Same morons that bash EA and THQ for online passes, but everything is holy and sanctified with SONY. SONY could release an update next year that disable backward compatibility and the majority of PS3 owners, even with a BC system, will defend this. SONY can take their PSN Pass and plug it up their ass.
Video game crash in 3...2...1...
I agree with Raven. Like I do with EA games and THQ games with online passes I will buy any SONY game with online pass systems used just to screw them over. I don't play online on the majority of games anyway so it doesn't affect me.
There, I said my "doesn't affect me" piece. What the hell are you going to do about it? Click the disagree button? Bubble vote me down? BRING IT ON!!!
And cellphones give us brain tumors right? Oh wait.
These health scares are irritating. I have been using the 3DS and have yet to even get a headache let alone eye damage. HELLO THE 3DS HAS A FUCKING SWITCH TO TURN OFF THE 3D!!! Nobody is forcing you to use 3D to enjoy the system. It's your own damn fault for not doing something that simple.
Blame video games for seizures why don't you.
Especially since you pay 60 dollars a pop on a game, it make sense going after all the freebies to make your purchase worth the money.
Only DLC I buy are expansion packs. Buying a single object for a game is a ripoff. Jesus, the game already costs more than the games last gen. Why pay more for garbage I'll never use more than once?
PC is king of gaming. Hands down!
N64 is home to some of my best memories in gaming. Super Mario 64 was the first 3D game I've ever played in my life and got to say it was such a revolution. I don't see anything in the future of games recapturing the same excitement I had with Mario 64. As a matter of fact I could see myself finding a replacement for gaming if everything goes the way of the cloud computing/OnLive.
Didn't the same guy say consoles will be dead in a decade?
"So yea.. Carmack knows what hes talkn about."
No.
I agree, well to be honest I may compromise with an all digital download future, but that may not happen any time within the next decade. Cloud computing gaming however is something I'll boycott. Even if OnLive is the last company on earth I would go out of my way and start my own company to compete with them before I would buy into their service.
Major ISP bandwidth caps are on the rise and an all digital future will make this a major issue. It's already an issue when people stream from Netflix on a regular basis. Not good at all. Plus it can take hours to download a massive game.
I agree. Nintendo is giving gamers what they want. They all want a system for the core games. Nintendo addressed that by getting major publishers on board and making an open online platform (no other console does this). Guess what, they still call it a kiddie console. Say what you will, but I as a core gamer believe in this system.
Now excuse me while I make me a cup of coffee and relax while watching this post get a heaping mountain of disagrees! :)
There has been talk that Nintendo will have an open online platform. This means 3rd party will be able to maintain their own online infrastructure if they wish. This is similar to PC gaming in terms of online, so this should be good news that the WiiU will have an excellent social network.
God forbid having an opposing opinion on a post. What a crime! /sarcasm
Gray-Fox-Type0, I have no hard feelings for you. But with much respect, I disagree with your post (didn't click on the disagree button though).
I wouldn't speak for those that would prefer to game on a PC over a console. You said no one cares or is bothered about specs, well we have a lot of PC gamers that do care about specs. We even have a lot of console gamers that bash Nintendo's consoles for the specs. You also mention it being a hassle to build a rig, well y...
Wow, are you f*cking serious? You must be jealous PC gamers get more luxury with their games than console gamers. Don't worry though, we all get what we paid for.
To add an idea to the list: Reliable systems. No need to go through another 7th generation when our costly systems fail with the RRoD or YLOD and having to pay for a repair or a new one. We already pay enough to own the damn machines. We expect them to last us at least 10 years, especially given most consoles made back then still work as they should today. My old consoles like the Atari2600 still works.
This will be interesting to see what game wins the sales department. My bet is on MW3 for obvious reasons. BF3 on PC will be my game of choice though.
This is what EA said about online passes:
"This is an important inflection point in our business because it allows us to accelerate our commitment to enhance premium online services"
And SONY:
"This is an important initiative as it allows us to accelerate our commitment to enhancing premium online services across our first party game portfolio."
