What the fuck is going on there!? Is it stinging that person?!

The fact that it's cicada shells isn't what's really gross. For me, I don't know what cicada's are, so all I see is an image of (potentially alive) cockroaches all over a girl's head. And that's pretty fucking gross.

Weird- in my mind's eye I recall your comment sounding like you hadn't read the comic and were irritated/joking at the chubbiness. Looking back on it, it's nothing like that.

Yeah, he's an old man in Dark Knight Returns. The muscle has all sagged, even though he's still strong. His proportions are more like an old man's stockiness than a 30 year olds leanness.

Well that's what he looks like in the comic! A lot of that chubbiness is old, sinewy muscle, though. He's still strong as shit.

I don't get this? *Spoilers* the ending I saw had all the conduits on the planet dead and no capacity for superheroes around? It was all only ordinary folk. How will that lead onto a 3rd game?

Team Ico are part of Sony Computer Entertainment already, bro.

I see no "expand" icon, and opening it in a new tab just gives me the same small image.

I'm pretty sure Microsoft take a slice of any game hosted on the XBLA- and this would probably be the slice they take from a hosted F2P game, even if it was for Silver users. However, you could still be right. We still gotta wait and see.

That's how it seemed to me. Though he was obviously legitimately an SAS pro.

Hah, check out Mantis' comment!

On Xbox Live you can have either a Silver (free) account, or a Gold (paid) account. The majority of games with an online function require XBL Gold, but a small minority don't require it, you can play multiplayer with Silver.

Interesting argument- but it would still remove the point of it being "Free to play".

I guess if you spent enough years in that force it'd probably become a pretty strong habit.

Yeah, yeah, I know. Chances are, "Andy McNab" is probably a pseudonym anyway. Wasn't saying he's an ass, just that it seemed anal from the perspective of a detached, non-McNab-fan; even though in reality it's justified.

Oh yeah, apologies.

Yeah, I definitely hear ya. An open world, unless the game is dedicated to it, and developed with it in mind from the outset, is indeed incredibly costly and time consuming.
