Seen that Interplay is trying to revive the Black Isle name?
With none of the same people involved and asking for money for a potential 'maybe we'll make a game in the future which you'll still have to buy' way

The "big" games companies are all fucked up at the moment.
THQ is going down the pan, Blizzard fucked up Diablo 2 royally if Hots isn't popular they're fucked. Interplay is shit. EA and Activision haven't released any new IP for years. Steam never releases any games...
I can't think of any more, but they're all shit and I'm annoyed with them.

D3 sold 11 million copies or something ridiculous, they're not in any danger
And HoTS will sell buckets, Koreans innit

But yes, none of these companies sell games I really want to play, other than THQ, but they're dead.

Valve never need money again thanks to Steam.

But hey, I'm enjoying the Witcher 2, that's all that matters.

Yeah, I got D3 on preorder, wasn't happy with it though.
Witcher 2 is a game I should get, I need more RAM though...

No it's not a game I particularly enjoyed either
I'm finally properly playing the Witcher 2 (after over a year of owning it and never touching it)

Been brilliant so far. Even with the occasional misnamed elf or some dude trying to eavesdrop on my conversation

Is it easier than the Witcher 1, that game was fucking nails.
I hear there are bonus boobs!

Nah, it's much tougher than 1
At least at the start, gets easier the more you go up the skill tree (especially swords)

But yes, boobs from the very first few seconds. Also had a nice little fuck after we fell into a cave, nice subtle game.
