Game on: NFL likeness lawsuit against EA moving forward

Mar 31st 2012 4:44PM (Joystiq)
@(Unverified) I'm sorry, but they're getting FREE college AND the opportunity to make millions (I have a friend who graduated with me who plays for Seattle Seahawks' practice squad and he makes $90k with no housing bills). You can't honestly condemn a company because a player doesn't use their money wisely. Sorry, but a 2 million dollar bathtub might look nice when you're twenty-five with a 30M contract, but they're going to feel stupid once they retire. I do however agree that the NFL should give retirees SOME benefits (more specifically players who played years ago for nothing).

@billymagnum You can message friends. You can even private chat, you just can't party chat.

EA still in running for The Consumerist's Worst Company in America

Can't believe Best Buy beat Target. And the only reason Gamestop didn't make it to the end was because it got matched with Walmart early on. Good ol' Gamestop. "Trade in your entire game collection right now and receive 25% extra credit towards ___________!!!!" Newsflash: 25% of nothing is still nothing.

Seattle Space Needle is a giant Angry Birds slingshot

Am I the only one who absolutely cannot stand this game? I'm not saying it isn't fun or whatever, but it's certainly not original. There are dozens of other less-known mobile games that came out before Angry Birds, just slightly different. I also can't stand hearing the Psychology majors at my university talk about how smart you have to be to play it and how it requires advanced physics. No, I've taken every physics class an engineering degree requires me to, but I've never once needed it for freaking Angry Birds. And don't even get me started about the people who think this is "nerdy".

/end rant.

@KGameLover1

A.) Spoilers!

B.) You clearly didn't do enough to get a different ending, because you don't have to sacrifice Shep.

@Teeree

300? You could easily find a 360 for around 100. Or you could probably get a PC capable of running it for 300, assuming you don't have a PC that you could expand on.

Rumor: Mass Effect 3 multiplayer DLC spotted

I've beaten the game and hated the ending just like most everyone else, but I'm so sick of people saying that the last hour of ME3 somehow ruined ME1/2. Seriously, this is one of the best series that I've ever had the joy to play and just because I didn't like the ending doesn't mean I should just act like I hate the entire universe now.

That being said, given all the butthurt ensuing from the Bioware forums, I have a feeling that there will be a dlc that continues the story. Also, Someone a while back said to keep your save file.

Xbox Live users report Gamerscores dropping to zero, MS aware of the issue [Update: potential fixes]

Don't get me wrong, I don't think there's anything wrong with them, but in the same sense, I don't go way out of my way to get them either. They actually gave me a reason to play most games on higher difficulties again.

@eat it
I don't understand why you're trying to compare overall instead of individual games. I have around 60k, but I don't really care that much about it. I only play games I like (which usually have more difficult achievements), however I know some people get so wrapped into achievements that they'll rent kids games just to get an easy 1000 GS. The same could be said for PSN's trophy system. You could bust your balls trying to get a platinum trophy in something like GOWIII, yet I could go pick up an old disney movie game and have the platinum in an hour.

TL;DR: I find it's better to just compare game-by-game.

Metareview: Mass Effect 3

"I'm teh biggest ME fan evarrr.... wuts this? MULTIPLAYER?!!!!!"

I still can't believe the whining that commenced due to a game getting a freaking horde mode. I'm sure that horde mode just ruined so many possibilities for SP. You're telling me that I have to play this enjoyable co-op multiplayer for a couple of hours to have a nicer ending, but I can still finish the game without an online pass? Obviously I should riot and burn my city down.
