I love the A-10, such a badass machine. Definitely my favorite. First model I ever built too, even if I did a horrible job at it.

Yeah we need more stories about LeBron James or Brady's haircuts.

I'd add too the ability to actually get some upgrades or aesthetics outside of the transactions as well, where the game doesn't feel like a bare bones version or demo unless you're willing to start dropping money.

There's a difference though between just progressing and grinding. Grinding generally isn't very entertaining and appeals more to the compulsive aspects of our personalities.

I didn't find they changed enough to justify $60 annually. At that point the game becomes more of a membership than anything.

Thanks all for explaining it.

My 360 is still out for a repair so I've yet to be able to play my copy of GTA.

At a certain point I guess they were able to address it with refurbished products at least. My original 360 purchased in February 2008 got RROD'd in February 2009. The replacement had a disc drive failure a month later, but the replacement for that is still going strong 4.5 years later.

From what I can tell it seems to be that people are just trying to parent like they wish they were parented, but I'm not sure why, or why now. It's a rather immature way to look at it, since you'd hope by the time someone is themselves raising a child they'd better understand why their parents made the decisions they…

Amazon? If I had to have a unwanted 20-minute conversation every time I went to a specific store, I couldn't take it.

I'd agree the "legacy edition" marketing bullshit with this case of FIFA is definitely worse, however EA Sports games have long been criticized as just generally being roster updates so my point is still relevant. This time it's just far more literal.

At least he didn't get Jack Black to hold it. Or maybe he should've.

Yet you clicked on and commented?

Opinions. People have them.

That's interesting. Don't you find it easier to be able to see an app's data quickly via the home screen than to have to go to and open up an app, in the same way that you can see data via Rainmeter as opposed to opening up a browser?

The negative press is largely just confirmation bias, which detracts the discussion from anything that's too controversial, be it guns, poverty, or people simply having kids they can't afford. Those types of issues are incredibly controversial and polarizing, so it's a lot easier to just say "blame GTA" or "blame…

Reminds me of two growing trends these days. I mean both have long been around but seem to be gaining a lot of momentum the last decade. They are:

I guess you didn't get to the end of the article.

But there's always a context. Why is a parent looking at the guidelines and choosing to ignore them? If this was a movie, would they let their kid watch it?

Just go to Best Buy or something instead of Gamestop/EB. It's not like the latter is some Mom and Pop store that doesn't exploit customers with their used games racket. At a store like Best Buy only the dude in the actual game section ever seems to know anything about games and you don't need to talk to anyone in that…
