They're $1.00 at my office.
Can I has job please?
Nah Ubi actually have a very good amount of variety to their portfolio. Not to mention all the Babyz shit that prints money for them. Was very tempted to pick up the bitchin' looking CE for Anno 2070 the other day.
Both games are fantastic. MP1 is a bit rough around the edges but MP2 is still a masterpiece. Still looks fantastic and the gameplay is perfect.
Don't bother trying to link Max Payne 3 to it though as it is going for a different vibe, after reading the previews it certainly sounds great but nothing like the first 2 games. Will buy at a low, low price even though it will most likely be a 4/5 game. Max deserved better.
No, because of the overall 'experience' you have, will cloud whatever judgement you make on the film.
I'm saying that the technical faults you've spoken of there aren't related to the film in the same way that a game's technical faults are related to the game.
I suppose something like dodgy camerawork or shitty props would be something more in line with the comparison I'm thinking of here.

Say someone has a bad experience with a game that crashes due to shitty hardware, you can bet they blame the developer for it when really it is the fault of whatever platform they have.
Same argument no?

Like a poor translation of Anime or a movie that had a shitty transfer to DVD like the Directors Cut of Blade Runner. It isn't the original creators fault, it was the post production people who fucked it up from being as polished as it should have been.

Choc, I managed to get two of my mates to get TOR after talking it up so much. Best fun in a long time.

I judge the experience, which clouds my opinion of the film. I suppose you could cite ET's walkie talkies, every modern action film's shaky cam, or bad green screening as examples instead.
Well yeah, that's been happening for years.

Film studios are doing it too. Trailers, product placement, derivative tripe, Tyler Perry, region coding, remakes of remakes, crippling DRM, Twilight, the list is endless.
You used to!

Get them into the guild Fap! Choc you roll on the swiftsure? send me (Emphereal) or fap a message so we can invite you as well.
Love the game so much so far.
Got my CE edition last night, statue is quite awesome and has joined my others on the shelf.
The digital stuff is pretty cool, especially the VIP cantina area from which i observe all the tiny peoples running around below me
(but is rather lonely up there, haha)Okay, nevermind then, my point is invalid, or at least applicable to other industries

Had to stop watching, laughing to self at desk in the office clear sign of madness.

Ubisoft are a very strange company. On occasion where they have the right personality working on a game, they are amazing. Ancel is one case, and more recently Julian Gollop turned a portable Tom Clancy game of all things into something essential.
I think the safest thing to do is avoid their AAA hyped product and you'll be safe. If they sell too well though they end up becoming AAA and get ruined, a la Prince of Persia.

After all the talk about rayman origins, I have ordered it off zavii ($33ish). It better be good.

Did you spot that it says 'dispatched in a month'? Was it in stock when you ordered it?

Yeah I did spot that, I'm just hoping it will ship early. If not I'll cancel it and get it from somewhere else.
Will probably be playing single player for the most part.
You already have JC2? Good man.
Sounds about right, Vince. Occasionally Ubi are good, but tend to let popularity of a false sense of ego cloud their judgement (PC DRM, the popularity of a given franchise etc.).

Tempted to gift someone Fable 3 as a coal-in-the-sack type Christmas present.
We used to work togethers?!?

Prince of Persia 2008 was a fantastic exercise in game making. Took the removal of death a step further and made a very entertaining mechanic out of it as well as some incredibly beautiful artwork and level design, at least on PC. They fucked it up by selling the ending as DLC and having Nolan North do his Drake voice rather than the range he is capable of.
Interesting, one presumes that someone on the Class Board is a fan of old Syndicate.
really now...
I can't even be bothered voting this year.

It was bound to happen eventually. I've run out of good games to buy (on sale) during this current Steam sale.
Oh well.
Oh well.
I linked to the PM claim on the last page.
Check out the Your Excellency posts before and after that.
What? Is this with or without the "changed" classifications?
Also is Just Cause 2 worth 5 bucks? Definitely getting the Unreal Pack for a 5er, despite UT3 sucking hard. Thought about getting Max Payne, but I just don't know if I'd play it. Need to think about getting Half-Life 2 and the episodes, assuming they will get cheaper as the sale goes on. Oh shit, games.
Yeah, it was more of a troll than a meltdown. I don't think that Excellency guy is for real.
Its ok, we wonder the same about you.
If he's not real he's a dedicated troll. Not a good one, but dedicated
