  Considering we've seen precisely 0 seconds of gameplay, I'm not counting any chickens.

• EA's MOBA Dawngate is trying to do a couple of things differently

• RedSparrows 21/05/2013

  I'm being negged for suggesting that 'online only' kind of makes sense for a MOBA? WTF.

  It's a MOBA. You could play it for 30 mins offline, and then... ?!! Reply 0

  Too Human was an excellent game hidden within a mediocre one.
  
  A level 50 zerker in full flow is still one of my favourite things in gaming, no matter how shoddy some parts of the game were.
  
  Did SK illegally use an engine? Or did they sue (and fail) Epic over accusations of the latter breaking a contract re: their engine, which they didn't. Reply +11

  I love how none of that made much sense to me :D Reply +1

  Having tried LoL, DOTA2, that free one on Steam, etc, the one I always go back to is Guardians of Middle Earth. It's had some ridonkulous problems, and is simpler than those others, but it has one thing going for it: direct control of your character, a la first/third person games. I love RTS, but I can't stand the RTS controls for DOTA2 - I want immediacy.
  
  I can, however, see the MOBA appeal. The community on GofME seems slightly less twattish, which is nice. Reply +2

  @rotmm IIRC, it wasn't stealing tech from Epic, it was suing them over 'failure to support' their engine, when Epic had no obligation to. Could be totally wrong. Reply 0

• RedSparrows 15/05/2013

  It does sound a bit dodgy - but on the other hand, they could be entirely legit and nobody would believe them. Either way, they're probably doomed. Reply 0

  EG highlight a dev saying PS4 woo and everyone goes nuts.

• XCOM's new perspective: how The Bureau stays true to the original's strategic heart

• RedSparrows 13/05/2013

  @Shinetop Agreed, it is baffling.
  
  As Lemming says, this could work without the IP - and might actually be better for it.
  
  Yet I am not convinced it's destined to be toss. Reply +10

• RedSparrows 13/05/2013

  To be honest, as much as I love XCom and all, I quite like the style of this. I don't think it devalues Xcom whilst we have the 'proper' game alongside (and the ever present UFO: EU still playable and ruling all). Reply +13

• Inside Watch Dogs, Ubisoft's new open world

• RedSparrows 10/05/2013

  Sounds like it could be grand. Or just so much Ubi all filler no killer.
  
  Unreasonably cynical? Probably. But I'm very wary of systems that promise a lot, e.g. the ability to hack into random AI phones that'll generate new content etc in the form of missions et al... as they might end up essentially being a new way to get the same old content: activate A, go to B, shoot XYZ.
  
  Basically: I'm more interested in what you actually do - the second-to-second movement, not where or why you are doing it. See: Ninja Gaiden. Reply +22

• Civilization 5 - Brave New World: Are culture players finally getting the endgame they deserve?

  My rule with Civ: only play the next version once all the expansion packs and updates have been released. Civ IV is glorious in its fullest form. Reply +4

  I am not so keen on Spies knifing Mercs off the bat, however. Seems too simple. Reply 0

• RedSparrows 08/05/2013

  @Carter0108 The term 'king of multiplayer' has no relevance to the SP campaign of CT, which was grand.
  
  Why can't both exist, when both are so good? SC online, alongside Halo, IS the King of MP for me. Reply 0

  Small word: just because someone is a father at the (very) irresponsible age of 13 doesn't make them a psychopath. Cutting a 'friend's' throat does, however. Reply +25
