[QUOTE="JnWycliffe"]i believe that certain games (i won't name which, so i don't start a flame war) got the scores they did because of pretty graphics. you take the graphics of those games, replace them with something far less attractive, and those games would have probably gotten (much) lower scores. that's just my theory. what do you guys think?Jade_Monkey

I do think there are some games that got too high of a score and that they got it because of pretty visuals. I think that this entire generation of games has focused on graphics over gameplay too much although I will say that there have been plenty of good games to speak of. I will also say that Crysis earned it's score IMO. It had good gameplay, it just had a crappy ending and some bad dialogue.

aha. i didn't mean crysis, actually. i love crysis. nomad for president.

But Perseus Mandate isn't supposed to be very good at all

watch anti-social fatman's video review; link provided in in my sig.

trust me, it's better this way; google is the next new BIG evil but people don't realize it yetpromajo

that may very well be true. but ea is already evil, so google taking over is better than ea taking over.

[QUOTE="JnWycliffe"]hmm... after getting a bit more information about the install limit (3 installs *period* - installing, then uninstalling, then reinstalling on the same computer will count as two!), i'm decidedly against ALL ea games and i will not be purchasing any of their games, no matter how good they are. *cries for crysis warhead, mirror's edge, and dragon age*Fraustbite_0

Is that how it is? I was under the impression that you can install it on the same computer as many times but if you make any changes to the hardware or do something like reinstall the OS then you'll lose an activation.

I guess I'll find out if Crysis works after I install my Palit Radeon HD3850 SUPER this evening. If there are any problems, I will report them here.

i'm pretty sure that a video card swap won't trigger a new install, because i did that with mass effect, and it didn't (at least, i don't know if it did).
