Well you gotta know the people behind the game, the names behind the fame. In fact their only real existence to some is the credits that roll, and that's not enough. Voice actors and artists and the big chiefs all get their spotlight, but these little interviews and making-of documentaries are chances for the little guys to get in something to say to everyone :)
Look, success IS success. EVERYBODY likes the taste of money, okay?! When you have a product this popular your fans are going to want more.
It's up to the developers how they're going to earn your money, but if you WANT ODST they'll make it. And if it's an easy cash in for them well whatever. Business IS business. Success IS success.
All I care about is the game...if it sux I won't be interested.
...talk about milking, Kojima could spit on a disc and write the letters MGS with it and fanboys would still buy it.
But no, we have to "believe" he does it for the goodness of mankind...
Don't worry guys, it was nigh time for Raztarded to get his chance at being a dumbphuck.
it's no laughing matter.
i once sat next to a lady in the waiting room of a mechanic's shop while waiting for my honda to be revived. and she was cool and all and we talked a little bit. but then this news came on the tv about some rapist getting away and she totally got bent and even turned red and just couldn't stop talking. she said that she was a rape victim too, so i totally comforted her and tried my best to be gentlemanly.
...it scars for ril folks :(
Decency, laws of obscenity, morals, etc. I get what you mean, but still we have to back down when it comes to cultural differences and how different civilizations have defined gender roles.
I agree that the obscene is of no gain to the gaming industry. But companies will do it anyway, so you're only recourse is and always will be choice. You can chose. I don't drink even though I'm 24, that's MY choice.
Grid had the best damage ever. Parts would be waiting for you after a collision on the next lap, parts would get stuck under your bumper. Parts would fly, cars barrel rolled, cars drove through the crashes, under the flying cars, etc.
Just so you know 1080p GT isn't 1920 pixels wide, so it's not full 1080p HD. Fewer pixels on those lines equals less than true HD, so...
Grid had rewind too, but if you turned it off you got more rep at the end of the race.
Those who can't wait for Forza MS 3 should play Grid, it's actually the closest game right now to being perfect. It doesn't have a whole lot of customization options (just paint and decals) but it's 1280x720 with 4x MSAA on Xbox 360...how smooth and beautiful it looks and handles :D Great action, great physics, damage, beautiful light bloom effects, smooth as butter.
Eh, it's just a cultural difference. I steer clear of being prejudice in any case against someone's culture. We all have a right to be freaks...
edit at dude below:
right, it's none of anyone's business what's happening in our laps while we drive :P
Rape "play" is awesome, lot's of women think it's hot (it's fun too). Rape FOR REAL is for d!cks...consent is the basis here, no man should EVER feel the need to stoop that low.
And a game about real rape or even rape play surely doesn't interest me.
Hey Traveler, nobody has to worry that Squeenix won't make FF XIII up to PS3 fan's expectations. Even when they went multiplatform with it it's still PlayStation that's getting it first. They made a financial decision (oddly enough) due to how expensive to make these games have become. Especially when we're talking big companies like Squeenix who have groves of starving artists itching to make something to pay off their cars.
This is why they've already made so many rpgs this gen...
"...they have plenty of time for polishing."
Yep, that they do...as long as it's just until next year though, and nobody better jinx this game! It's been a good long wait and I'm ready to play a real FF.
Hm...why did those extreme fanboys come up with such a bad conclusion? The game is going to look great and in fact it already DOES! You just have to realize what's CGI and what's not. Just like in Uncharted, Naughtydog said that the game's cinemas are prere...
I added Samus Aran too, but you didn't complain about her...
Fine, Shepard's number one. He's mucho commando!
edit:
I get 5 disagrees above because of the placement :) It's a list, everybody has to take a number b!tches...
Hey at least I'm not like the fanboy below who says 1-4 should be all characters from one game...
...it's funny but I'm ALWAYS quoting Niko Bellic's lines from GTA IV. He's so much better than the guy you play as in GTA III who just took orders and barely nodded his head and stuff.
But it's the chief who's put a face to gaming this gen :)

But paying for XBL I'd still expect Microsoft to be earning their dollar, as they've been doing so far. This is why many Xbox Live subscribers are comfortable paying for Gold Member status. And it's not mandatory so Silver Members can still enjoy plenty of stuff for free.
I understand that having to pay sux, but when it fuels innovation like Xbox Live that doesn't fail to deliver...it's worth it.
A guy there says that they could've waited until ODST came out. 3 Halo games would've been the bees knees! But I guess that you'd have to expect that Bungie wants you to buy these games :O
Anyway, it's a sweet deal.
Halo Wars is a very good part of the series, it has a lot of great story and although it's not particularly long it's still pretty fun!
If I wait my Xbox 360 will continue to amaze me ;)
Yep, people killed and died...war has changed.
