My Miranda died in the final fight, when platform collapses she is crushed underneath. I knew she wasn't fully loyal and I tried to keep her by keeping her close but it wasn't enough. Now in 3 I've found one little Miranda sized hole in the story that makes me wonder "what if."

As it stands I'm glad I didn't re-do the suicide mission, I did it once and that's the one that counted. I'm glad Bioware gave me the OPTION to do this. I know it's not for everyone but I'm glad they let me do it.

lol at all the wapanese who still can't face the fact that the japanese game industry is dying

And the Western industry is so healthy you never see Western developers going out of business or losing money, right?

lol i said INDUSTRY, not individual firms. individual firms do not represent an entire industry, but if you want to compare numbers we can, just let me know.

The Japanese industry isn't dying and the Western industry is not as healthy as you think. An industry is made up of individual firms and only a fool would ignore how so many of them have been going out of business and losing money.

You didn't give me a comprehensive list of firms (with their individual betas, alphas (multiples), financials etc) and then aggregate those numbers into industry means with variances. Instead you said, "DURRR FIRMS IN WEST GO UNDER THEREFORE WESTERN INDUSTRY ISN'T MUCH BETTER". You fallaciously attributed the health of an industry to a minority of firms, and not even on a financial basis but on a firm by firm basis. I am graduating with an honours in Finance. It is clear that you are not.

Also: the Japanese industry has lost over 80% of it's market share from over 50% worldwide to just over 10%. The western industry continues to eat into this market share. Numbers don't lie.

Can I get your numbers? I'm a bit of a stat nut and Love seeing numbers like this. :)

Fire Emblem 4 is getting a remake? YOU BETTER BRING THIS ONE OUT OF JAPAN, NINTENDO. (Or at least delay it until I can actually read Japanese.)

Har har. Though I do agree Fire Emblem is cool. :)

As for XCOM I can't wait to learn more! Specifically I want to see how the "no AP" system works especially for counter fire. Or does everyone get to counterfire no matter what? Hmm...

This looks fantastic. X-COM remains my favorite PC game of all time and I still play it from time to time.

I love the idea of the "ant hill" view into your X-COM bases. What would be fascinating and perhaps comical would be to see your scientists and soldiers rummaging about, dissecting dead aliens and taunting captured ones. Watching engineers building tanks and weapons and hauling them off to storage would just be enjoyable to watch, even if it did not add significantly to the game.

This right here. I was meh on the 50's one (I was withholding judgement) but THIS game is a day one buy for me. Now to make my gaming dreams complete they can re-do Master of Orion. :) (MOO3 sucked so bad. :( )

I had to click on this link since you had a GHOSTBUSTERS screen grab on the front page. :)

What about the thing they showed for that unreal tech demo? Or would that be a next generation thing?

I hope so! That'd be awesome!

Anyone else hate the way they do the VGA's. Seems, so damn fake and cheesy.

Agreed. I totally don't watch them anymore because of the crazy crap around them.

@49th: Trust me if you've followed Minecraft development, you'll know this is a good thing. Notch is easily distracted and Jens has always been the guy that seems to be keeping the game on track over the last year and reaching out to modders to try and incorporate features and things. He also tends to listen to the community and fix bugs.

Agreed. This is a good thing. Let the dreamer dream and create new fun. :)

If this is true THANK GOD BIOWARE! For doing what I've wanted done for a while, which is offering a major change of gameplay option like this by either removing story choices or action for those who don't care about them. I've been worried about the combat tweaks they've been talking about, while they're good for ME they're not good for my wife who has been playing Mass Effect since 1. By playing I mean "shooting in the general direction of the enemy." I swear it's painful to watch her play but she enjoys the story and the adventure and with Story mode she can get that hopefully with me NEVER having to do a fight for her. :)

Yup, another GTA game.

Yeah that pretty much sums up my feelings. Haven't cared about a GTA game since 2.
