Is it just an ego thing? Do they do it just to show off their guns? Maybe tear the sleeves off their robes, throw some Copenhagen in their lip, and then go around breaking islands while drinking a PBR?
And where does all that lava that is always flowing around in Hades go? Ever been to Hawaii and seen the lava there? It's constantly piling up and forming huge messy piles of lava rock when it cools. Is that part of the punishment of Hades, having to clean up dried lava rock? #mytheon

Edit: I'm running win7 ultimate 64 bit aswell but i don't think that makes any difference.

* The PC version is the best, runs the best, and has the best colors and graphics. Plus, you can scroll out to get a better view of the battlefield.
* The Xbox 360 version has washed out colors and the textures are less sharp and more compressed, but the framerate runs smoothly.
* The PS3 version has better colors and textures, but has framerate issues.
I preordered mine on the Xbox 360 and I guess I'll stick with it, since I got a good deal on it from Amazon back when I preordered. But just wanted to give people a means of comparison.

That's that out of the way.
Does anyone else have a problem with the impartiality of this review based on the heavy advertising all over the site right now? It just smacks of unprofessionalism to me. #dragonageorigins

I have to say that I too have a good deal of respect for this site. I have lost a fair bit for some others of late. #dragonageorigins

I'd much prefer to see a game where you have several characters with different storylines to choose from and you simply play through their story from beginning to end, with each one having different results, and not just perspectives (e.g. one person is purely good, another is evil, several others are somewhere in-between).
Reason being, not a fan of repeating hours of playing in order to see minimal differences. Just give me something completely different although vaguely similar. Hell, I wouldn't even mind if the game was only 2-4 hours total per character.
Others - thoughts? #dragonageorigins

However, a game like that could have a strong social aspect, as people will record their vids and display on the internet for all to see (granted, it's won't be so much a "look what I did" as a "look at this scenario" since you don't actually create anything...). #dragonageorigins

Think of a television show with an ensemble cast and multiple storylines featuring different characters. Now tweak that a bit by combining it with a choose your own adventure, though you only simply choose a character. Basically, this way, you play through different moral thoughts, rather than choose between two incredibly bland, contrived and extreme (good vs. evil) tree branches.
With multiple characters, players will hopefully identify with different characters, creating a slight polarization among the consumers. Not to mention, if the storytelling is really good, it'll be easy to replay a 2-3 hour game/experience (hopefully taken more as an emotional/moral experience than merely a game - yes, that means there will be little death, and the game's presentation will be more along the lines of something like Prince of Persia: Sands of Time). #dragonageorigins

Mostly western RPGs have moral choices. I prefer the JRPG with no moral choices, because it does water down the experience for me. I wouldn't like multiple character playthroughs either, because that just means X amount of hours was spent adding these extra rehashed playthroughs when you could make the core experience so much better/longer. #dragonageorigins
