Dragon Age: Origins

[Bastille]

Argh, stop talking about this game. Otherwise i need to buy it and i really don't want to

[Alikh]

I already ordered it on play.com . It's so easy, give in to the dark side.

[Solisil]

"It's so easy, give in to the dark side." ... we got cookies!

Oh come on Bast! You know you'll have to...
I mean, it's Bioware... *grin*

[Alikh]

But who's that behind Bioware? Oh no, it's EA!! The ones that think they have to educate their buyers by putting asinine DRM in their published games (see e.g. mass effect and spore). "That'll teach you, you naughty buyer of our games, you'd better not try to steal it now you hear?"

[Jaera]

Aha, but they dont anymore!

also steam mass effect doesnt have any drm

[Solisil]

I played Mass Effect on 360, so I had to buy it anyways...*grin*
Wich was the reason for me ordering Dragon Age on console as well..
Mass Effect was great on console.

But yeah, EA are evil... Allthough Biowares games are generally
nom noms!

[Jaera]

mass effect was better on pc

[Solisil]

Oh, you wish!

I actually tried the game on pc too, but the setup
with the controls was way better on 360. *grin*

[Jaera]

lets see:

Pc;
better controls, graphics, squad control

xbox:

poo graphics, low fps

hmm i wonder!
p.s.

you can use the 360 controller on the pc if you wanted anyway

[Pyx]

You keep the need to justify your GBP 2000+ gaming rig eh

[Jaera]

indeed mr ssd!

[Solisil]

Hahaha!! Mr, even.... oh my! *smile*

Yeah, that's true (about the controller).
That I didn't try.

But I'd go for the 360 version any time, regardless.
Alltough that might have to do with the fact that
if I use my tv instead I get full surround sound too....
And that opening theme is awesome!

[Alikh]

Aha, but they dont anymore!

also steam mass effect doesnt have any drm

Steam is wrong in one way now which is the reason I now buy my games solely on play.com or other nice sites:
$50 != €50!!!
Seriously, steam people cannot do math. Wait a sec, Jae, you don't work for steam do you?

do i now need to say you can hook your pc up to your tv any time also?

just because your pc is bad doesnt make the 360 version better




sorry im a fanboy

buy my - er i mean steams games!


yeah well they dont use euros on the british steam so its generally ok

[Alikh]

Actually, isn't the xbox just a pc in a box? It's just a standardized version of a pc as opposed to the more expensive, but completely customizable pc.

[Jaera]

hardware wise its just a 4/5 year old pc with low ram yes.

[Alikh]

Here's what EA does not only to their customers, but now to their own employees as well, all based on their financial greed:
http://www.destructoid.com/ea-cuts-jobs ... 4636.phtml

As soon as they get less money, they start cutting in anything but the people actually responsible. They also blame their losses on anything but themselves, starting with customers who are obviously all going to steal what's theirs. As soon as you start blaming your customers for your own deficits, you are way beyond repair.

[Jaera]

tutut.

just like the banks. the guys at the top never accept the blame and certainly never get the punishment

[Solisil]

*grin* Well I have to admit that the Xbox 360 sure
is an evil, evil, machine compared to anything really...

But still I kind of liked the subtle differences there was
in the controls for the Xbox version (because they had
tweaked the menu system, and party controls somewhat).

And apart from that I also liked the achievement hunting
part of the game for Xbox, can't really remember if the
pc version had that as well but I don't think so?

Alltough the new Dragon Age has them, so that's all good! *grin*
And I get to play it on both pc and ps3 (and thank the gaming
gods they didn't do an "exclusively on Xbox and pc"thing!). *happy*
