If this is what you want, then play Battlefield

Agreed, sadly, I can't run Linux and play most of the games I really love. Sure I can play Minecraft all day long, but most of the RPG's out there just do not run under it.

With their push for some sort of united gaming platform between XBone, Windows, Windows phone, I think they are trying to make it easier to monetize shitty games. (Not to mention crushing the now booming Linux gaming market) The problem becomes all of the platforms are so radically different.

WTF!?!?! So Kingdoms of Amalur is one of my favorite games to be honest. Sure it is long, grindy, and repetitive as hell at times; however it is really well written, and the landscapes are amazing. Not to mention the gear and crafting. So anyway, here you go http://techraptor.net/content/sec-charges-fraud-in-38-studios-closure Four years after the shutdown of 38 Studios, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is finally getting involved in the case. 38 Studios was founded by former baseball pitcher Curt Schilling, and was the one-time developer of the RPG Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, in partnership with Big Huge Games and published by Electronic Arts. While the game was a modest hit, it failed to help pay the bills for 38 Studios, which were in debt to the excess of $1.125 million to the State of Rhode Island after the game was complete,which was paid late after the initial check bounced. 38 Studios at the time was working on a MMO, code-named Project Copernicus, which would take place in the Amalur universe. However, due to rising debts and poor business decisions on the part of Schilling, in particular moving the studio to Rhode Island with mounting debts and Shillingeffectively going broke by spending $50 million out of his own pocket to keep the studio afloat, would lead to both Big Huge Games and 38 Studios closure in 2012. The involvement with the SEC is primarily hit against the lenders to 38 Studios, Wells Fargo and the Rhode Island Commerce Corporation (formerly the Rhode Island Economic Development Corporation.) The SEC has claimed that both companies actively lied to investors, defrauding them by not telling 38 Studios how much they needed to complete Project Copernicus. According to the SEC, “We allege that the RIEDC and Wells Fargo knew that 38 Studios needed an additional $25 million to fund the project yet failed to pass that material information along to bond investors, who were denied a complete financial picture.” Project Copernicus was originally given a $50 million loan from Wells Fargo and RIEDC, a loan 38 Studios was struggling to not only pay due to their move to Rhode Island, but was apparently short-changed, if the SEC’s claims of an extra $25 million to fully fund the project are true. The SEC also alleges that Wells Fargo acted with a conflict of interest in the entire case, representing 38 Studios and the State of Rhode Island at the same time. Three individuals in the case have been charged with aiding and abetting the fraud. Former RIEDC executives Keith W. Stokes and James Michael Saul, two of the participants, have already settled their charges, paying $25,000 a piece but not admitting to the allegations legally. Wells Fargo’s lead banker Peter M. Cannava has disputed the charges, and a lengthy court battle may be in the future. To date, the State of Rhode Island is paying back the majority of the debts owed by 38 Studios, which is in excess of $116 million that was owed to Rhode Island in the aftermath of the companies closure. That amount is currently being paid through Rhode Island taxes for the next twenty years.

Lets not and say we did

I only liked the first Fable game, Fable 2 felt like it should have been two totally seperate games. Not to mention huge Oil monsters? Star Trek: TNG wants their monster back

Yea man, I am losing faith

http://www.videogamer.com/news/microsoft_studios_site_removes_5_more_studios.html UPDATE 21:42: Microsoft has provided VideoGamer with the following statement in response to this story: "On Monday we announced changes to Microsoft Studios including Lionhead and Press Play. As part of these changes, we did a site refresh and removed several logos for older studios and projects that have been consolidated during the past several years into other Microsoft Studios and teams. As games launch and new projects come online, we routinely make these kinds of moves to ensure we have the right development support on the right games." ORIGINAL STORY: Logos for Lionhead Studios and Press Play Studios have both been removed from the Microsoft Studios website following yesterday's announcement that both are set to close. But that's not all. A further five studios and the Project Spark logo were also removed from the website last night, including Kinect Joy Ride developer BigPark, along with Function Studios, Good Science, LXP and SOTA. Here's how the website looked on March 4 according to Google Cache: And here's how it looks today: While it isn't clear when exactly the changes to the website were made, a Google Cache update reveals they were carried out after 17:24 GMT last night, following the announcement regarding Lionhead and Press Play. Microsoft has yet to state why the additional studios have been removed from the website - yesterday's announcement only spoke of its plans for Lionhead and Press Play. Some, however, have speculated that it may be due to their links to Hololens, which may not specifically be geared towards gaming. Project Spark's servers, meanwhile, have been offline since Friday, March 4, according to an update on the game's website, which the team is said to be "investigating". Last September, Microsoft announced that the game was being transitioned into a "free incubation engine" and that all future DLC had been cancelled. Source: microsoftstudios.com

I know Bioware was taking an odd turn towards the worst, but damn

And another one just bailed on Bioware http://www.pcgamesn.com/mass-effect-andromeda/mass-effect-andromedas-senior-editor-leaves-the-game-industry

This thread is making me realize how many old fourm folks I miss grouping with. Komical and OTC Prime being the ones I really miss.

Exactly! Add Geodude and Psyduck and you basically have the team I used to beat Blue back in the day

BLASTOISE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do not try to go to the old mw2forum either. It tried to blow up my work computer, and damn near gave me a seizure

What was the mission count in Destiny at launch? Or even any of the CoD games (Count chapters as missions I guess)?

Holy shit I don't have the memories that you all have, but I do remember gaming with him, and seeing his posts.

Yea, this was my thought as well. I should have been able to drop the tables, and then remove the database. I am thinking there are bad sectors on the HD platters here. Going to just stop for now. Migrate the data elsewhere, and then just shred the drive

I did do the cmd line, and it hung as well. Did not try safe mode yet.

So, I have a 90gb database I need to delete, the problem is that it hangs Windows 7 when I delete it. Either in the Dos, SQL, or Win Explorer. For the drive this is on, I have Archiving, and Indexing turned off There are no backup services running. The drive itself is a 500gb 7200rpm Western Digital HD. Not really sure why this thing is hanging on me. I would format the drive if I could, but I have data on there I can't just migrate. I have never seen something like this before, so am at a loss. Any ideas?

Just started the game, did the first two missions. It is WAY different than it was at release.

Also, isn't Warframe an FPS and not an RPG?

I play occasionally, but haven't grouped with any folks in a month

What?

Not sure what there is to discuss honestly. This is pretty accurate of Bungie, and Activision for the last few years. (Since around the time of WoW: Cataclysm) It is one of the main reasons I uninstalled the game, and unless Jsin sends me naughty Miranda/ Tali pics, won't be going back. Fusion Rifles are a prime example of this, as are Auto Rifles, and what happened to Pistols. (And what is going to happen to pistols again soon) EDIT: LOLZ didn't think there was anything to discuss, wrote a multi sentence response
