Most of us, especially in EU territories, didn't manage to get 4.45 before it was pulled.

You might manage like 4 trophies in your first playthrough, more at the very end if you've collected everything.

Not a great game for trophy hunters, but no way is immersion affected.

Was your system affected by 4.45?

I'm thinking that will be a PS4 feature. It's probably too deep in the OS for Sony to bother shaking things up for PS3 games.

Some people just don't enjoy trophies. I love them, myself, but I can see why they might be overly intrusive for someone who dislikes them.

There is a two-step verification system, sometimes more. You need to click "BUY," then you'll be asked to confirm your purchase, then you'll need to input a password.

Unfortunately, that's not enough to stop stupid children from buying things and stupid parents from blaming the phone.

This is a PR move, Apple didn't need to do anything, but too many major papers are running stories about kids getting into thousands of pounds of debt....

So your point is when your opinion is that something is right, the rage is justified, but when you think something that the majority disagree with, the rage isn't fair?

THIS is the problem with kicking off on the internet. Everybody thinks it's justified until it's aimed at them.

Although this isn't the same game he was originally working on, the fact that American McGee is working on an Oz game is almost surreal after all these years.

Like a Duke Nukem Forever actually getting released level of surreal.

There are 11 reviews so far for this game on N4G. It's a pretty major release, part of Nintendo's mid-year line-up, so it stands to reason that pretty much every site will try and cover it...

"After all, half of the policies Microsoft had were policies Sony poked fun at and reinforced they weren't going to use in the PS4."

While sandwiching in the announcement that you'll now have to pay for online. Whatever you might think of PS+ being mandatory, the circumstance of its announcement was incredible.

"Microsoft are doing crappy things, we're nothing like Microsoft, we're charging for online, SONY'S BETTER THAN MIC...

It doesn't matter how similar you personally find them. By law, all that it matters is that people think that she's in it.

And you only need to look at that Reddit AMA to see that there are people that up until yesterday thought that Ellen Page was in The Last of Us.

I don't think she'll sue Sony/Naughty Dog - she wouldn't want to complicate things with Beyond, I guess - but if she did it'd be open and shut.

I'm absolutely open to the idea that it might happen (if only because I can't see them getting Kiefer Sutherland to voice Snake across little spin-offs and cameos), but you shouldn't get your hopes up.

All the evidence so far points to the fact that he probably won't be in the game, and "BUT KOJIMA LIES ALL THE TIME" isn't evidence.

"then the game kinda made Snake look like a side character or reject, not the legend that he should've been"

That was the point. Alongside the obvious shadows of The Boss (and Big Boss himself), Snake had given his life to saving the world and had been tossed aside by a new era of warfare, by people who have outgrown him and by a government that had made him an enemy.

Unlike Big Boss (so long as things aren't retconned in The Phantom Pain), ...

"So we should just believe everything MS PR says?"

No, of course not. But when a company has announced a feature, described it repeatedly in both interviews and in official documents, removed the feature and then clarified that it was exactly what they were saying it was, you should probably believe them. You'd have to be sceptical to the point of paranoia to believe they'd go to all this effort for a feature that wasn't what...

"I probably bought close to 35 games since 2007."

Do you feel that that is the norm? How many were used? Why didn't you borrow them from friends or rent them?

"I can see it being a problem for online gamers, but for regular campaign style play which I personally prefer MS would have been shafted."

Ok, so your friend buys Skyrim. It's the biggest RPG of the year, everybody you know is playing it. Except the guy who ...

90% huh?

Publishers and developers make absolutely nothing off used sales and piracy. They make everything from a digital sale.

So two things:

1. If three people buy a full price digital game after playing it for a bit on a friends account (and getting sick of waiting for a chance to be the second player), that's $180. As opposed to the less than $90 they would have had after the store took their slice of the physical copy, and transport ...

The owner and any one of their friends 10 friends could play a game at a given time. Across the world.

You're right. If only everybody had the long-standing credibility that the guy who wrote that anonymous PasteBin post has, the world would be a much better, fairer place.

While people are still spreading nonsense as if it justifies their intense hate of a brand?

Sure it matters, if only to those who will now have to buy multiple copies for multiple consoles within their home.

EDIT: And that's Microsoft's fault for caving/not finding a way around it, but the spreading of rumours isn't helping

@BlindGuardian

I feel like I've explained this feature to you multiple times.

"pimp out 10 full copies around family and friends"

Not how it worked.

" if one one console can play the game at one moment in time, then it might be possible for you to wait until you finish the game and then share it

but what if you want to play again a game that you shared?"
