[/quote] This. Also Beep take off the tinfoil hat, Grey's gonna yell at you for copying him. Not all corporations are greedy exploitative fuckwits, and I'm actually behind Blizzard because unlike most game developers they don't just rehash the same trash year by year. WoW's a money churning monolith because Blizzard gives two shits. If anything assuming they'll make us pay for DIII is a more logical choice but that's still iffy.

From war 2, to DII, to war3, to wow, their releases have always been slow, tedious, but ultimately rewarding. It doesn't seem like WoW is changing any of that. |

I guess it's to make sure the game itself makes all the races fun to play (or rather, not too frustrating to play against) that they are taking their time. And charging for B.Net is stupid. The only people stupid enough to make people pay extra charges to play online (MMOs set aside) are from Microsoft. We all know that it isn't going well for them... right?

They could just ask the Korean government for a monthly check instead of charging for BNet....they'd probably get it

Eh, when they said make it "more like XBox Live" all they meant was adding friends lists, inter-game chat, etc. etc. Y'know, all the stuff Steam does too. Probably would have been a better comparison since you don't have to pay for that one.

We have fighting games too Honest. I know a couple people who went to EVO. (it's held in a las vegas hotel ballroom and it was literally standing room only, 1500 people signed up for SF4 alone, and they held multiple other tournaments, not to mention side tournaments)

You know, at times I imagine the fervor in controlling the fate of Starcraft II is actually similar (if not the same) as the South Korean legislative process.
Those people are SERIOUS about their legislation.

[/quote] The only thing out of that list I will call respectable is King of Fighters. Haven't played BlazBlue but I hear good things so it gets a free pass. MVC is pushing it, along with Guilty Gear. A good thing to play with your buddies but I can't take the competitive scene seriously, like with SSB. Tekken and Soul Calibur I'd have to disagree with, then yell incoherently at you till I got bored, then possibly go make a hot pocket. I'm gonna go make a hot pocket. @Duck vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv (05-10-2009, 07:39 PM)Radio Raheem link Wrote:in the straightest way possible i have to say honest is by far the best looking person here |
