Be nice, the xbox people need to feel they have a reason to buy their console, and sadly: this is it. The rest of us own pcs, where halo clones were old 10 years ago.
buying my games from half price and used cd places helps with that, until they're able to bind discs to a specific platform.
If you don't like paying $60 for a game, don't. You're only encouraging them.
So we're picking on who? I can't tell
an fps that caters to the lowest common demononator that is being ghetto ported to the pc?
or a guy who's seen better days and made one of the games I spent my allowence on when I was a kid?
i'm not too fond of either one.
I'd like to mod myself confused
i can't wait to skip the ads and not watch the videos along with them. I do have a choice after all. i wonder if anyone remembers that as well. i've lived this long without watching youtube/random whatever vids online. i can continue to make it I think.
this is very true. in my area the only people I know with PSp's are the keeping up with the Jones' types who have to have the best/newest shiney thing out. This reads as "I know of about 5 people in 200 that even care about the PSP" which I find amusing.
I'd buy one, if we get a rogue galaxy/ff type game on it, but then it was never marketed towards rpg players now was it?
I've been in the beta for this, and I have to say I love it. If it weren't for all the american players coming in and stealing my mobs however, it's be a lot more fun.
I wasn't asked to participate in the survey, nor anyone I know. So the numbers represented here are in fact just random numbers that mean nothing. It's sad, but true. If you ask 100 nascar fans about nascar they'll 100% agree it's awesome, etc.
nothing to see here guys, move along.
you've hit the nail on the head. WOW is basicly the poor man's mmorpg. It's dumbed down enough that casual players can play, pretty enough to capture said casual players, and occasionally has some end game stuff for the "raiders". one of the reasons why Eq2 (my personal favorite) will never ever be #1 is that they never dumbed down anything in (besides removing the shards early in the second year). Eq2's leveling and tradeskilling is a bitch. Wow's isn't. I played wow for 3 months, and I felt as if I was accidently leveling at times.
WOW is the lowest common denominator of mmorpgs. It attracts and keeps more people than a lot of the "harder" ones. I know more people playing WOW than Guild Wars, City of Heroes, and Eq2 combined.
A shame Vanguard is a pay to play beta, or it could have given wow a run for its money.
no big deal, though. An eq3/Wow2 will eventually take over and we'll have these threads all over again;)
I fail to see anything good in news related to Interplay and gaming. Last time I checked, the last Fallout game was tactics and... well, that kind of speaks for itself doesn't it? So two of the worst together = great? Let's wait and see.
As the only person on the planet that saw the rumble as retarted, this whole topic is well.... retarded. Of course, I don't have plans to buy a ps3 anyway, but that's not the point.
Why should I care if the controller vibrates or not? I'm married;)
Now, maybe if ingame racing and winning gets me credits to buy shit, then I'm all over this. Winning = more tracks = more cars.
Doubtful, but I can dream.
you may be right, but people ARE seeing him and his as being credible. for a lot of people, as mentioned, the daily show is the ONLY news they watch. So while your opinion about yourself may be right, you're not looking at it objectively.
There are a few people who do in fact see The Daily Show as fact, as news, and as the truth. Live with it.
the sales bin is the only place I buy madden from. i just bought 2004 actually.
The fact that madden sells as well as it does says alot for the sad shape of the gaming industry.
personally, i feel the reactions from slashdot users about a game a year+ in the future is better entertainment than news of *another* xbox-only game that will only be xbox only for a few months. I'll happily buy it after it's out on ps3, once the ps3's price isn't stupidly retarded. So, in 2008 when I'm buying GTA 4, I doubt any of us will even remember this thread. We'll be too busy bitching about the Wii 2 and the Xbox 360^2 and Halo 5.
While I don't own a 360, i feel this is a huge non-issue. As a pc owner, and an Oblivion owner; I've paid for the game once, and as far as I'm concerned that's the end of the story. there will be tons of player mods (all free) that i can download at a later date. I pity those dumb enough to pay for mods. But i guess if you've got the cash for a Halo3-Box, then why not eh?
(Oh, I forgot I can't reply without flaming on slashdot: paying for a mod for horse armor is retarded, just buy/steal another horse if yours die. Christ people.)
I'm more curious as to whether a group of men with wooden spears can take out a chopper or tank again...
if that's the case, I'll be sure to be a spearmen in any Civ mmorpgs that come out.
Considering that most Ps2 owners I know loathe anything microsoft, i doubt that waiting another year will do anything to the fanboy fanbase. Since I loathe sports games, I'll happily wait for another year so i can have my ps3 rpgs.
"the credibility and utility of the initial ESRB rating has been seriously undermined."
more like the credibility of ESRB has been seriously undermined.
of course, if parents actually raised their kids, and didn't let Rockstar do it, this would all be a moot point.
I'm going to have to disagree with this. Eva sucked when it was new, when it was unedited and in japanese. Now they're going to see it edited, and badly dubbed.
Anyone who wanted to see it saw it 10 years ago unedited. Stuff like this makes me happy I got rid of cable tv.
Besides, if I ever feel like watching Eva, I'll read a few dozen livejournals.
pointless trolling aside, Disney won't learn anything until they put the parks, all its seperate businesses, and the almighty dollar aside, and hire someone who cares about movies, not the attendance in Disney world.
those "pretentious quasi intellectual twats" are the people who still want a movie worth seeing, so I'm sure you loved treasure planet.

How can I tell if my computer is Y100B compliant? I want to be able to read about this on slashdot in 100B years
Some of us still consider Pluto a planet.

Star ocean is what FF could have been in my opinion and to force me to buy a PSP (and I will, if only for star ocean) is cruel and horrible.
