• EA unveils Battlefield 4, powered by Frostbite 3, with 17-minute gameplay trailer

• Fork_Handles 27/03/2013

  I was pleased that they didn't turn the leg amputation scene into a BF3-style QTE:
  
  Press E,F Space,LB!
  
  You failed to press random buttons quickly enough and he's bled to death, please replay the last 10 minutes. Again.
  
  I know the BF3 SP was bolted on, but I played it just to get some familiarity with the game before jumping into the MP - those pointless QTEs really annoyed me!
  
  That trailer has certainly got me interested in what the MP will look like. Reply +1

  @Breach Well, I can't be held responsible for EG correcting the article after my finely crafted comment, thus rendering my comment stupid looking for everyone who hadn't read the article before they corrected their spelling. Bah.

  Sorry to be that guy, but someone needs to be taught how to spell taut.

• The Interesting Sequels of 2013

• Fork_Handles 04/01/2013

  Total War Rome 2 is pretty high up on my list of most anticipated releases for this year. In fact it's actually sat right at the top of my list. So there. Reply +11

  @MerricK Click on the link in the email you got when you first bought the bundle and your new game should show up there I think. Reply +2

  @Boomerang Same $25 spent here (I mean, £16 for all of these games!) - even though I can't see myself having enough time to play any of them! Reply +2

  @uninspiredcup As long as the base building is on the strategic campaign map and not on the battlefield I'll be happy.
  
  So basically Rome 2 with Orcs.
  
  Mmmmm... sounds pretty much like my geeky 11 year old self's dreams come true, and it's only taken them 30 years! Reply +4

• Face-Off: Trine 2 on Wii U

• Fork_Handles 05/12/2012

  @Arwin Thanks for reminding me my monitor has 3D! Just tried the original Trine in 3D and it looks awesome, I'll be giving Trine 2 a go when I've finished it! I'm still working my way through a backlog of games courtesy of the Steam sales.
  
  As for the Wii U, I'm glad the game looks great on it too, the more people who play it the better. Reply +2

• Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition review

• Fork_Handles 04/12/2012

  @Sunyavadin ...Except porting it to Android and iPad, which is what a lot of people here are holding out for. I'm hoping it works OK with touch controls, it'll be a day one purchase for my Nexus 7 if it does. Reply 0

• Grid 2 Preview: No Assists Please, We're British

• Fork_Handles 08/08/2012

  Well, I liked Grid, and I was one of the '5%' that used the in car view, so this is disappointing.
  
  I hope they've decided to allow players to chose which cars they can have on different tracks, the restricted choice in the first game was annoying after a while. Oh, and I also hope they allow voice chat to carry on while the game is loading, this got really frustrating when I played with my mates - lots of broken conversations and long loading times. Maybe that was just a PS3 thing though? Reply +3

• Total War: Rome 2 will deliver "a darker vision of war"

• Fork_Handles 06/07/2012

  Bah, I was hoping to see the 10 minutes of demo footage.
  
  Still, Rome 2! Yay! I hope it's a worthy sucessor. Reply +6

• EA wants to know what you think of Origin

• Fork_Handles 03/05/2012

  I installed Origin so I could try the BF3 beta last year, and didn't have too much bother with it to be honest.
  
  However, last month I saw EA were flogging Batman Arkham City cheaper than I could buy it from Amazon, so I went ahead and bought it. Cue 7 hours of frustration and forum post reading to try and get Origin to work after it updated itself as part of the Batman install. It just would not work at all. I was about to give up and demand a refund when I stumbled upon a forum post that contained a suggested fix for an entirely different error, and low and behold it worked - it involved downloading a beta client installer and renaming a temp launcher executable to be the main Origin executable.
  
  So anyway, I got to play but only after wasting half a day and jumping through a bunch of totally unneccessary hoops. So that kind of annoyed me.
  
  Last week it downloaded another update and stopped working again, but renaming the exe worked.
  
  So my experience with Origin is that it doesn't work without manual intervention, and stops me playing when I want to play.
  
  Down with this sort of thing! Reply +5

• CCP: players' attempt to destroy Eve Online economy is "f***ing brilliant"

• Fork_Handles 27/04/2012

  "Last night I got an email - Jita was at 2100. Time dilation kicked in at 15 per cent. And there were people just watching the sh*t that was going down. It was brilliant. It was absolutely great."
  
  Eh? As a non-Eve player, that's just a bag of nonsense right there. Reply +74

• Wargame: European Escalation Review

• Fork_Handles 24/04/2012

  Hmmm. I play Combat Mission Battle for Normandy and I don't think it's especially obtuse or difficult. But then again, I'm a weirdo because I like CMBN in the first place. Reply 0

  The link to the Official site in the article is actually a link to the patch announcement post at the fansite TWCenter.net.

  Looks like a great patch - looks like I'll be playing some Shogun 2 over the weekend. Reply +2

• Battlefield 3 Review

• Fork_Handles 25/10/2011

  I'm not buying this game for the single player side, or the co-op. In fact, I would have preferred it if their single player campaign was just bot matches on the MP maps so I could practice flying jets and copters. Reply +4
