A significant number of people claimed that "17.7" million number for the 360 and it was repeatedly pointed out that "shipped" and "sold" are not the same thing. Depending on which side of the console "fence" you are on concerning the 360 and PS3 it is amusing to note that both sides have been perfectly content to call "shipped" consoles the same as "sold" consoles and both sides have been quick to point out that the OTHER side is co...
Attempting to disable the security and firmware updates for a console has only one purpose: Theft. If I figured out how to by pass the encryption used for credit cards the only people who would be happy about it would be people who wanted to steal credit card information and by the same token the only people hailing console hackers are people who want to steal games. Why is it exactly that making a victim out of a bunch of random credit card holders is met with anger while making a victim out...
No 360 here and I don't think Mass Effect should come to the PC, I fear what kinds of mods people will come up with. I really do.
Another step towards pirated games? Lovely. Here's hoping that newer games will install firmware updates without asking thus requiring that each and every one of them be cracked individually in order to remove the feature.
And save the "B-but what about people want to..."
This is for pirating games, period, end of story. It's for people who are stealing and should be put in jail or fined for it.
((I assumed that, after adolescence, young men put away childish things and played amateur football, got amusingly drunk, instigated punch-ups, watched Big Brother or ineffectually pursued women.))
Lady, let me tell you what's childish and stupid: Playing football, getting drunk, getting in fights, or watching stupid reality shows. These things are not fun to many people and even if video games did not exist we still would not participate in them. People who do not conform to you...
Clearly games are made for the smallest segment of the gaming population and game companies should have no interest in making their games as widely available to as many people as possible. What you call "lowest common denominator" is more affectionately called "most likely to produce a big return on investment".
Sorry, but most game companies are not going to go for that tiny % of the gaming population that lives on the bleeding edge of technology and has an...
You know for all this whining and screaming about "Fox News Misrepresenting" something, people should probably stop Misrepresenting the story. One person on one show that does not work for Fox News says something stupid and all of a sudden it's as if there's some active daily campaign of death and destruction perpetuated by Fox against Mass Effect.
It was ONE person on ONE show who DOESN'T work for Fox News and Fox has said EA is more than welcome to come and clear up...
There is no hope for HD DVD at this point, let it go and move on rather than drag it out in some ridiculous losing battle.
Let's see, 50% of the people will play stealth classes to be cheap and there will be one fantastically overpowered class that consistently remains overpowered while people who play said class complain that they were gimp "once upon a time that hasn't been reality for years", oh and there will have to be a class that tries to hog every weapon in the game, and a class that wants to be able to do everything and give up nothing.
Rogue, Warlock, Hunter, and Druid... Wonder w...
I'm not sure how excited I should be by Street Fighter 2.5 3d (which is what this actually is). I keep hoping that Capcom will do something fresh and interesting with the series and I doubt this will be it.
No matter how much you hate Fox news or how many times you delude yourself in to thinking it was Fox who said something stupid about Mass Effect the fact will remain that one person and one person alone, who does not work for Fox News, said something stupid and EA was given the chance to address it but as of yet hasn't. Please quit misleading yourselves in to thinking this is some "Fox News" thing, when it absolutely is not.
Atlus games are known for their inexplicable nature, mostly through the various Shin Megami games but this one seems a departure even from that...
I like surprises as much as the next person but announcing there will be a big announcement and playing it up all mysterious is silly.
It's going to be a painful year for the market share of the 360 but if Microsoft can get their RROD problem resolved they should be able to give Sony a run for their money.
As far back as I can remember there being a 3dMark I can also remember people wanting to see them make games.
Well in 1965 men did THIS... but now...
In case he hasn't noticed, it's not 1965 and rather than assume that people should cling to old and outdated "ideas" he seems set on he might want to instead get used to the new way of things. "Child-Men"... You can almost hear him sneering or smirking as he types the word.
What? We play games and that makes us "kids" now? Perhaps he'd like to have a sit down with us and we can explain to him how s...
Nothing is ever your fault. It's games, or music, or society, or the way your parents treated you, or anything really... Just as long as it's not YOUR fault right? /sarcasm
The article makes mention of the fact that many of the great games on the SNES were actually sequels that started on the NES, which is partly Nintendo's fault because to this day they still insist that remaking their old games is better than creating new ones. I can't really call the SNES the 'best' because those were the days when Nintendo was basically an evil dictator to game developers and for that matter so was Sega. Nintendo is only just NOW recovering from how they acted during the SNE...
Microsoft has been making defective software for years but their hardware was always considered top notch. I don't own a 360 and the PS3 wasn't out yet so when I went hunting for a controller for a PC back around the time the 360 was new I was perfectly happy to find a 360 controller that would work on my PC. My keyboard and mouse are also Microsoft products that have worked great and there was never a real issue with the XB. The stunningly high failure rate of the 360 on the other hand has c...
Bungie's got the tallent to make a great game, now they just need the time. Here's hoping it's something new and innovative because the 360 and PS3 desperately need some of that blood right now.
