Heh. Love it, Bernie. Sent it to a friend who works for Ubi.

The problem with that is it doesn't include the 35 forms of verification and built in commercials that are included before you even get to the map.

The one on the right really reminds me of how it felt to play Dragon Age.

Funny, Bernie... .

Since BW brought up Dragon Age, I did not like those sorts of 'final blow' cutscenes that BioWare had decided to stuff up the game with... I mean, I suppose it looks cool, and all... but is it really necessary? Are these games or are they interactive movies?

I wonder if, before too long, we're going to be finding ourselves playing games that think they're movies. And the graphics and animation will be so demanding that the major game industries will stop making PC ports altogether... .

...But so long as there're indie outfits putting out good games, I suppose that's not all that bothersome.

But... if we're just talking FPS... honestly I don't give a damn. It's only the RPG . . . and the occasional adventure game . . . that interests me.
