    EA's pay to win future

    They actually were. Assassin's Creed 3 sold over 12 million copies, a huge success. Far Cry 3 has sold 4.5 million (released in December) and Ubisoft said that's much higher than expected. Both games took huge deviations from their formulas. The Walking Dead game has sold more than 8.5 million...

    Tomb Raider (X360/PS3/PC)

    http://trscavenger.com This is a pre-order challenge thing for Tomb Raider. You get a code to sign up for it when you pre-order from wherever. It started a while ago I guess and goes until release. You get some bonuses for completing stuff in it. It's pretty easy and quick. You also get...

    EA's pay to win future

    Yeah, the Witcher 2 is absolutely gorgeous on both PCs and consoles. The 10 million cost is pretty amazing compared to what other Western developers spend, especially considering how much content is in the game. I'm guessing that there are some really bad practices and inefficient stuff driving...

    EA's pay to win future

    Sure, but it's still going to be agoodsuccess, just not a "holy shit" success. Nintendo's not even remotely in danger of doing poorly and has a shitload of money. Their hardware numbers may fall abitfor handhelds, but their core software still sells amazingly well. To think that they are in any...

    EA's pay to win future

    The 3DS seems to be making a pretty good comeback though, especially with Fire Emblem. It's pretty crazy that that game is selling out everywhere. I don't think they're in any danger of that system not being a success. Japan probably is big enough to sustain a handheld market by itself...

    EA's pay to win future

    Plus as long as Nintendo remains a hardware company, handhelds will still be around. Nintendo won't go away as oneuntilthey decide to stop selling their software only on their platforms. People buy Nintendo handhelds for only a few franchises and as long as those franchises are still massive...

    EA's pay to win future

    Handhelds aren't going anywhere for a while, they're still hugely popular in Japan and their Commuter Culture has continued to foster their growth. Their popularity will likely die down in the US, but they'll still be around as long as Japan continues to love them. The PSP may have tanked here...

    Call of Duty and Madden are not a case study for the entire industry and every publisher and developer. Most of them arenotlike that.

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    Not sure why you'd want to go Warrior and 3x Mage. Warriors and Rogues are both really powerful in DA2. It's nothing like DA1's lopsided balance and mages were the class I cared least about using in DA2.

    Xbox Live Ultimate Game Sale

    4 Absolutely is, it's the best Resident Evil title they've made. 5 is a pure action game and more of a zombie slaughter fest than survival horror. It's notterrible, but it was the turning point of the series to a new direction that a lot of people were rightfully upset about.

    Man, I could not disagree more. Gaming has been great this past year and the start of this year. Ubisoft took some wild deviations and big changes with both Assassin's Creed 3 (the Naval battles could be a game on their own) and Far Cry 3. Capcom created a great new IP with Dragon's Dogma and...

    100% sync is fine... if the objectives aren't holy stupid as fuck. Some of the AC3 ones were controller throwing, almost broke a window, bad. AC1's pacing and side stuff was terrible, definitely don't want to go back to it. AC3 had way too many action set pieces though and there wasn't enough...

    Picked up El Shaddai for 3 bucks off that sale. Also it says some titles will be up to 85%. I hope RDR has a super cheap price, I never actually played it. Also might pick up the MGS HD Collection if they're cheap enough. I've also never played a single CoD game and they're all going to be on...

    They haven't said officially yet, but all the rumors about the specs said 500gb and they were pretty much spot on with everything else. That's a little small considering games will be using up to 50gb discs, but it'll be manageable. Hopefully they let you pop in your own HDD like on the PS3.

    Xenosaga wasn't really hyped either, at least not here. Xenosaga 1 was pretty good, most peopled liked it, but weren't in love with it. 2 was... bad and very disappointing. 3 was absolutely fucking fantastic and an amazing game, but 2 turned off most people from it.

    You can use cash on all of those games in the sale, you don't have to use points. You can use points if you want too though. All Games are purchasable on XBL with regular dollars. It's only DLC that currently requires MS points and hopefully they do away with that soon.

    I didn't really think people hyped it up that much here, outside of maybe a couple die-hard Wii loyalists.
