I agree in not a few ways. Mass Effect has been (for me) one of the funnest play through of this decade. Graphics, game play, writing, and even the soundtrack had depth. A fairly open ended game as well considering it has some of the vitals of a shooter.

And what about the cool people you run into in the meantime? Give it up. XBox live is superior.

Your gradient may be true to the general public, i don't know; but I can tell you that concerning myself and my brothers and immediate friends, it's not. We thoroughly examine a game before we make a purchase. The only way we don't is if the purchase is cheaper than a rental. As far as buying games new, doesn't happen. And I think I'm speaking for a lot of people on this. New games are a risky buy unless you've played it at a friend house or etc. and you know that you want it. The industry is more like that now than ever before. Basically I don't agree. I think people are realizing that many of the titles are just spam. Which makes sense because many of them are.

Some of the developers may realize it but the companies producing the games sure don't seem to. The tech today allows for many, many, many more possibilities for a game than 10 or 12 years ago. The idea-mill should be in overdrive.

This. Basically this. The people creating games need to get creative about player feed back. They just aren't asking us what we want most of the time. They're just spamming games trying to make a profit. I especially agree with the notion that no one has attempted a Smash Bros. picturesque multiplayer style fighting game. (In my opinion Square Enix could easily pull it off) The zombies: Seriously. Reign is right. Some people might like zombies in ever damn game they play -- To each their own. Some of us on the other hand don't. Can't we fight a normal and/or original enemy for a fucking change? Killing Geth in 'Mass Effect' was awesome good clean fun. Hey, Gaming Industry! Stop thinking solely about getting another dollar and asks the gamers what they're into. I so rarely find a title I'm interested in anymore and just in case you think I've given up the hobby, think again. I'm just going back to the good stuff that has replay and things like Ninja Gaiden Sigma on the PS3.

Bias fuck... lol PS3 has it's disadvantages all the same. Plus it's more pricey. Can't argue with the blue ray ability though. Edit: Btw; I completely agree that the PS3 and XBox crush the Wii. The Wii just isn't my style of gaming.

Glad you found us. Spread the word. By the way... you know it's mandatory to mail djp a 12 pack of high quality beer when you join the community right? No...really it's true. He has a couple warehouses full already and he gets drunk off his ass every night trying to get rid of it all.

I'm not a musician but I have to say A. The forums have greatly increased my vocabulary and sentence structure/fluency.

Good point -- But have you seen NGII. It's far and away the most graphic violence in a video game I've ever seen. In fact I would speculate part of the reason they are reducing the amount of blood is because in some parts of the game there was so much of it that it lagged the X Box.

This. Just this..

I'm not a huge fan of over the top blood and gore in video games per say, however; I agree that it has a strange appeal in Ninja Gaiden II and I'm a huge fan of the game. As long as the dynamics of Ryu's viciousness aren't altered by the blue essence (rather than the blood) I think it will be a positive change. In any case I'm anticipating Sigma II earnestly.

Final Fight was and is awesome. Someone ought to do an HD remake of it.

No way. You can play the new remastered version on the 360 for a cheap priced download and it owns the old version pretty hard.

Well said Coop. Very well said, and my sentiments are quite similar.

What Bahamut and Fishy said.

Yes you do. This post proves it.

I'm pretty sure that was a compliment as all of your remixes are absolutely spectacular.

Kate Voegele. It's chic music...And I like it.

Have to say "Heal The World" gave me chills the first time I heard it. I don't know if he wrote it but he did a spectacular job singing it.

I don't think that was even his intention. Anyhow, at least spell your own user name correctly.

An entertainer died. We should reflect on it perhaps. The media shouldn't. At least not for more than 1 day.

We can't be certain because in reality we don't know you, but yes. If you're 16 years old there is a very very good chance you're an idiot.

Minority Report was mediocre and I couldn't finish Crystal Skull. Or course I'm just one guy.

Of course I want the link.

I have a Canon Rebel that is a model or two old. I think you'll like one of those quite nicely. They take awesome pictures.
