I still like the DualShock pad/layout, I hated the original PS3 controllers, though. Way too light. Hopefully the extra tech in these will add a touch more heft and then I bet they'll be pretty nice.

+1, Agreed, So true, and so on...

SO what dafuq is this?

Defnitely a supercut.

I am interested in this.

MS Flight Simulator '97 actually had a thing in the back of the manual to record your flight experience in-game and a way to contact a flight school to apply for further, actual lessons.

I would hope no one would take the principles of the game and apply them to the real world. That's just backwards.

I am well aware of that fact. I used that word wrong in the original post and have been taking heat for it ever since. Does no one read the other replies to see that they were not the first to point this out?

I got a couple PS2s in a closet, awaiting my purchase of a TV to hook one up again. I couldn't wait, and downloaded epsxe instead just so I could play this game again. Been playing this fine game again for the past few nights. Hearing that orchestral swell in this FMV once more the first time I booted up the disc gave…

My start screen on my PS2 was crammed with towers. Such a cool little detail.

This would be the sensible choice for sensible people.

Oh, good. A wonderful way to begin melting your teeth from the moment you wake up instead of waiting until 10am or so. Because hey, why wait!

It's not about devaluing it, it's about people's endless desire to over-complicate a simple statement.

Just call them games and don't muddy the waters; that's my stance. It's a bit too much like piddling over what genre of music a track is or isn't from my perspective.

I think that with enough play-time, how to aim with a controller becomes second-nature. It requires a different approach. There's a slow adjustment over time to begin trying to aim where your opponent will be instead of where he is right now. It's a different mentality and now when I get on PC and try to aim with a…

I asked a question a while back about what would make a good Breaking Bad game, and one of the responses recommended an empire-building sim of sorts. THAT might be a great fit.

Arguing that Sim City isn't a game to (sort of) support the idea that Proteus is a game?

Agreed with this.

I'm not snobby about performance. If a game plays and plays smoothly, I'm happy. I couldn't give a crap how many jaggies it has or what the texture filtering is doing or even if it's in DX9 or DX10/11 mode, don't care, as long as the experience is intact and runs, I'm satisfied.

I intend to spend quite a bit. There was that subtext in my post, though I know the observation of the specs and my hypothetical "upgrade" talk dominate the post.
