EA being what they are now in place of what they claimed they were (and actually were for awhile) probably makes them irredeemable. The problem is that an entity has to WANT redemtion, and it's never EAsy.

KoF XIII. (Well that and not so occasionally flipping over to You Tube to blast "Love to hate you" by Erasure.) Pray for me. The joke's REALLY on SNK tho'. How can I fight ether when ether doesn't exist? HA! I win!

Wow. Just, wow. Thank you for saying EXACTLY what I think about Bioware which to me hasn't been any different than saying "EA" for awhile now. My pick for best story of the games I've played is a game a lot of people (for reasons unbeknownst to moi) don't like: Dues Ex Invisible War...

Lately I've been kinda' gettin' back to the roots. (Finding out folks are sponsoring local cash tourneys definitely helped with the memories tho'!) and getting more serious about Street Fighter which has always been a game I've loved casually. Along with Blazblue Continuum Shift Extend...

Talk about "Activation code: S.O.L."....

Yahtzee has a review show now? What happened to Zero Punctuation? I think Yahtzee himself has said on more than one occasion that his shows aren't reviews. I could be wrong. However if they are reviews than we disagree on many levels about many games. I think his "harshness" on a lot of...

"Us?" Whose us is this? Seriously don't think you talk for everyone when you don't even talk about what the game does right. Which is what? Well sell 1,000,000 copies for one and make it onto the EVO 2012 roster for another. You think that CAPCOMs marketing strategy is NEW?? When the...

Which is why I came here and what I'm trying to decide. Think about it. If I had bought it on release it would have cost $80 for everything. Now thanks to the "debacle" the price has already dropped and $60 is what everything would cost now. The price of a new game. I think I'm going to...

I've been getting various gamers opinions on this so I would like yours as s sorta' devil's advocate voice but all of the high level tournament types and most print that I've seen agree that gems will never be allowed at EVO. Why do you think they will?

Or the much less expletive ridden: "If you want to succeed as a merchant, never make you're rules according to what the bad guys do." An' seriously how are the "hackers" actions "unjustified and wrong."? Are you now telling me it's possible to steal something I OWN?? Do you REALLY want...

So by that logic if we really want to change the direction game marketing is going, instead of buying new games we should buy shares and attempt to influence the market that way? That might work if you had enough people investing in it like a mutual fund but with an agreed upon goal about why...

It gets painful to throw a fireball after an hour?? Seriously?? *blinks* So you're like what, 70?? This is worse than my friend who's ninjalike with everything else and then when I challenge him to some fighing gaming his excuse is arthritis. Who the hell ever heard of an arthritic...

Yeah Red Eyes but look on the bright side! Thanks to the mongolian clusterfunk that was the release and the inevitable fall out (I love you guys sometimes. Mostly when you save me money.) I can now buy this for $40 new! Which means the $20 download won't cost me a thing which is a net...

I take it you haven't heard about the gems yet then? That's about as pay for play as you get. It would be interesting to see games (at least fighting games) reviewed for their Mathematical balance. (That would be fun to figure out.) I'd really like to see that as I agree with the chess...

Weird AND proof that boobies (even implied) will sell ANYthing. (Well maybe not games that are actually GOOD but don't have the money to buy a decent review) I mean seriously, is anyone here going to tell me that they WANTED a game with the delicate tactical machinations of Q-Bert and the...
