That issue might be caused by malware. Tell your girlfriend to scan her system with an anti-malware utility, like Spybot S&D. It would be interesting to know the IP setting that the DNS changes to ($50 says it's somewhere in eastern Europe).

I've bought a few games at GamersGate. I like the fact that it's browser-based and doesn't install any separate client applications. Other than that, it seems to be pretty much the same deal as Steam.

Is there a version of this game that doesn't include boring console shit?

Hey, asshat, driving around a city is a fun activity. Loading boxes onto a truck is not. Fortunately, that particular task only takes about thirty seconds to complete in Mafia, so it's hardly a noteworthy flaw in the game. It's certainly much less of a nuisance than that shitty GTA:SA mission...

What I'm saying is that the voice acting was up to the standards of the genre. It is also part of the game's cinematic presentation. It is not the strongest point of the game's cinematic presentation (that would be cutscenes and facial animation), but it serves its purpose successfully. Like...

Of course voice acting in Mafia doesn't compare to bloody adventure games. It would be pretty goddamn unusual if it did, considering that good cinematic presentation is a much more indispensable element in adventure games that it is in shooters. However, Mafia is probably the first shooter to...

I wonder if such good sales will persist after consumers get wind of all the bugs and badly-implemented mechanics that will no doubt plague the game. :twisted:

What the hell? A thread on NMA where someone is badmouthing Mafia? Wat? By the standards of early 2000's era shooters Mafia had solid voice acting, and you know it. As I recall, my exact words were that Mafia didn't have any significant flaws that I could think of. That statement was as...

Meh, seems like explosions in TF2 are achieved using a fairly standard combination of point sprite-based particle effects and alpha-blended billboard textures. Nothing to see here, move along. :smug:

One funny detail here: Heh. Heheh. Heheheheh.

Those $20 would have been even better spent on a web design handbook. I mean, dark blue letters on a midnight blue background? FFS.

I'll never forget the apprehension of clicking the Rest button, getting the dreaded "There are enemies nearby" message and not knowing if the enemy in question was some pissant rogue or a Vampire Ancient who can kill me in seconds.

I'm probably alone in this, but I think both NWN 2 and KotOR 2 actually managed to be worse than the originals - and that's coming from someone who loathed NWN 1.

Those green slimers in Duke Nukem 3D always scared the shit out of me. Just hearing that soggy noise they make as they crawl through ducts and dark corridors was enough to make me flail about and frantically fire my chaingun like an AvP marine on LSD.

Well, there's this obscure post-apocalyptic RPG that got a shitty sequel not too long ago, I think it's called Flyout or something.

Dungeon Siege is a game? On that note, this is actually a great opportunity for Obsidian to break new ground. They are going to release the world's first buggy screensaver. 10 years between BG2 and Dragon Age isn't exactly what I would qualify as "regularly", dude.

Oh. I was expecting something along the lines of

Selling a 2-year-old Bull Terrier, healthy, will eat anything, loves children. *** Attractive blonde (23), 5'8"/109p, 34-24-34, good cook, great in bed - selling a lawnmower. *** Luxury condo in city center, seaside villa, Mercedes CLS AMG. Not selling anything, just bragging. ***...

So their übar-sekret project is Dungeon Siege? Really? LOL my God, what a joke of a company Obsidian has become. Well, has always been.

You have a maid? Pics or it didn't happen.
