Konami won't survive? I have less faith in Nintendo surviving than Konami. Konami makes great series that always sell, not having a console and associated costs to tie them down they just make pure cash. Nintendo only needs to flop with a single system and they will be destroyed. People think the Wii was great and it…

I always feel weird when I try games this way, I don't want a person standing next to me or in front of me while I play. It makes me feel pressured and I end up making embarrassing comments.

You hit on about everything I experience during my closed beta experience. I don't know if a story narrative is enough to drive an MMO to success these days, I think it's definitely one of the most important factors in a MMOs features but if everything else is kind of average then it doesn't really matter what story…

but then a couple months down the line when the population settles and that low pop server has become a ghost town, what then? It happens all too often in MMOs and it's why I end up rolling on near full servers so that it never happens.

"The only winning move is not to play."

by then you might see a sale price of $10-$20 if theyre desperate for subs

he's not wrong, the lucas arts license comes with steep stipulations from what I've read on the net from first hand accounts of dealing with them. But Kotick is scared, WoW is about to get rocked, their new expansion looks like an embarrassment and people are just tired of the same rinse and repeat content Blizzard…

it is bad, theres no denying that but the extent is the debatable part. Nobody knows because you can't say 1 pirated copy = 1 lost sale.

but the piracy on the console is negligible compared to the huge numbers on PC, to them 1-2% piracy on consoles is better than 10%+on PC and its probably even higher than that.

Take what exactly? Internets?

Wishing there was a way to actively sabotage Ubisoft. After the shitty DRM, sub par VERY average games they've put out over the years, they should not be doing as well as they are.

The main quest has hardly ever been the best part of the Elder Scrolls games personally, I find the side quests, the Daedra quests always to be more fun and fresh. The main storyline is something I always just kind of complete eventually when Im probably overpowered by that point. The only main quest I ever truly…

looks like he's either casting some kind of fire spell (which I dont recognize) or the alteration skill that converts health to mana while the other hand is casting healing. Leveling two schools of magic at the same time.

Skyrim is just Oblivion with gameplay tweaks because you've played it and know what they've done/ Apparently small gameplay tweaks includes introducing for the first time monster that are bigger than an ogre or having sweeping terrain or building an entirely new engine. Small tweaks.

going from $77 in mid 2007 to about $19.70 as of today is a massive drop, shareholders may not know games but they can influence how the company operates when it's making economically unfeasible decisions.

with the way things are going, 5-10 years Nintendo could already be the next Sega. They're unwillingness to adapt and change to the markets like the other two who did try to copy motion controls because it was the it thing but at least they tried. Companies that tend to carry themselves like that suffer against the…

why are you using this as an argument? who said this is the only alternative? It's nonsense to say that shit because you have plenty of other games that are not first person shooters. Whereas Nintendo games do not change. The graphics change from system to system but it's the same games over and over. I like Mario, I…

Drop off in Eastern markets? I think its more of a dropoff in North American markets, "eastern" are still the same. This guy is lying. Doesn't want to give the competition any ammunition against them in the biggest (ie. lucrative) market.

I have a problem finding these kind of games fun anymore, I feel there isn't enough challenge to make the games make me want to keep playing but as I'm not a kid anymore, I find the cutesy aspects of Kirby to not suit my tastes like they did on the game boy. I can't comment on whether the game is good or bad but from…

which is pretty much never since its a first party game
