The issue is not that you see terrorists killing innocent people. The issue is that it looks very much like you are in control of the terrorists at that point.
I have been overweight for over ten years now and this is the best reason to slim down I've heard yet. I take a great deal of pride in my intelligence, so anything that puts it at risk can not be tolerated.
I think you missed the point of the comment. I believe he was suggesting that because WoW has such a huge amount of players it is obvious that most people have internet access so making online only games is not an issue.
I'm just curious, is the person that modded me Troll suggesting that people who intentionally destroy other peoples property for fun don't suck? If so then I think YOU suck *nyah nyah nyah*!
You are forgetting two things about the $400 version of XboX 360: 1. Hard drive (sold seperately for like $80) 2. The controller you get is wireless (like for instance the WaveBird ($25)).
"What If you don't want wireless? What if you play rpg's for hours on end and want the comfort your control won't run out of batteries, but still want a hard drive and ethernet?"
You plug in the wireless controller...(you can play wired with the wireless controller).
No I did not RTFA because I've been reading about this game for months. Anyways this is just an FYI Wanda vs. The Collosus or whatever they wanna call it now is not a sequel. It doesn't have anything to do with ICO other than the fact that it MAY take place in the same world. Just think about that so you don't miss out on a potentially excellent game just cuz ICO sucked.
ID made it big with wolvenstein but really got well known for Doom. Even big enough to have talks of making a movie out of it and that is pretty big for a vid game.
Just for the record they are no longer talks of a doom movie it has already been made and stars the Rock.
Umm...this wouldn't help Squenix because instead of people going out and buying the PSX version of Chrono Trigger they would just download the FREE and 3D version. Of course lets not fail to mention again that they are legally obligated to defend their IP or lose it.
No matter what people throw out there, the ONLY way to get rid of l33t d00ds in MMORPGs is to drop the MMO. There is no way that any company is gonna have the manpower to track down all the losers and ban them.
I have had my computer for a year now and built it myself with out a floppy drive. I have a couple floppy disks I got with hardware but you rarely actually have to install the crap off there and I haven't had any problems. The only problem is it has that ugly floppy drive shaped hole in the front of my case...
Ok I admit I'm not a fan of Star Trek and haven't seen much, but how the flock do you have a Massive Multiplayer game on a fricken space ship? Would they just have a fleet and people can get beamed from one ship to another? Would an entire fleet land on one planet to find it inhabbited by a bunch of typical MMO creatures for slaughtering? Should I post this anonymously because I'm a stupid head?...nah
For one the final (FINAL) battle in the game is Cloud with his sword and limit break...I rarely used anything with Cloud other than double cut because he just owned on everything straight sword still. Also there is the fact that the bad guys have swords and one would chop him in half while he was casting ultima on another. Not to mention how gay would it be if he fought with nothing but materia he is not a fricken black mage type character. I just don't get what you getting at here...
"Continuity: In the party scene at the space library, Harry Osborn is sitting at the bar getting drunk. He knocks his glass to the ground to drink from the bottle. After talking with Peter, he goes back to drinking, but now it's from a glass again."
After he knocks the glass off the counter with the bottle he grabs another glass.
"Deliberate "mistake": Peter runs into the apartment building on fire to save a child and even though there are flames everywhere, he is able to grab onto a doorknob to see if it is locked without being burned."
The doorknob wouldn't necessarily be intensely hot, in fact if it was then it would be a bad thing to open the door as you would get a major backdraft.
"Deliberate "mistake": Throughout the entire movie, when Doc Ock moves around with his tentacles, it's always in very quick movements, with his tentacles pounding into the ground with "boom, boom, boom, boom..." However, whenever someone actually hears Ock coming, (i.e. Harry on the balcony, the woman in the office, or Peter and Mary Jane in the deli) we can hear very long, three to four-second pauses in between the impacts of his extra arms."
So because he walks one way sometimes he can't walk other ways at times?
"At the end of the "I've changed" conversation with Mary Jane, the taxi is right next to her (you can see its roof next to her face), yet in the next shot, she has to cross the street to get to it."
The taxi next to her drove off and there was another across the street?
There are more but I'm done nit-picking the nit-pickers.
Actually, as somebody else mentioned you all have the same map. You do have a point though, you actually don't want others to see your screen because you have a secret objective that they may be able to interfere with. At the beginning of the mission you might get told to go through the whole level without getting healed. Each person gets something different and whoever sticks to their task the best gets first pick at upgrades at the end of the level. Obviously if they know that you aren't supposed to be getting healed they will heal you as much as possible to increase their own chances of winning.
But still so many people think games are too complex. So I developed the L/R buttons and analog stick to simplify things.
Making things simpler by adding more buttons? Anybody can play an NES game (not necessarily well) with it's 5 buttons. Try and teach somebody who has never gamed how to play just about anything these days and you spend half an hour answering "What's this button do again?". Lets see off the top of my head PS2=13 buttons, XboX=13 buttons, GameCube=10 well Nintendo is still less complicated, but 5 10 = TRUE!
Actually in the trial on manaan you can get dark side points for discovering that he is guilty and agreeing to try and get him off anyways, also for force pursuading the hotel manager to make a false statement. Also in KOTOR for the most part people think you are a good guy until you start talking to them, because well you are a jedi and you travel with a pack of good guys. That is why people still come to you with problems.
As far as my comment on GTA I don't think you got what I was trying to say. I'm not saying there shouldn't be consequences, I'm saying that (like it is now) consequences shouldn't be harsh enough or annoying enough to try and make you less of a bad guy. If you made GTA:VC more "ethical" than the mob bosses would be saying "I need you kill somebody, but you'll be a serious asshole if you do it."
I'd be pissed if they started trying to encourage me to be ethical in my entertainment. Take Knights of the Old Republic (KOTOR) for example. It lets you be a totally evil jackwad, at first you get people saying oh you are naughty blah blah blah, but as the game goes on you can get evil partners who incourage you to be naughty. In fact if you keep the good guys around long enough they start turning evil with you. KOTOR would totally suck if they didn't let you enjoy being evil. How much fun would GTA be if everybody was calling you an asshole and sinner throughout the whole game.

Where can I get a copy of this supposed "malware"? ;)

cuz this game gives me a major woodie.
I hate to admit it, but being the ravenous fanboy I am, I'm most excited about:
Game "To be determined" - Square Enix
