Correct, but as Solidworm (below) stated: with the online pass they would be almost equal. The idea here would be that games would be more affordable (and I could buy MOAR) and used games would fall by the wayside because used games wouldn't be worth the trade in (it has to remain profitable to begin with). So, If Game X is $40 and GameStore wants to sell it used, they must charge a minimum of $30 because the online pass is $10. Which would force them to sell it for less: $25? Then us...

It's about time they tackled that. Finally, on to other things.... /facetious.

What? You are using logic, sir, and that shall not be tolerated! ;P Do you not know where you are?

So there is no relation to Ceiling Cat or Basement Cat?

Try lowering the price to prevent ludicrous used game sales. If games were 40-50, then trade in values would decline because used games must have a price tag that is lower than the new.

Then I am picking between a $30 used game or $40 new. I am going new, especially if you include some good artwork ala most PS3 inside covers, for example.

Yeah, really. I thought I was going to hear about some real sleepers. I already prebought Dark Souls. I want Bastion....on the PC. Is Shadows FPS? I am on FPS burn and am trying to avoid them even though Rage looks fantastic.

"Logically" speaking Nintendo has been around far longer than Video Games. Their assets are ridonkulous. "Logically" speaking. They are not going anywhere.

Don't care what your problem is, but N4G policy is that "satire" is to go on Bad Joystick. If you have a problem with that tell an admin. I am sure they will be happy to point you in the right direction.

Yeah. This type of stuff belongs on Broken Joystick: Funny or not.

Nice. I have been looking for something enjoyable and piratey! Arrr. Not a bad review. Like the rubric he used.

Thanks for the info! Maybe they will make enough money to make it feasible. Grr

That wouldn't surprise me in the least. Burnout Paradise is one of the best because it was just pure, simple fun. I would love to see another.

Grrr... I so want this for PS3.

Oh. And they send you review material as a way of marketing their game. That isn't hard to figure out. Ever read POTM, Nintendo Power, etc?

Of course it was a joke. The blog (that I wrote, AND LINKED) that I copied it from verbatim is found right here:
http://n4g.com/user/blogpos...

It is the final paragraph. As you can tell by the posting date of 182 Days ago, it was actually written before your review of Limbo. It is something I post at the bottom of many generic reviews. Although it is the first time I posted the "rev...

Funny. I just flipped through your comments on this site and you claim others can't get satire or a joke. If you didn't realize the satire (ie a generic review of a generic review) then I guess you can't take a joke.

Shall I quote many of your responses to others?
"Aaaannnnd no one can take a joke. Glad to see all is fine in the world."
"Why are people getting so upset up over this? It's a joke article."

Yes, Rabid, I do. I just was making the point that when you compare successful titles it doesn't make sense.

Buy both. They will be equally amazing but completely different experiences.

This is like comparing a gaming PC to the DS. Both are good at what they do, and other than being a game, they shouldn't be compared. I think Deus Ex has more in common with Skyrim than Dark Souls will.

Your Random Review of Limbo for the PS3 is trite. It is a poor example of critique. Your comments are wonky and your analysis is tacked on. It would be even more cliched had I not had to grind through all of the tacked on, random hype of your prowess as a reviewer. And since you have written a review before, it certainly doesn't live up to the standards previously set by your review of From Dust for Xbox360.
I give your review a 0.13.
