Is this stupid webgramme still running? Good lord, it's not funny anymore.
Of course, this is the type of drivel that the Escapist has been putting out in recent years. It's a garbage web publication that has apparently debased itself to the point of having to write sensationalist crap that has no real basis in fact. The writer needs to broaden his horizons a bit more, not base his claim that the game is "soulless" on ONE experience.
How sad and pathetic can people get? All for the hits, I guess.
Doubt it. Seems like a placeholder date, to me.
This is all a load of crap.
Angry Birds the next Super Mario? I doubt it. Not even close. If anything, it's a passing fad, a gaming trend for people who really enjoy casual games.
Let's resume this conversation 25 years from now. I guarantee that Angry Birds will be well forgotten by that point, though Mario will still be alive and kicking...
Indeed, what a horribly uninformative review... and oh, so timely!
Notice they used an uncommon "sexy pic"...
Go to any convention and you'll see tons of other women who make make that outfit vomit-worthy...
And even a few guys...
Incredible. That list was truly insightful, filled with characters who are well past their prime.
Oh, wait a second.
My mistake, that list was total garbage and whoever wrote it should be punched in the face. Horrible writing (and I'm being kind here) and what the Hell is up with your formating? That this was ever approved REALLY shocks me. Honestly, that site is worse than Galaxynextdoor...
Sad and pathetic, folks. Sad and pathetic.
I don't think it would be all that much extra to have SOME kind of onboard memory - I mean, to get a measly 32GB is going to cost us an additional hundred bucks, so honestly? Do you really think adding 64 GB would be a huge deal?
Hell, I'd have settled for 16 GB, considering the stupid GO had that...
To be honest, I just didn't want to drop the cash. However, the price is right and I can enjoy the back library pretty inexpensively, to boot!
So...
I can now get a PS3 / Blu Ray player, 320GB HD and a game for the same price as a Vita?
I think I might cancel my preorder and pick this up instead. I want a Vita, but this is a WAY better deal...
Look, I understand your points. I used to work for Gamestop, so I'm aware of the reasons for most of their practices. In this case, however, they've crossed a line.
It's the fact that they'd willingly remove the contents from a game YOU pre-ordered and then selling it to you. I don't care if it's extra DLC or OnLive - it was still intended to come with the game and they removed it. That's not right, regardless of how they "make it up yo you".
They're offering a GIFT CARD that can only be spent at THEIR STORE. Seriously, what the *&^% kind of apology is that?
Frankly, Gamestop should be boycotted and people should stop allowing companies to pull this crap. Fact of the matter is that they OPENED a sealed copy of a PRE-PURCHASED game and removed contents that they deemed out of line. I've always vehemently argued that Gamestop's policy of selling open items as NEW is bull, but to remove contents (even...
Good lord that article was wholly unreadable.
Pachter is an industry embarrassment, as well as a card carrying moron.
I wish all talk of him would cease. He's like a cancer...
I'll be happy once they enable ANY of my credit/debit cards to work like they used to...
Again, another horribly written, "doom and gloom" styled article regarding the demise of the handheld market...
Seriously, I wish sites like this would just shut down. Terrible writing, misinformation, and worthless articles like this really irritate me.
Wow, if this piece is representative of this site's writing, I can honestly say it's a place to avoid. It's worse than Galaxynextdoor.com and that's saying something...
That having been said, the article is filled with some of the worst opinions I've ever had the misfortune to read. This writer has no clue what it is they're talking about, having never even played a 3DS and not understanding the concept of a price drop.
Honestly, STAY ...
Honestly, no, I don't think it would be something that would sell easily. Especially in the United States where first person shooters are king. Yes, we're talking "big names" in the RPG world, but again - I don't think the overall interest level is there anymore. It's not a dead market, per se, but I just don't think that the American market could sustain enough sales for these games to remain profitable enough to have a reasonable rate of return.
Honestly, I get more angry when "Game Journalists" lie...
