By selling you more DLCs to "fix" DA2?

5469d ago 2 agree0 disagreeView comment

From the achievements, it looks more like a quest DLC, not expansion pack.

I have no interest in a mid story DLC. With quest DLC, it plays like I missed something while I was playing DA2. It's like by the way, here's another quest you "forgot" while playing the main game.

Make a post DA2 story expansion pack that tells what happens to the Champion that is worth telling. I have no interest in playing another mid story quest DLC.

To get core gamers to return especially making Wii U as preferred game console, Nintendo has to out do PS3 and X360 capabilities. Hyping more powerful hardware isn't remotely enough. Keep introducing new controllers aren't the solution. One area that Nintendo still isn't committed is online gaming. Keep talking about it is pointless. Letting publishers push it isn't going to go anywhere because all that become is no consistency on what to expect or works.

Remember it takes another 2 years or more before game developers start to make games truly utilize the new console abilities.

With the rising cost of making game with more detail and better graphics, it remains to be seen how many next gen games will utilize the most out of the console hardware.

Either we are going to see the retail price going up again (most likely) or many games graphics look only somehow better than today's gen. This is what most gamer...

But if MGS1 is remastered for HD with a lot of work and cost, will the profit be enough?

5470d ago 2 agree1 disagreeView comment

That is the reason game publishers don't want to remaster PS1 games. Too much work and cost to redo the graphics to look decent on HD.

Also the reason why there are many PS2 games remastered in HD because the graphics are good enough to look decent with minimal work to enhance the graphics.

There aren't enough PS2 remaster to HD released (plenty announced) yet but over the time will be interested to see the total sales. Unless they can sell in huge nu...

In the past, x.x1 update supposed to mean minor bug fixes. x.x update supposed to mean a few new features. And x.0 update means a lot and major features update.

With marketing today, x.x1 is more used as features added or changed that they want to keep quiet. x.x or x.0 are used depending amount of marketing hype they want you to know. There are many x.0 update today that should be x.x update but consumers don't get as excited when they see x.x update compared to x.0 upda...

How does promo Gold Live pricing work at different countries? In US, it's $1/month but UK is 1 pound/month. That's 1.6X more expensive.

I have both PS3 and X360. Just because PSN is free, it provides less features than Silver/Free Live. With Gold Live, it has more features than PS+.

It's perfect for FPS that has short single player campaign. Even got time left to play a few hours of online multiplayer. I rented BlackOps and all I'm interested is the single player campaign. Even certain games that has activation code, most still give 2 days free online multiplayer trial.

For short single player only game, it's also perfect.

If Redbox is smart, they should add more game titles that have short gameplay.

The salesguy at Gamestop is expected to sell as many used game as possible. Obviously, it's more profit for the store. As buyers, if the salesguy insisted to only sell an used copy, we can always say no. It's the same as being asked to buy the discount card. Unless the discount card is used often to buy used game, it's pointless to spend the extra $15. The salesguys at Gamestop or any store will always try with their sales pitch but it's the buyer that determines to fall into ...

Everytime I tried to go into PSN Store, the screen goes black for 20 seconds, then XMB wave theme, and error 80023102. Searching Google, the error usually refers to adding funds problem.

One area that Nintendo has never done well is online gaming. But both PS3 and X360 have great online multiplayer capability in their games. Can Nintendo create a solid online capability like PSN or Live in a very short time? It's not something that can happen easily. After 5 years, PSN is finally about the same level as Live. Nintendo is 6 years behind Live not counting Xbox 1 Live.

Even Wii "2" hardware is slightly more powerful than PS3 and X360, most

What if you reload the last part of ME2 save before going to the final battle and break off the relationship with your love interest? Does that count has still being faithful to ME1 love interest.

One pros about Microsoft Points is because MS Point doesn't equal to dollar, it's more common to find MS Points on sale for less than the actual value.

How often do you see Playstation Point card on sale because the value is printed with dollar on it?

I rather use Microsoft Points that is often on sale than Playstation Point card that is almost never on sale. It's easy to divide Microsoft Points by 80 for the actual dollar value.

It's not 100% accurate that Mass Effect 2 can be played without PSN service to be up. If you bought ME2 after PSN went down, there's no way to activate Cerberus for some of the DLCs that were removed from the disc.

Game publishers keep moving some of the single player contents as DLC to ensure gamers buy the game new. With PSN now down for about 3 weeks, it proves online dependency to get the remaining DLC is not the solution. I agree having an online service down for...

I don’t think Shepard should spend the time for romance in ME3 with Earth and everyone in danger. Maybe Shepard should take a raincheck on his romance until he has saved everyone.

Or, have an option on Shepard getting busy in bed while Normandy gets attacked and everyone got killed because of his personal need.

I would say blame the gamers. Why? It's supply and demand. Too many gamers are so willing to buy newly released games because they can't wait to play even they know the games will be incomplete and buggy. Seriously, how many games released today only have minor bugs?

As there are plenty of gamers that are willing to buy broken games, the publishers see that as acceptable business practice to patch the games later. Even patching the games is acceptable, there's no ...

Has Sony forget what version number means in software subversion control rules? So far, Sony has tried to hide twice on not incrementing the firmware subversion number after they made a bug fix. It doesn't give Sony the excuse in trying to protect their image by releasing buggy firmwares and then covering up the fix by releasing the same version number. They also didn't update the feature/bug change in the firmware history so that most consumers wouldn't remember about their mista...

It's the fanboys that like to debate which version is superior. For a PS3 fanboy, does he really want to see PS3 version isn't more superior than X360 version after having to wait for a year?

What if ME2 was timed exclusive for PS3 first and then ported to X360 a year later. You are going to see the fanboys doing similar debates.

For myself, not being a fanboy of any console is the best way to enjoy games. If the game isn't exclusive, I pick the b...
