"Under the knife: Remember Nintendo"
I can't express how interesting that title is for a number of reasons. Nintendo is making some very shocking choices recently and are essentially asking to be forgotten.
First they make the shocking choice that they want people to start paying them from their youtube videos essentially meaning less youtube videos promoting Nintendo products and providing free advertisement.
Second they don...
Basically what consoles already have is a Steam like environment. Steam turns on with my computer. Xbl and PSN turn on with their consoles. You can talk to your friends, same as XBL/PSN. What really sets Steam apart from XBL/PSN is that Steam has a sale every single day and an additional sale Wednesday and Friday, and some of the sales are very very good. They do have a trading program, but at the moment it's limited to only Valve games so you can't trade anything else.
Get prepared for a shit storm. I wrote a similar review listing out what I felt were problems with the game. I gave it a 8.5 and get flamed for it not being a 9.5+.
You kicked a hornets nest and they are going to be angry.

I was really trying to save my last bubble for a comment but I feel you deserve it. First off thank you. While I always welcome outside opinions what you said is absolutely true. I knew going into this review that I was attacking a sacred cow by kicking a hornet's nest at it. No matter what I say, whether factual and justified or not, it's going to be taken as a troll attempting to discredit a something perfect. Not to attack the people who've commented ab...
You didn't read much of the review, or the comments did you. I'm not going to reiterate the manual transmission comment, it's already in a reply to Valenka so you can read it if you want.
As for the story let me put this exert from my review. "It's a common plot we've seen several times and regrettably it's the one you'll experience the majority of the game with." I'm aware that the plot changes slightly and explains things. But in t...
There is cross game chat now.
"Because every single game, physical or digital, would be tied to an account, publishers could create a hub to sell and resell the games digitally. Let's refer to these as "licenses" from here, even though it's a loaded term."
If that was actually the case why didn't Microsoft come out and explain that?
"Here is how this makes sense for YOU: New games could then be cheaper. Why? Publishers KNOW that they will not make mone...
Good review. To me it did have a sort of generic shooter vibe going for it, which is sad. I was really sad that the skylines didn't play a larger part in the story as they were quite a lot of fun to play around on.
As for the ending there may be something that you didn't notice. I know a lot of people didn't notice it at first either, but Booker and the main character from Bioshock 1 are actually the same person. BS1 took place in a parallel world with a parallel ...
I didn't criticize the story as a whole based on that one scene. I criticized it for being generic. I can name several movies and books that follow the same plot line of a plague almost wipes out humanity and there is one person who is magically immune to it and trying to find a cure: I am Legend, Containment, Soft Apocalypse, just to name a few. As for evidence here's the reasoning. It's been 20 years since the plague started (This was shown in the start of the game) meaning that...

Pretty much yea. She grew up in a harsh world of fighting and death. It's not hard to kill someone. It takes no real skill or practice. But driving a manual car does. You have to know what you're doing and practice it to do it.
It's a generic story. Any yes she did. They told her "Now keep your foot on the clutch..." And she replied "I know how to pop a clutch." She couldn't pop the clutch coming out of the driveway because the truck didn't have enough speed to turn the alternator. And I was refering to ***Spoilers*** Where they were running away from the infected and climbed in to the back of the truck. Ellie took off without stalling the truck?!?! Having never driven a stick shift b...
Lack luster but no viruses
Sorta but different type of greed. The last time the industry collapsed on itself was because of the over inflation of games. Everyone was making games as quickly as possible and it led to tons of bad games. People were afraid to buy anything other than the already established gems.
Different type of greed. And it was solved by nintendo coming out with a certification policy.
Ok. So let me respond to this.
1st. He was saying that 2 accounts can't be online at the same time. He didn't say playing the same game. So let's say my friend is using my account to play BF3, I can't log into the same account and play COD. Why? Because it's the same account trying to do 2 different things at 2 different places.
2. Installing a game to your HDD does not mean you can play it without the disc. What happens is you put the d...
What are you talking about? Have you seen the EU PS+ deals compared to NA
I agree with @Hydralysk
Mostly. What 2033 really did was it introduced elements that aren't common in a FPS and made them work. Things like shadows and stealth, turning out the lights. This was one of my favorite parts of 2033. The stealth parts. These traditionally aren't involved in FPS games, but metro made it work well.
Just out of curiosity, did they give the PC version a 6/10 or the Xbox version, because there were some serious performance problems with the Xbox version that wasn't in the PC version.
It's a really great single player but sadly the multiplayer just inst enough to hold someone over after the beat the game.
I think at the same time most gamers are being overly critical of Skyrim's bug. So there's a flying mammoth or a dragon that flies backwards. What's the big deal. Is it a bug, yup it sure is. Is it a mess. Not at all. That flying mammoth doesn't ruin the game at all, it doesn't detract from the gameplay. Granted there were certain bugs that were major deals, PS3 being unable to go underwater without the game freezing. That was a big deal same with the lag. Sure there were ...
When you're comparing graphics you need to understand the difference between prerendered CGI and actual in game graphics. A prerendered CGI (Dark Sorcerer) uses already rendered graphics and will always look better because it is less taxing on the processor (the game isn't trying to load lots of things going on it's only trying to load the cut scene). In game graphics are trying to render at that same moment, while trying to render everything else, and trying to load everything el...
