A hero. Not the hero we deserved, but the hero we needed.

Now that we are approaching a more digital gaming environment, online passes serve a few purposes for game companies:

1. Making sure the people that are playing your game actually paid for it (piracy protection)

2. Ensuring the people who made the game are receiving some form of compensation for their work (developers get nothing from used game sales)

3. Providing incentives for those consumers who decide to buy games at full price (ie. not r...

Would you feel better if the Catwoman missions were free DLC that you still couldn't get because you don't have internet? Or would you still complain that the content should have been on the disk (like it actually is in this case)?

If the missions are locked on the disk then they are supplemental and must have no actual bearing on the main story.

No one ever complains about how if they don't pay for Live they can't play online which makes up much more than 10% of games now.

And, how this is a problem?

I'm playing ICO as I type this and I'm a little angry that it took me 10 years to play this incredible game.

A true classic.

Many people buy what their friends have. Since the 360 came out first, people were attached to that system and Live first and encouraged their friends to get it.

Reading is fundamental.

BLACK was awesome. I think one of the reasons why was there was no multiplayer.

Story is more important to me than multiplayer honestly. One of the reasons is there are so many games with a multiplayer component that no one could spend weeks mastering all of them. There aren't enough hours in the day.

Doesn't "set-piece after set-piece" describe every military first-person shooter ever made?

A genre that was not invented by Call of Duty, though Activision would like you to believe otherwise.

As soon as a game outsells Call of Duty, that will be the next genre that every game company tries to imitate next.

God help us all if Just Dance 3 is that game...

If you're hiding prone in the bushes, then you are playing it wrong.

Just like the "snipers" who quick-scope and the boosters who pad their stats in Call of Duty.

1.) That was almost a coherent response. Almost.

2.) Just because I don't love CoD doesn't mean I absolutely love Battlefield above all else. I'm actually looking forward to Arkham City more than Battlefield 3.

3.) Did you actually just say people don't want a better game? If CoD fans only want the same game they are used to then I'm sure Activision will be happy to oblige...

4.) I don't buy games according to how man...

Play a better game.
There are a lot of them.

Play Arkham City and Battlefield 3!!!!

Edit: You're absolutely right, Criminal. I thought it came out the same day as MW3.

So it's Arkham City, Battlefield 3, and last but not least, Uncharted 3!!!!!!!

Where did anyone say the console versions will look identical or better than the PC version?

Everyone already knows the PC version will be the best.

The thing about Hope and Change is that one only requires daydreaming and the other requires actually getting off your ass and doing something.

Guess which one Americans are more likely to do.

BTW I'm American so there is no unfounded prejudice or hate toward the US.

From the twitter of Daniel Matros (@zh1nt0), Global Battlefield Community Manager at DICE earlier today:

"A lot of what you are seeing in the BETA doesn't exist in the main game already. 1st Party submissions mean we couldn't give a version of the latest code in the BETA but the retail game is well ahead of what you are seeing now with a lot more bug fixes already in place."
