Why does starting off with a full suit remove 'vulnerability', if you're still wondering around a corridor full of crap thrown at you from all angles?

If that were true than the (Old) Alien Vs Predator games were also poor considering you were a Marine with full armour and could carry 9 guns. Yet we all know that game is an example of successful horror.

I really liked how the creative director here talks about the advantages of making a game where everyone has the same hardware, making easier to calibrate the experience, as opposed to blabbing on about fluff like a pre-scripted bot.

No scene and you'll barely notice at all, but he does wear it when he's not in the armour.

'Tightareses' indeed, what's the difference between a price tag of $400 or $499, or whatever, it's like people revolve their lives around $100 in their bank account or something.

The VP of SCEA refers to that in a video interview.

What's the conclusion? You should get health insurance for diving head first into one.

Check the facts:
- Yes Nintendo does dominate the top 10, but where's the surprise, these titles always sell high, but what about the rest of the world?

- I'd say the WiiU entry at number 18 is pretty poor, considering it's Mario Bros, I mean a PSV title to be only ~100k behind as a PS2 port is quite impressive.

- PS Vita is not sold...

THQ had it coming, not only were they not selling enough games, their corporate culture was way too slack. Last year when I was doing a financial audit of a THQ branch, the ship sinking warning signs were already there but yet their employees thought having a 2hr lunch break to play FIFA on PS3 on a 100+ inch projector was still a good idea.

Such an important campaign that 99.9% of the people here have only first heard about it because of this N4G article post.

McDonalds must be in real 'desparate' too, because they're giving away free Cheeseburgers over here.

There is only one game I need: Metroid...no, not that abomination in Nintendo Land.

I remember this newspaper site releasing the exact same article well over a year ago, and now they have rehashed it without any new info.

'Free' media without knowing when something is pushing an agenda is even scarier than propaganda.

Lol

Here's my translation:

The reasoning for the release delay for 3DS's MH4, is not for 'the purpose of upping the quality', but to prep for a simultaneous release for the PS Vita. As of now, Nintendo (N company), Capcom (C company) and Sony (S company) have not commented.

Maybe...but it certainly fits into Microsoft's strategy to for online streaming entertainment. Still, online streaming is still very far behind physical media, the standard is 10mb/s with up to 5.1 audio where as Blu-rays stream at 48mb/s with choice of 7.1 audio.

There's no better way to enjoy your films.

Mini-PCs running on standard hardware configurations such as mini-ITX and mini-ATX, you won't get your PC smaller than a shoebox. The Intel revision means you get a fanless case not much bigger than your external 3.5" HDD case. Think Ultrabook compared to a Notebook.

If it ain't the same thing as Intel's re-imagining of 'mini-PCs' than it just further proves my point that this is 'dead in the water': it's not smaller than Intel's new P...

Right off the bat it can't be Liquid Snake, only Solid Snake resembles Big Boss.

The answer is pretty obvious, no f'ing around with is that this and what if that, it's pretty simple:

The 'Phantom pain' is a chapter in MGS5 as in actually leading to a boss battle ie the specter you see floating around. The boss specialises in psychological tricks and the level is a product of it. Quite frankly I'm shaking my head at why this hasn't been suggested when a big deal of Metal Gear involves some sort of boss like that.

Going to be dead in the water as soon as it's released. Intel have already started selling their mini PCs from $300 for the base model with an i3 that runs Windows or Linux. As soon as the OEM's jump on board it's going to be a race to the bottom in-terms of pricing. If a "steam-box" even has a remote chance of success they have to either make the price extremely attractive with good specs or provide attractive exclusive content.

The game makes many allusions to the previous game. Since the game world is the same. From a fan perspective, yes it's worth playing the previous game. Otherwise the story is self-contained.

"Maybe I don't understand the economics of it."

Most don't, but this is why:

Try to understand the concept of utility and value-adding activity. Delivery and packaging add no value to a product because they aren't the product itself, therefore because they aren't worth anything, removing them should't change the the price. A physical game vs a digital game should have exactly the same utility because they both play exactly the sa...

"I am a game collector who enjoys playing older games from time to time, and unlike all of the sony fans, i prefer to only buy the game ONCE!!!!!!!!! "

If you're a 'game collector' why don't you have the previous consoles anymore?

Why didn't you buy the BC PS3 when you had the chance, or buy one right now on Ebay?

Why do only 'Sony fans' buy HD collections when they are also available on Xbox and PC?

Yet the best selling 3DS game are two games derived from the Wii home console...better go rush out and buy a 3DS then because hypocrisy's all rad these days.
