The unit seems to be uncomfortable to hold :/
Yep. Just before lunch right now.
Why do you call giving away Plants VS Zombies a devaluation,
when cheap (imho almost a race to the bottom) sales happen all the time?

Guys, grabbed Ghost Recon Future Soldier the other day for £3 during all the e3 sales. I remember the game getting a lot of criticism for dat ubisoft lack of optimisaiton and right enough, 2 year old game is only pulling 40fps in game despite a nice modern rig. Working my way through Spec Ops the line first (got that too, very impressed) but anyone in here play GRFS/remember what the hogs were with performance so I have an idea what to tweak when I go back to it? If not, cheers anyway, Spec Ops story is top notch, peace out.

I'm glad I come to Neogaf for my news!
/sarcasm-esque
I'm seeing this mostly in hardware focused sites... but it still looks dumb!

Global Illumination and Volumetric smoke were added post launch, disable them and it will run like butter. Im the expert here on Future Soldier
Well, enjoy the heat. Or at least be happy that it isn't also humid (this personally gets me).
Its a reference to a statement where David DeMartini, the head of Origin, commented on the deep discounts seen on Steam:

Fuck I entered, I just realized I got that from the pre order bonus, you wanna host it again or should I?
First time i played a Lego game and im having a blast with it. Im with Lord of the Ring and is easy but fun and adictive. And i guess the best LotR game(the last game i finished was War of the North and is the definition of meh)
In other hand i started Alien Colonial Marine and is a buggy game and sure not a great one. But is not that bad. Have some good moments. At least for me is better than Homefront.

Cheers man, that's why I posted haha, there's always someone!
Him? Oh, I see the problem.
You're failing to realize that Shepard is actually supposed to be a woman and not some Tom Brady look alike:
What code do I input to get a character that looks like her?

Where did you pre-order from? Doesn't show any option to buy the game for me.

Especially by giving them for free with a buggy coupon. Tragedy is, they ruined most of their IPs by forcing fast and horrible releases. Somebody should buy Maxis and Westwood corpses from EA. At least then we can give them a proper burial.
That is one of the predefined choices.
In order to save some summer sale money, have some games now

But I don't remember her looking that good with the predefined ones! Maybe I should go back and play a bit more of the ME games.
And Popcap i still waiting for the true PvZ 2
A lot of true sequels:
Sim City, Dungeon Keeper, Battlefield, etc.
Fuck you EA

Thanks. Eff it, getting it for $10 and supporting the dev directly, hope this game delivers.

did you just put a poop on Portal?
Postal.
What you were looking at is an illustration, not an image of the in-game model.
nope, unless you nuke it all from orbit
That's a lot of work.
I royally screwed this one.
I hope people will notice it's not free for all, or everyone will be disqualified.
edited: I wonder if stump could fix it, but he's probably sleeping now.
i voted for the only one I dont have. nobody else matters, this is a fact
except jasec, he matters.
he matters because he has everything so hes harmless. like a little piglet.
Haha, people have given away stuff I don't yet have, but even so I've never entered a giveaway.
is this a principle thing?
The trader spirit within him yearns for equivalent exchange

Bosses do, if the level is too high you may even find it impossible to complete the main quest.
For the most part it's because it wouldn't be right to win something I'm unlikely to play, but I even ignored the Witcher 3 giveaway because, for some reason, it still would've felt "wrong" to win it (I later paid 13 keys for it).
Well, obviously it was an illustration. I wish it was possible to easily make a character that looked that good in game though, since I don't remember liking any predefined face and even after setting on my customizations I still wasn't satisfied with my end result.
I thought you'll only be disqualified if you input more than one game in the same pm, but if you send multiple pms to modbot, only the first counts and the others would simply be ignored? Am I misremembering this?
Btw, great giveaway! Not entering anything, though
That's very good to know, thank you!
uh hu
too good for our little keys are you? how do we little people look from way up on your saiorse shaped throne? like ants? ants to be fed to your attack koala-spider mutants? is that it?
you make me sick
Really, dude?
;I could understand comments like that if we were talking about some anime-esque character, but no way does default FemShep look like a teenager in that render. Early- to mid-20's, maybe.

Don't believe you, in your case I think it's because it would take the fun away for you to just get a game for free, you like to chase the best price posible.
In a game also releasing on consoles? I highly doubt this will come to fruition soon.
The best character creator I've seen yet is the one for EVE; hilariously, the characters are completely superfluous.
