Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim built on new engine

Dec 13th 2010 10:08AM (Joystiq)
I hope this means Fallout 4 will be on that new engine too. Anyway, finding out it won't be Gamebryo just put this game back on my radar. Good work Bethesda!

World of Warcraft: Cataclysm - This is how the world ends

Dec 7th 2010 5:54PM (Joystiq)
Question for current WoW players, and now for people who have experienced the new expansion:

Is it possible to go from 1-60 solo without grinding? I enjoyed the setting and I enjoyed the combat system. So much so that I'd never skip the quest text because I actually would follow the story behind it. What turned me off from the game was that I seemed to have reached a point where I either had to have people help me complete quests, or I had to settle with grinding until I was high enough level to tackle the quests.

If that changed and I could comfortably solo from 1-60, then I'd consider giving it another shot.

Fallout: New Vegas gets retailer-specific pre-order items

Also thank you, I do enjoy taking my Xbox online. Banned? Nah, it's yet to happen. If you hop online a week or two early then maybe you're at risk, but a day or two and you're pretty safe.

If I haven't been banned for playing big games like Red Dead and MW2 early, then I'm going to safely assume the smaller titles aren't going to create such a reaction either.

I kind of feel bad for you if you automatically assume every law and rule is moral and just.

In this world legal doesn't alway equate to right, and illegal doesn't always equate to something wrong. Maybe your principles involve following the letter of the law to the dot no matter the moral implications.

Me? I tend to just do what I think is right, and avoid what I think is wrong. I don't think supporting a mom and pop shop, paying for my video game content, and getting it a day or two early is wrong, and so I don't avoid it.

Also, I'm sad to hear that some stores you know have gotten shut down for it. I frequent a couple of mom and pop stores and luckily they've been doing it for years without a problem. I suspect it's because the consumers here are loyal and never snitch about it. I may mention what I do, but you'll never hear a detail slip from me beyond "mom & pop shop."

Yes Spike, because paying a store for a game, who paid the publisher for said game is the same thing as theft.

I tend to follow rules when they make sense. Having to wait an extra two days for a finished game I'm looking to pay for just because the publisher wants me to (even though the product itself is no longer in their hands) does not make sense.

So like the Mom & Pop owners, who also do this to combat chains like Walmart and Gamestop, I ignore this rule.

I'm gonna go with the Mom & Pop Shop pack when you pre-order through most mom & pop comic/video game shops, contains:

- 2 Days - Two extra days to play the game before the street dates.

It does when the publisher knows that the game in question won't be able to benefit from any positive word of mouth. The same thing happens with movies. Not expecting good reviews? Advertise the hell out of it and hopes that drowns out any bad reviews.

GameStop to offer in-store DLC purchases and new loyalty program this year

Do you also expect all sequels to that game to be free?

Or hell, how about all games from that developer from then on, right?

I mean it's the same thing. It's new content that the developers had to work to create, so why stop at DLC? Might as well have an entitlement complex for ALL of their content.
