"Speaking with Visceral Games at a recentDead Space 3 event, games.on.net learned that the PC version of Dead Space 3 will be a straight port of the console versions.
The PC version is understood to have some graphics options, but no support for DirectX 11, no additional high-resolution textures, and no further graphical enhancements above and beyond those seen on the PS3 or Xbox 360."
I'm surprised nobody posted this here yet. Michael Pondsmith, the guy at the helm of the old Cyberpunk 2020, talks about what defines the genre and why he has faith in CDPR's vision.
Oh Shit, he attended a roleplaying convention in Sweden and I talked to the guy. He loved swedish potato chips haha, he was an awesome guy.
@floodiastus: kids can understand babies, they can't understand about orgasms? it's like if I started describing some game to you by comparing it to a game you haven't played and know nothing about.
I am not saying they cannot understand it, I am saying that regarding babymaking, the PLEASURE part of it is what is taboo in our society.
Also keep in mind that most kids are in heterosexual families because, you know, procreation. Heterosexual relationships are innocuous. They're easily forgotten and ignored. On the other hand, openly homosexual relationships are sure to raise questions that kids may not be mature enough to ask and parents may not be fully prepared to answer.
that's kinda iffy... if the kid is too young to fully understand, then telling him doesn't really mean anything anyway, and if they are old enough then great (I think the better word would be mature, honestly, because a kid may be mature enough at 5 whilst another might not be mature enough at 10). and the parents not being prepared to answer is dumb, because kids already ask questions they shouldn't know the answer to anyway (how is babby formed being the big one)
I mean I agree that anything approaching sexuality shouldnt really be touched on for under 10s (I don't see anything wrong with a character having two moms/dads in that situation necessarily, like the situation was in the spongebob episode rock-a-bye bivalve), but I see no reason for the programming of the 10-17 bracket to be so homo free, for lack of a better term.
Explaining to a child how to make a baby is perfectly acceptable, but things get into a grey zone when you start talking about orgasmic pleasure. This is how brainwashed I am by western society that I believe it weird to explain sexual pleasure to children.. why would that be weird really? because WE think it's taboo? Hopefully the next generation of parents will not be as brainwashed as us.
Anyone from Europe here? Looking for one more player.
What, you only speak EUROPEAN?
Ever heard of a time difference? xD
Being a swede myself, time difference does not seem to be that big of a problem. Europe is all about socialism and as such we are up all night playing videogames while the americans slave away at their offices :)
@Hizang: man, you need to hit up that LSD asap. It will reshape the way you think profoundly. I have met 5 people in my life on the brink of suicide that got "saved" by it.
Just kidding, I would have to say Tales of Vesperia although I did not really find any good JRPGs in this generation but I did not play any DS ones.
Lost Odyssey just was not that great, the writing was sloppy, the music was generic and the way they fed a lot of the story was kind of lame (those white pages with texts.. come on), character development was just "ok".
Eternal Sonata was very, very slow and had an awful combat system imho.
Anyone else just dying for a new 2D Suikoden game? :)
Europe, it's a big continent in love with simulators.
This is true. America loves to kill people with chainsaws, Europe loves simulations and strategy, preferably games where you can strategize and be a führer like in civilization ;)
