"Plus, Defiance has proven that video games and televisions can have a successful marriage without actually stepping on each other's toes."
Except for the part where the show is terrible and the game is going to be another all but forgotten mmo by the end of summer I suppose.
Yeah no, you can't sell beta accounts for sure and you can be banned if you sell MMO game accounts in general.
Sure it will.
Just like this gen where you can either say the 360 barely finished ahead of the PS3 in spite of a year head start or actually finished behind the PS3 in spite of a year head start.
And this doesn't even include the fact that Sony botched the PS3 launch, giving 360 another advantage.
This is EA we're talking about. They are doing it for one reason and one reason only.
'Hey, we can use this as an excuse... Let's do it...'
As a former WoW player I keep looking for 'something new' to play and I keep getting let down. I even went back for Mists after skipping Cataclysm completely...
Wore out the dungeons just getting to 90 and realized the only thing left was the dungeons I'd already worn out getting there...
They really need to do something that makes WoW new and exciting or they're going to keep bleeding subs.
To be fair, and I'm not fan of blizzard.
They don't have time to investigate every claim made by players and judge in a fair fashion. In WoW, it might be a tiny bit different thanks to the subscription fee but they're not going to hire the dozens of 24/7 employees it would take to reasonably do what you're asking for all players.
This is a very specific thing that affects almost all players, even those who didn't do the exploit even by acc...
Feel free to be pissed. Avid Dark Souls player, avid JRPG player, I have access to a Vita. The demo bored me and I never looked back. I'd be surprised if it reaches your lofty goal.
Oh what a relief. With all the 'negative effects of sports' stories lately I was worried that the media might actually have to admit sports culture is something other than the purest holy water from the holiest mountain and hand selected by the most virtuous soul in history.
Now they have a good 'video gamer flips his s***' story to do instead. That was close.
One thing I've always noticed about people who pirate games all the time is that they will almost without exception talk about how a game 'sucks'.
When you pay for nothing you appreciate nothing.
We've entered a pretty sorry state if the deciding factor is a new COD game. The best thing that could possibly happen to gaming right now would be a severe cut back on the number of FPS games.
Seriously, give them a rest already.
Microsoft being unable to compete and just smothering everything with money predates the word "Xbox".
After all, the definition of Windows 95?
'Windows 95/98, (n): 32 bit extension and a graphical shell for a 16 bit patch to an 8 bit operating system originally coded for a 4 bit microprossessor, written by a 2 bit company that can't stand 1 bit of competition. '
I'll say it again.
Trailers that do not consist of uninterrupted game play are largely useless.
Another MMO failure that will be forgotten.
Uninterrupted game play or trailer is useless.
Nintendo has nothing to show and that's the only reason they are not taking the stage.
Okay we'll say you're right. That simply means that instead of finishing 3rd in spite of having every advantage in the world they finished just barely ahead of 3rd in spite of having every advantage in the world.
That makes it better. Really.
Somebody doesn't understand how it works.
It is almost never the case that a 'small vocal minority' is what you hear but rather for every person who spoke out about how unhappy they were, there were ten more than just didn't bother.
Sure, they've nothing to fear from Sony.
Microsoft only launched a year sooner and then got a huge advantage when Sony screwed up the PS3 launch...
And they still finished this generation last place.
Yes it is.
Unfortunately.
Oh so that's what they're doing instead of improving and fixing what they already have.
