Not a bad counterpoint, and I appreciate you were able to convey it without resorting to insulting me for my opinions, so thank you.

Well, I am decently happy about some portions. Other aspects are annoying.

Completely different market and completely different product. Books aren't software and thus you can't draw a line between a physically based product and a digital one, at least in terms of how rights management and ownership are dictated. When you buy a book, you aren't signing a legal agreement. Yet typically

Way to make an assumption. I'm a college student working minimum wage while going to school full time. I pay upfront for books, materials, and food out of my own pocket.

Never implied that all - where exactly do I say anything remotely like that?

If I'm a troll, why even bother responding to me?

One time online activation to validate the copy of the game, then online isn't required. At least that is how they are presenting it. Still screws over our military (not just men) and those in rural areas, but it isn't "always online."

How is that any different than computer games that required 1 time authorization codes? I don't get the uproar - this has been the standard practice for PC gaming for years.

I think you're wrong. Microsoft's internal data shows more users are using the Xbox as a streaming device for Netflix, as well as Hulu and HBO Plus, more so than for gaming. I know that this is true for myself. For every hour I spend a week gaming, I probably spend at least 2 or 3 in another application on my Xbox.

It can be yours for the low, low price of $1,000!

Spoken like someone who has no idea what they're talking about!

Get ready to have your mind blown...because that other commenter....WAS ME.

Well, people are entitled to their opinions. I think most critics would consider The Wire and even The Sopranos to be better, based on "Top 10" lists I've seen before.

Most people consider The Wire to be the best of the three, so I don't know why you'd assume that.

I think the real events are handled well, but have become a crutch for the show. They use them in an emotionally manipulative manner to entrap the viewer in their own nostalgia for the time period.

The last episode was one of the better episodes. Mad Men is by far one of the best shows on TV, but it does have some very specific flaws. One of them is a lack of character development.

Interesting. I agree that Breaking Bad is, by design, a different style of show. The Wire and Mad Men are serious dramas with moments of comedy. Breaking Bad is a black comedy with moments of drama. It's apples and oranges, really.

Inconsistent in what way?

I haven't played Dead Island. I played the first two Call of Juarez games, that's it.

You have greatly enjoyed their games, but the majority of responses have been tepid.
