It's still just rumors. Wake me when there's something official.

What are you going to use any of them for?

I see your point, but for me at least the issue is with the implementation. It shows a willingness to fuck up the game mechanics for DLC. If this thing did something more sensical, like reducing pollution from cars in its vicinity, then I wouldn't have a problem with it, but the fact that it magically just increases happiness everywhere is... sigh. The advertising aspect doesn't bother me by itself, only as it relates to the other aspects of it that bother me. I'm fine with product placement that makes sense (this makes sense, as does stuff like vending machines in a shooter that are real soda brands, billboards in a racing game that have real ads on them, etc).

Amazon gives sellers the option to send the thing to them, and they'll hold it in the warehouse until someone buys it. That may be why it's "like new" but coming from the warehouse, it still could actually be used.

At least it's free?

At first I didn't like daylight missions, but they were designed so you could still be stealthy so after a time I came to like them fine.

"There are 700 ways to get into that building."

I bought one fully intending it to be my Nintendo Machine, so as long as I get a 3D Zelda (beyond the WW remake), a 3D Mario, and a Smash Bros I'll be content, if maybe a little disappointed. Also, part of the reason is that the graphics chip on my Wii was fucked up and put matrix code over everything, and I wanted to be able to play Wii games without that.

I doubt it's that it's underpowered. That would be a concern with porting PS4/720 games to it, but not with porting PS360 games. I'm guessing it's either the small install base, it being difficult to work with Ninty, or some of each.

Bioshock 1 is INFINITELY better with the mouse acceleration disabled. The last time I tried to play it was 3 years ago, and apparently at that time I didn't know enough about PC gaming to diagnose mouse acceleration as the problem. *Edit* - First sentence pun about Bioshock Infinite was entirely unintentional.

I agree. Though Majora's Mask is pretty terrible.

Actually at the time I didn't have a next-gen console. Didn't get a 360 until a year later. Maybe it's as simple as the first level being way better like you said and that coloring my experience throughout the rest of the game.

Korra/Bolin would have been SO MUCH better than Korra/Mako. wtf were the writers thinking?

Idk, maybe I'm crazy because the Metacritic ratings of the last-gen one are somewhat higher than of the current-gen one, but I just remember playing the one on Xbox and not thinking it was very good, and then playing the one on 360 and really liking it a lot. I have since played the 360 one more than once, but haven't played the original Xbox one since launch so I don't remember it very clearly.

It's actually two different games, the Xbox/PS2/Gamecube/Wii version bears only the most superficial resemblance to the 360/PS3/PC version. Almost all the levels are different, the plot is different, the mechanics are different, everything. And it's certainly not universally considered bad. I'd even be skeptical that it's generally considered bad. It is generally considered not-as-good-as-Chaos-Theory, but that's not the same thing as bad.

I actually found a different fix that doesn't get reset every time you launch the game: Fixed it for both the controller and the mouse. Although I just did it in the User.ini in the AppData folder, it still seems to carry over between sessions.

I figured out what it is about the controls in Bioshock 1 that made it feel so bad to me: there's way too much look acceleration. With a controller if I turn the look sensitivity up high enough to where I can make small adjustments at the right speed then after a half-second of holding the stick it's going way too fast, and with a mouse acceleration is just altogether wrong to start with. Trying to fix it now.

Goddamnit, now I want to play this game just so I can read all these damn spoiler tags. The occasional un-spoilered comments have me intrigued.

Yeah, I felt bad for both Asami and Bolin. I was really hoping the whole Korra/Mako thing would just kind of peter out, allowing Mako and Asami to stay together.

Which Double Agent did you play? The Xbox/PS2/Gamecube/Wii version was pretty bad, but I thought the 360/PS3/PC version was really good.

The lube is a nice touch.

I had $10 in Amazon Instant Video credit that expired tomorrow (got it for buying Halo 4), so I needed to get something and I'd heard this was at least decent. Also my selection was somewhat limited because I didn't want to exceed the $10 and I have Amazon Prime so 90% of the things I would have been interested in were free on Prime.

I'm going to be working on stuff for the house, but I think I'm friends with pretty much everybody on Steam so if you're getting ready to play feel free to hit me up if I'm online. *Edit* - If I'm at the computer I'm always on Steam, but being on Steam doesn't necessarily mean I'm at the computer.

THAT'S WHAT SHEPARD LOOKS LIKE?! His face does not match his voice one little bit.
