Dang, got excited there for a second. Then I realized that I've already played through all the FO3 add-ons, I just bought the Oblivion GOTY edition yesterday, and Dawnguard last week.
OMG what about air? Are we saving enough air for the kids of the future? I mean, all I do is breathe air all day long, and so do all my friends. What will happen when it all runs out? Won't somebody please THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!!
Hmm let's see - I have two current gen consoles and a PC, but no mobile devices. I wonder if I'll ditch the three working games options I have now to buy some kind of mobile device to game with - yeah, not likely.
I hate to break it to you, but the 'Database last updated on 3-Jun-2012 12:38:40 EDT.' line doesn't actually prove anything - I work at a domain name registrar, and this is only a sign that the servers that the domain name is housed on have been automatically updated. No one at Remedy would have had to do anything at all for this to occur, and it would have occurred in the past, and will again in the future. Sadly, this really only proves that the company Remedy uses for its domai...
Aw, the game that the hackers who busted into everyone's Xbox accounts for some free DLC doesn't work online? I feel absolutely horrible. I suppose there's no chance that some FIFA tool hacked the servers or anything?
Roger Ebert is old & stupid. I defy him (or anyone else) to explain why video games aren't just as much art as things like the following real pieces of "art":
- a urinal ( http://nicolegoestoschool.f...
- a crucifix in a glass of piss ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wik... ...
Unless all of this co-op, cover-based shooting jive turns out to be just a small part of the overall game, I'm going to have to pass on this. It's a shame, Dead Space was aiming to be a pretty great franchise but now it looks like they're going to run it into the ground. Shame.
Are Games Being Scapegoated Again? Yes.
I've been gaming since PacMan, Defender, Centipede, and Donkey Kong ate all my allowance quarter by quarter in the local arcade. I've seen it all. If you're the kind of gamer who turns their nose up at console graphics, sorry son, but you're a pussy. And unless you've played something like E.T. or Deadly Towers, you have no idea what a truly bad game is. Try and get some perspective before you show how ignorant you are.
Pretty close to 95% I would say - with the other 5% made up of the kind of people who either a). the typical gamers who bitch and moan about everything anyways, b). religious whackjobs, or c). the folks who think that Fox News is actually about news.
Unfortunately for me, I don't have anyone to play with in co-op. I've tried to get my 8 year old to play some co-op with me, but he isn't very good at anything fast paced like Gears of War, Mortal Kombat, etc. My wife would likely fare a little better, but the only thing she plays are the LEGO games and even those frustrate the hell out of her. I think my 5 year old would love to try, and would likely be better than my wife & 8 year old, but sadly I doubt his mom would approve...
Oh my.
I think you may have missed the release of Sony's wonderous new patent whereby they insert product placement right into your games. Should be right up your alley, let me know how that goes.
Yeah, wow, that's a great explanation. My point was that I don't really give a flying fark about commercials on the dashboard so this whole debate is as pointless to me as bitching about things you have no control over. Hey wait...
Ho hum, people arguing about this again? I'm aware that there are ads in the Dashboard, but like most other sane people I don't bother with them, and they don't get in my way. Know what else you pay for that comes with ads? Cable TV, movies at the theater, any magazine or newspaper subscription - that's life.
Let's use Peter Molyneux to change the cat's litter...
Sadly, the main problem with this game is the overall length - the total running time of the animation is about 20 minutes, meaning if you know what to do, you'll be done it in the time it takes to watch a rerun of The Simpsons.
Yeah, even though I'll cop to using guides for things like Skyrim, I'm certainly not playing the game with the thing on my lap. I tend to read the guide in my gaming downtime for tips on awesome locations & unique weapons - I normally don't need help getting through the quests.
Yup, I absolutely agree - Saint's Row is what the GTA series should have turned into, instead of the horrible 'reality-simulator' GTA IV turned into.
You know, if the timed-exclusivity thing really bothers you that much, you PS3 folks should really tell Sony to join the party. All it takes is a boatload of cash apparently, and then you can all have some timed-exclusives for yourselves. I'm sure Bethesda (or whatever developer you care to mention) would be more than happy to play along.
