I loved Funcoland. I used to always go there and to Electronics Boutique (back when it was still called that :P)
What about Mr. Arcades? Did anyone of you guys have those when you were kids. I used to go to Mr Arcades and Funcoland and spend all day in them when I was a kid. Thats when it was actually fun to trade in games, instead of being the total assrape it is today.
Unfortunately the media will take this story and run with it, trying to somehow blame Nintendo for the incident and put all the blame on video games yadayada. When really this is just bad parenting at its finest. She could have thought it was ANY kind of toy gun, but the fact that "Wii" is associated the politicians and media will jump all over this like a pack of wolves and cause hysteria over video games.
Such a terrible story, poor girl....stupid parents...stupid g...
A single man isn't responsible for every action of a company. That prick Bobby assembled a team of little devils to carry out his will. The entire executive team at Activision needs to fail alongside Bobby, because he's not the only scumbag at Activision.
Its not that Macs are unhackable, or that there are more "fish in the sea" with Windows. OSX has an active install base of over 100 million users. Thats plenty enough users to interest hackers, 100+ million additional users is 100+ million more opportunities to spread your malware.
Its just the nature of UNIX itself. Its much more difficult for hackers to penetrate to the deepest layers of control on a UNIX system. Macs aren't bulletproof, certain aspects of OSX are...
If only more developers could be like Valve, the industry would be a lot more healthy instead of having scum like Activision running the show. All developers should have the level of control and freedom that Valve has. Thats what makes Valve so great. They make fantastic games, and they do it the way they want to, and have a long reputation for being loyal to their fanbase.
I mean theres a reason their games have remained relevant for a decade. Counter strike is just as aliv...
By far the worst main installment FF game. Its no longer FF, its just another average JRPG.
I will always argue that Square had to structure and design the game the way they did in order to be a multiplat game, with one platform having 1/5th capacity per disc. I don't care what Square or any 360 fanboy says, Square would never admit to that anyways.
Indeed. I own every single version of this game. This new LE version will be a nice addition to my collection.
They're like long lost brothers. Or maybe they're both robots. God knows they aren't human.
Wow so Activision fired them so they wouldn't have to pay the royalties?
My god, how greedy can a company get? I mean, seriously, I'm sure its just chump change to their overall profits that they've made from Infinity Ward, not to mention all that money Blizzard brings in. Are they really that greedy that they would destroy the relationship with the developer thats given them the most successful franchise in the world and the largest launch in history? All over some chump chan...
Just proves Activision (and the slimeballs running it) completely lack foresight.
Ugh I don't really want to think about Activision anymore. I really wish the industry was different and that developers could fund and publish games themselves. But it can't be helped. The industry will get ruined and corrupted just like music and movies, as if it hasn't already.
the graphics and sense of scope in that boss battle were unbelievable. simply mind blowing.
Blizzard makes like almost half of Activisions money.
I really wish the gaming industry wasn't run by filthy slimy scoundrels. Like seriously, I really really really despise corporations like Activision. Absolutely despise them, especially in the gaming industry.
It looks like there is slightly better anti-aliasing on PS3. Overall better color and contrast as well.
This is entirely just baseless speculation without even any kind of rumor to back it up.
Knowing the way Apple and Steve Jobs operates, its really unlikely Apple will release a true gaming system in the way of PS3 or 360. The way Apple sees things, is they already have the iPhone OS platform to fuel games development, so they wouldn't see a reason to step into the industry 100 percent with a dedicated console.
However, its a lot more likely that we'll see Apple put ...
I remember trying to explain this to a 360 fanboy, and why Arc would offer much more potential for actual gaming purposes with 1:1 response.
I've been saying this since day 1, and I keep saying it. Not because I favor any console, look at my profile, but because Sonys offering really has more practical applications for real gaming.
People complained that Wii was a novelty? Natal will be twice as bad. The only kind of games they'll be able to make for it will be m...
Wait, MW2 got a 10 in graphics and BC2 got a 9? Wtf?? Thats just wrong. MW2's engine is so weak compared to BC2, its just been tweaked and optimized to run silky smooth with certain tricks thrown in to make it look better than it is. BC2s graphics are effing gorgeous, from the impressive backdrops, huge scope, incredible lighting, shadows, textures mapping, destruction physics, explosions and all the other effects, the list goes on....BC2s graphics are just miles ahead.
I mea...
Microsoft cares about one thing, market share. Microsoft cares more about market dominance than they do actual profits. They would rather make low profits and gain market share dominance than high profits with lower market share (like Apple). Ballmer always says this. Which is dangerous behavior from a huge company like Microsoft. I'm not saying they don't care about profits at all, but since they have so much money from their PC businesses, they are willing to spend a lot of that money i...
If Monolith and Takahashi aren't making the game, then it might as well not even be Xenogears. And since Nintendo owns Monolith, that isn't going to happen. Unless Square gives up the rights to Xenogears, which also isn't going to happen.
Ugh I can't believe Takahashi got screwed over twice trying to finish his Xenogears Perfect Works storyline.
Someone care to explain how MW2 got a higher score in graphics? I mean come on.....really? Thats just plain retarded.
