Steve9347 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 QUOTE (SnB @ Jan 5, 2013 -> 08:41 PM) How are the controls? I saw it in the App Store and was certainly curious. I'll expand on what I posted. They WORK. I don't even think twice about them anymore. I enjoyed blowing up some baddies with an ice cream truck yesterday - I forgot how FUN GTA 3 was, given how kinda unfun GTA IV was on ps3. I hear they are bringing back the comedy for 5.

StrangeSox Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Father hires people to kill his son's video game character: http://kotaku.com/5972406/father-hires-in+...on-from-playing According to his father, Xiao Feng had terrible grades in school because of his gaming habit; he couldn't even land a job. He, however, says he simply couldn't find any work that he liked. Feng was annoyed that his son couldn't even tough it out for three months at a software development company. Unhappy with his son not finding a job, Feng decided to hire players in his son's favorite online games to hunt down Xiao Feng. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockRaines Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 QUOTE (danman31 @ Jan 4, 2013 -> 12:25 AM) I don't buy used games either, though I frequently sell back games I've played. That said, I'd happily see Gamestop rot. That place has screwed me over a couple times and I don't really care for the used games market as a business. As others mentioned some games already have activation codes as is anyway. This is just the next step. The people there are dickfaces. However I fail to see how games can ever be purely downloadable which will always make those stores necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simply the size of the files comparable to blue-ray. Seems like a ton of downloading/storing to me vs changing discs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrangeSox Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 It's going to be a long, long time before that's widely available and in all markets in the dozens of countries they sell games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll also be a while before all games become download-only. But I can see something like that 5-10 years from now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huge games are already available digitally. I expect this upcoming generation of consoles to play heavier into that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxbadger Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I was actually going to post that id guess the next generation consoles are 500gb+. It wouldnt surprise me if 1tb was the middle and that the high end were 1.5-2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hint: You get a starter from the first three generations pretty quickly, so while I normally had a Charmander, I got a Squirtle to go with my Cyndaquil and Treecko. Best part is there are cutscenes and such and your character actually talks. It's a really well made ROM.
