Fallout: New Vegas 'Old World Blues' DLC drops July 19
Jun 22nd 2011 6:17PM (Joystiq)1 more DLC pack, Lonsome Road, is coming. They've said despite Fallout 3 having 5, that New Vegas would only have the 4.
Just pissed off that they release these schedule's, saying "Oh they'll be out in May, June and July" and they can never stick to them....so we were left wondering for all of June when it was coming now they pop up to say "oh its out in July" with no explanation of why it was delayed.
Just shits me they couldn't just tell us its going to be late....Bethesda suck at DLC releases.
Australian attorney general refuses to support 18+ game rating
Sep 30th 2009 7:01PM (Joystiq)What he doesnt realise is that by opposing this Mature Rating, he's allowing material that should be in an R18+ catagory to be shoehorned into the less restricted MA15+ catagory, which people under 15 are allowed to buy the game with a Parent or Guardian possible. So 13 or 14 year olds can still get their hands on Grand Theft Auto, Gears of War, Saints Row 2, Fallout 3 etc....
But if these were in a catagory that was restricted to people over the age of 18 then it could be more heavily policed, like alcohol, and better kept out of these vunerable children's hands.
We have an underage drinking problem down here, as Im sure many other countries do, but it illustrates that no matter what laws or ratings you put in place the people you are trying to 'protect' will always get their hands on the material, be tobacco, alcohol, porn or video games.
Clearly to Mr. Atkinson, Video Games are more of threat than those other 3 things I mentioned because they're all available somewhere....and kids always get their hands on them.
Glad to see our plight is being reported outside the country. This is the crap we have to deal with day in day out -.-
L4D2 rated in other violence sensitive regions, Valve appeals Aussie ban
Sep 25th 2009 8:29AM (Joystiq)What we have is an ass-backwards Classification Board that makes random decisions that have no consistency.
Dead Rising was rated at MA15+, the Zombies in that were technically 'infected' humans as well, and you could rack up kill counts in the tens of thousands, use handheld Chainsaws, Lawn Mowers, whatever you could pick up...there was no problem there.
And also, we have a single Attorney-General who is holding up the R18+ rating because he thinks its going to put 'children in more danger of being exposed' to R18+ games...
Which is also ass-backwards because they are shoehorning things into the MA15+ rating that should be rated R18+ at the moment, and its much easier for them to get ahold of unsuitable games than if there was a heavily policed and restricted rating like an R18+
I keep saying they should just make it like alcohol, impose heavy fines on anyone who buys for, or sells R18+ games to minors...wont stop it, but it will cut down on Parental Ignorance when the cashier tells they'll be facing a massive fine for buying it for their kid, and they might wake up and pay attention.
Video: New Assassin's Creed II gameplay walkthrough
Sep 9th 2009 7:47PM (Joystiq)And restored my Faith in the Franchise....now let hope the faith survives Initial Contact with the game in November.
Former 'ilovebees' devs working on ODST meta-game 'Sadie's Story'
Sep 5th 2009 3:14PM (Joystiq)If the Audio Logs are going to provide something different from the Main Campaign, much like the BioShock Audio Logs did, then they should be worth collecting.
From what I keep hearing, this really is setting itself apart from the previous Halo's....and Im actually quite looking forward to it.
Forza 3 welcomes 1000-horsepower Bugatti Veyron supercar
Sep 2nd 2009 1:27PM (Joystiq)I've always loved the Koenigsegg ever since Top Gear put it round the track and exclaimed it would to better with a wing on the back...
BioWare looking into Mass Effect 'Pinnacle Station' DLC glitch
Aug 26th 2009 1:29PM (Joystiq)That has been the biggest waste of 800 Points I've had so far...if this is worse than it...then Wow.
Just Wow. I guess Bioware had to slip up and release something dodgy sometime...
Gears 2 Combustible map pack is Xbox's insulting deal of the week
Jun 8th 2009 3:06PM (Joystiq Xbox)Epic lost me when they changed their minds about the Retail Box of Dark Corners.
This is just bullshit. Saving my points for Fallout 3 and Burnout Paradise.
