I strongly suspect that they were focusing heavily on delivering a top-notch experience on PC

On the other hand, this may be good news for PC gamers. If From Software was so focused on making a great, visually stunning experience on PC, then it’s quite possible that the PC version will look and play the way the game looked and played in preview builds.

lol @ anyone who believes this.

I wonder if they will go back in the sequel if there is one to make the game for consoles and then porting it to PC like most companies, probably will depend on sales or something I guess.

More people own console than a gaming PC. So you know the math on that one.

WHY I QUIT PLAYING BALDUR’S GATE 2: A CONFESSION

I felt one thing within the ten hours that I played of Baldur's Gate 2: Enhanced Edition: frustration. Bitter, difficult, and unrelenting frustration. I'm a huge fan of getting nostalgic, especially when it comes to videogames. Sixty hours of turn-based combat in Fire Emblem? No problem. But to really enjoy a game, you need more than passive, inanimate respect for structure and mechanics. It requires a certain nameless excitement. Sometimes, we call it “fun.” But as I sat playing Baldur's Gate 2 on a borrowed PC from my university's library, I couldn’t grasp any sort of joy, ecstasy, or insight. Everything felt … outdated. Unprovocative.

In the grand scheme of things, I realize, this does not matter. “English major chooses CliffsNotes over Billy Budd” is not really a headline. But something interesting seems to be at play … let’s take the combat, for example. A total onslaught of magic and swords emerged in front of me, but where was I in this mess? I was a little arrow, hovering above my pixellated team and clicking, clicking, clicking. Minsc, the party's tank, screamed, "Make way villainy, a hero is coming through!" as we encountered another idiot horde. I shared little of his excitement.

Only thirteen years ago, Baldur’s Gate 2 was considered one of videogames’ greatest achievements. Yet even through a thick, half-feigned veil of historical respect, I couldn’t enjoy Baldur's Gate 2. Its awards and accolades only add to my confusion. Why isn’t this equation balancing? Or really, at what point is this my fault?

Source? Keep in mind that if you are relying on XB360/PS3 numbers to inflate your "gaming console" numbers that even integrated intel graphics is now stronger than them, which would make half of the PCs on the planet "gaming PCs".

Games about sex, dance, shapes and relationships shown at Experimental Gameplay Workshop
Brings you gems like this:

Bennett Foddy put a spin on Chess with Speed Chess, a game which he made in response to his dislike for the rules of Chess.

"I don't like planning ahead, I don't like waiting," he said. "I like video games, so why not make Chess a game that is more like a video game? A Chess game where you can move at will."

Foddy said he took out everything he disliked about Chess. Speed Chess has no check, no checkmate, no waiting. It's a game of chaos. 16 players inhabit any piece on the board and play the game like they would a real-time strategy game. Foddy invited the audience to play Speed Chess, and every match was over in less than five seconds. "If you like Chess, you will probably hate this game," he said.

or this:

"We wanted to explore ... sex in games, because not a lot of people do it, and when they do it's wrong," she said. "What is the game mechanic of sex? It's this embarrassing avatar-based uncanny valley stuff. What we're interested in is what it feels like to have sex and how sex is perceived in your head and your body and your mind."

The work-in-progress has players travelling through a tunnel, where many of the actions performed in the game carry sexual innuendo. "As you touch the walls [of the tunnel], there will be a blush of colors," she said. "We have suggestive things where you go backward then forward, then moments of high intensity sexual innuendo."

And many more.

Disturbing discovery of the day: The Penny Arcade comic has its own Wikia page. You'd think it would be used to explain the more obtuse comic strips, but it seems to have been abandoned in 2010.

There are wikis for pretty much everything nowadays.

Gamefaqs thread about Thief 2014 not having third-person: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/960105-thief/68747628

Antsh
Hard to stealth in first person.

Catsimboy
It's not that big a deal since the game takes the fact that it's first person only into consideration by giving you audio cues when you're being seen.

Antsh
Reacting to audio is an action not gameplay, therefore it is not stealth.

Your argument is, thus, invalid.

We had a page in TV Tropes as well, but some admin there got teh buttmads and deleted it.

It's a known troll, I was just reading a Skyrim thread where he was mentioned.

To be fair, it's really hard to tell the retards from the trolls on gamefaqs.

Edit: also, I remember the TVTropes page. I looked through it once a few years ago.

Those fucking hypocrites.

I've tried to add some stuff now and then, but it's usually deleted for being "natter" (explaining why someone is wrong) or "unnecessary" (unlike obscure trivia about a supporting character in some C-list anime, we can't have too much of those). I should have learned my lesson by now.
