We knew this back when the Dreamcast keyboard players destroyed people using regular controllers.

DA 2 being dumbed down for sonsole whiners.
So Dragon Age did really well.
EA made some money off it.
However, they are going to listen to the whiners who complained about the 360 version not being as good as the PC version. This means they are going to give DA the Oblivion treatment and DUMB IT DOWN for console gamers.
Mass Effect was OK. But it is a DIFFERENT game than Dragon Age.
Dragon Age 2 is going to have much less choices and a much more simple control setup to satisfy the console gamers.
I warned people about this when I talked about how Bioshock was basically System Shock 2 dumbed down for consoles. But nobody would listen to me because it was a pretty good game. Yes. But it would have been BETTER if it had the inventory system of SS2.
So now we are going to have a PC game that did well CHANGED simply because it didn't satisfy the console gamers.
IT'S A PC GAME AND THE PC VERSION WAS SUPERIOR!!!!
Do PC gamers complain when a port of a console game wasn't as good as on the system it was intended to be played on??? No. Of course not.
No because that would be stupid. And DON'T say the game isn't being dumbed down. IT IS. You go from 6 different character selections to a choice of gender! No more classic conversation choices. It's all the Mass Effect convo wheel now!
With crap like this being pulled and DRM BS, PC gaming isn't dying...
...IT'S BEING ACTIVELY KILLED OFF.
Whatever you say, PC games are more COMPLEX and IN DEPTH than console games because the programmers and the players have the tools they need to make and play really intricate games. CONSOLE GAMES DO NOT HAVE THAT OPTION.
For crying out loud if the people were in charge the next Dragon Age would require you to flail around with Kinect motion controls SIMPLY BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT IS MAKING THE MOST MONEY AT THE CURRENT SECOND.
This might be it. The death of decent PC gaming from major developers.

Sins of a Solar Empire
Why does this game not have a campaign mode?
It NEEDS a story.
Such a great game.

Twilight Vampires Hate Sega.
I think Twilight vampires are complete pussies so this is an endorsement.

Huh.
So it's interesting to note that a random artist I followed from high school to now is moving onto a new project.
She really just pushed through and did a ton of amazing things.
I think I really need to work on my own creative stuff and not cave in.
It's really easy to get into the rut of work - eat - sleep.

I played RE 5!
Wow. So first Dragon Age and now this!
Resident Evil 5 was on massive clearance at the local Target store. So I decided to buy it for a few bucks thinking that there might be a slim chance it might work on my computer.
It DOES! Amazingly well!
I don't know why software companies have the minimum specs set so high.
In any case it was pretty much the same game as RE4 with a few new features. I didn't like the partner thing... I mean in RE 0 you were on your own for a good portion of the game. It would have been nice to keep that feeling of being alone that the other games in the series captured.
It was honestly a bit of pain to keep making sure that Sheva had enough ammo. She never died (Except in a few rare cases where she her programming made her suicide) but when you wanted her to attack it seemed she went through ammo pretty quickly.
Too many quick time events.
Too many enemies with one hit kills. Instead of making the game hard like the original titles it made it cheap.
Still overall a fun game and I played the whole thing.
*spoilers*
I feel sad that they had to finish off Wesker. He was a great character and was awesome throughout the whole series. It seemed weird that such a cool headed guy would go crazy and try an insane take over the world thing.

FMV games coming back?
http://www.joystiq.com/2009/12/03/interview-mystery-case-files-dire-groves-adrian-woods-on-the/#continued
I guess my idea of a FMV adventure game on the Dreamcast wasn't so bad after all!

Yahtzee shares my general opinion about multiplayer.

I was so bummed when I realized that Quake 3 was pretty much multiplayer only.
