Back in March I posted about rumors of a possible Elder Scrolls MMO to be announced in May. Well, it’s May now, and in fact the rumors were true: Bethesda is releasing it sometime in 2013. It will be developed by ZeniMax Online Studios.
The game will take place far before Skyrim—1000 years or so—during a time in which the world is ravaged by the prince Molag Bal. It will feature PvP combat and three player factions.
3rd May 2012
According to Andriasang, it has been announced that Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers is getting an enhanced port to the Nintendo 3DS.
Is anyone else excited?

I had the opportunity recently to see The Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses at the Orpheum Theatre in Phoenix, Arizona. It was certainly worth going to; the music was excellent as always, the symphony was flawless, and the accompanying video made it a visual treat as well. Read on for the full account…
It has been announced that the sequel to 2006’s Silent Hill, Silent Hill: Revelation 3D will be released on October 26, 2012.
This music video for the title theme to The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim was done solely, to my understanding, with the guy’s voice and the woman’s violin. Check out their stuff, because they have some great beats going on.
What do you guys think?
Excellent game. I disliked the first ending I got, but the two others weren’t bad. I’m aiming to get the joke ending on a second playthrough, and look up the last two endings online to see them. I’ll be writing a review within the next week or two, I’d guess.
I’m still having a great time with Silent Hill: Downpour. The atmosphere is great, and the side-quests can be even scarier than the main game at times. Unfortunately, Downpour has some graphical stutters, mainly when loading a big area; at times, it’ll lag as bad as two or three seconds. It’s playable, but I hope Vatra can put out a patch to help the issue, because it mars an otherwise great game.
Anyone else playing this? What are your thoughts on it so far? Be considerate to other people here, though, and please don’t spoil the plot.
Very positive impressions of Silent Hill: Downpour thus far, about an hour or two in. No handle on the plot at all, but the atmosphere is pretty good, and I’ve been creeped out even with my roommates watching me play and the lights all turned on.
It seems that someone dissatisfied with Mass Effect 3’s ending filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission and the Better Business Bureau about the ending, claiming false advertisement.
To be honest, I haven’t followed a lot of the PR about ME3, but as an outsider looking in, this seems like a case of someone thinking they’re so entitled to an ending they want that they file an official complaint.

I think that does take things to an extreme but most fans feel that the ending did not tie up the stories and subplots, so the decisions you made while playing Mass Effect 3 really did not matter until the actual “ending”, where you have three options. I mean the ending was somewhat of a “cop-out“ interpret this for yourself, sort of thing. While the themes of i) synthetics vs. organics ii) tolerance and unity iii) free will, are ignored, the ending is also confusing and full of plot-holes, thus making players theorize that it is not “actual”. Players are angry about the ending because they were promised that the choices they made in ME, ME2, and ME3 would impact the ending, but they did not.

From what I’ve heard, the developers wanted to go with the idea that not everything gets tied up and done fairly in war. I’ve read that Bioware is going to be making DLC to continue with a few more stories while leaving room for imagination.
Do you—or anyone else—think that claiming false advertising to the FTC is fair?
Claiming false advertising to the FTC is extreme, and isn’t fair in my opinion. The writers had artistic freedom to do what they want, but the idea that “not everything gets tied up and done fairly in war” is an easy way out if you ask me, since so many stories and subplots were tied up beautifully in ME3, I don’t see why the main plot could not have done the same.
Nonetheless, ME3 is an amazing game and I’m looking forward to whatever DLC.
Though if the theory (not giving too many details) in regards to the ending is true, and the actual ending will be released as free DLC, then it is one of the best twists in any video game - ever. But releasing an unfinished game still bothers me.
:)
I’m actually really intrigued about the ending, and I’ll have to at LEAST pick upME2 and 3 sometime to play them. I agree that a game being unfinished—then later finished through DLC—isn’t cool, but with any luck the DLC will flesh it out without being actually required to understand anything. Again, reblogging this to show one opinion.
