You can just bypass that with an app for jailbroken devices. It´s called xCon and you can buy it on cydia.

Also Square Enix is pulling the protection after the bad media.

Played some brave new world all day long. I think it enhances Civ 5 quiet a bit. The late game still drags on (it always did in any civ) but especialy if you dont want to go into all out war there are a ton more milestones to set. - I fucked up quiet a bid early, research sucked because i had no cash... now i tired to catch up via espionage and pissed of the always agressive (played with random personaltys) russians who are now bitchslapping me all over the map. - I desperately am trying to catch up on technology with my three spies (one just died...) but i think the only way is to drag this out to a point were they hopefully agree to peace.

My classic civ style of plaing with as little army as possible is invalid today.

So im playing Prototype 2 and im going for all the achievements i can get, any advice on this?

I always check the trophy list the .moment I load up. That way I have a clear goal.

I think there is a big difference due to restrictions. With PS3/xBox you have a limit to how many points can be given. If you look at Civ 5 for example you get a game that comes with over 280 achievements. AI War comes with just as many. FM comes with 100+... sure there are also games that try to be like console titles with only 8-20 achievements and it´s not that they are not nice to have.

I think from a marketing standpoint the cards stuff will be much more powerful.

Am I the only one who doesn't really give a shit about achievements?

[KONGO]

Seconded.

[King Ellis]

Stop it. We're not having this conversation again!

[KONGO]

How does it feel to be Lineker?

Its nice to hit a goal. I don't hunt them out unless I enjoy the game so much getting 100% is a pleasure, like uncharted or spec ops was.

If its got multiplayer ones I won't even bother.

[KONGO]

Ugh. Played Sword & Sworcery for the first time, really liked it, got to the Golden Trigon and basically the game froze. Trigon will not attack. Have no idea what to do.

Know what I hate about games? I've been conditioned to drive on the right. When I played Sleeping Dogs, I constantly drove on the right without realising what I was doing, even though you drive on the left in Hong Kong. I fear for me ever actually driving a real car.

That messed me up a number of times, yes.

[Cactus Drags]

In games I drive wherever I damn well please.

[Benji]

Until you hit a small, thin tree. Then you stop faster than you could ever accelerate.

[Cactus Drags]

I'm a bugger for hitting monorail supports and the like.

[EWB's Best Poster.]

Hitting the monorail?

Is there a chance the track could bend?

[Benji]

Not on your life, my Rider friend.

Soooo... Rob Van Dam and Neil Patrick Harris have voice acting parts in Saints Row IV.
