Hilarious.
But the lesson shouldn't be "Don't contact the person you stole it from" but "Don't STEAL it in the first place!" Or, in this case, "Don't buy stolen property." It's just stupid. Even if you don't get taunted for it, the property can be taken by the police with no compensation.
Undertow is a good game. As a fan of strategy games, I def. think it's worthwhile. That's just ridiculous to say it "belongs in the dumpster." I'm not a fan of every game, either, but that's no reason to say that Xbox Live has something wrong with it. One game just can't please everyone.
Plus, I honestly like the fact that you have to pay to play on Xbox Live. It's the only way to make it so the service can be moderated. It's the only way that glitchers, racists, etc, c...
I've long been in the habit of ranting about EA whenever the topic comes up. They just mess up every game they get their hands on. I'm still bitter about SimCity 4.
They've been screwing over gamers for so long, it was bound to happen that they'd be losing money over it. The Sims is somewhat fun, but I don't want to buy it because every other week they release another expansion pack that costs enough to be a standalone game--and in order to make room for this extra content, they ...
It's not that bad a name, and it's kind of funny, but I don't blame MS for demanding that it be changed. It's clearly only funny because we don't read "molest" as "to annoy," but it has a sexual connotation that is now in English stronger than the original denotation. If none of us laughed at it, we could claim that it means "to annoy," but clearly we find it funny.
I'm glad that MS tries to clean up Live, because some day I hope to have kids and I w...
SWEET. I love Prey.
Yeah, seriously, I was just thinking the same thing. This isn't the work of some covert Microsoft spy trying to remove any hint of wrongdoing. This is the work of a bored employee fixing the idiotic phraseology of Wikipedia in order put off working for a few minutes. No big deal.
And as a writer, his edits are actually pretty good.
Now they just need to give it a small mass effect core, call it the Mako, put some guy (or girl) named Shepard in it, and drop it on some random planet, and we'll have us quite the video game.
I say:
- Balancing to limit host advantage.
- Matchmaking system like Halo 3, where you can join games with friends and host is not pre-determined (so people don't always get host advantage).
- 10 player games, but not more lest it get really laggy.
- Annex should be such that when someone is on the ground they come back, like in Execution, just so they can't be kept from respawning.
Least of all, 4 player co-op (with even harder AI, but not hard in...
Uh, it kind of sounds like you want Halo 3. Maybe you should go buy that.
I can't wait. Gears 2 will be AMAZING just for being similar to Gears 1. Everything beyond that is a bonus.
I agree, Personally it seems to me that when people get really tired of GTA, it's because all they ever did was run around and kill people, and didn't actually play through the story line and the various challenges. Each game has brought something more, esp. with storyline, so I couldn't call it "more of the same." Also, the mechanics can mean a lot. The limited way in which you do drive-bys in GTA III made it play a certain way that greatly affected the way the game went (to destro...
I hate to say this, but that might actually give some people a big advantage in Gears shot gun battles. You have to know where the middle of the screen is because you don't have time to aim when you're really close up, or when you're roadie running up behind someone.
But I hope no one is that obsessed with winning.
Man am I glad that I didn't open the HD DVD add-on I got for Christmas until the news came out the HD DVD was dead, and I was able to return it. Whew!
I for one am disappointed. Oblivion was pretty darn small. And the biggest problem was that Bethesda packed so many cookie cutter dungeons into Oblivion that you couldn't walk ten feet without running into one--but upon entering there wasn't anything of interest in them besides crummy leveled loot.
In the original Fallout games, when you went to the world map, although it was a map, you had a sense of the utter, vast desolation of the world. And random encounters added to that fe...
yeah, that was pretty funny.
I understand why they are changing the melee (too much whining), but it honestly worries me a bit. I admit it, I often get two extra bullets on a guy and then bash his face in. Now I'll have to get four extra bullets on him, or not try to bash him at all. This could make for a LOT of double-deaths, which aren't THAT bad, but can seriously set back a melee fanatic like myself. (I guess I'll have to learn some new skills.)
What a total waste of money! 90 minutes?! I can get 90 mins of action on Halo 3 or Gears of War easily. Knowing how long some of the missions on Mass Effect took, 90 mins is a very, very short mission, and a huge ripoff. The Batarians can stay extinct for all I care.
I don't get how they can say the game isn't original. I've played a lot of shooters and Gears is NOTHING like any of them. First off, the third person camera (coupled by excellent animations, and other nice touches like the roadie run); second, the way cover is used combined with the dodge moves makes the cover system so much more useful than in any other game; third, I don't know of any other shooter that lets you smash people's heads in with your boot.
Sometimes I don't know WH...
That was just ridiculous anyway for the email address to be advertised on the Internet! That's exactly why I wouldn't have helped anyone if I were Bill Gates. And it is incredibly rude to go and bother Bill Gates over the issue. And seriously, the way he thanks Gates is by going and giving out his email address? I don't have a high opinion of Gates, but he at least deserves not to be harassed by every gamer with a problem.
I agree--the future of Fallout is looking bleak because Bethesda doesn't care about the IP as it's supposed to be, but is out to please the mainstream and all these youngin's who haven't played a better RPG. Anyone who hasn't played the original Fallout and Fallout 2 should go get them right now (instructions can be found online for how to install them on Windows XP).
Leathersoup, look into the history of the game before you accuse the original developers of something. The Fallou...
