Sadly, if it's anything like most other online Japanese titles, you can expect the net code to be barely functional. I'm looking at you, Culdcept Saga!

@PaaatrickBabyBoy: Is this before or after some pretentious college dropout with a superiority complex presents himself to you as a "genius"?

Congrats, Spoony! And good luck!

@Aglet: When Microsoft introduces an issue with their patches, they will roll out a fix before the next update (though the only issue I can really think of was a local exploit to run unsigned code). They've had an excellent track record of stable, reliable updates, and you can tell that they use their long cycle for…

To be honest, Kaz is setting him up for a historical comparison that he just isn't going to like. Where's the N64? Nowhere. But the NES and the SNES had long lifespans too. Does that make the PS3 like the N64? Maybe.

I agree heartily that the music is wholly inappropriate. And on top of that, it wrecked the whole meta-funny aspect of his choice of tunes.

"Chewbacca in the kitchen" sounds like some crazy sex move. Not sure I wanna know what it'd entail, though.

@Aitrus233: You forgot The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay.

Wait, I thought 3D Realms was pretty much the same company as Apogee, just rebranded. So this is just a re-rebranding (hehe re-re). Not really big news, though hearing the Apogee logo fanfare again would warm my cockles. They've been oh so cold as of late.

That lady will never roll in EnigmaNemesis' Mercedes.

The way he's gripping the controller in that photo looks vaguely masturbatory.

@Antiterra: Get your history straight. Bushnell was forced out of Atari in 1978, well before the crash in 1983.

@Foxstar Sixtail: That's a possibility, and one that I'd love to see, but I don't know how likely it is. Back during the 80's video game boom, pretty much everyone and their dog put out games for the Atari VCS, and the vast majority of those titles were terrible. Eventually customers got fed up, and you know what…

@Silverwolf, Foxstar Sixtail: You're both acting like idiots. Now stop arguing.

@mlubczyn: But, as discussed in the video, the only company who seems to have much success on the Wii is Nintendo. The Wii has a so-so attach rate, and I'm willing to bet that the majority of those games sold are Nintendo published. I only own one third-party Wii title, myself (Zack and Wiki), and I'm definitely part…

@mlubczyn: If that's the case, then were are these "3rd party AAA games"? I can count the number of good 3rd-party Wii exclusives on my fingers (most of them by Capcom), and very few of them have sold particularly well. The fact of the matter is that the Wii is seen by most companies as an excuse to throw production…

@CanaryWundaboy: It's been several months since I've played, so my recollection might be a bit off, but I played it quite a lot. To be honest, your post screams of one of those asshats who triple downs someone with AR in Execution because he lacks the skill to make a headshot.

I hope they tone down the sniper rifle a little bit in Gears 2. The ability to instant down someone from across the map in the original turned out to be way too good, headshots are bad enough, you don't need to give an instant kill for pegging someone in the leg. Also, the rifle's melee was easily the best in the…

@Atheist Jew: I'm not saying that what they did wasn't wrong, or that they were unaware that it was illegal. I'm just saying that I don't think they were wringing their hands and laughing maniacally as they awaited their dump trucks full of money. That just ain't gonna happen with an adventure game.

The 2nd and 3rd Prince of Persia titles sold fewer copies than the original for once simple reason: they weren't as good. The plots lacked the fun and flair of the original, and it was clear that they were rushed to market to meet the holiday rush. Warrior Within is one of the buggiest games I've ever played. I'm…
