It's evident from the demo that this game has been streamlined even more so than ME2 to appeal to the masses, but that's fine really, all I'm there for is the story.

Er, no it hasn't. Better combat doesn't = streamlined. It's got far more RPG elements than ME2 had. More gear, and an upgrade system that is the same as the upgrade system in ME1, and a more expansive level up system.

While the upgrade system is a major improvement over ME2, ME1 still had a better one. Especially with the huge amount of ammotypes that weren't treated as class-spcific toggled abilities.

I remember there being a thread on the Bioware forums back when ME2 came out. It had detailed model comparisons of Miranda and the standard female body every other female human character used. As it turned out, Miranda's body had a larges pair of breasts and ass. The poster made the conclusion that Miranda apparently had the largest tits in the galaxy. He was then banned for that post.

Goddamn it Kleptok. How the hell do you find the most fascinating articles?

Seconded. Here's hoping these weekend updates never end.

He finds (atleast some of) them on Reddit.

Just as I said on Reddit, the "article" written by the Merc is terrible. He's basically saying he's a badass crazy son of a bitch and games aren't real.

New rig for $1000 every 3 months if anti-PC fanboys are to be believed.

I haven't upgraded mine for two years now, and that was only a GPU upgrade. My CPU's getting pretty old now, so that'll be replaced this year.

She is most likely drunk, continually drunk seeing as she has been at it for hours, doesn't excuse her being a jerk.

Right after I posted after looking at her twitter I scrolled a bit down and I've come to a scientific conclusion.....

SPOILER WARNING: Click here to reveal hidden content.

I agree. Bitch drunk.

I still stand by my stance of forgive and forget, even if she did insult one of my favourite game developers in a dick way.

If only she were...

Violent Drunk

then she would challenge David Jaffe to a fight, he would win, and she'd have to surrender her title as one of the few female game journalists, and it would all be ok because it's David Jaffe and he can do that.

I wish gaming industry resolved disputes with fights instead of bickering over twitter and lawsuits. "You want DOTA 2 Valve? Look out cause Blizzard brought a shank!"

That would not end well for Blizzard. Have you seen Gabe's knife collection?

Back to the topic. Leigh is a journalist and should know better than to bring personal insults to the table. Really all there is to say about it.

And christ, can people stop calling "Sexist!" every time a man insults a woman? We don't do it the other way around, so please just stop trying to make it something it isn't.

Been playing since beta. It's a great game, it really is. Feels very fresh compared to other RTSes these days.

@benson: I'm a minority but you don't see me complaning about Shepard not being a latino (I can make him look like one if I want anyways) ... there's a time and place for everything but some of you guys have serious issues and somehow are avoiding them , I don't think this is even about a videogame boxart anymore, yes you guys are arguing about a videogame boxart that has 2 sides on it ....

So can you give us some guidelines on what's the time and place where it's convenient for everyone to discuss misogyny?

It's also pretty precious that you accuse us of having serious issues that we avoid when most people in this thread get really uncomfortable, to the point of violence, when issues that they don't like to think about are brought up.

Not sure if trolling or just really, really stupid.

Hey, guess what. Not everything in this world is made up by an evil CEO that spends all his day thinking of how he can discriminate one minority or another.

To think that these are the kind of people living on our planet. No wonder it's fucked up.

Jesus fucking christ this thread. You people make me lose all hope for humanity.

Steam support is just as bad, if not worse. I mean, at least EA are incompetent live, with Valve you have to wait several days for an incompetent response. And then when you reply to that complaining about how they didn't read your question, you have to wait another few days for them to respond again, and they still won't have actually read what you said. I love Steam, and I quite like Origin, but they could both do with vastly improving their support network vastly.

Couldn't be further from the truth.

I've sent in about 4 Steam tickets, mostly about refunds for pre-orders I changed my mind on. Every time I've gotten a respone within 24 hours (and in the case of refunds, have my money back).

I've sent in 5 Origin support tickets. Each one has been closed by Support after a week of no response.
