Making it up as they go along.

Bioware used to be known for making great and memorable RPGs. They got arrogant enough to attack JRPGs. But now Bioware makes terrible RPGs, if you can still call them that. Gears of War clone, WoW clone, offline WoW clone. The only difference is that Bioware has a shitty dialogue choice system and "relationships"…

I wouldn't waste my time arguing with Biodrones. They are without a doubt the most rabid group of fanboys this generation. Bioware has lost their soul to EA. They've already destroyed Mass Effect, Dragon Age, and Knights of the Old Republic. They've got nothing left at this point. Bioware isn't in the business of…

Does it go waka waka instead ribbit?

I couldn't get over how poorly it ran. Fighting the same boss wasn't a problem. Fighting the same boss with the same constant slow down killed it for me.

Yes, other JRPG's do this, but the main FF series has never had difficult battles. I always find myself thinking of FFXII where all I literally did once I hit a certain part of the game was hold forward and the AI essentially did everything for me. The difference when looking at XII and XIII compared to older FF's was…

Farming:

The normal battles in XIII were quite a bit more challenging than the ones found in other FF games. Yes, I do agree that item and health management is a fun mechanic but he's also right that it did raise the challenge level. The problem with what you're saying is that more often than not items were simply not needed…

It's usually love or hate with FF8.

It should be obvious by now that major publishers have no idea how gamers think. All they see is potential profit and assumes that it should be rightfully theirs. Just look at DRM on PC games.

Valve doesn't tie Steam accounts with forum accounts. Valve won't take away your library just because you said something they didn't like on their forums. This isn't something new either so you can't say it was an exception or a mistake.

What makes you think EA will hold themselves to the same standards as Valve, especially your idea of pre-order incentives? EA LOVES pre-order incentives. And they can make the excuse that they're only responding to Valve and their pre-order TF2 hats. Anyone can see the difference but I doubt EA will care and push…

The Wii U is rumoured to be similar to the 48XX series of AMD cards. The weakest of those cards is roughly on the same level as the 6670, though the 6670 would probably benefit from better architecture. Wii U specs haven't been finalized but what if the Wii U GPU is actually closer to the 4870 or 4890? Could Nintendo…

According to Tom's Hardware: 8800 GT 512 MB, 9800 GT, GT 545 (DDR3)

3 games, only 3 games, is all you really need to last forever. Civilization 4, Team Fortress 2, and Dwarf Fortress. Two of those are free and the other can be found for dirt cheap.

I know they have this theme going where CM's pretend they're droids or whatever, but I'm beginning to wonder if they actually are robots now considering how shitty the Bioware staff that posts have been.

That's how they roll. Get in trouble for farming, for playing the Auction House, for swearing in private messages, and other things that other MMO's wouldn't bat an eye at.

Nintendo doesn't redesign their consoles. The PSP has had just as many revisions as the DS. Just because you don't consider the PSP Go a "real" PSP doesn't change the fact that it has PSP in its name and plays PSP games.

I'm not entirely sure they know how to make money that well either, at least not in the digital age we're in now. We've heard talks about viewing pirates as potential customers. We've seen success stories where piracy has led to higher sales. It's a double-edged sword however (your product has to actually be worth…

Activision might be greedy but I don't think they've ever been as blatantly anti-consumer/anti-gamer as Ubisoft and EA.
