More than 5,000 rounds of ammunition were used by police in the siege and the apartment building is so badly damaged that it could totally collapse.

I felt the same way after passing the basic rider course to get my motorcycle license.

You and everyone else learned “driving skills” for the first (and last) time at age fifteen. ...from someone almost qualified to teach high-school gym.

It is going to be terrible. Remember the communtiy choice sales on Steam. Same games won every sale. Games that had been on the daily the day before won the community choice the next day. So yeah, this is going to suck.

There are a few problems I foresee, from people trying to game the system to throwing temper tantrums when their games don't win. It could have some interesting repercussions on the Playstation community.

This can either be great or infuriating, and I'm not sure which I favor at the moment.

I can see it now:
“hey guys, you should vote for Axiom Verge, one of the best Metroid-y games in years!”
<fans vote for AC: Unity>
le sigh

Well at least we found the 1 VITA user left in the world.

You do, but not the rest of us. Like I said, a lot of PS4 owners don’t have a choice, and Sony’s under-delivering one of its key features. And it’s not a small percentage of people who aren’t happy about it either. With XBL promising better games as part of its service (that you get to keep even when the subscription…

On PS4, PS+ is mandatory for multiplayer access. Not only that, cloud storage is definitely a listed perk for paid subscription on Sony’s site. It’s definitely inadequate for what it’s charging, which evidently for me, is access to Sony’s server infrastructure.

I think something was lost in the HD translation.

Did you play the first Uncharted? Did you enjoy when you had to use the motion sensor in the PS3 controller to keep hero Nathan Drake balanced as he walked across a log?

The free market DID speak, and it resulted in GM being bankrupt...until the government decided to bail them out..

The one thing I can say immediately after reading:

Honestly I think publishers get the short end of the stick. Yes they do release games broken a lot of the time, I’m not defending that, but from their point of view a game has been in development for three years, they’ve spent a mid size movie budget on it and now the devs are are telling them that they need more…

It’s all about expectations. To borrow a phrase from my mother-in-law, “You teach people how to treat you.”

As I said, I wouldn’t mind paying a subscription service for backwards compatibility, but I’m not going to pay to rent individual games. I find it far more likely that PSNow collapses in its current format than if they put up a massive streaming library for people to play their old games, because that’s the kind of…

Yeah, a few hours isn’t so bad if you’ve got endless time on your hands, or if the service is free. But to pay for a service that could fail during your free time is just ridiculous. It’s nice that Sony gives out some free weeks of it to make up for the major outages, but there are plenty of small ones that happen too…

I should probably clarify a few things, sorry.
I do put a fair bit of blame of publishers and I think it’s deserved for a good number of them. But there are very few publishers that I actually dislike. Some of them make mistakes or do things I don’t agree with sometimes but I tend to judge that one act rather the whole…

Nowadays, AAA games can’t just be games. They have to bring something new to the table, mostly ‘cause that’s what most consumers demand. It’s exceedingly rare for a big budget game to not push the envelope in one form or another and just refine a tried and true formula. Because if they don’t they get shit on by the…
