I agree with that, at least. Considering that PCs are constantly evolving, it would have been better for Sony to wait until after PCs were running parallel software programming, before betting on the new architecture.

PS3 is an order of magnitude more difficult to program for compared to the Xbox 360. A lot of developers have had to come up with workarounds to get a multi-platform game to behave properly on the Playstation platform. This is indicative of a problem with the PlayStation 3's architecture, as well as the train of…

I am not going to blame Platinum. I blame Sony's shitty, ass-backwards thinking when it comes to building and designing a console.

Microsoft's service to have your Xbox 360 repaired/replaced out-of-warranty is around $99. Cheaper than shelling out $150. Takes a few more steps though.

You do know that in some cases of redring, Microsoft just sends you a replacement unit that they've refurbished themselves, right?

Agreed. I had a 360 that was one of the early production models (first year of release), and it lasted 7 years before finally red-ringing on me during Deus Ex: Human Revolution. I still have it, as I plan to send it to Microsoft for an out-of-warranty repair service. Cheaper to do than paying $150 out the nose for a…

I lament the fact that we have mouth-breathing idiots for human beings. They have completely lost the capacity to utilize critical thinking skills.

Again another uninformed comment. We're talking a total environment redesign, a game engine rewrite, and a server system rewrite. Did you really expect it all to happen in six months?

You're being a pessimist. What Square is doing is basically unprecedented. Game initially fails hard, Square makes amends by giving free access while they reshuffle dev team. They proceed to rebuild the game - this isn't just a graphical reoptimization or gameplay fix. They are rebuilding the game from the server up.…

$5,000 is actually the average for a four-person home for a full family.

You mean, like this? Granted, not as much gameplay, but everything is in-engine.

There's a problem with the trailer - quite a few stutters. I think there's been a problem on the encoding side during upload, or before. Square will probably address it eventually.

Oh my god. This needs to be made into an "X-Wing" series. I mean, like, from the books. The book series.

Because some parts of HL1 could not be replicated in HL2 without another massive investment of time and energy.

This is precisely what I felt. I've been sick with grief all day. I never met the guy, I don't know the guy, but I used to play EVE online, and I remember talking to him at least once - don't know what was discussed, but he came across as a logical person.

Sure, let's take characters from two fairly tired online franchises and put them together in one scene. I'll take a pass, thanks.

The comparison is that Ubisoft is a bunch of tea-sipping pansies that don't understand the mentalities of pirates, and therefore will do whatever they can to smother the "threat". In other words, just like what the Nazis did - they didn't understand the Jews, so they wanted to wipe them out.

Well, if we're going to run the risk of Godwin's Law in the first place, may as well nail it to the wall and fuck it in the ear before anybody gets to comment, hmm?

To be honest, this was anticipated considering the market and how Korean MMOs are something of a niche.

I cannot disagree with you. I wonder why they haven't bothered to do a nighttime pack yet...
