Any takers? :(

I told him to call you!

I would but I have a Fable 2 session coming up :(

Eps, thankies to your friend for offering but the session space was taken first.

A fair few actually. But that's in retrospect...don't think that counts since I didn't actually pay that much for them

Come to think of it...I'd gladly pay $60 a game...right now we pay $80 for a new release!

When can we officially do a Nelson Muntz laugh on those who thought it would result in lower prices?

Now would be a good time.

I guess we'll be finding out soon where publishers draw the line on sales volume versus profit margin per sale.

Lower prices wouldn't be for new releases, but for lowering prices faster after it did release. We should be thankful thay next gen games are staying the same price.

You actually think those prices will come down faster? *snort*

Possibly. We'll see.

I don't see how we should be happy prices stay the same this gen. Xbox 360 games were the same price as NES games. And cheaper than some SNES games

Newsflash, still not getting games for free. Games will be priced to sell based on age, demand, target market, etc. Why is this stuff so hard to understand?

Keep in mind that disc production costs are nominal, and most of the supply chain cost is borne by the retailer.

We should be happy because games are getting more expensive to produce.

To the " how many of those games you'd pay $60 for" I go by a rule i made. It's worth one dollar per hour of enjoyment i've gotten from it.

'More expensive to produce' is a result of the game companies chasing the graphics dragon. It's a bed of their own making. I feel zero sympathy for that.

Especially when guys like CliffyB use the ballooning budgets as a reason to clamp down on used & rental games.

We as a consumer demand it now though. Personally I don't care as much about graphics I just want a game to be fun, but how many sales will a game get if it looks like a

Ps2 game? Most people I know wouldn't give it a chance.

Really Travis Jarvis? You can't see beyond that? We can demand all we want. If developers had all said that better graphics wouldn't have been possible we would still be

buying "ugly" games and call them gorgeous. It's because they competed with each other that graphics made the leaps they did

'We as a consumer demanded it'? Funny, I sure as fuck didn't demand it. If anything, I demanded better stories, better writing, better mechanics. Better graphics? Nope.

Calm down, brah. I addressed that in my post that not everyone wants it. The majority do though. I'm not trying to start a fight here. I'm just explaining my view on it.

@Uden, i can't really get behind your logic, man. I for one am glad the companies competed to produce a good product. They could have also told us that it would be

impossible to make a game like skyrim where some gamers (myself included) have put hundreds of hours into it.

I'm not saying it's a bad thing. Graphics sell, of course they are used to compete with each other. But graphics look awesome based on what you're used to

Remember Super Mario 64? That looked amazing! Look at it now, it looks like someone crapped on your tv The game hasn't changed, just what we're used to changed

Yeah, a friend and I were talking the other day about how good halo looked when it came out. Looks like shit now too, and that game didn't come out too long ago, lol.

That's kind of the point I was trying to make, if they hadn't made such huge leaps with graphics they could've produced games cheaper now and we would still be satisfied!

I want a horn that's like the one the Mask used - BIG AND LoUD! AWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOGAH!!!!!

I want a George Carlin sound effect horn.

I want a car horn that sounds lika a car horn :(

I want the Ghostbuster's siren.

Second write should be right, lol.

Also, to Cypriot I believe the proper way to phrase it would be fathers-in-law.

^I know. Just seeing if anyone would catch it.

Haha, I thought that was a possibility, but you never know. Those goddamn homophones will get the best of most people.

No one here is talking about gay people, Travis.

...can't tell if trolling...

Trolling.

Yeah, trolling is on by default. You can turn it off in the "settings" menu.

See, upon reading this it makes alot more sense now and i can see WHY they are doing it. Alas, if they only explaining it properly when the announced it

they would not be getting the backlash they are getting now. (sorry to but into your Feed Globalizer )

"We want to own the living room." Well, cool... feel free to move in and listen to everything in our lives.

Seriously, if people would just talk more like that instead of the way they talk at press conferences, half of the confusion that exists wouldn't have occurred.

That genuinely helped me feel a lot more comfortable with eventually getting the One.

Agree completely, guys. Feels like MS simply shit the entire bed on their PR, but have a good strategy. Xeno, you're totally welcome on the feed.

As I've been saying to most people. The Xbox One is going to do to your entertainment system that the iPhone did to the smartphone. Everyone will be trying to catch up!

Exactly the reason I don't watch press conferences. I've been around the block enough to know that the real details come out in the articles. Thanks for the link.

If they want to be as cool as Apple they'll need to fit shit batteries to the controllers that can't be replaced when the get fucked up!!

"Like"

wanna say too much about it because I don't wanna spoil anything for anyone. if you're like me then you wanna know as little as possible. All I'll say is that it's in the

fantasy genre. Here's a link to IMDb in case you want a little more info: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0457430/

Yes, I did. I enjoy Del Toro and I hope he goes through with Justice League Dark.

Great movie!

Great film - Del Toro dos amazing work IMO

Yup, great Movie. But his new Movie isnt that good, "Mama".

Hey guys I just heard of this multi-oscar winning movie and I was just wondering if anyone else did? :p Saw it, hated pretty much the entire thing. Go me.!

Yup :) pretty good

One of my favorite films.

Wow, this is shocking lol. I have never heard of this guy nor the movie. I didn't expect anyone to actually answer the question as I thought this was just some movie that

didn't get much notoriety. I had no idea the movie won any awards. I don't watch many movies, but I guess I'm more out of the loop than I thought I was lol. Reminds me of

when I was flipping through the channels one night as a kid. There was nothing on TV. I switch to a movie channel and saw a movie that piqued my interest. I ended up

watching the whole thing simply amazed. The next day I ask some friends at school if they'd ever heard of this movie called "Highlander" and I got lol'd at. Imma hafta

check out more of this Del Toro guy's work haha.

del Toro was especially incredible in Traffic, but he's good in everything. He was originally in talks to play the villain in Star Trek Into Darkness.

What an absolute shame that he passed on it.

I also really enjoyed his Hellboy movies. It's not for everyone but I liked it.

Jupiter when it's visible at night time. And all this was through the wide angle lens. I can get much better magnification with my other eyepieces. It was somewhat cloudy

tonight and everytime I found Saturn in a more powerful eyepiece I'd get clouds in the way. I also checked the moon out and that was pretty sweet too. The clarity was

amazing. Nice, crisp and detailed viewing. I could see craters inside of craters inside of craters (that's 3 times lol) and it looked like it was just a few hundred yrds

away looking through binos. Can't wait for Fall and a really clear night! /nerd yet again

This sounds awesome :O glad you're having fun with that telescope.

Damn man, you are making me want one!

^

I'm definitely having a blast with it haha. I've wanted one for so long, but was always intimidated by them and didn't know which to buy. This went on for years. Glad I

finally kicked meself in the arse and got one! Of course it's overcast with no chance at seeing anything tonight... the day after I see Saturn in all it's ringed glory

"the day after I see Saturn in all it is ringed glory" Way to go, Shiner...

Wait...what? Are you fucking kidding me? Where is a link?

http://news.yahoo.com/video-xbox-boss-issues-worst-possible-response-xbox-162037016.html

With video, even...

Thanks Weis. Wow, that guy is a fucking cock. I supported Microsoft blindly for so many years but with that he might as well be putting a PS4 in our hands. Thanks Don!

I just read that article before coming here ... real funny. What a smug douchebag.

Gotta wonder why they fired that one guy when what he said was basically true. Also, go check today's Penny Arcade. Hilarious.

I expressed more in my blog, but I think the issue is XB1 is really a next gen console where ps4 is an improved ps3.

I think Mattrick is right tbh, the x1 is a different product that isn't designed for people without internet.

^ +1

I agree. Which is why I'll be taking his advice. I do a ton of offline playing, so it'll be PS4 for me. Next gen games - no hoops to jump thru.

If they produced a proper game console, there wouldn't be any advice that needed taking.

Loved how they called a system that is reliant on authentication servers 'future proofed'.

Makes me wanna cry! There we go.....

aaaand that's why I'm going Sony. Grew up with a PS1 and PS2. Not sure why I ever switched. Please take me back, Sony. <3

There's no real information about it. If I knew the counter was off and it would eventually unlock I would keep going but I don't know if it's that or your save gets...

..bugged somehow. The worst part is there's an achievement for unlocking all other achievements. I might have to meet the requirements again for the others if this works

Ugh, that would really be horrible. :( I hope it's just a bad counter!

That stinks! That is an incredibly grindy game too.

10k calories isn't that much. I eat that daily

Dance lita dance

Guess I know what achievement is going to get the "buggy" flag...

D'oh! As for the "get all other achievements" achievement - I hope you kept a copy of your old save, because it might have let you unlock it once you've unglitched ...

... the problem achievement.

I marked it as Buggy a while ago I know in the end the exercise is good for me but I like the rewarding pop.

I have my old save on a USB since I only had 11/12 more classes to do. I might chance going back to it if the 10k and 20k achievements pop on my current save.

I'm obviously not going to switch back and forth just in case that causes a mess.
