EVE's subscription base was higher then both the examples you gave prior to them going F2P so if EVE certainly is one of the larger MMO's and has been running far longer.
And i know EVE is an exception to the norm but so what ? It works as a business model and I think would have worked better for DCUO on the PS3. £40 for a disk with a one month subscription or free downloadable client and £40 for a 4 month subscription - giving people more investment in th...
EVE online is free to download and then just charges for the subscription, and thats one of the larger MMO's.
Dunno why MS dosnt just publish the game on PS3 and make themselves some money. Its not like they are saving face since Mass Effect has gone multiplatform anyway.
oh jeez man, fuck off already with your trolling nonsense.
probably same game mechanics but the story wont be anything to do with The Nexus or Boletaria.
Thats not true. One of my friends is a purchasing manager for Asda and has confirmed that they do not sell games at a loss.
The amount of profit they make might be tiny or they might just sell it at cost price and make you buy X amount of groceries but it they are never sold at a loss.
And like i said GAME is a dedciated gaming retail store with over a decade of experience and supplier contacts. If they cant compete at what they specialise in then what is...
I think that humerous anecdote pretty much sums up why i think the staff at game are a bunch of annoying, plebby, bell-ends.
That thing with groceries has happened once with black ops and it was £30.
Anyway its people use groceries so its hardly wasted money, its not like you had to spend £30 on lap dancers or crack cocaine.
Just because you are happy to pay £35 - £40 (its actually more like £35 - £50 depending on the title) dosnt mean they are not overpriced.
Supermarkets like Asda are offering far better prices on games and so are winning business away from Game. Black Ops was £26 in Asda on launch day, EA Sports Active 2 is £40 in Asda compared to £65 on the high streets, Vanquish was £25 at launch in Asda.
Asda also discount games w...
Do graphics matter - YES
Do they take precedent over gameplay - NO
Do good graphics enhance gameplay - YES
me and my clan use used our pseyes all the time as a webcam to discuss tactics for upcoming matches over video chat. Its nice to be able to do that without spending £130.
RAAAAAR !
No problemo - im playing games, raising my family, being a senior manager in a global pharmaceutical company, and furthering my education.
In case your interested in what i dont do its - make stuff up, exaggerate, or run interviews with myself on my own website.
Thanks for asking
.
I know but again only people like us will know that.
My brother has a PS3 although he dosnt follow whats happening like I do. That said he knows who IGN are and he knows what EDGE magazine is and thats as far as he will ever look and i would say that people like him account for the majority of console owners.
If IGN say Killzone 3 is the best game ever then he will buy it but they dont, they say COD is the best game ever so he buys that - year after year,...
In 10 days time they wont be able to.
lets be real - review scores matter, maybe not to me or you who take time to delve beneath the surface of each new release but to the majority of people who arent clued up on such things.
Mr Smith shopping in the supermarket is more likely to pick up MW2 covered with "IGN says 10/10 !!!" than KZ3 which dosnt.
Sales while not important to me will reflect in wether a sequel gets made or is m...
Final Fantasy 13 pretty much killed my faith that Square are still capable of making good games.
A flagship title with a massive following, years in development, huge budget - What could go wrong? Well as it happens everything - FF13 sucked so badly it raped my teenage nostalgia of FF7 and FF8.
Your sarcasm sucks almost as badly as your understanding of hardware limitations.
Yes, we all know its a prototype but that dosnt have any relationship to your comment about being able to update firmware to enable touchscreens to read fingerprints - which is nonsense.
If you cant take being corrected on things without having a sulk then do some research before posting shit comments.
just a big rant about the campaign, tbh i only really care about the multiplayer and im sure im not alone in that.
Surely that would depend on the amount of time someone is "waiting somewhere" ?
For me waiting for a train then angry birds is fine for 5 minutes, but for me waiting on a 4 hour flight or waiting for my mrs to finish watching 2 hours of shit on TV then im gonna want something with a lot more depth than a $1 game.
