Maybe you should try reading past the first 8 words of his post. Just getting to the second sentence would have informed you that he has a Wii, and is thus able to purchase all of the crap games you have listed, if he feels the need to torture himself in a Mario filled HELL!

Idiot!

P.S. Plenty of people have no interest in anything Nintendo and never have had from day one.

*Don't Like Mario (Although Mario64 was too good to be ignored. But that's 1 out of how many? 40 or 50 Bloody Mario games!!!!! Get an new IDEA Nintendo AAAAaaaarrrrrrggggggghhhhh!!!!!!!!!)
*Can't stand Metroid (Especially it's platforming roots. Always hated that game. Snoresville like all early Nintendo platformers.)
*HATE Zelda (DIE LINK DIE DIE DIE!!!!!!!!!!!)
*Love the big Ape though (Donkey Kong flip screen game and watch! FTW)

P.P.S. Nintendo is only for kids. ;)

@Raffi256
"Do you really think its up to the technology companies? [YES] They'd love to tap into the lucrative emerging market. [Not us much as you seem to think] The high prices are because of import tariffs and other taxes.[ Absolute rubbish] "

Really Raffi256? Let me give you just one example that makes a mockery of your statement about tariffs and taxes.

STEAM. Why are items some items priced at say $49.95 USD for US customers, but end up costing $79.95 or even $89.95 USD for Australian customers? What adds to the cost? Shipping = none? Distribution = negligable? Tax? Australia has a 10% GST. Goods purchased online from OS, up to a total value of $1000, are exempt from the tax. = none.

Greedy, shortsighted, mainly US based companies are gouging everyone else to keep their US market happy. This will last until they believe they no longer depend on the US consumer to sustain profit growth at which point our US consumer brother will begin to understand what the rest of the world is on about.

@ThePenIsMightier

Did this game touch up a member of your family inappropriately?

Why the hate?

Apart from getting online co-op working (not that hard but a hassle that didn't need to exist), and some collision detection issues, non of my friends or I have faced any great difficulty playing it on PC. I managed to get 3 characters to level cap(61) and have a couple more about halfway with no major issues. I also use an ATI (4870x2) so perhaps I should be having trouble hey, optimised for NVIDIA and all that shit.

Mind you same thing happened to me with Battlefield 2, but I thought that was universally condemned as crap on release. I don't hear the same level of condemnation with borderlands, so I reckon your just unlucky.

@ThePenIsMightier

As a regular pen and paper RPG player, I have to say penisnightier you're argument is "paper" thin to me. I'll start with a point you made near the end,

"It was no RPG. There was a strict non deviating linear story with no player input or options. You were as scripted as everything around you. You had no choice in your character's actions, your actions or inactions effected nothing. Bread crumbs."

By that definition ALL computer "RPG's" aren't RPG's because they give you 1, 2, 3 or perhaps a few more options with dealing with the story, not "limited only by your imagination" options a true RPG should have.
Your argument is also factually incorrect. I can choose to use a pistol to kill Sledge, an SMG or perhaps a sniper rifle(!). I can go in equipped with different mods, I can try hand to hand. The only thing that doesn't change is I have to kill Sledge in his safehouse. How I do it is up to me. Again not different at all to other computer game RPG's on the market. I don't recall more than 1 final boss fight in W.O.W. or any of it's expansions either, but it is considered a computer game RPG is it not?

The fact that Borderlands has a linear story doesn't discount it from the standards applied to computer game RPG's either. They're ALL rather linear and restrictive. Having more than 1 option, but still a finite amount even if you have 100 different choices for every interaction, would still be a scripted game and your characters actions would already have been defined by someone else, the programmer.

By your definition only EVE online makes it as a true RPG. Character options limited only by the players imagination.

@Berzerk

There is no bonus map. Just a printed map of the existing territories.

@sammo21

"plus a foldout map of the game's territories."

I read that to mean a physical map of the territories already in the game that you can look at, not a new in-game map to play in either single or multi-player mode.

@The Spy

only for the bank.

Otherwise, in my opinion, it is by far the worst of the DLC.

I loved Knoxx and Zombie Island though.

Simple game, tons of fun.

@koehler83

$1,500 for a Squire? Are you talking US dollars?

Not likely. You can get 'em in Aus for around $150 - $200 Australian pesos.

If by "real fender" you meant made in USA and not Mexico or Japan, well that's a different argument.

+ 1 for you sir.

I'm a PC gamer and am still convinced that most FPS are WAY better on the PC, but HALO was the First FPS on consoles that worked in every aspect.

I played and kinda enjoyed many a GoldenEye/Perfect Dark game on the 64, but as has been mentioned before the controls were at best barely adequate.

HALO did something I didn't think was truly possible: bring an FPS to a console without making it feel horribly gimped.

It put the console FPS on the map. Before it they were almost, 2 previous examples not withstanding, a complete Joke.

To those haters out there, you make me laugh. Cameron in particular. Go on shake your tiny fist in a rage and let the world know that anyone who disagrees with you must be an idiot, or 10, for liking a game you, obviously, hate. Share with us all your infinite wisdom oh great and mighty repository(suppository!) of all that is great in gaming.
