After reading the story, I stand corrected. If rockstar are telling their agents (or even out-sourced call centers) to abruptly hang up on callers, that's terrible. I get that they want to minimize call/wait times, but some formal acknowledgment that they are unable to help you and mutual agreement to terminate the call would have been better. Maybe have the agents just repeat that they have logged the issue, but are unable to help at this moment, apologize, ask if there is anything els...
Having been in a customer support job before(not for rock star, but for an ISP), I can say that the rep can choose to hang up on a caller IF the caller is abusive, uncooperative and belligerent on the phone. You as a customer service rep should always try to help but should be entitled to the most basic levels of human respect and dignity. If a customer became abusive, I was required to give them 3 warnings. If it continued, I was allowed to terminate the call without worry. The caller coul...

I'm surprised MSFT hasn't enacted their clause that allows them to prohibit a game be published for their console if that game is graphically superior on a competitor's console......if Activision is allowed to publish a visually inferior game for the XBONE, it could spell disaster for MSFT......serves MSFT right for trying to handcuff and strong-arm developers/publishers into watering down the playstation versions of games for the past few years.
The final paragraph says:
"When it came time to choose an overall winner, Car and Driver gave the edge to GT5 for its all-encompassing depth, calling it "peerlessly comprehensive," but also stated that they would "happily trade the 16 different Daihatsus that GT5 offers for more detailed tracks and a few more premium cars." They had much more praise for Forza 3, however:
While Forza 3 may not have GT5's scope, it feels the more ...
hands down.
you mean Sony Vaio laptops use Windows OS right?
But we get the point.
Vista anyone?
Said cars that are included in all of the Forza games come with the same body kits in all three iterations of the game.
Indeed, damage is a feature that was done since the first forza, but it hasn't really changed since i.e. it's still unrealistic.
I'll give you an example.
I was playing Forza 3, during a race, I messed up and rear-ended the car in front of me ever so slightly on the driver side rear bumper and smashed his tail lights. Somehow, the tail light on the pass...
Last time I checked, a good number of cars from Forza 1 and Forza 2 are also in Forza 3.
What are you implying?
This is the most level-headed comment I've heard from them in a while.
Kind of refreshing actually.
The level of hypocrisy and ignorance in your "essay" is astounding.
If you want to SIM a drive, you'll just hop into a car and go for a drive? I don't know about you, but most people don't have immediate access to the stable of cars and tracks offered in GT and Forza so they can't just "hop" into say a Bugatti and go for a drive. With the proper setup, one can come close to emulating the experiencing of driving a car like the Veyron.
See below:
That's got to be one of the most ignorant posts i've seen in a while.....NFSU....more "competitiveness" than GT? Are you kidding me? NFSU is an arcade racer...you can't compare GT to NFSU....apples to oranges man.
If you want to go that route, I can say mario kart is way more diverse than Forza....how bout that?
Oh and please elaborate on the qualitative verbiage you used to describe NSFU vs GT...that "competitiveness" you speak of. Was GT not challenging eno...
That's probably $499 Australian dollars (or whatever their currency is)
that's good enough for me.
How about RUF???
If I recall correctly, RUF was in all the previous GT games right?
I really hope you're being sarcastic
No Zune Videos - that's not a feature of PSN/XBL, but rather the PS3/360...and you can watch almost any type of xvid/dvix video, from any device on the PS3. You can actually store the video on the ps3 itself instead of streaming from a device/computer (although streaming from a PC is still an option as bot the PS3/360 are DLNA enabled).
No NetFlix - agreed, XBox/XBox live is "better" because of this "feature".
...
I can certainly see Apple charging an @rseload for their console.
I guess we agree to disagree....
The Camara ain't bad...it's really grown on me.
I hated it at first...but then slowly (ever since those damn commercials I tell ya) it began to grow on me...
not even the hennessey camaro???

I'm thankful for everything that I have thus far in my life. Thankful for loving and supportive family and friends throughout my life. Thankful for being alive and (relatively )healthy. Thankful for wonderful wife and my two super awesome kids, even though they cut into my gaming time, I wouldn't have it any other way and wouldn't trade that time with them for anything in the world. Thankful that I am able to live a comfortable life, not excessive, but comfortable. I have a d...
