are you freaking kidding me? why pay??
how about because:
a) if you don't pay and download it free you are STEALING
and
b) piracy hurts everyone. if only a$$hole like you illegally download the game, devs would would go bankrupt and great games like this would not be made
if you don't pay for it, then you shouldn't play it.
if you got the ban hammer on your xbox... good. i'd say it was deserved.

Somali Pirate...
i have a EU PS3 and generally do live in the PAL side of the ocean.
regardless, am pretty sure this will be global. its too good of a package not to and eclipses the ultimate edition previously announced.
as a GOW fan and supporter, i bought the GOW Collection just a few weeks ago... and they announce this now?
what a slap in the face. i would have bought the 'best' edition possible for GOW3 given the chance... but now, doing that is basically flushing 40 bucks down the toilet.
Sony, why do you make it SO hard to love you again?
ME1 was well reviewed and sold very well and ME2 looks to improve upon original in every way.
GOW3 is not really that big of competition as
A) its release date is in March, where ME2 comes out in Jan
B) their genres are totally different. while there is some crossover, each game appeals to two generally different types of gamers.
they've got my money anyway, which i'll happily handing over on launch day. can't wait to take my character from ME1 through...
Doesn't DE have some super strict laws around violence in video games... so maybe Killzone 2 wasn't even released there?
background info: goddamn GameStops from my area won't take anymore preorders for the CE as they oversold it for the whole damn city.
so unless i get my greedy hands on one (preferably shrink wrapped and at midnight launch), lets get the facts straight: while Mass Effect 2 is going to be EPIC, the CE version will be sh1t and totally not worth it.
who needs extras anyway? crappy coverart FTW
now everyone go and cancel your CE preorder.
pleas...
im on the fence about these still... waiting to see final what product pricing and specs are (if they aren't doomed to vaporware anyway)
if pricing was right, ie very very low comparatively, and quality was high then it could be interesting.
much as i love all the Sega/Sony/Nintendo/MS consoles i've ever bought... the current business model is going to change in the future. its either going to be these 'browser' based services or (i hope) a uniform standard console,...
that trailer has me more excited than anything shown at the VGAs tonight.
agreed re: Chloe (Uncharted) & Morrigan (Dragon Age)
although they are quite similar.
a complete list, however, would have to include:
Ellis - Left 4 Dead 2
Claptrap - Borderlands
maybe this should be called the "fattest" cosplay ever
poor kids. bless their little hearts for having the balls to go out in public.
speaking of which: that Robin pic is more than i wanted to see. socks belong on your feet kids, not to stuff down your trousers.
i think when they say "biggest" here its meant in terms of being newsworthy and as of yet unannounced... not necessary what may or may not be the biggest in terms of sales.
with that in mind, my guesses would be:
1. next Zelda game on Wii
2. Gears of War 3
3. unannounced David Jaffe PS3 game --> Twisted Metal?? (i hope anyway)
4. unannounced MistWalker game
5. unannounced 2K Boston game --> X-COM??
the post is about NPD which is about North America... hence the discussion in the comments centered around sales for that area.
DUH!
go look for a worldwide sales article and post your comment where it might actually make some sense.
amazing numbers for MW2... holy crap thats a lot of units to sell in just three weeks. kudos to Infinity Ward (and their evil publisher too, i guess).
anyone else just kind of saddened to see a game like Dragon Age barely outsell Mario Kart?!? or that Wii Fit still ranks up there? seriously, can't soccer moms buy something else already.
hmmm, not sure what MAYTR1X was saying, as one sentence in it all became word vomit so i just skipped over it. i'd recommend others do the same.
RE: the actual post/topic
Shadow Complex was amazing. reminded me how much fun it was playing Metroid & Castlevania games as a kid. if you don't have it, its $10 well spent.
i never got a chance to play The Maw, so was happy to see that on the list for only 5 bucks.
not to whine... but on a forum like these, they are just a recipe for flame bait.
i hope PC vs console ones become a trend, because the above statement not only applies but is augmented by a hearty dose of pointlessness.
a capable PC will ALWAYS win as settings can be cranked up beyond what a console can do.
i'm a staunch console gamer at heart, but recognise this as fact. it has been this way for ages, and will likely never change.
a) title should say "prediction"
b) how is this getting approvals... its not news, just what some random guy voted and blogged about it
everyone refrain from being negative or turn this thread into back & forth 360 vs PS3 digs.
we should just be excited this is coming to to 360/PS3... i sures hell am.
i've have been wanting to play it since i saw first pics of it ages ago, but have never really owned Wii. (bought it at launch, played through Zelda, then promptly sold it on eBay)
Grasshopper MF seem to be quite talented, so i'm sure the gameplay will be tweaked up along with the vi...
but it (PS3 FaceBook) IS dumb... and so is XB360 version.
i use my gaming consoles to play games, which they were made for and are great at doing. when i sit down in front of my tv after a long day of work, i pick up the control to enjoy a game. no more, no less.
these features are a throwaways in opinion. nice to have for a tiny % of the community, but useless for the rest.
not that i'm complaining (they are free afterall)
"could care less&...
hmm... this site sure makes it sound as if they are hard hitting journalists uncovering a corporate coverup with their expose piece:
"NPD Misleading the Industry"
"[GamerThirst] questioned... [NPD] conceded"
"shed some light. on little secret of the industry"
i do believe there is full disclosure they do not cover DLC via XBL/PSN/Steam or Walmart etc both on their actual reports and via their website.
they do w...
yeah, that vid brought a huge smile to my face.
haven't bought a Kart game in over 10 yrs... but this vid just reminded me how fun they could be.
have always had a soft spot for Sega. hope the game is a hit for them.
