I'm pretty sure Nintendo buying Sega, or vice-versa would cause irreparable damage to space-time.

With or without Nariko?

I always thought the best way to make HS a franchise would be by having the sword found and used by a new protagonist each time, likely at a different point in the world's history. Every game ending with the protagonist dying in sacrifice to the sword against whatever evil they must face.

Unfortunately franchises tend to revolve around the character. I'd love to see this one revolve around the titular sword.

That came out the following spring and it was awesome.

Yeah... and they get penalties, red cards and suspensions. Sometimes they get fines.

It doesn't just slide in REAL sports.. let alone get encouraged and played up.

This is shameful behaviour and, while a perfect representation of COD players, a terrible representation of gamers in general.

People.. I understand the implications here.. but we cannot speculate without getting the details first.

Sony's console is always on and always connected and that's a good thing for service and convenience.

We're just assuming that MS' version means it's mandatory to use the console. It may very well be.. but let's wait a few more weeks before losing our shit about it.

I personally cannot imagine a scenario where the ...

Check the source.

But don't check the link. Paginated page-view baiting.

Pass.

Not at all. Especially since I don't feel in any way committed to buying a PS4 simply for owning a PS3.

Should I choose to purchase a PS4 at some point (and I assume I will), I will do so knowing that my PS3 (my PS2 compatible one, anyway) shall remain in my possession to serve its purpose going forward.

More and more my PS1 and PS2 consumption is happening on PC.. (even if that makes me a thief by some people's strange perceptions..nevermind) All my ...

The comment regarding experience was referring to the theoretical "someone new". Not in regard to Riccitiello or Probst.

But I do think someone new should be on deck. Having the same two guys swap back and forth at the helm isn't going to right the ship.

So by your assertion, running bootcamp on Mac is illegal. Using Wine on Linux is illegal. Using DOSBox on any platform is illegal. Playing an MP3 on your iPod is illegal. Playing a PSOne game on PC is illegal. In fact.. Backward Compatibility is also illegal.

In some places, you're absolutely right. But you can't assert a legal argument on the internet because you don't know who you're talking to, where they're from and what laws they are subject to.

I think Probst and Riccitiello are stuck in some kind of revolving CEO door over there in Redwood.

How about.. just listen to me here.. how about.. you try someone new? Huh?

Maybe someone who hasn't taken their turn at the EA Nosedive controls? Maybe someone who has some vision, or at least experience operating a successful business of this size? No.. let's stick to vision and stay away from the Bobby Koticks here.

You do know that you can rip PSP games, right? And that there's an entire store of digital PSP games, which are identical to their physical copies, called the PlayStation Store?

This doesn't promote piracy at all.

It promotes fair use of one's legally owned software with whatever device they wish.

You don't need to use an iOS or Android device to play pirated PSP software. It's much easier to do on a PSP.

I'm sure that's just one group in a long list of people you don't get.

All these things tend to fall apart once you instruct an art department to model 600 NPC faces. That's when the plasticine comes out.

That's not confusion. That's lack of information.

Valid questions that deserve candid answers.

I'll take your word on that.

In regard to older games, I tend to default to GoG, as it tends to be their core competency. They tend to be really good at packaging their products to run easily on modern machines.

Duke is the only game I've come across where I had such issues. If a separate front-end exists, as mynameisEvil tells me, to make running the game easier, it's possible if not likely that the game is just a mess.

No I didn't and I assume the average person doesn't either.

If there's something that makes using the game easier, then it should come packaged with the game.

That's exactly the service that Steam provides: Ease of use.

It's typically something I find GoG tends to take into consideration too. However with Duke, they clearly failed.

I recently ended up with a copy of Duke 3D.. and I can't even remember how. I think it was a holiday give away from GoG.com

The experience is less than ideal.. it comes packed with and runs through DOSBox which makes running it a bit of a PITA. You have to run the settings application separately through DOSBox as well. Then boot the game back up through DOSBox to test the settings... I don't think I ever got to the game before tiring of it.

I think S...

I often rag on Origin as a service (and rightly so, I think). But I've got to admit there are some decent deals in the mix here. It's unfortunate that's it's poorly timed, otherwise I'd probably jump on a few of them.
