the main thing that sells me about jrpgs is the music, and Nobuo Uematsu never disappoints. Too bad I traded my PS3 for a telephoto lens for my DSLR camera though.

Games desensitized me to negativity in the world in general. It's not that it's a bad thing by any means either. It just means you have a high tolerance for stupid.

Both the consumer and producer need to reach middle ground. After all, why do you think the entire Adobe Creative Suite is $3000 in disc form and the Cloud Service is $70/ mo? If we made an effort to stop pirating, developers could lighten up on our wallets by lowering the price of their game? If they don't, then we don't buy the product. Period.

Go home Pete. You're drunk again.

Nintendo? Difficulty? What?

Yay Laura wrote an article! I haven't seen her write one in MONTHS since the Laura Croft one.

It's actually because they have Nintendo Direct. They showcase their business plan every month even less what they'll spend showcasing at E3. That's money saved towards building a console that will finally catch up to sony and microsoft.

Nintendo is to Gamespot what the NHL is to ESPN. That is all.

@Queefing_Return If it were any other person, I'd treat it as skepticism. However, Eddie is the most unbiased, factual writer on the Gamespot staff. That and $300 is the sweet spot for a console manufacturer to target. It locks you in to commit to Xbox Live because you are using it for two years, which means you wil buy more online games on a Microsoft platform instead of a Sony platform. You will WANT to use that $10 a month. In the long run, it guarantees a higher amount of software purchases on a Microsoft platform over a Sony platform, which is where console designers need to profit to cover for the loss suffered on each console sold.
