I'd buy that shit, but alas I can't afford the flights from Finland to Boston. Sometimes I do greatly dislike the fact that there's nothing like this out here.
No, not really. I appreciate gaming platforms like Steam etc, but the publisher's own account systems are a bit useless and often make you very confused as you forget the password for that EA account or can't remember your Ubisoft name etc. Since you usually only use these services with specific games, the possibility of forgetting about them is far higher than that of Steam that people use daily to connect with other gamers etc.
What's been said regarding the release dates and poor reviews is true in some cases. Some companies will not send you a review copy unless you agree to their terms (if your review is worse than X points out of the max you'll release it after the game is released), but certainly not all companies and I definately doubt that this would be one of those cases as EA has always been quite a sport about these things. I could dig up a couple of articles written in a finnish game magazine about how publishers do this stuff on occasion but as they are in finnish and only for subscribers, it'd be a tad useless. But I seriously, seriously doubt that in this games case this would have happened. Doom 3 is the last time I recall this crap going down for reals.
Need some new Kimya Dawson. She made some christmas album with a bunch of random peeps last year, and before that in -08 she made an album full of kid's songs. I want some good ol' fashioned soulful stuff instead of these things. She uploaded some song to Youtube a while back, hopefully marking the fact that she's back composing.
I'd be rather joyous that a game sells a billion copies. It'd be quite smashing for the industry overall. I'd dislike it, but so what? If something gave a huge boost to retail sales like that, I wouldn't mind in any way.
I guess you can technically play Shepard as a gay dude, but then you can't do it with anyone as no one else aboard the ship is gay. Just pretend he's gay and don't flirt with the ladies.
Back when Morrowind came out, I knew nothing about the game or it's predecessors. I went into it vanilla and got a fresh experience. The combat was easy and I killed everything that moved. Then, one day, I was running around a temple. Everything was musky, dark and gloomy. I come to this corridor, and look down the hallway. In the end, is a dark, wide shape. It turns to me and it starts moving. It's coming closer, and as I pee my pants I can see it's horrible features unfold before my very eyes.
Hell yes I ran. And from there on I've just been scared shitless over every Ascended Sleeper I've seen in the game. They just creep me the hell out.
