The expansion pass is included. It covers 2 expansions, which has story missions, co-op maps, and multiplayer maps. Costs $35 otherwise (or $20 each).

Too bad there's no hard drives that can write data anywhere near that fast.

They're required to fulfill all pledges (or refund money). That's it. Which he plans on doing.

Neat. It's probably been 15 years since I played it, so that was just from the recesses of my (fuzzy) memory.

The main thing I remember about the game (other than the fact that I really liked it and no one else seemed to) is the story/game progression. If I remember correctly, there was a hidden "score" that increased every time you completed a side mission or quest, and as this score got higher, enemies got harder, and once…

Depends on what you mean by "critical". You can "complete" the missions, but Destiny isn't really designed to be "completed". That's where the MMO elements come in. If you want to participate in any type of endgame, you're going to have to work with other players.

Yeah, this is correct. Should have clarified. You can play single player, but there's still going to be other players in your world running around doing stuff.

The story missions can be done in single-player. Strikes and raids must be done with 3 and 6 players, respectively.

There's always this from the good ol' days:

Technically, she woke up, smelt something, ignored it, and went back to sleep. So...notsomuch.

And people said we couldn't revive Leo, either. And they were wrong. All wrong!

Only chat is fireteam chat. In strikes, that's a fine system. Or if you've set a time with your friends to play. Otherwise, not so much. No chat at all in Crucible or Iron Banner mode. And if you're doing a mission, you have to invite random people to your fireteam (limited to 2 other players) just to chat with…

Was excited for Sacred 3 until I saw the direction they were taking it (primarily the fact that there's no loot). Now I have no interest in it whatsoever. There's not anything on the horizon for me until Diablo and Tales of Xillia 2 on the 19th.

It's not like the developers are saying these things are the worst thing in the world. I don't even think they're saying they're "bad". It's just a lighthearted poking fun at what they probably think is mostly harmless material. The creators of Scary Movie probably don't think horror films are inherently bad. But…

I don't necessarily agree. A game can make fun of, and even disparage certain things, and still include them in the game. I mean, there is still fanservice in this game, and for good reason — it appeals to a large portion of their intended audience. Take the game DLC Quest for example. The game was basically made…

Let us not forget about this one:

Isn't much better on TV nowadays:

Had a friend on Goldeneye that had mastered running around all the levels after capturing the flag (or whatever the object was) while looking straight down at the floor. Would go through those fake walls in some levels, and just sit there while we all tried to figure out where he went.

You're awesome. Just snagged it, and downloading now. Definitely been piquing my interest over the last few days.

Other than Pokemon, are there other handheld games coming in Nov? I wouldn't really consider console releases as competitors to handhelds.
