Honestly, I never even made it through the first one...

Yeah, I'm not really picturing many folks wanting to carry a controller accessory for their already portable device either. While at home, I could play a console game. I think the reality of Ouya will predict the future of Apple's controller.

And comedy!

This is just society, man, trying to keep the Night Owl down!

I actually liked it because of those reasons. There was a theme of self-discovery versus (self-)deception that I really dug. Sephiroth discovering he wasn't the hero/special person he thought but an alien/experiment, and losing his shit. Cloud truly believing he fought Sephiroth as a near equal, but had really just…

I'm not hating, but I do much prefer games with air control in mid jump. There was nothing more infuriating than realizing the instant you pushed the button too early and watching, time slowed, as Link arced, painfully right into the hole to die a horrible, unseen death.

Back to back Jimmy Fallon posts? Slow news day?

I can't wait for this to skip over Android phones, so I can never play it!

When did "go outside and play" stop being normal? Once, I was dating a single mom, and we were staying with some friends who were also parents. The kids, all under five, were going apeshit! I told them all to put their coats on, go outside and run some energy off. The kids thought it was a great idea and were…

"I don't know where you got that stats, but I'm questioning its existence."

Exactly. If giving up ownership meant cheaper games, I'd be inclined to consider it more. But it's a promise no one is making, or even talking about, except a few conjecturist gamers out there.

I'm inclined to agree, they didn't implement to gain an upper hand in the market. Sony isn't exactly known to be a customer-friendly company though, so again you could be correct and they could activate it later.

I personally think they're the same. It seems a lot of PC gamers are so bow-legged from getting outrageous EULAs-codes-hoops where the sun don't shine that they've become zombies who are now trying to get console gamers to drink the same Koolaid.

If that's true, then Sony lied their asses off about not implementing a console-driven form of DRM. Is there anything confirming/denying that patent went into the PS4?

So, you tell me in one reply how publishers won't enter the used games market because there's no money in it for them, now you're telling me GS is stealing revenue from publishers.

GS doesn't have any problems - they're a profitable business. Your inference that they have problems is you ignoring a basic risk-reward business model. You want one company to accept all the risk, then share its rewards with a bunch of other companies.

"Publishers have no interest in buying back their own gear, it makes no sense for them to do so. Imagine having to return 50% of your profit because suddenly a lot of people got bored with your game, and perhaps 10% of those copies got resold for a cheaper price. Yeah, that sucks pretty bad."

"Why would the publishers/developers buy back their own games?"

30%? No, I hardly think so.

Sure they do - it's DLC. Good DLC, like Dishonored's, are going to net their publisher's an add'l $20 from me. How often is DLC that meaty? Are we seeing multiplayer DLC? It seems to me vg publishers' have a perfectly viable business model, they're just not taking much advantage of it.
