@Madness: I think they did say it would be more difficult to develop for but figured since they were the king of the hill for the last 2 console generations that devs would just suck it up and soldier on. It's an issue w/ sony in just about every division they have. They're fucking arrogant. One time a sony sales…

@shouryuuken: hey i'm a huge fan of Nas too but you can't exactly shit on Rush's lyrics either.

Either you keep things low cost w/ short game length and perhaps spotty quality. Or you ramp up the cost for longer games with better production value. Do i think all expensive games are intrinsically better than cheaper ones? No. Do I think that the allure of making more money on your game by charging more could…

i have no problem paying 1800 for castle crashers if it's a decent length. Guardian Hero's is one of my favorite all time games, anything in that vein is alright w/ me.

what i'd like them to do (but they'll never do) is release a definitive version of madden. Then put madden on a 5 year development cycle. We pay a (small) annual fee for constant roster updates like once a month or something. If madden's on a 5 year dev cycle then each new version might actually be worth buying. …

Tool AND comfortably numb??????? I smell a fake list.

@Fatmumuhomer: 100% agreement from me. Asian culture in general is insular and xenophobic. And lest i be called some sort of racist, i'm an asian who has actually lived in asia.

bah a brawler??? Maybe if it's the minutemen instead of the main story it'll be ok.... who am i kidding it'll probably suck.

wow i love my 360 but i absolutely hate this avatar thing. Out of curiosity though. They mentioned being able to form parties and jump from content to games. So now xbox live will finally have rich party support built into live itself? Like could i form a party then we all jump into rainbow6 as one team?

wow you guys are seriously jaded. Total war was an awesome strategy series. So i'm hoping this is pretty good also.

@Vots: holy crap you're right. So the only difference is the commissioner tools and perpetual league stats? Hardly seems worth the $130 :-/.

@drbutchevil: Live stats are also a premium on ESPN and cbssportsline. In fact if u can find a real time stat tracker that's free i'd be surprised. I think people just jump the gun w/ hating EA. Especially when it looks pretty evident not a lot of people here have ever played fantasy football.

So i don't get it. If you pay $10 now is it deducted from the final price of the game as fpunzi said? If that's the case then what's the big deal? People gladly paid $40 for gta5 prologue and to me that's a freaking demo. Albeit a huge and beautiful demo... but still a demo.

am i the only one who thinks 'infinite undiscovery' is just a stupid name?

that is fucking blasphemy.

i really liked the 2006 look. It still looks awesome, just kind of bland and washed out at the same time. Much less dramatic shadows.

@InsidiousTuna: Not everything in baltimore sucks. Crab cake and pit beef alone brings bmore a step above complete suck. Not to mention one of the best art schools in the country and probably the most prestigious medical institution. Oh and cheap and available narcotics! heh j/k

@Dan Zuccarelli: hey i used the patch too. Was great until time came to get off the patch. Anyways, best of luck Fahey.

Good luck with the quitting Fahey. I just passed the 2 month mark and STILL get freaking cravings. I find cleaning and exercise help me the most. It's different for everyone though.

Surprisingly civil discussion about it. I think most 360 owners that played Bioshock just recognize that it's a great game that everyone should get to play.
