  1. Yeah, cause no one here's a big enough nerd to do that.
  2. All the youtube links on this page are blank for me. Are other people having this problem or is it my browser? Actually going to youtube I can view videos fine.
  3. An interesting (though brief) article on Joystiq about reviewing games that are both products and services simultaneously. I like the restaurant analogy, and think it makes sense that you would consider how good the service is when reviewing the game. What good is a fantastic game if you can't reliably access it?
  4. Yeah, the lack of a two-step system is MS's fault. If EA had made it a proprietary, EA-only system instead of using MS's then people would have just bitched about that (assuming MS would even let them).
  5. I've always just assumed that video game characters all use superglue instead of shampoo. Immersion fixed.
  6. Are hair physics really something to be getting excited about anyway? I mean yeah, it's nifty, but hype-building?
  7. I don't think it was me. Might have been Dean.
  8. I still can't get over how fucking stupid the name "Charms" is for that menu.
  9. God I wish that would be announced. Fingers crossed.
  10. So what? It's a joke/popular code name. Once they announce the real name I'll start calling it that.
  11. Okay, that's what I was looking for. I just wasn't sure if you were just assuming it was 720 screens or if there was info/rumors to that effect? Also, what's wrong with calling it the 720? It's shorter than Xbox 3.
  12. That just says it's releasing after the 720. I was asking if you had a reason for thinking those renders aren't on PS4 or PC.
  13. Is there a reason for thinking it's the Xbox 3 specifically and not PS4?
  14. http://www.joystiq.com/2013/03/05/report-dead-space-4-canceled-after-poor-dead-space-3-sales/ Supposedly Dead Space 4 has been canceled in pre-production because DS3 didn't make its sales target. Cue debate about whether it was because it moved away from its horror roots. *Edit* - A commenter on the RPS article suggested that the fact that it's not on Steam could have contributed at least to lower PC sales.
  15. Alright, I've just been waiting for this, now I can launch on my epic quest to bring all my Shepards through the final installment.
  16. Is 600k considered selling so well? That seems mediocre at best, though the development costs were likely lower than its console brethren.
  17. http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2013/03/04/assassins-creed-iv-black-flag-revealed-to-us-last-week/ The ocean is supposed to be open-world-style, rather than the single missions of AC3. In fact the impression is that the game as a whole is supposed to be open world, but we'll see. One thing though is that obviously with the ocean being part of the open world it will be able to be much larger than if it was primarily land, since the ocean is uniform and 1) doesn't require design effort to make bigger, and 2) won't require nearly as much in terms of computing resources to make bigger.
  18. I've decided there's a third option I'm desperately hoping for: C.) It does well enough for them to know there's interest, but the sales are obviously hurt by the online requirement so they abandon it next time around.
  19. I doubt they'll lower prices again anytime soon. As I understand it the 3DS is selling fine now, and you know Nintendo hates taking a loss on hardware. *Edit* - That is, unless manufacturing costs have come down below the current price, then they might drop it some more.
  20. Wouldn't it be shorter than MGS4's cutscenes if it were only 5 hours?
  21. Totally missed opportunity to arrange his guns in the shape of the Assassin symbol:
