It does depend where you go, and what the problem is. I have had good results with my dealership, and trust them. Granted someone with 30 years of experience would probably be a better choice, There are equally knowledgable people at dealerships.
Personally I feel that a lisenced game with a preexisting world, like middle earth, can add alot more to the game. With such a well developed world, game designers already have story, detail, and world outlines to follow, making it easier for the producers to design a game, and allow gamers to feel a greater connection to the world, from other sources of media.
I don't think these small car repair shops should recieve access to car computers that manufacturers don't want them in. By restricting access, car manufacturers can ensure quality, and knowledge about a car.
With sucha a range of vehicles on the roads today, chances are that some of these smaller car repair shops have not worked on a car that is the same type as yours.
Yeah I sure get pissed off after playing tetris. I look in the mirror and think "holy shit! look at how much weight i gained since I started playing today" then I go raging around the neighborhood throwing bricks, trying to pile them into nice stacks.
I totally disagree with charging an initial purchase for the game, and then a monthly fee, but sometimes it has to be done. I think the best option is to have an optional free download of the game from their site. That way you don't have to pay an additional 50 dollars for it.
I find that games I feel are worth the money when they have about a $2/hour playing values, plus replay value. If a game is only going to take me 5-10 hours of game play and costs me 60 - 70 bucks (CDN) It's hardly worth the money. Older games like starcraft have given me the best replay value with a decent single player time + a vast amount of online time that I've played it.
This is one reason I find that online RPGs can be very good bang for the buck. While 7 - 20 bucks a month (again CDN) may seem huge, the entertainment is more than going to the movies, or buying a new game every month.
Perhapse if this whiner was given a budget affording him only one or two games a month (or every 3 months as the case is for some people) he will start to appreciate their length.
For casual Gaming, I've found that there is an older MMOG that allows decent play for little time. The Realm Online has combinations for it. With a huge expansion of levels, a level doesn't take too long to get, so a casual gamer can grab one or two and log for the day. Secondly, powerful weapons aren't extremely rare, but there are some rare ones. Logging when needed requires little effort, as does other aspects of the game. While a hardcore gamer may consider some of these flaws to a system, it helps balance out the feeling that casual gamers are out of place.
It's difficult to compare Blizzard's Diablo 2 and SOE's SWG. First off, you pay for it to be playable. with D2, it's not monthly charges so they are making little to know money off of battle.net. D2 was still playable when it first came out, unlike SWG where many things were not ready for it's launch. A player paying a monthly subscription fee should be getting those updates if the producers want them to continue paying. With D2 on the other hand, the player has already payed, and aren't shelling extra cash out to fix problems, or implement unimplemented materials.
What seems to plague many online games is that the game is pushed into publication with large problems.
Why call the judge at the office? Where do telemarketers piss you off at the most, at home I bet. I'm not sure if judges have their phone numbers in the phone book but if they do:
1. Go to switchboard.com and search for Lee West in OK.
I got 7 results, two of them are Lee R West. Of those two, one of them has a (405) area code, the same as the chambers house...
So if some gamers get slight motion sickness for 3-D games, will that phenomenon increase? As a gamer that gets motion sickness from certain FPS (not all, only some), I'd hate to see something with such potential just make it worse
That's unfortunate, although not unforseable with the fall of the DreamCast. If it was a free game, I would understand, but stopping it out right seems outrageous, very few would want to pay for the last month knowing it will all be erased in a moment.
Out of Curiosity, how many play PSO? Also, is the hacking as rampant on the GameCube and XBox?
