No I don't, because if I want to see a movie I'm doing so with the understanding of what the medium is and I know it's only going to be 2 hours. If that's not enough time consumption to satisfy me, then I'm not in the mood for a movie. If I'm in the mood for a big movie watching session that...

None of it can be simplified the way you're doing it. You can't compare money to hour ratios across different mediums. A 20 hour blu-ray movie for 30 dollars wouldn't be a better "value" than a 20 hour video game for 60 dollars, because there is no value in a 20 hour movie, just a horrible and...

No, it hasn't. That's an inaccurate description of what the article says and the article's interpretation of the ruling in relation to used games is equally inaccurate. http://www.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/opinions/2010/09/10/09-35969.pdf Autodesk distributes Release 14 pursuant to a...

What system is that, the Zune?

I think you misread something somewhere.

Wait, WHY are you getting it for free?

La Noire is 3 disk. What cost and general annoyance are you referring to? It's not more than 30 dollars to make a blu-ray disk, it's several times less.

I don't mind a little bit of cutscenes but if you're going to have them, make them scripted events using the game's engine, not pre-rendered movies that don't match the source content. I mean movies that either use higher quality models and lighting that doesn't match the game or high...

Is it so important now to be original that we're going to call copycat at the notion of two consoles using the same disc medium?

"in the long-run" I wonder what they mean by this.

Yes, very much so. Here's the problem with this. Software, not just games, but any software that has a development cycle worth a damn, includes post release support for things like patches. The money coming in from the sales or a set aside budget should take care of this. DLC is already its...

I don't think people buy games called Neverwinter Nights 2 expecting explosions. I think most of your criticism comes from fans of the first game and its expansions, which were not explosion heavy games. 6 months is a lot of time to get a game in working order, which would not describe how it...

Maybe the real downfall of the Protheans was illiteracy.

An online argument I had after a Pokemon battle in SS soured my entire perception of the franchise and will probably never buy another Pokemon game. It was more of a "oh god what have I become" revelation, so it's probably for the best but still kind of dumb.

Argue better. Let's establish the points You did say "Ok, yes, some developers might remove content to sell as DLC later, but it's a very small number." and later admitted you didn't actually know how many do it. I'll admit, it was a bit of an irrelevant point and maybe a cheap shot but I...
