Beautiful. I can't be the only one who feels like the audio is different. The tone of delivery feels different, more than just a clean up of the original. Like they re-did it. Guess you can't tell unless you see the actual game and moments with those dialogues, but I'm stoked. I don't even care if it comes out early next year. I'm getting it all over again.

[QUOTE="handssss"]1. Old 2. You can just use the built in recorder and upload things 3. HDCP Strippers/workaroundsFar_RockNYC

yes illegal work arounds LOL. 

That's kinda weird, as the components are kinda workarounds too for the PS3, and no one got into trouble there. And people have used those HDCP strippers, but hey, this might only affect exclusives anyway. Also, the 'upload to twitch then from twitch to youtube' works. So, yea.

[QUOTE="Wasdie"]

[QUOTE="parkurtommo"] Then why do they have the system that prevents simultaneous gameplay? How does one play the 2 of the same game on 2 different accounts on the same computer?II_Seraphim_II

I misread. The system does prevent you from playing somebody else's library if you start playing any game on your library.

It's very limiting. 

Come on man, its not limiting at all. Its exactly the same as lending a game to your friend, assuming you don't pirate it or use a crack. I dunno how else they could implement this system and still have a viable and profitable business. If you could have simultaneous play they would lose so much revenue. Yeah, sucks you cant share L4D with a buddy and play with them, but in all fairness, if your buddy wants to do that he should buy the game. Same thing applies for console games.if i buy COD: Modern Space Alien Warfare 3, I can lend it to a buddy of mine and he can enjoy it too, but once if we wanna play online together he has to buy it. If anything, this is a great way to try out games before buying them, or beating entire single player games without spending a dime. This multiplies your game library...I aint complaining.

Depends, now that I've thought about it, can we share the library, then game offline? At least that would mean we can play SP games without much hassle. Or will Valve work around that. I don't mind if I can't play the exact game my friend is playing, but to take away the entire library seems much. It's less that what you could do with a physical copy. Granted, it's an additional feature, so I won't complain. Especially if the offline thing works.

Seems very limiting. From what I understand, only one person can access the library at any given time, instead of say only one person can access a particular game at any given time. The second option would be much better and make this useful. The first means you've got to be on entirely different game-times to the other person. That kinda sucks, but at least it's something. My random brother half-way around the world might find this handy!

I'm on the fence too. While I enjoyed messing around in Heavy Rain, the characters and story were shambles. Or at least, they became shambles just so that the storyteller could trick/fool the gamer. It was stupid. Games like these live and die by their story, and I walked away from Heavy Rain massively disappointed. The concept is cool and still unique. I still remember my time playing Indigo Prophecy and Heavy Rain as opposed to say other standard mainstream games. So, I do want B:2S to be great, but man, I have no hope in the story.

I love a lot of the chanegs they made. Especially no more oil in the lantern or tinderboxes and no inventory etc. they all bogged down the gameplay with too much tedium and instead of adding tension they got annoying

seanmcloughlin

I liked all those things.  They were put their on purposes to slow down the gameplay.  Honestly, if lantern wasn't an issue you could easily beat the game in less than two hours.  Its very short.

It was redundant. Light stopped you going insane, yet if the lantern ran out the insanity was just a noise and screen effect. nothing major. You can complete tge entire game without with or without the lantern. Plus there's still a lantern in some parts, you just don't need to fill with oil cos it's modern age electricity times. Now you can't save up all your oil or tinderboxes and make light wherever you want. If you're in darkness you're stuck in darkness basically. 

You don't need a finnicky inventory to slow things down, all you need is some well placed horror scenarios and monsters .

Hmm, some of those things did put me off the first game. The fact that monsters seemingly vanished at times didn't sit well with me either. But damn was it scary. I'm still 50/50 on this, but I guess I could always use a horror title to play. Plus, I loved running past monsters and being chased when the 'proper' way was to wait it out, haha. Decent price too, and I might as well pre-order along with Rome 2.

It's hard because the core gameplay is pretty different. I'll always favour team-based RPGs over solo RPGs (especially where story is important), so by that alone I may prefer DA:I more. I probably have more characters I care to see again in DA than in TW. I did however think TW2 was massively awesome and way better than TW1.The best parts for TW2 for me though was when there was someone running around with you. I loved Act 1, but it kinda petered out in Act 2 and then Act 3 just ended too quickly. Too many mundane side-quests I think in Act 2. While DA games have mundane side-quests too, having a party tag along livens things up. Overall though, with Dark Souls 2, Dragon Age: Inquisition and The Witcher 3 coming out, it'll be a bloody awesome year.

I still can't get over the fact that the Titans look like shyte. I mean, I personally judge 'serious' shows way harder than lighter shows, so when you have things like potato girl, shitty looking Titans (that only attack humans....) and the particularly annoying Eren, I just can't be bothered to continue. [spoiler] The best parts were when Eren 'died', until he came back as a Titan. A pretty crappy plot twist in my eyes too, which doesn't help. Mikasa remains awesome though, but it's also painfully obvious the plot wants her to be awesome so you like her. [/spoiler] In short, I don't care for a game version.

[QUOTE="frannkzappa"]

but you get way more for free on site like anime freak.

Lucky_Krystal

I guess its just a personal thing with me. Watching something on CR or Hulu gives back to the companies a little. So if given the option I'll use those sites. I'll usually only use sites like anime freak for stuff like Legend of the Galactic Heroes and Macross Frontier; stuff that's never been and never will be licensed in the West. Or stuff that isn't on CR or Hulu, but I know for sure that I'd probably purchase once I get the money, like Katanagatari or Mawaru Penguindrum.

Just had to butt in and say, two great shows there!
