I thought those numbers were points, a la Bulletstorm.

Yeah, what dean said. I just meant that if they stop people from buying used they've succeeded in their goal, which is stopping people from buying used. I think though they should instead spend their resources on trying to figure out how to get people to buy new.

Where were people getting the impression that it was an RPG? (honest question, no snark intended) The video made it look like almost exactly what I was expecting, except maybe somewhat more action-oriented.

No, that is the point Ryan, they want to do as much to hurt the used market as possible. If they stop people from buying the game used then they've succeeded, even if it means those people never buy the game at all.

Edited mine to add At least one "hard core" shooter designed for Kinect/with Kinect support announced

It's been EXTREMLY heavily rumored that they're remaking Halo: CE for the 360 (that article talks about confirmation but it's still written in terms of anonymous sources, so technically it's a rumor).

I was under the impression that as long as it was just rumored it was okay, we just can't put it if it's been "confirmed". If that's too generic though I can change it. @Dean: ah, sorry. Damn, that means I have to come up with 5 more things...

My predictions: Halo: CE HD remake officially announced, dated November 2011 Touch-screen controller confirmed for Project Café Xbox 360 4GB + Kinect bundle dropped to $250 Playstation 3 160GB dropped to $250 At least one "hard core" shooter designed for Kinect/with Kinect support announced From Dean's pool: 360 successor announced I'll think of the remaining 4 later.

I'd like to see the PSP Splinter Cell and Assassin's Creed games.

I wanted to like Bioshock so much, I freaking love the atmosphere, but I can't get past the shitty gameplay.

I think the menus/maps/etc were made with Flash.

But I think the beta is 2 versions ahead.

Let me put it this way; if your boss isn't chewing the loving shit out of you, you probably did it right. No, there's at least one case where no matter which guy you charge your boss is happy as long as you've got evidence to back it up. If hottie's thinking of the same case as me, I was only about 60% sure I charged the right guy.

Yeah, and then as soon as you come back and you're like "Fuck yeah, motherfuckers, it's on, you fucking Covenant are going DOWN!" the game ends. I saw a video interview before Halo 3 came out where the interviewer asked one of the Bungie guys about people throwing their controllers in rage at the end of Halo 2, and the Bungie guy said "I don't think anyone threw their controller with rage, they may have dropped it in amazement..." No, I fucking threw my controller in rage. Literally. And I don't usually do that at games.

This. The content of the plot is fairly straight-forward, the actual delivery is a convoluted, nearly incomprehensible mess.

Raptr says I have 191 hours in ME2 and 138 in ME1, and that's only counting since last August when I signed up to Raptr. It's probably only about 40 hours short in ME2, but I bet it's got less than half of my ME1 hours counted.

Oh god yes. Molyneux/Lionhead, I respect that you were trying to get people who don't usually use menus to see the various functions of your game. That's fine. Do that. Just don't TAKE AWAY THE MENU FROM THOSE WHO WANT IT! I fucking hated the Sanctuary so much, it made the simplest things a giant hassle. Also, the "choices" in governing your realm were a joke, but I thought the combat was more or less the same as Fable 2. Overall though it was definitely a step backward. It was kinda like Spore, actually, in that it had some cool ideas that just weren't implemented very well at all.

Ah, I never used Xfire.

I thought the plot of Halo 2 was a convoluted, nearly incomprehensible mess. I do agree that the gameplay was better in 2 than 1 though.

You obviously don't understand how the voting worked... *Edit* - Missed a page. Jeez chew, rage much?

I didn't have a Raptr account long enough ago for it to be helpful.

I think (though I could be wrong) that they said that the NGP won't have any physical media, but i don't think they've said whether or not it will be bc with downloadable PSP games.

Dammit, I was looking for a "like this" button, but there wasnt one for it. Maybe I shouldnt be on Facebook so often. You could do the little plus-1 in the bottom right corner.

One of my friends likes the film-grain (on 360) because it disguises the low-res textures and jaggies.
