I've never been to the Bay Area, but I've seen the prices on living there, and I think it's probably the worst time to buy-in for that area.

I think maybe the compromise on the subject of authority of complaints, like in many realms, revolves around how accurate it is, definitely more-so than the status of ownership or lack thereof, and I too would like to see a more wider range of points of view about the game.

Nice! Thank you!

The amount of hoaxes and the strong presence of desire for Fallout Next is approaching Half-Life 3 levels.

I get mad at the world some days too, after spending a handful of minutes reading articles, opinion pieces, and the wild abandon of the comments sections.

I have a similar feeling, as well I'm sure most do, when they tally up how long they've been living in their respective 'homes.'

Are you a long-time native resident, or a transplant? Most of the people I knew were not from around there.

Yeah, I didn't have much use for the boats either, beyond occasionally grand thefting one.

haha.

... something something Batman Dark Knight sticking around long enough to switch from hero to villain, paraphrased!

Same here.

A lot of these GTA games seem to have way less traffic than what you would find on the IRL streets of their inspirations.

I thought it was pretty cool that they figured out how to max out the last gen capabilities by loading and running it from both the disc and the hard drive.

I like SR4, but I got side-tracked with a heaping plate of Civ 5 in the recent months, to where I've put it on hiatus, but not for the usual reason that I was not enjoying myself with the game.

I don't know too many people who are secretly wishing to become less sophisticated, but you're on the right track with some cases of derision.

True.

He's not wrong, in the sense that the pubs are only looking at the initial returns, from said box office, as far as the decisions are made for greenlighting 'nexts.'

Given Archaotic's detail in the response, I'd err on the side that generally believes that Archaotic knows that not all CoD-players are "Dew-swilling, Dorito-munching dudebros."

You're right. The film companies definitely obfuscate their numbers, but not to the same degree as the gaming industry.

I like that analogy. Especially since some games feel like they're metaphors for poisoning my enjoyment, based on some of their unfortunate mechanics.
