setup the policies things can get very, very messy.
I have little hope for the future when technology has advanced far enough for space travel, yet could not tape a flashlight to a gun. Doom III, space travel yes? Duct tape? Nope.
Nice find and.....wow. Leave it to big companies to kill the vision of a group of developers. Good for them for leaving. I remember there being some issues early in the development, but I didn't know it went that far.
Thanks cgehring. This is more for familiarity than anything else. I may be working with SANs in the not too distant future and I am trying to prepare myself. Not even aware of what solution is or will be put in place.
Wanted to ask as you guys seem very knowledgable on SANS. Any particular recommendations on where I can read up on the basics and different types of SANS? Any suggestions would be greatly appreicated.
I just read the article in Forbes. Shocking that a governor that was "dazzled" by Schilling at a republican fund raiser was willing to fork over that much. Not surprising that when it failed miserably that the RI tax payers are stuck with 112.6 million in payments. In the end I don't think...
This. It's a good game and I played I and II plenty. The skill system is different and people have problems with change. Resulting in much snobbery like:
"Oh no I can't min/max.....Blizz has made the game too noob friendly! Now instead of spending countless hours on the internet devising...
Agreed, I really expected better from Blizzard on this. They have been runinng the most successfull MMO of all time for how many years now? Yet they were totally unprepared for this? Either a janitor hit a light switch that was actually a switch for a bunch of servers or Blizz was totally...
Too be honest I was hoping for a price drop on the 7850 and other models in response to the release of the GTX670. Time will tell, but AMD need to do something.
Too be honest I gave up on FPS online shooters a number of years ago. Being 35 I remember when we really didn't have any type of software to block hackers other than the "kick player" option. To this day I have no idea why someone would cheat in an online FPS game. If those who hack don't...
I don't think that the companies get something. MMOs are past their prime. I played Everquest for a while, I played WOW for a while. In the end your doing the same stuff over and over again. And your paying a monthly fee to do it! FTP is where it's at, but even then MMOs are just bleh.
I seriously just don't get some people. The proof is in the results on numerous sites so I have no idea what you are trying to prove here. The Bulldozer platform is a wash for gaming. It's a well known fact. No matter how you spin it the chips are not up to par for gaming. Please stop...
ME3 is worth it for the story, with the exception of the ending. The Multiplayer isn't bad either. Just be wary of poor network speeds in game. Unfortunately there is no indicators that I am aware of when it comes to measuring whether or not a game has a craptacular ping. This can be...
Amazing when you cannot use something you spent your money on. DRM is out of control at this point. Sorry set of circumstances that us pc gamers have to deal with.
I think we really need to come to the realization that a more popular a game gets, the more user friendly it will become. I am not saying this is a bad thing overall, but it is bad for those that like to customize their characters. Personally I am not thrilled with the loss of the skill tree...
I enjoyed the open beta. I don't mind the changes as I am not a min/max type of players. Of the classes I thought they all had a different vibe. Which was good. Overall I was happy with the game and atmosphere in the game. Will probably pick this one up day 1.
The beginning was rough for me with the first Witcher. I uninstalled it but went back to it later and enjoyed the experience. Never thought I would play a game where the main character could do the hippity dippity with the Lady of the Lake.
I think Kickstarter is great and will also send out a message to the bigger companies. People will pay for quality over the crap churned out every year by many of the big game companies.
The Author of this article assumes too much in my opinion.
I think EA has seen losses due to a few key factors.
1. EA has a poor reputation. A google search can give you all the facts you need.
2. The sports line is literally a small mechanics update and roster changes. That's pretty much it. Not worth a $60 investment year after year.

Played the demo as well. Game was not very good. I have limited time to game and I considered the demo a waste, but at least it kept me from ever buying the game.
I was going to say a resonable ending was the final boss, however the ending is rigged and your destined to lose every time..........
*car salesman voice* "Unless you buy the new and improved ME3 ending, just $9.99 via DLC! Remember folks, just Shep it!" In game info-mercial coming soon.
