Ugh man. It's cool that it can be downloaded, but I don't know if I can get behind a 22gb download. This is precisely the bottleneck our glorious no retail future has.

I'll pick it up on my way home from work tomorrow. The download wouldn't be finished until tomorrow anyway with the way PSN is.

It's still probably faster and definitely more convenient than driving to a retail store to pick up a game.

For the record, you were totally fucking right. Should have just downloaded it last night. ::Flips off target::

@FluxWaveZ: WWWWWWWWWWWWHY???

IS THIS NOT A FIGHTING GAME!

Wait, so... there's a prospective article that hasn't even come out yet... and people are already bickering and sniping at one another.

Why must we thrive off the worst of ourselves, lashing out at enemies in the dark? These words are not alive, but the person typing them most certainly is.

Can we not take a step back and try to understand like reasonable adults? Can we not set a better example for one another? We can all aspire to be better than this. Today and in any contentious article or topic, please talk to me and everyone else here as the real people that we are, not simply as the cold words we appear to be.

Oh my god, that's what this is about? A title? For christ's sake, GB community, why don't you take a break for a while.

One thing I will never understand is why people try to silence these discussions. "I care about sexism and want women to be treated equally but everyone should shut up about it." Sexism is a real problem in the games industry and one that isn't getting much better. I support any kind of discussion about it. Big or small. What is being hurt by having the conversation?

Define "real problem" for me. What exactly does sexism in the games industry make it different from any industry in the Western world? Everyone has their prejudices, #1reasonwhy showed us that Woman are not unaffected by such things. What exactly will discussion even solve?

I'm not one to believe awareness will shape public opinion, to me silencing speech seems like an effective way to solve bigotry. Only when you punish will people start to learn and act accordingly.

I was looking for an excuse to use this.

So, assuming this is about the effects of sexism in the games industry, your ideal method to solve the issue is to ignore it completely?

What is this even referring to?

Firstly let me go through the PROs of this game;

- The city/landscape is amazing. You can tell a lot of work went into the game, and you can also tell that it had a little City17 about it.

- Blink, is one of the most fun FPS mechanics of all time.

My main problem with this came can be summed up in one word; connection.

As I played through the game as I asked myself many questions;

*SPOILERS*

Why should I care about Convo?

Why should I care about the Empress when I knew her for about three minutes?

Why should I go on a revenge mission for two people, I really didn't know.

That was my main problem. Lethargy towards the main character.

Just wondering if I'm the only one.

You shouldn't. The narrative is the biggest problem with Dishonored. Even if you do put yourself in Corvo's shoes and apply your believes over him, if you read enough of the audiologs and find the diaries, you come across all the backstories and true natures of your compatriots, which pretty much spoils the ending for you HOURS before you reach it. Annoyingly, the most interesting stuff revolving around the game's lore is REALLY REALLY REALLY hard to find, but it's the most interesting, the kind of stuff that would have kept my disbelief suspended for another 5 to 10 hours.

Game is fun though.

@LikeaSsur: Indeed. for a while, I was working out purely out of spite, using it as a focus to train my anger on. Now i'm in a better place (mentally anyway) and use it as a health routine.

Everyone's drive is gonna be different. Hell, if you're only working out to get chicks/dudes, great. Just don't be a creeper at the gym.

I'd love to see WB get saint's row. It's the kind of thing that could really help them out in the long run.

But money talks.

I'm having more consistent issues with crashes and such. The UI seems fairly stable though, though it's running windowed.
