Nice. It's not often I get such well thought out responses to my comments. You bring up some good points.
It's also important to note that the addictive personality might be what's causing the gaming addiction. If they weren't playing Saints Row or WoW, they'd be likely smoking something they shouldn't be. For all we know they might still pause the game to indulge in some other addiction.
Addiction, of any kind, and depression are both ugly. More impo...
Mgs4 was released during the 1.6x period, I think. Not 100% sure. I do know it was well before 2.40, when trophies were added.
Let's go ahead and teach the media the difference between correlation and causality.
Correlation: heavy gaming and depression tend to go together.
Causality: heavy gaming causes depression.
The problem with the correlation is, no clear cause/effect relationship can be established. Are they depressed because they play video games, or do they play video games because they're depressed?
It's basic science.
"Time to buy a new game (bronze)" rack up a dozen playthroughs.
"Found a new career ( bronze)" get modelling shots of all the beauties.
"Did you see that?!? (Bronze)" shoot down a helicopter with the M82.
"Nasty habit of surviving (silver)" finish the game without getting killed.
"No! He's mine! (Bronze)" try shooting Vamp while Raiden is fighting him.
"Should have paid the bill. (Bronze)&...
Shouldn't be too hard. Trophy support has been mandatory since 2009.
English and British are interchangeable.
Here have some more.
Portal
Saints row
Infamous
Just Cause
Prototype
Metal Gear Solid
Mass Effect
Armored Core
Guitar Hero or Rock Band would make a fair to middling reality show, think along the lines of American Idol, but it's your skill with a guitar being tested, not your singing..... hey this is actually a cool idea!
Watched it on Netflix. Tim Roth was brilliant.
He kind of fixed it. Now it says "Assasin's Creed."
I think the guy who wrote this is running the website. I would have been too ashamed to hand that article to an editor. TBH I would have been too ashamed to hand that article to my high school english teacher.
It's possible. I got a discount for preordering InFamous: Festival of Blood.
The second rule is we DO NOT talk about BLOGS.
I am Jack's Fight Club reference.
I didn't see LA Noire in the list, which is odd, considering it's in the picture. I kind of agree though. I would go one step further and say LA Noire would make a good TV series. Each week, a new case, not entirely dissimilar to Monk.
I like the idea of a Red Dead miniseries.
As for the rest of the list: there are a couple of Dead Space movies, both direct to DVD. I'm not familiar enough with Castlevania to comment on it. I do think Bioshock and Elder Sc...
Michael Fassbender was in.... che cazzo?
(Few minutes later)
Oh yeah! "Then we will fight in the shade."
So we know he can handle the action.
He's got the acting skills.
He should be fine.
@KanadianKid. For the record, Altair ibn LaAhad was born and raised in Syria... that's in the middle east. This makes Altair middle eastern. Ezio was whiter than Altair.
Of course, if he can p...
Could someone please tell me when PROFESSIONAL journalists lost their ability to spell? This isn't the N4G comments section I'm talking about. It's the muddy farking body of the article.
Video games are really just like any other medium. They can be art, but that doesn't mean they are. Most of them are entertainment.
That's not necessarily a bad thing. There is some great entertainment in books, movies, music, and video games. Art and entertainment are just two different things.
Books: 1984, The Great Gatsby, LOTR = art. Necroscope, Harry Potter, Twilight = entertainment.
Movies: American Beauty, The Godfather, Pulp Fiction = art. Anything d...
Nullo e reale. Tutto e lecito. Requiescat in pace.
By heist are you referring to the bank job with the McCreary's? I actually preferred the final mission, going after Rascalov or J.Peg, depending on which way you went earlier.
I would also add standing at the highest peak in Panau (Just Cause 2). That's when it really dawned on me just how big the 414 square miles really is. And with the draw distance, the view was just awesome.
Why Heihachi? I would have preferred Yoshimitsu.
But that's just me.
That's a good idea, but wouldn't you end up with more maps than players? 75% of the UGC maps would be deserted.
But, then again, those maps suck anyway.
I do like the idea of UGC. I would very much like to see it more widely implemented. I just don't know how it would work with MP maps.

Now now. US and UK are BFFs now.
You gave us Tolkien, Dr. Who, the Beatles, CS Lewis, Patrick Stewart, and William Shakespeare.
We gave you the telephone, the airplane, and whiny emo vampire kids.
Not a fair trade. We still owe you for Tolkien.
Just Cause 2 says hi.
