That's not a logical comparison, stealing actually subtracts what the 'seller' has, whereas the only thing you're taking when pirating something is the download servers' bandwidth.

I think it might be a typo... best to wait until he confirms.

Yeah, I haven't got a clue what he is talking about...

As a 21 year old male, I agree, and will play it anyway :P.

Yeah, Nintendo's UI isn't particularly wonderful, certainly not aesthetically. They go for a sort of chunky look which is almost the opposite of modern design. That said, the 3DS' option to resize all the menu items is a nice bit of customisation that could be useful on all other consoles.

The difference is the sharpness and the colour to the image. Going back to playing a PS2 game in low resolution on a flat-screen TV is a real eye strain I find, and the resolution change to HD is hugely noticeable. They haven't actually fundamentally changed the graphics though, these HD re-releases never do (except…

Yeah, Bowser's Inside Story drove me nuts with all the tutorials. The first 2 hours had them almost constantly, and then infrequently for a couple of hours after that. You would've thought they'd have an 'I know what the fuck I'm doing' option.

For sure. I'm slightly confused why Nintendo have made this game just from looking at previews. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure the dungeons and puzzles will be as well-designed as ever, but everything else about it looks like they tried to remake LttP with crap, new graphics, but then decided they could change the…

It's likely she'll find it a bit complicated after the first couple of missions. The aim is a big pain in the arse on the GamePad as well. Personally, I'd agree with Doopllss, and say Mario and Zelda are better introductions. Even if you find something too hard, you can go and roam around and do easier parts again,…

I didn't have high hopes for it, but frankly it's one of the best games I've played this year, if not the best. It doesn't do anything staggeringly new, but it incorporates so many things from other stellar games, and does them very well. Then gives it a sheen of brutality and mystery, and some (while slightly cliche)…

Definitely, that achievement seems entirely impossible to me, unless you use a glitch to trap one which I've seen on the internet.

'Fraid not, I've seen it stated a few times there are two story DLCs. The season pass doesn't look such great value now tbh. There was some early bird minor DLC though (probably some weapons or somat).

That example seems like a damn good guess to me.

Actually, it's interesting you say that (I know I am entering this conversation a long time after it was started, but I've had this saved to read some other time XD). I have a close friend who seemed quite introverted in secondary school, but in university got into a sort of friend-making blitz. I am truly envious he…

Except you don't NEED to update at all, people just choose to. Plus, if you already need a computer for work and internet, the added cost of making it a gaming PC isn't that much at all.

Indeed, grinding is an early way of padding out games and artificially giving the game a feeling of progression. It's not awful if the game has an interesting combat system, but most RPGs are slow, turn-based, menu-browsing affairs that are just slowed down by it. The World Ends With You was probably the most…

I don't necessarily agree that children can be quite as socially amazing at a young age, I remember being a right little weirdo at school XD. But either way, I think it's fair to say this is a broad generalisation, and that it was people making fun of people, and this shouldn't be turned into another male vs female…

Yeah, I have 5 and three of them are NES. And New Super Mario Bros U is shit, I totally regret getting it. 2D super mario bros is the only franchise where I will fully accept the level design is so similar from game to game, whereas I will defend Zelda and 3D Mario as being quality and different enough each time. That…

Well alright then, I folded and got it at £1.74. Not a bad price I suppose, they could've charged much more for a classic.

And in that case, I will try and get into Max Payne 2 then. And just like that the list of games I need to play has grown again XD.

Hm, I tried playing Max Payne 1 and I found the voice acting and delivery was good, but the plot was just a bit boring. Kill gangster 1, kill gangster 2, etc. Very video game-y (if you know what I mean). After about half of the game my computer wouldn't play it properly due to being on a modern OS, so I gave up and…
