It's all about the Benjamins baby.
"Look, I am no Microsoft apologetic..."
That was the instant my eyes rolled into the back of my head.
I believe we should continue to talk (in a civil manner, mind you) about it until RROD becomes 1-2% just like every other normal piece of electronics. MS narrowly avoided a global recall by simply opening its wallet to "solve" the problem.
2 buttons, not 3.
L1 - bring up gun
R1 - pull trigger
Triangle is only used if you want to aim better. Have you played the game?
What I find interesting is that during the 3 minute installs between chapters (oh the horror), along with their "take a break lardass...", it mentions "exclusive to the PlayStation3".
Why would they put that in the game if there was a chance it would go elsewhere? I wonder if that was Sony's or Konami's choice to include that text?
Who here volunteers to write Sony's obituary?
A multi-platform game will be the absolute death of Sony. Even worse, it's "only" exclusive in Japan. Oh man, I need to sell my PS3 fast before it loses its value. I can't believe I invested in this failure of a console. What the heck was I thinking?
Edit: While it's pretty apparent that my intent was sarcasm, what MS is failing to recognize is that they have to not just get formerly exclusive Sony games on thei...
If it's so easy, then what's the fix?
1) More compression?
- Only so much you can compress.
2) Reduce royalty fees?
- I wouldn't count on it.
3) Release higher capacity storage medium?
- Force people to purchase a drive due to MS' lack of foresight? That's not fair for consumers.
If someone was smart enough to hack or Photoshop the real sign, then why choose a Saturday for a release date? Moron.
Have any games ever been released on a Saturday?
I'm slowly coming to the realization that FF13 is either vaporware or the world's shortest RPG. We've been looking at the same videos/pics since when, 2005?
Amend: Oh man, Gamespot knows something Square doesn't, it's coming out this fall.

1) "MS about to release a AAA title like Too Human"
-- That's debatable. Let's wait for reviews & a general consensus of people who have played it before proclaiming its AAA status.
2) "But no one, and I mean *no one*, thought Sony would struggle through this gen the way they have."
-- I think just because the PS3 isn’t selling as fast as the Wii is somehow giving the impression it's "struggling". Did you honestly think the PS...
GTA4 inspired me as well; it inspired me to trade it in for MGS4.
But on a serious note and this goes without saying, it disgusts me how people blame others/games for their actions. It's stories like these that get the attention of the media and then politicians attempt to pass more legislation (I'm looking at you Hilary Clinton) in an attempt to "think of the children". This is a damn M-rated game; make it an Adults Only rating for all I care. I'm an adult, I'll be dam...
Do I think all 14-15 million PS3 owners had a flawless upgrade to 2.42? No
Do I think stories are fabricated/blown out of proportion to create a story/hits for a website? Yes
"You have already lost and don't even release it."
I don't think you "release" how sad you sound.
Nice edit job: it's spelled "realize"; you just got a free education.
Laying the sarcasm a tad thick, don't you think?

... meaning planet Earth. It (possible 360 release) would probably would sell more on Mars than all of Japan. :)
You honestly thought FF13 was coming in 2008? lol
My guess:
mid 2009 = Japan
late 2009/early 2010 = NA/EU
Settle down chief.
Simultaneous release, world-wide. Meaning, Japan/EU/NA will get it all at the same time. No one said squat about it coming to the 360; but don't fret, MS is likely writing the check as we speak. *sigh, keeps fingers crossed for exclusivity*
The original release of AC (not sure the diff between original and Complete) was in fact distributed by Sony:

Context, my friend, context:
"The QA session continues. Carmack is complaining about DVDs. He says that from id's point of view, 360's hardware is superior to PS3's but that BluRay's capacity gives Sony's system an important edge, especially for large game worlds like Rage's."
Denial? Sure, for some. 93 was only 1 review, not 100. Statistically speaking, the average has a much greater chance of decreasing than increasing with the more reviews that pour into N4G.
In an attempt to be objective (I personally don't care if Too Human succeeds or fails), let's wait for all the heavy-hitter reviewers and some people to play the full game before we deem it a success/failure.
