I think all of this debate over religion is ridiculous for a gaming site. Especially since there is clearly only ONE true path to righteousness. Choose to worship the Cosmic Muffin people. "For yeah, it was baked in the oven of creation at the beginning and there is enough of the top for all to partake of its goodness." ~Banana Walnut 28, verse 5.

Also, couldn't they just claim to be from the island of Lesbos to get around this "ban"?

I guess they could add a saw to the front of the barrel so you could kill people easier at close range if that would make you happier. I'm just not convinced that putting such devices in places where your hands might occasionally wander during a battle is the best idea. Plus, if you're going to start putting shop tools on the fronts of all your weapons in an attempt to compensate for a lack of depth in other areas, where does it stop? Will you need to have a power sander on the shotgun and...

Not saying it would be easy. But judging by how many peripherals the nintendo wii has spawned, I don't think they'd frown too much on a peripheral that had to be upgraded as you grew. I realize it's totally impractical and many consumers would probably realize they were being taken...of course people are willing to shuck out money for themed plastic shells too so maybe not.

My only real point was that Wii Fit would probably have been more beneficial for getting in shape if it w...

I don't see how anyone could say this is a flop economically, but it may not be living up to its hype in the minds of the purchasers.

I think Wii Fit could have been a lot more successful if instead of a balance board, they'd developed some sort of shoe attachment or actually shoe device. Think of it. You'd put on your Wii "Shoos" whenever you went out. A little device would keep track of how far you walked and how fast. You come home, turn on Wii Fit, and it tells ...

God may or may not exist. I personally hope that he does. That said, I like to think that living your life as if he exists has got to be a good thing. What does it hurt? And for all of the people saying that accepting God is the only way into heaven...might want to save that argument for another forum. It comes off as casting judgment when you say it in this light.

I pretty much refuse to believe that the countless good people who live their lives by a different belief syste...

You're describing cross game invites. A nice feature, but one that was never even claimed to have been included in this update. Maybe Sony will implement something like this in the future, but for now people will have to be content with leaving the autoplay option on.
Recieve an in game message.
Eject that disk.
Insert new disk. Game starts automatically if you leave autoplay option on.
Join game.

So yes, this FW was a complete failure at meeting some...

I agree that had to be about the dumbest "problem" mentioned in his post:

"Launch directly into another game from the one you’re currently playing
At first I thought this might be from retail game to retail game. Without having to quit the game I’m in. Then eject then start another up. I was disappointed to discover that it was only going from PSN to retail and vice versa. Nice feature but for someone like me who rarely plays PSN games it was quite useless.&...

I love how everyone spins this stuff out of control. I have a PS3. I can't afford to get a 360. I guess you could call me a Sony fan, but I had an xbox last generation too--bought it for NG. Is there some place I can go to get a list of the guidelines for this war? If there isn't, then how can anyone moan about how one or the other console is winning? The real fact is that none of us will know who "wins" the current console war until a few years after the generation of machine...

"you cant even use capital letters??? a classic
is that the best you could manage?? who cares about capital letters on a site where most can't even spell??? but, i suppose, the sony defense force has to look after one another."

While I agree that many people may post without using a spell check and that you can ignore capital letters while still getting the basic meaning of your post across, it still doesn't change the fact that using capital letters and the corre...

I'd pick Einhander, Bushido Blade, and Blaster Master even though they're not on the list.

Regardless of price, I'm sure some people have other issues with owning two consoles. I could easily go buy an xbox for instance, and in fact I would really like to play games like Mass Effect. Unfortunately, I can't because my fiance doesn't understand why gaming is fun. Sometimes, you can't have it both ways.

No, but I do think it would be cool if they gave female characters some other buff--attack faster, dodge more, more intelligent--something like that. Of course, I think it would be best to have something like this optional to the player, but I'm not against a little variety in the gameplay. Makes things more interesting.

That said...how does something like this even get implemented into the game? Shouldn't this have been caught long ago?

Please see my above comment. I would have just replied down here first, but I didn't know you were going to repeat your rant from the post above so quickly.

"however MGO character creator is complete BS!! you can only make 1 character per ps3!! wtf kinda BS is that about. thats something to seriously get outraged by. if you wana make a new one you gotta pay 6 dollars!!! now that pisses me of seriously."

While I agree that getting bent out of shape over some DLC is likely pointless, the same thing surely applies to MGO character creation. Limiting/charging users for more than one profile could be seen as a way of curbing im...

...also about being big enough. In effect, if you've gotten to this level or these trophies than I guess you know enough about the game to know what you're talking about. I know I've seen people use their gamerscore to belittle or "win" an argument with other people who's opinion is probably just as valid. Here's hoping it doesn't happen as often on PSN.

"You only "pay" to "play" competitive. If you like to play against others then you need to pay. If you are casual gamer who doesnt play online or like to play the live arcade games/demos then you arent missing much by saving the $50 a year (less than the cost of a single new release)."

I think the problem is not so much that you can still do all of that stuff on Live for free, it's that this basic ability to compete with other people online is someho...

Wouldn't online multiplayer games be a great reason to have these features? I mean...yeah, you could message someone else while you were playing single player I suppose, but what wouldn't it be better to have all of that and the ability to play with the person you just messaged as well?

Emo does not "stand" for emotionally hardcore either. The word "stand" was first used in the slang to imply that one term was equivalent to another during a Fendley Bros Big Time Bandstand Concert in the 1920's when a young man yelled out, "This Bandstand's for the birds". He was mistakenly understood to have said, "This Band stands for the birds"--largely attributed to the fact that either a large number of pigeons were in attendance or perhaps a les...

Yup, they're too long. Games should be kept as short and shallow as possible so you can go out and spend more money on the next iteration of "Aliens attack! Let's Shoot'em". Hmmmm...maybe if we spend a ridiculous amount of money on commercials and product placements before the game comes out, people will get confused and think that we actually had a story in mind before we reworked the same script we've been using for years.
