Grudge

Hahaha, NNK is my clan's tag. :D

Consider this my patent statement:

In reality, an object is an object. You can only have so many different types of (for example) wood. And even those varieties are by-products of very few characteristic changes to wood (for example: color, grain spread, etc.)

I don't understand, and never have, why there's so much rebuilding from the ground up on every project. ICe acts like ice regardless of what company is making it. Once you have a basic structure for how an object works, make that open source and leave it up to development teams to do their own tweaking.

All video games are just extensions/abstractions of reality anyway. Why7 not make a basic reality set of objects and let teams go from there?

Oh, right. Patents and money.

Excellent, thankee.

Hit Add to quick.

Miniboss, I'm not sure what you mean. XBL allows you to download trailers and demos whileplaying a single-player version of an XBL Arcade game.

Why would you assume this can't?

Where did this information come from?

When Nintendo announced their next-gen console would not be following Sony and MS's race for realistic graphics (essentially saying "We don't care"), you and everyone else knelt down and suckled.

I don't get why you guys can't separate Sony's true f-ups on this from ones simply based on your frustration with them.

I took a month long hiatus from reading comments. They're worse than when I left.

All of you: Grow up, step into the twenty first century, and stop whining like fourteen year old children. If you want it, save for it. If you don't, then don't. It's really that simple.

the problem with the 360 is that it brought gaming to the MTV idiots, who think if they scream the loudest, they'll win.

Play your damn console - whatever it is - and enjoy it. Stop being morons and wasting your pathetic lives wondering if other people are going to shell out a hundred dollars more than you did for their favorite console. It really makes you look childish.

DCSimian, are you forgetting that the PS2 (Playstation Two) plays DVD's and CD's?

Progress, progress, progress.

Thanks for being civil, DCSimian.

Yes, I do find it dishonorable. Everything you said makes sense (short game, code available elsewhere), but doesn't make it right, in my opinion.

I'm sorry, you're all wrong, and this is the last I'll say on it.

1. I could care less who gets a pre-order weapon from a game. It's principle.

2. I'm the only one complaining, yes. Generally, the listof comments aroundhere are filled with nonsense, console bashing and the like. So I don't feel too bad being the odd man out in the comments section.

3. Two wrongs, blah blah blah. I keep hearing what evgeryone else has done, and why that makes this okay. Ask the publishers if that's how they feel.

4. Just another example of culture these days. Selfish and illogical.

Carry on.
