Agreed, I've actually just been playing this until GTA comes out as I picked it up in a Steam sale and never got around to it.

Deleted (repeated post).

Right, but I built my PC myself and on a budget last year, and it's not even a gaming PC and ran $800-900. It doesn't even meet all the recommended specs for BF4.

Call of Doody 2: On the Runs. This time it's personal.

It's also not actually Los Angeles or California. While based on it, there are lots of things people could nit pick over not being just like the inspiration. GTAIV was no different.

He'll get a spin-off called Call of Doody.

It's usually apples to oranges but the strongly pro-PC crowd will rarely accept that.

Instead they should ignore the current version of their product and cater to previous editions? In what world would that make sense?

That's using logic. This is 2013! You should have no excuses for not having unlimited bandwidth (even if it means horrible speeds) and should be embracing the download-only future! Physical copies are for the 90s!

After a few years playing FPS on consoles because my PC sucked, I went back when I finally got a new one and picked up BF3 for $10.

I feel like this is some kind of weird generational anachronism. There's so many inconsistencies.

I guess, appearing being a cool westerner appeals to them, but not actually learning English, so you they can avoid looking like an idiot to a real westerner.

Xbox 360, with at least NHL 10 and 12. I can't remember if NHL 08 or Madden 09 supported it as well. (Those 4 titles are the only EA Sports games I've owned for 360.)

That's a good point, and was the primary reason I cancelled the service. It was really nice with Kinect, but it's only application was basically as background music. If you wanted to listen to an album while playing a game, you were out of luck.

My favorite integration of custom soundtracks has been in NHL, where you can literally customize every song in the game, from any team's goal song, music that plays when your team is on the power play, menus, intermissions, etc.

I had Xbox Music and used it in the same way and it definitely surprised some people.

Yeah you said it better and shorter. At least, that was the point I was trying to make, that while the FPS games aren't all inclusive with the initial $60, they are still far better models than the freemium ones.

There's a difference though between pre-made DLC, or the "membership" models.

The DBZ expansion was also heavily overpowered, especially with some of the promo cards I had. The foils were pretty nice though.

I'm sure the context factored in here, where it's not just that the exclusive deal is preventing other NFL-licensed games (though it is), but that when the deal originated it shut down a better-selling, better-received competing product which was also offered at a better selling point.
