Well sometimes those firms do operate like that. For example, I was suppose to start paying off my student's loan some time ago. Money was on the account (more than enough), the first rate was substracted by the bank as it should be. But a couple of days later I receive a letter from a bailiff...
Maybe this time around they will provide a storyline that is not retarded and boring to tears. For me, the first couple of hours of AC2 were good, until the game drags on through boring quests into a completely fucking horrible ending.
Storylines in Brotherhood and Revelations should be shot...
Didn't bother to check, my bad.
As for the engine in BG - I hated the mechanics, the small inventory etc. Backgrounds were perfectly fine for me, I wish for a game that would catch a similar feel.
"Take heart fellow adventurers, for you have curried the favor of Boo, the only miniature giant space hamster in the Realm!
I can teach you how to use your wrath."
For fuck's sake, will they never quit the space hamster bullshit? I'm sick of tying Baldur's Gate 2 to Minsc and Boo everytime...
I think microtransactions are a way to go. For example, Dungeons and Dragons Online and Lord of the Rings Online can now be played for free due to this system. Of course you will have to pay sooner or later, but hey - you get a really big chunk of the game free of charge, and then you don't have...
Perhaps zombies will not be in a 20000:1 ratio to humans, but just enough to not let the survivors get rid of them. This would mean having enough time to do some stuff without jumping from one "OMG zombies chase us" sequence to another.
Was hoping for a new Icewind Dale. I've seen way too many South Park episodes to be interested in this. Perhaps if it turns out really good I may change my mind, otherwise not even remotely interested.
I only played about an hour of GTA IV, but from my experience the driving was very unpleasant, which basically killed the game for me. That, and the awesome amount of bugs in the PC version.
