Good, I can now buy it used without worrying about paying for online pass.
Got the game day one at Gamestop with the special artbook. It is in my top 3 Japanese RPGs this generation along with Lost Odyssey and Valkyria Chronicles. Glad I own all three consoles.
Halo 4 continues to sell, impressive.
Ordered mine from the Microsoft Store, can't beat 1600 free Live points with the preorder.
Isn't at about this time, a new COD game gets announce??? I sure hope it isn't Modern Warfare 4.
fact..
The SNES was more powerful than the Genesis. SNES has mode 7 and 256 shade of colors compared to only 64 shade of colors on the Genesis. Sure the Geneis has speed processing (love those Sonic the hedgehog commercials) but it is a inferior system to the SNES.
Shenmue could come out on my old broke Dreamcast console for all I care, just make it happen, please. I might even buy a copy of Aliens:CM to support Sega if somehow they can finish the Shenmue project.
Finally, able to get the HD Metal Gear 2 and 3 for a sweet $10 price.
No Blu Ray??? You telling me they are going to continue to use DVDs. This is as fake a rumor there is.
Agreed, I totally made a silly mistake there. Thanks for the info.
Just like the Japanese Pearl Harbor sneak attack, the Americans are wasting no time to retaliate. :S
@Strongman,
Why do you care if the Xbox 720 block used games or not. It is not like you are going to get one anyway regardless of which direction this is heading. Yet, you are the first one posting, LOL.
I think this game might be the one that UBSoft are working on the longest. I think Assasin's creed was a filled in gap for the end of the generation and I think the effort of making AC4 will be displayed on next gen consoles. I am somewhat excited but not totally.
I usually pick up games on the cheap so, Cheapassgamer is my source, and build my backlog that way. How can you resist $10 for a new copy of Dragon Dogma or $12 bucks for Uncharted 3? I still have backlogs from my PS2 era that I still haven't played. Will get to it eventually. As a matter a fact, I am on scenario 3 of the Japanese version of Shining Force 3...so you might say I have backlog from the Sega Saturn days. LOL
See, people that are claiming that only Microsoft is throwing money out there doesn't know how the industry works. You already see exclusive contents announcements for two high profile games for Sony in AC and Destiny. Microsoft will no doubt do the same on their next console as well judging from the partnership deal with EA. It is what it is.
What is even worst is exclusive contents for preordering new games. Each stores, ie Gamestop, Best Buy, or Amazon would have diffe...
You should see the stuff that was going on when N4G had the Open Zone; this is nothing compared to back in the days on N4G.
Did you even read the article?? Where in the article did it say about online, ram, or crater to only casuals? It talks about patents that were filed by Microsoft pertaining to the Immersive 3D Environment Display System, Wearable Electromyography-Based Controller, Interactive 3D Holodesk System, Potentiometer Sensing Strip. Your agenda to downplay the X720 is well known but can't you at least read what the article is about before preaching your negative gossips about the X720. Why are all...
You forgot the most important aspect of the downfall of the dreamcast, Third party support. Games like Madden, Fifa, GTA, Final Fantasy and Metal Gear that weren't on the Dreamcast really put Sega on a disadvantage situation even though the first party support was great at the time. This show you the importance of Third party support and I'm afraid the Wii U will fall under the same faith as that of the Dreamcast.
It would be a one sided fight just like the 300 Spartans going up against the Persian army of almost limitless size. But fight we must!
Because once people realized that it won't be compatible with the PS4, they need to stock up on an extra PS3 so they can continue to play their PS3 games even if their old ones die. I kid, I kid.
I think the real reason is finally the price of the hardware is at a good price and people have a large selection of games to choose from.
