I cant get used to the Xbones controller after playing with the PS4 one for so long.

I was yelling at the screen whilst playing the halo 5 beta as to why my Spartan was jumping instead of picking up a fucking gun. Because X on the PS4 is at the bottom, on the Xbox its on the left so i was smashing A and jumping like a moron over and over again.

Oh this is going to get me killed quite a lot.

I was using an Xbox 360 controller for Shadow of Mordor....It told me to hit X, so I did....but the PS3 version. Suffice to say not being used to a Xbox controller got me killed more than once.

I have not heard anything like that song and the context it was in made it work as a song because if gave build up to the event.

Meh. I've heard a similar sound on the Mass Effect soundtracks themselves.

But I'm not gonna deny that it works well in-game. Games, even with more boring soundtracks, seem to do really well with making things tie in with the scenes. Movie soundtracks are just like "Hey, here's some orchestral music. So thrilling"

Another one for '97?

Eh, I'm having a harder time getting into that than my attempt at the Ace Combat 4 soundtrack.

Obviously you haven't played the game, then

Your soundtrack list should also have the Halo soundtrack.

[The Armed Republic of Dutch Coolness]

Like I said before, really missing the Halo soundtrack there.

Has anybody mentioned the Civ III or IV soundtracks to you yet? You can simply pull them straight out of the files, if you've got the games.

Origin got hacked.

Some German hacker is using millions of people accounts to purchase copies of Fifa 15. Like...dozens of copies per account.


I strongly advise anyone who has an Origin account to check their recent purchase, change your password, and remove any payment information previously associated with the account.

[Registug]

Good thing I only buy things over the internet with prepaid cards.

And I don't use origin! plus plus plus!

Never bought anything on Origin. Looks like I'm in the clear.

And, honestly, it's not like they weren't going to buy dozens of copies of the game anyways. It's not like EA ever does anything new with sports games.

[Bezombia]

I myself won't be affected as I've had a dud card registered since February but I digress. A lot of people have lost hundreds of dollars already.

[The Armed Republic of Dutch Coolness]

And that's why I don't link any of my bank things with online services.

EA's pretty much gonna have to refund them. At the end of the day, the people affected won't have lost a cent. They might even come out ahead, since I'm sure EA will try apologizing by giving them all a free copy of some obscure, overrated game from 1997.

[Registug]

Maybe they'll get refunded AND get to keep a copy of FIFA 14 or whatever game it is?

[Bezombia]

People who've contacted support said that they got full refunds and the support guy walked them through setting up 2-step verification (which apparently Origin didn't have until like last month). No word on free games though.

They're probably still figuring out exactly how much forgiveness they need to maximize profit.

[The Armed Republic of Dutch Coolness]

Does anyone here play Hearthstone on the EU servers?

Someone? Anyone? :c

...how, exactly, could they gain profit from giving everyone full refunds?

There are people who are going to be pissed and question them over the fact that this happened at all. That's not good for business.

[Corvus Metallum]

Nope. Never even touched the game before.

Also, does anyone else play Guns of Icarus Online?

Outrageous.

Which means they'll probably throw up another On the House game, causing them to lose even more money just to regain consumer trust.


Either way, they lose.

I don't know what to tell you other than that I am completely and utterly not sorry about not playing a game you happen to like.

The same can be said about on what we game, too

Lucky I don't keep my payment information stored. I haven't been hit thankfully.

Also Dragon Age: Inquisition is on sale at 33%. That's probably as low as it will go for a long while.

Could have played along with the joke maybe. Would have been better than getting it.
