it's just they fuckin' kept all of them
I think the difference was DNF tried to keep up with the times along with putting in their own crazy shit and changing engines since it was so far behind and the guy wanted "perfection".
In TF2s case i guess they just threw it out the window and said this shit isn't working, let's start again. Going by the TF2 wiki it seems like they created 3 or 4 different games and then decided on one.

Stalker? I used to live in mitcham and travel to my uni in Fitzroy...HolyCheck said:

Call it what you will, but ok, opinions. Like assholes, everyone has one. So rather than trust the judgement of someone that is paid to write about something, I would rather form my own.
edit: to be clear, the same goes for any form of media 'journalism', be it movies, books etc

Yeah, students don't get concession travel in Victoria. Your card should have worked at the movies though, they just look at the picture, nothing else. My uni card expired few months ago, I still use it sometimes nobody bothers to check the validity.shanshan310 said:

Shh..don't talk like a sensible person, someone might say your opinions are outrageous...x3n05 said:

Well yeah, but how do you judge something you haven't experienced yet? All you can do is ask people who have experienced it beforehand. Whether that's people who are paid to do it or people who are just word-of-mouthing the stuff, that's all other people's opinions.

Student cards are private institution, license is government?
hence why student cards dont work for you to use public transport in another state because something.
but they work at movies because something

SMG2 has definitely been my favourite game on Wii. It is also only one of two games on Wii that I've finished.
hey Skyrim will be good. But it will be buggy at launch due to the following formula
((a+c) x c) x d = f
a = scope
b = open world
c = Bethesda
d = PC
f = ffffffffuuuu

Skyrim is going to be another soulless chore through an ocean of bugs and stupid game design just like Oblivion.
Unless they somehow pull a Morrowind 2 and Bethesda rises above their Oblivion/Fallout 3 tarnish and prove they can make good RPGs.

Also what I like about Nintendo games, is that they do 'gameplay' Mario games are pure awesome in your hands, screw story and all that crap, half the fun is in simply controlling the game.
Honestly, ID used to be that with FPS games. Now? (Now being since Doom3!)
I think Carmack doesnt really give a crap about games anymore, and it shows >.< he is more interested in rockets and crap.

I can't, which is why I take the risk on something that I think I will like. If I am really unsure, I will wait for the game to go on sale and try it again. I used to put a lot of stock into reviews, opinion pieces etc but I often found myself at odds with author of said article/s, and don't get me started with applying a numerical metric to a game. I make some terrible decisions on game purchases, but I also make many great ones. *shrugs* it works for me
Remember, this is just my opinion, in your eyes it may be wrong, and THAT I can respect.

Hey, I've got nothing against it. Just seems impossible to me to isolate 'I think I'll risk this game' from 'Well, these people liked it, and these people didn't, and I have a fair idea of the types of games these people like and don't like...'

They are pretty pretty dangerous. I really wonder what some full timers actually do with their days.
Jintor said:
I don't know if I can, I mean the hour or so before work I spend on it, the countless work hours I spend on it and then the trip home, before dinner, after dinner. Kinda means I have no time left in the day for anything but my site.

This is why Skyward Sword and Mario 3D are my only two 'must have' titles for the rest of the year. Uncharted 3 comes up there too, as even though I'm not overly dedicated or obsessive with the franchise as some, I do enjoy them and I know the campaign should be fun (multiplayer is nothing).
Otherwise, that's it. BF3 beta turned me off a day one purchase, and no amount of Bethesda false promises can commit to a day-one Skyrim purchase.

Pretty much. Hulking barbarian slaughtering all in his wake is the only way to play Bethesda games.
EDIT: I wish I got paid to write. Well, I do for Trouble, but one $50 piece a month doesn't pay the bills.
Jintor said:
Yeah, like there's this piece I wanna write about how iOS 5 is going to change the way people use their iPhones. Because for the last 4 months while using the Beta it has changed and opened up a whole swag of new things.
I'm not a tech writer by any stretch, it's not a deep and complicated look into how all the functions work etc, but just something on how iOS5 is the shit.
But alas, time.
NB. I should point out at least one person has asked me to write stuff for a certain publication and I have enjoyed doing that and very thankful for the opportunity to do it. That's really helped and inspired me too.

This too. Outside of the whole Master Race usual dick stroking, the one big thing console Bethesda game players are missing out on are mods. The Elder Scrolls community is one of the most active of them all, and the stuff they do with those games is incredible.

I can understand that. Another part of it, I guess just comes from the fact that I haven't found any people that review PC games (my primary platform) that I enjoy reading or listening to. Once Sean Elliott/Jeff Green (1UP/CGW/GFW) and Chris Remo (Gamasutra and Idle Thumbs) left the scene I never really gravitated to reading anyone else. Since then, most of my experiences with reading about PC games or watching videos about them (e.g. Giant Bomb) have been more negative than positive so I kind of gave up.
I have been gaming since I was around 8 (early 80's) and there was no review media (at least that I knew of) back then and buying games (yes at that time, my parents money) was purely a gamble where you could only go by the pictures on a box, that looked nothing like the game itself. Doing so was on one hand, negative (in that you could end up with some terrible games, E.T.) but then on the other hand find some hidden gems (e.g. Combat) that you would pour hundreds of hours into. In saying that I am happy to take the good with the bad, at least while I can afford it
.I definitely don't disagree with the notion that you, yourself, are the ultimate arbiter of whether or not you really enjoy something, but other people's opinions are still something I take note of when looking for more stuff to look at. I would never have discovered Dwarf Fortress or Minecraft for instance on my own.

I'm in St Kilda, the only thing worse than insects sticking to my clothing is the people blowing smoke everywhere...I hate smokers.jambo said:
