Or this has nothing at all to do with games. This is specifically for apps like Netflix, Windows Media Player, ESPN, and all future NON-GAMING apps. Every app on the 360 currently already has full kinect integration using hand gestures or voice commands, but you don't need the Kinect at all to use them.

Remake Tony Hawk 3 and 4 into one game with new graphics and skaters, ditch that horrid motion control board from the last two games and they'll have a bestseller on your hands.

The Old Republic's beta was 10x more polished, stable and engaging than Final Fantasy 14 will ever be.

The game is so bad, so laggy, has a HORRIBLE UI, suffers from awful "consloe-itis", is boring and uninspired and was originally rushed to market is pre-alpha level quality.

Honestly, if you don't have some form of internet access in 2011, you shouldn't be playing video games. Even soldiers living overseas in over-sized tents have internet access.

Lewdest? No.

I still have EGM and Game Informer, but even then, I usually just read on my iPad when I poop these days. Magazines are becoming a relic as are newspapers and all print media.

I sure as hell hope it doesn't work like that. That would suck.

I wasn't talking "always online" DRM, I was talking more like how Steam does it. You log in to Steam, launch your game and then all saves and such are all done locally.

I really miss the old combat style with action bars and the like. The consoleiness of Dragon Age II really ruined it for me. I agree that the lack of locations was part of what made it so boring for me.

On your point 1: They have to keep that carrot dangling somehow. They have to keep giving you interim goals as you level. Things like getting a companion around level 8, sprint at 15, a ship at 16-17ish, a "mount" at 25, etc. Those are milestones that keep us playing and therefore keep us paying. That's why those…

So I was able to spend a fair amount of time playing Star Wars: The Old Republic during the weekend beta last weekend. I went into it with no expectations at all and without having preordering or plans to purchase.

I wholeheartedly agree. DRM prevents nothing (and sometimes even encourages piracy) and the only people that suffer are legit, paid customers.

Dragon Age: Origins was a great game. Dragon Age II was a terrible game. They changed the game so much and watered it down to the point of being so boring I never even finished it. If they were to go back to Dragon Age: Origins combat and camera angle (on the PC anyway) and added mulitplayer, I think it would be an…

Add the Discovery channels, History, NatGeo and A&E all in HD and you can have my money.

It is the same difference between loving the movie Apocalypse Now or loving the movie 300.

But it's sort of fugly.

Sadly, that is the best looking character I've seen in a Final Fantasy game, except for the face.

Much like the new X-Com game is taking a massive steaming dump on the original IP, the "remake" of The Bard's Tale did the same to the original IP. I played the "remake" on the PS2 when it came out and hated it, but The Bard's Tale from the 80's is one of my all time favorite franchises, so take my opinion for what…
