Yay! Everyone said this game is great. I've always wanted to try it.
Still loving my Mac. (Up to 3.5 hour battery vs up to 8.5 hour battery? Really? That'd kill me on airplanes.) But either way, you're a moron if you buy your 8 GB of RAM from the manufacturer...
"You can drive a car at 16, but you can't look at naked women?"
No, you can look at naked women. You just can't BE naked in front of anything. THINK OF THE CHILDREN! (Hopefully, someday, someone will think of the ones who are charged with distributing child porn of themselves and termed sex offenders because they are stupid kids with MySpace accounts.)
Yeah, I've seen it. As expected, it's totally awesome, super powerful, and I think my purchase will finally make the Apple-haters who all have iPhones stop getting on my nerves.
In those cases, I don't mind so much, personally. When it's half price or something, I can think, well, they're buying it more cheaply, our prices are too high. But a lot of the used games I see are almost exactly the same price as buying new, and it irks me that someone would rather support the game store than the game developer...
Yes, because you're saving so much money when you buy a 60$ game for 55$ used...
Hm. Yeah, but only if the big boys are the ones using CLI only. Windows is just as training wheel oriented (except that the training wheels on Windows are a bit more square than circle, but that's imho).
I like my Mac. It's powerful enough to use without thinking about it, and when I do want to think about it, I've got my bash term. (Suck it, tcsh! Also, vi >> emacs.) (Also... "woman's computer?" wtf, dude?)
Huh. It's like this guy thinks the game isn't doing exactly what they've always said it'd do. I don't understand these things that are so down on it-- so it's not your kind of game, what's the big deal? It was never advertised as your kind of game.
Cripes. You want a hundred hours, get a JRPG. You want 40, get a WRPG. You want 20, get a shooter. You want a cool interactive story, that's where this one fits in. (Well, hopefully.)
... whoops. That wasn't supposed to b...
Hahaha. Not what I expected from a site called xboxist. :)
"... nobody here is sitting at their couch watching full length movies on a web browser."
Um. I don't watch on my PS3, but I watch lots of movies on Hulu on my couch. The only reason I don't watch on my PS3 is that the networking is too slow for my taste (I get better quality via my laptop.) I don't know how many people use the PS3 web browser, but people are watching Hulu web-browser movies.
If we judged movies only by box office numbers, we'd have to place Titanic as the best film ever made by anyone, and we'd tell people to make Titanic 23 instead of newer, more original films. (I mean, it's not a bad movie or anything, I guess, but it's not the best film ever, and I for one would rather have variety than a million Titanic spin off movies that happen just because other people liked it a lot more than I ever will.) Judging games on sales alone and saying it's worthless to try an...
Meh. "Nobody actual wants to move about while they play," hm? I think the author's wrong. Wii proved that there's a segment of the population that does want to be doing something physical while they're playing games.
Who do they think they are, Apple? Haha. Yeah, I don't get the appeal of Netbooks anyways.
So... they're cool with it if I download it as a demo? Because I'd really love to see if it can catch my interest again (I liked The Sims, and The Sims 2, but... damn, more of it?)
@sidar: You're probably right in that they didn't ever say it, but it was implied and understood by (I think) most people who bought the Wii. The people I know who bought the Wii at launch certainly thought they were getting 1-1 or nearly 1-1 control. They shouldn't have had to be watching what Ubisoft said in order to know what they were getting, or to read between the lines and notice what Nintendo was NOT saying...
All the ads I saw on TV made it look like you were controlling...
This just in-- stores to stop selling computers because of Steam!
I'm sure the game stores would rather lose the sales to Walmart than sell something that will earn them less over the long run.
Damn it, he gave the Colbert Bump to the Natal!
@Greywulf: Don't get me wrong, I think the online content is probably good too... but the core MGS market is single player. It wouldn't have killed them to release something for that, would it? Trophies would have been nice, even if they were just the exact ones that you're earning in the game-- let the guys who earn Big Boss status have a Big Boss trophy to show off with, you know?
I'd buy a single player extra in a heartbeat, too. Give me Snake Tales or give me... erm... I dunn...
Okay, the dude had trouble understanding MGS3.
WTF? Is he brain dead? MGS3 was pretty damned accessible. It didn't introduce too many concepts from previous games (MGS4 had a lot of references to older games that I could understand a newbie not getting, and MGS2 was strange enough at the end that I can get why someone would find it a bit difficult... hahaha, I can't call things a "bit" "challenging" on this site, bad swear filter!). The plot was fairly standar...
You know, you really have to understand that your experiences with a product give you no right to say whether or not you're enjoying that product. Only people who have other (clearly better) priorities have the right to say whether or not you may legitimately enjoy your product. If you still enjoy it, you're just a fanboy and should be shunned.
(Seriously, can't we leave the bashing to the commercials and just be happy that people can use the computer they enjoy? Would you have g...
