geez loise fiaryn, did you whine every time a game doesn't give you a choice about something or do you just hate dogs?
'save cortana from the flood? but i don't wanna!'
I'm going to assume you're joking, but in case you're not:
Yeah I DO have a problem with not having a choice, particularly when it's about highly unnecessary shit. In an adventure game, being saddled with an NPC with no real choice is not appealing. And no, Cortana and the Dog are in no way equitable. I'm not even going to pretend that's a legitimate analogy, you shouldn't either. Stop that. What really irritates me more than anything though is that they do give you a choice but it's slanted as all get out. Better no choice than a heavily slanted one.
"Oh sure you can not have the dog, just crush your empathy first and you're a-go!"

Never played through Half-Life 2, the game bored me to death. Couldn't give you a reason either, it's kinda odd.
It's not that odd. The game is a tedious snooze-fest
I am confused. I know what all these words mean, but I can't comprehend the sentence.
Half-Life 2 =
a screaming baby
and yet your signature clearly shows you're playing through lost odyssey, being a jrpg, the only genre of game shown to be less exciting than watching paint dry
I am enjoying the hell out of Lost Odyssey. I guess I like games with a story? And a protaganist that talks?
Seriously, there is nothing to argue about, I think half-life 2 sucks and that really shouldn't ruin your day.
I gave it an honest no shit full playthrough with the orange box... thank god portal ruled and EP2 had its moments.
So how about that Fable dog?
so you like games that are glorified pulp trash fantasy novels and not games that are actually games
Wow, 4? 5? pages of dog complaints and no one mentions the true issue. The reason why the guy is upset is that you have to choose to run away to get rid of it. Why can't you give the dog to a nice kid? Why can't you give it to a blind man, or to a woman as a gift? It's forcing you to be a dick to get rid of it. I think that's the point the other person was trying to make, and a point I agree with.
According to someone on Wikipedia, you can tie it up to a pole and fuck it. Though I'm waiting for a citation.
And you can't choose the easy way because the dog is a mechanic that they want to have in the game. It's like bitching about how you can't choose to play as Dante for the entirety of DMC4. Thats the design choice they've made.
It's a dog that will serve you loyally like any dog and, as Petey has said, is designed to NOT get in your way. Its just an NPC that will stick by your side through thick and thin. If you want to get rid of it, you're being a dick. If you think it will in some way dramatically reduce your enjoyment of the game, you're being a dick. If you do actually go out of your way to injure and run away from it, you are being a huge dick.
My point is, its a cool dog and it could be one of the best and most obvious attempts at drawing you into a game ever. I will have to pray for this to come to the PC but I for one cannot wait to run into battle with my loyal doggy at my side. I will not be getting pissy because its limping for biting the guy trying to kill me.

What's this peer fucking review shit all about? I'm interpreting those lines as saying "you can put up your own games as long as microsoft gives it the OK."
So uh, tell me I'm wrong and please quote some text saying what the XNA features are all about. I really want to buy all the stuff now, if they're saying what I hope they're saying.

Sorry I forget that Peer-Review isn't a widely used thing. Basically it's the exact opposite.
Peer review is what makes Science awesome basically - and MS have stolen it for this.
Instead of microsoft checking every single indie game to make sure it doesn't violate IP, or is terrible, or broken, or bugged. Which would cost huge amounts of money they instead (before a game is released to the general public) give it to other indie developers for them to rate and comment on. If they like it, it gets through. If it's broken on shit, or stolen then it doesn't.
tl ; dr - the developers of indie games all review each others games before they are published to check they are decent. So standards are massively higher, and as it's free to MS the games can be free OR charged.
I really don't want the dog. I love dogs, and appreciate them for creating that particular mechanic, but you just know something horrible is going to happen to it sooner or later, and I'd be sad for weeks
It's a thing I have. You know that one quest in The Witcher where you have to slaughter dogs for the gravedigger? Man, the completionist got the better of me in that one, but I felt so fucking bad after having done it. If there's anything that can move me emotionally, it's dogs. Not much else, but dogs get me every time.
Cherrn on
All creature will die and all the things will be broken. That's the law of samurai.
I don't get you. Youtube isn't peer review. It's open review.
In science, peer review is when one lot of researchers work is checked by sending it to other scientists who try and prove it wrong. If they can't it gets published. If Peer-Review followed the YouTube model, then Darwinsim woud be fucked.
(Aside: Despite me being really, really happy theyve done it this way - it's peer review which has kept me from the forums recently as I argue with my Peer Reviewer on the nature of the Interstellar medium. It's not fun - but it keeps standards so fucking high.)

It depends, hopefully it will give you the choice. It tried this in the first one with the sister and you're all, ok, I knew her for 2 minutes then I met her again, I don't really give a shit, bam. I only went good because I was good and doing the opposite would be, well, evil. The dog seems to be an effort to change the severe lack of empathy you had for your fairly lame family characters.

Speaking of which, am I the only one that doesn't like it in Proximity HD that you can't leave a game and go back to the menu screen? Also it seems to roll against you like crazy. The comps get to throw down high double digits while i'm always sitting there with a hand of single digit tiles. BOOOO.
Jelly Car: love this, but some of the physics on the puzzles could use a bit of work. I find that i'm often getting flipped upside down with no real way of righting my self. If they want to make the game so that it is all about perfecting it on one pass then they need to adjust the acceleration/deceleration of the car so that you can manage your movements better. I'm specifically referring to the Crusher level.
Right yourself by tilting the control stick left and right and messing with the gas
he could have been a bit more clear on that though.
Yeah, i got that. But the design of the Crusher level in a lot of places prohibits your ability to right yourself. so you find yourself just flipping and then getting caught and flipping and getting caught. in some of the more complex levels it seems there either needs to be a better way to right yourself or more control of the movement so that you don't get into those positions to begin with.
Edit: this isn't a huge deal, because the game is silly in general so it doesn't feel overly frustrating, but i think it's easy to imagine a lot of cool level designs that could be made for the game which would be limited by the lack of control over this one aspect.
All this XNA stuff is great and all, but when can we actually play these games? Seems like we've been hearing about Dishwasher for a year now.
Now and for the next 17 days you can play a bunch of em. Dishwasher, Jelly Car, Culture and a few more.
Go to "new arrivals" scroll to the bottom and download 'XNA Community Games" thingy, this adds a new tab in your "game library" which lets you download the games.
Everyone keeps mentioning Jelly Car.. am I missing something? I tried it, I drove my tilty, wobbly car from left to right, hit the exit.. and that's it. End of demo. It was basically no different to the many, many Flash games I see every week when I'm bored. Culture started off nicely, but ran out of ideas before it got going.
Now Dishwasher? That's a game I'm buying on release because goodness me is that refined awesome and beauty.

Fable 2 looks like its shaping up to what it was meant to be in the first place.
Ninja Gaiden 2 holy shit.
UT3 Engine upgrades for Gears of War-glad they're keeping up with tack-on engine additions, they better fix the pop in and memory management garbage alot of developers are facing.
Wow, NG2 looks really underwhelming. It essentially looks exactly like NG1 in terms of graphical prowess, though I'm sure the game will still kick my ass.
Team Ninja games have been a little underwhelming in general since the original XBox and DOA3. The games are getting better looking, but the problem is they have a weird style of putting anime/manga inspired characters into highly modeled and textured scenes.
If you compare directly, you'll notice that the textures have gotten much sharper in NG2, and the difference in display resolution is of course pronounced. Really though, I think that they've basically gone as far as is possible with their aesthetic, since they don't incorporate volumetric lighting or even much in the way of normal mapping in their games. We're still basically just seeing flat-shaded characters put into sharply textured costumes and levels.
Man. I really wish stuff like XNA Game Studio and Community Games stuff was around when I was in school. We were pretty much forced to settle for modding existing games, which has its pros and cons. (Pros = you can use an existing engine, etc. Cons = you were forced to the limitations of what that engine and scripting language would provide)
The Dishwasher game is pretty cool. I played it at GameFest last year. I really want to try to the Jelly Car game though. I'll have to swing by the booth again tomorrow.
On the plus side, I got to play Super Smash Bros Brawl at the Nintendo booth.
So I was mostly underwhelmed by the XNA games, as I avoided Dishwasher the whole time based on the name Dishwasher.
But then I played Dishwasher. Hot damn, that shit is better than a lot of whats currently available on the Arcade. I looooove me some Right-Stick-Flick-Teleportation.
And I couldn't seem to use it, but the controls mentioned a chainsaw. Excellent.

Now, Fable 1 isn't a bad game per se, but it is middling and average in every way possible.
