Like seriously, a lot of people don't have the PC's required to run The Witcher 2.
Shogun 2 is quite the deal at 15 dollars for people who don't have it.
Being the only thing worth playing on the original Xbox helped a whole lot too.
2 years ago my account was compromised and 500 dollars charged to the account. I was compensated.
As it stands the article just lays out the different theories. The most likely one being a brute force break in of peoples passwords, MS should have had their log in system fixed up years ago and they should use the same system as Steam and PSN for purchases. I agree with all of that.
My problem is the people who are hellbent on the idea that this issue is th...
SOCOM is cut from Counter Strikes cloth. ;)
No one really wants to play a game like SOCOM anymore, the single death per round thing just isn't quite as popular as it once was. Look at classic mode in SOCOM 4 and S7D in CoD compared to the respawn game modes. Hopefully the name Counter Strike coupled with the gameplay keeps a large community on the consoles.
Btw, if you liked classic SOCOM there wasn't anything awful about Confrontation. Compared t...
Mmm everyone was pretty good about not just out and out saying one set of exclusives sucks. You kinda had to open that can of worms and throw out your personal preferences all over the place.
For every BAD 360 exclusive, I have played a PS3 exlusive I felt was right there with it. SOCOM 4 and Killzone 3 weren't the series' high points.
They gave us a new Hydro Thunder, I demand a new Blood wake. When all you really had to play on the original Xbox was Halo 1 and PGR, Blood wake was the shit.
I was just commenting on how juvenile his critique of the visuals were in the first place, especially when it seemed to be such a big part of his "review".
You could probably write a deeper review with Yaris or Dash of Destruction.
Cgoodno, your comment is kinda 2004. Much like the quality of STO's visuals.
The moderators should be aware how gullible some people can be, this is just going to mislead the people who WANT to be mislead by this.
You know who I mean. It's phishing guys, get over it. Never use the same password twice and strengthen things like secret questions. Your mothers birthplace or maiden name is a SHITTY secret question.
But at the same time you are missing the point too, how funny. Yeah, XBL accounts are being exploited with the intent to charge money to the credit cards. How people are getting their accounts hijacked is very different from PSN, it's people using their email and password on a site that is logging email addy's and passwords, bogus MS websites or websites promising free points or games are often the culprit.
When PSN was hacked someone used a computer and literally hac...
lol, you got phished. It's okay, it happens to lots of people. It's not a matter of MS admitting people are getting their accounts compromised, it's about you admitting you let your account get stolen.
Problem is the security issue is on the users end, no one is hacking into the network and force ably removing the account info. This is why it's not widespread, and this is why MS hasn't taken XBL down.
Phishing, Social Engineering and Keyloggers are different from breaking into a database of log in information and credit card information, copying them and then breaking whatever encryption they were locked in.
What happened to Sony is different from Xbox Live, phishing scams happen in lots of different games and services.
My account got stolen and 500 dollars was charged to my credit card. It wasn't MS's fault, it was my own and every penny was refunded.
Oh right Microsoft is the money monster I forgot. /s
I think this guy doesn't realize the legal ramifications of MS knowing that peoples accounts and CC info is getting stolen and not doing anything. YOU CAN'T DO THAT, MS pays these real expensive guys called Lawyers to tell them they can't do that unless they want to pay out the ass.
Day of Defeat, Insurgency, Firearms, Project Reality, Desert Combat, Sven Coop(hL1), Red Orchestra, Forgotten Hope, Hostile Intent and Natural Selection. All amazing MP Mod Projects and none of them cost me anything, beyond purchasing the game that was being modded.
Do you enjoy missing the point all the time? I enjoyed GTAIV on the PC, with mods I made an experience I enjoy even better by having licensed vehicles and visuals that far outstrip the stock PC visuals.
I didn't need them, but they certainly weren't detrimental. I used to be able to get loads of free maps for FPS games and with a bit of sifting we always had a list of 20-30 awesome maps on the server. Without mod tools this isn't possible, it's also entirely...
Whats best about Killzone 1 is the Level of Detail shifts on character models. Seeing how much detail got stripped as they run away or run towards you was always funny.
I'm well aware of what you can do with a PC and the relative cost based on what you want to do. Some people don't want to go through the hassle, so console releases for some people are the option they are most comfortable with.
