1) EA states the public beta for Crysis 3's multiplayer will start on January 29, contains 2 game modes, and a level cap of 10. http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/...ins-next-week/ 2) For those interested in the PC version of Dead Space 3, Visceral Games states some bad news as it will only be a straight port of the console version and bare-bones in extra graphical options. http://www.destructoid.com/dead-spac...n-243000.phtml 3) The Dark Arisen expansion pack for Dragon's Dogma arrives this April and Capcom announces the pack itself will be included in a re-release of the game planned to arrive around the same time. Those who own the original game and buy the disc version of the rerelease will get some "freebies" as compensation. http://kotaku.com/5978251/this-april...ges-you-wanted Last edited by Emperor Smeat; 01-23-2013 at 08:30 PM. |

Got worried for a second, didn't see the article and thought Logitech was shutting down. Wouldn't be able to use my PC without a Logitech mouse or keyboard.

Daily Gaming News:
1) According to Vigil Games, they were working on a new project called "Crawler" but was seen as too risky to buy during the THQ auction which is why it wasn't bought nor the studio itself. http://www.screwattack.com/news/vigi...-crawler-works 2) Update to Dead Space 3 having microtransactions as Visceral Games claims it was done as a way to cater to mobile gamers and those who are used to paying for "instant gratification." http://www.destructoid.com/dead-spac...s-243152.phtml 3) New rumors regarding the Durango dev kits for the next Xbox might reveal the spec jump for the next Xbox won't be as high as previous assumptions. In terms of graphics, it would be about a 5x jump and not the 10x jump Epic Games wants as a minimum for their new Unreal 4 tech. http://www.screwattack.com/news/rumo...ecs-discovered 4) Ubisoft reveals the collector's edition for Splinter Cell Blacklist is called the "Paladin Collector’s Edition", costs $170, comes with a remote controlled RC plane, and will only be available for the PS3 and Xbox. http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/...with-rc-plane/ Last edited by Emperor Smeat; 01-25-2013 at 08:33 PM. |

Got a question. I wasn't gonna whip up a new thread because I'd figure I'll get a next post answer. And we kinda don't have a type of "100k replies thread" here on the VG board.
Going for all achievements on 360 on a game. However, there's some attached to some DLC that I do not want to purchase. The question is, does the icon still show up on your completion list when you get all original achievements in a game? Stupid question it may be, but I'm just don't wanna shell out the points just for full completion. |

It may have changed, but the extra points areneeded for full completion once the game is out. I think it even takes away your completion if you had it.

That's what I thought.
It must have changed fairly recently because when Omega came out for ME3, point total didn't increase, and the icon is still there. *sigh* Decisions, decisions....... |

I think I still have credit for Monday Night Combat, but I've got several games where the new achievements seem to have removed my completionist icon, even if I haven't played them.

You would think they wouldn't wanna do it that way, but they do.
I have the same problems with games that have requirements that are multiplayer-only achievements..... sooooooooooooooo annoying!!! Example: In Borderlands 2 there are in-game challenges (that lead to achievements) that require you to be a passenger of a vehicle and manning the gun while moving, getting X amount of kills on Y enemies. On a side note, my son decided to grab hold of my disc tray and yank on it this morning before I left for work. Now it doesn't even close all the way. Going to try to realign it without taking it apart, but I managed to get some Torx screwdrivers if I absolutely have to get in there. No moar Skyrim for a bit..... that makes me sad |

So get someone to play split screen with you so you can get that Borderlands 2 achievement, you don't HAVE to be online for that one. Not a good example.

You have to revive someone that is on your friends list, but I think that's the only one without looking up the secret achievements I don't have.

Dawn guard is okay. Hearthfire is basically a really simplified mine craft.
Dragon born is the best. Takes you well outside of skyrim into a new land. |

I thoroughly enjoyed Dawnguard, playing through the Dawnguard story now, actually. If you take the time to take in the game, read the various books around, etc. The DLC has much more substance. If you wanna barrel through it, it will take around 5-6ish hours to complete. the new areas are awesome (im0) as well as some of the new spells you can get (currently on my caster).
Didn't care to build my own house, I skipped Hearthfire. Dragonborn is a must have DLC for this title, especially if you are a long time fan of the Elder Scrolls universe. |

Battlefield 3 premium is on sale on Live. Kind of want to bite but I don't think anyone plays it anymore on my friends list and it's not a game you can just go solo on

Daily Gaming News:
1) Disney has shut down Junction Studios with the poor sales of Epic Mickey 2 seen as the key reason behind the decision. For US sales comparisons, Epic Mickey for the Wii managed to sell around 1.9 million copies while Epic Mickey 2's combined sales from five consoles barely reached 800,000 (Wii version sold 600,000). http://www.screwattack.com/news/disn...junction-point 2) According to the director for Dark Souls 2, the game is roughly 25% finished and revolves heavily around the concept of time and/or time traveling. http://www.destructoid.com/dark-soul...d-243490.phtml 3) Rockstar says they are open to ideas of a future GTA taking place within a sci-fi or future setting but don't have enough ideas at the moment to make it possible any time soon. http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/...-ideas-needed/ 4) Visceral Games explains the reason why the PC port of Dead Space 3 is being "nerfed" is due to making sure the game stays the same for all platforms. Also announced was the game has four unlockable modes available after the game is beaten once (New Game Plus, Pure Survival Mode, Hardcore Mode, and Classic Mode). http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/...rt-pc-version/ http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/...-dead-space-3/ |

I rather it be a future setting without the '50's idea of the future' with tube slides and flying cars. Just something of an 'advanced' setting in a subtle way. Not so subtle it'd be pointless, but not super sci-fi either.

So I was told this week by one of my lecturers at university that around April/May I'll be giving a presentation on the game I've been working on with my team.
Nothing big there, but he did go on to say that it'll be happening when my university hosts some convention for people in the games industry, so he said there's a big chance that I could be doing my presentation infront of guys from Ubisoft, EA, Rockstar North and other big names and that in the past, people from the games companies that have attended have liked what they've seen and given out apprenticeships and all that. Pretty insane stuff. |
