You have to put down the AK-47 for a while before your brain will heal itself and allow you to see other things in life that can be thought provoking and beautiful.
I totally forgot about sherlock Holmes! Gonna check it out!
Says the guy with a cos play DD avatar. /facepalm
The problem is the casual market is not hardcore. Us lifers (39 years old started out on Pong, yes Pong) have such an attachment to the games we grew up on that any change in the formula sends us raging.
We are officially the old guys standing in the yard in nothing but old man underwear screaming at the "youngins" to turn that crap music down. It is the same with anything, really. I stop on some of the cartoons they play on Saturday and am appalled. I think back t...
It really depends on how many times you have to change the disc. If its just once no biggie but if you have to swap every time you go to certain areas then in open world games it can be numerous . That is when one install at beg is better
Strongly agree. Take Demons Souls; not one commercial but it was so good word of mouth spread and Dark Souls did really well. These are the games I enjoying plopping down 60 bucks for.
More whiners in here than in Green Bay today. Remember SB XL
Sennheiser 280 HD pros are what I have. I hear sounds in games that I never even knew existed. Try them on Dead Space. Holy crap.
I finally (39 years old) understand why my parents complained that everything I got into, from music to TV to books, was a poor, crappy version of the greatness they experienced growing up.
I used to roll my eyes when they knocked my Metallica, or the He-man cartoons I was watching citing they were horrible remakes of what were classics; The Rolling Stones, Mickey Mouse, etc...
We clinch to what we grew up on and look at what the kids of today like and shutt...
Unlike LIVE., you can easily remove your credit card info
Also, you can set your system to not auto renew. Out of all the console differences, this to me is the biggest. Xbox made me physically call their call center to have it removed. What a pain
I disagree. I cannot see little Jimmy's mother letting him pop out his hard drive all the time and take it to a store to download a new game. If she did it, she would break it in about 10 minutes. Also, what about all the pervs with porn? You gonna let a Geek Squad employee look at all the hardcore on your drive? Nope.
You seriously haven't played Gears 3 yet?
I'm 39 and they call me Mr. Old Fart in midnight lines. I'm like the Gandalf of the mall.
Are you serious? I will take a tablet/controller over flailing around like an idiot any day. The wiiU controller looks sweet. The potential is huge. Using it for a remote for my TV with maybe my pip playing on the controller? Or kinect which makes me shake my man boobs to turn to espn
I slept outside BestBuy the day the 360 came out and at about 430AM the redbull truck pulled up and handed out free redbull to the people in line. That might not mean much but there were there....
It's Bayonetta...Jesus people calm down.
OMG Nintendo has B2! Boycott! I'm a high school herp derper! I'm so cool! I only play on "x" system and all my frineds say this is BS! Get over it. It's a game. Grow up, get a job and support your habit. Douche bags.

Not for me. YouTube is exactly what I use. I can tell from 10 minutes of game play if I like the look and game play of a game. Story, for me, is back burner stuff. I cannot think of one game where I didn't skip through the cut scenes. I want great controls, good ambiance and first and foremost fun and addictive game play.
Agreed.
I am 39 years old and Mario memories is like remembering me riding my BMX bike, drinking out of a hose and having dirt clod fights in the abandoned lot down the street when I was a kid. Best memories ever.
I'd like to point out that when the next 2 players release their consoles in a year or so, Nintendo can and will most likely do a price drop.
I love my PS3 over everything but I also liked the Wii. Just not enough Splinter Cellish games on it. 360 was good for MP but I stopped MP a couple years ago and am now into total SP like Dark Souls, LBP, Assassin's Creed, Fallout, etc.
That said, I am getting more and more intrigued buy the WiiU each day. That ...
Its a video game. I don't care who lives and who dies. I'm of the sort that spends hours trying to kill everyone, anyway. In Oblivion I literally tried to kill every single person in Imperial City.
