Final Steam Sale of 2011 predicts zombie apocalypse, crime in 2012

@Knives Chau

The first one controls a little wonky on the PC but the port for the second was excellent.

Dude at least you got a game, if you don't want Dota 2, feel free to gift it :)

Skyrim PC patched, can now claim 4GB RAM

Not only is this a tiny change that is actually just rolling back a patch they did before, but they're able to release patches on PC instantly whereas on PS3 it has to go through Sony's moderation first.

Trine 2 review: Trine to fit the pieces together

3 lines in the review devoted to co-op which is the crux of the experience, and is the means by which of most the traversal puzzles really come into their own. Right.

Zenimax: Skyrim ships 10 million copies, outsells other PC titles three to one

Eh looking at the concurrent player counts, ESPECIALLY around release time has me believe that they didn't need to fudge figures here.

The Morrowind UI was awful, you had to mouse over each individual item to see what even its name was, let alone the stats. I'd like something closer to a hybrid between what Skyrim has now and the UI mods that came out for Oblivion.

Transformers: Fall of Cybertron rolls out in the fall of 2012

I'm not even a fan of Transformers and that looked great.

Bethesda ships 7 million Skyrim launch units, expects $450 million in return

My mistake, I thought you were the other guy. I know of the discrepancy between vertical and horizontal sensitivity(that's not what Sage was talking about), and the other I came across when rebinding my POV key to Z.

First one is bothersome I agree, so I downloaded a mod to lock my framerate, and the mapping issue was only a momentary annoyance until I searched for what was going on. Basically all they need to do is change the prompt in menus to reflect your new binding and I'm hopeful it will be in the patch.

These are minor quibbles though in the overall scheme of things, and I definitely don't feel "screwed".

You complained about the mouse, which is ONLY an issue for pirates. I shouldn't bother responding, but sick of seeing stuff like this being posted and ignoring it.

-Rebinding is fine for most people(except for how it doesn't tell you that rebinding first person will also change the favourite key, hardly a game ruining experience however). This is the first complaint I've seen about it.

-Yep, texture resolution isn't great, but the art direction sure is which more than makes up for it. There are tweaks out there to make the shadows look better and I'm sure there'll be a graphics extender of sorts out within a month or 2. But really, neither of those things make the game no longer fun or engrossing.

-The UI works fine, though is explained poorly. Most people who have an issue with it don't know you can bind things in your favourites to hotkeys because the game doesn't ever seem to straight up tell you that. I really don't understand people saying it works better on a gamepad considering that you can do everything just as quickly using only Tab-W-A-S-D and E, plus with the added functionality of your mouse (which, again, would work if you had bought the game or at least known how to patch it.)

I'm sure plenty of Bethesda employees are wanting to put their own fists through their personal monitors due to pirates complaining about the mouse UI functionality, spreading moronic lies about their product.
