how are bradford doing

PoE should be decent, Obsidian are top devs.
Flabber's gaming heart is DEAD
and you and I both know that he only needs to play Dark Souls to rekindle the fire

Unless Obsidian fucks up big time, which seems unlikely, PoE is likely to be my GOTY.
Thanks for your contribution.
Classic Hitch. Have you watched Whiplash yet?

I'll try it. I don't know when, but I will try it.
Last year, if I can recall correctly, I played exactly three games: Monument Valley, which was pleasant, I suppose; Final Fantasy IV DS, which I hadn't played since Final Fantasy Chronicles released and which I eventually abandoned at the Lunar Subterrane because I knew how it ended and didn't care any more; and Persona 3, which I was generally enjoying until I had the thought, "I wish this was better written, by someone like Haruki Murakami," after which point I put the game down and reread Kafka on the Shore.
Good lad =)
Send Wilbury a message, he's the keymaster.
Forward thinking? Not really, unless you're talking stuff like choices & consequences and themes explored. Mechanically ... not really. On many levels Pillars of Eternity is basically a much nicer looking Baldur's Gate 2, with a somewhat modernized, streamlined and customizable (compared to the old IE games at least) user interface. That's what they promised, that's what they'll be delivering.
Besides the RTWP combat, which should be pretty good, what I'm looking forward the most is the world, the story, the lore and the characters / companions. Obisidian rarely disappoint with this stuff and with PoE they went all hands on deck. Chris Avellone, Tim Cain, Josh Sawyer. Three GOATs. It doesn't get much better than this. I'm really curious to see what they were able to come up with on their own, not having to rely on (and being limited by) D&D rules and dogmas. And / or by a fucking publisher. The whole 'souls' concept, as Sawyer detailed it in various Kickstarter updates, sounds incredibly intriguing and really resonates with me.
The one major reservation I have is ... balance & polish. I'm not talking just bugs here, which I'm sure the 'early adopters' will see plenty of, but how everything gels together. Like, is this going to be more like BG1 or will they hit the ground rolling and deliver something that's more akin to BG2 in terms of it feeling organic and entirely thought-out. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

At least Dortmund are going to get paid for Reus now.
You mean Reus is staying, just like Hummels <3.
Sorry Horse, you have to keep being happy with your Ogre instead.

Hummels is dead. We need someone better.
another spurs player for Madrid fans to boo
Yeah keep your Phil Jones,Smalling and all the other shitty defenders you got and hate on someone who's a better footballer than everyone in your defence, including your midfield.

Years ago, after Uni and completing my ACCA tuition, i got a phone-call from a Financial Services company that wanted me to come work for them in Singapore. I was down for it until the lady said "you'll need to take extra training at £550 a lesson plus exam fees, plus you won't be guaranteed the job even if you pass."

Obviously haven't played DA:I
Though that's more A-->B-->A
Christ, I hope the new Mass Effect takes fucking zero cues from that game
They basically felt like expanded VR missions to me. Love how the game controls and plays, but, yeah, I expect a lot more from MGSV.
Buy PES2015.
They already said it won't.
Expect B -->A-->B. This is Bioware after all.
Open World ruins EVERYTHING. There's not much you can do with missions, ironically.
Everything is Open World today. Even that nerdy game called Akibas Trip I'm playing right now is Open World.
Japan is making everything Open World as well.
Be excited.
It's like you're the only sensible voice left in gaming
I fully expect to be shat on for calling a spade a spade again :lol
One more bland mission and then I'm going back to the insane asylum that is TEW :lol
You don't get shit and Arsenal get Benzema is how these things work.

I know, just hope they stick to their word. Some people want it to be influenced by Dragon Age, but I genuinely don't think there's anything about Dragon Age that's better than anything in Mass Effect.
I loved the proper sidequests in Mass Effect. All of them were interesting, even if the loop was normally recycled.
GTA used to be great at using the open world in interesting ways for the missions, 4 and 5 were a massive downgrade in that area. I worry that the more open structure will destroy the flow of the main story in MGSV, I trust Kojima to get it right though. And even if he doesn't, I'll still enjoy the fuck out of it
Im sorry for everyone who doesnt understand the greatness of the MGS franchise. Probably the best franchise of all time. Finishing MGS1 changed my life back then.
It was the game that made me realize that games have become serious entertainment. They have made it to the next generation of entertainment.
