If you call me a thieving cunt but then a few weeks or months later say it was all a misunderstanding and you wont treat me like a thieving cunt after all I will still remember you called me a thieving cunt.

The issues with Broken Age, the long development cycle, the cutting of content and the staggered release next year are making it quite apparent the benefits of a strong publishing partner.

Nine Inch Nails was a good example of this too in the music industry, good to know there will always be reason for both methods to continue in the future.

I consider myself a pro-level grudge holder but since MS have taken a well-earned beating, have rescinded the policies that have been repudiated (publicly, at least ) by the people who were to gain most by them, and Mattrick has hit the Kinect-powered escape pod, what's left? More expensive because it has a Kinect?
Does this mean I have still hold onto $599, Other OS, Paywall PSN MP, Waggle, Final Fantasy on Xbox, N64 using carts instead of discs, Colecovision playing Atari carts, etc.
what's the statute of limitations? I suspect its as soon as a killer app appears. Even though I've ordered both, it's multiplat games that I've ordered with them.
Good on Avalanche. How would they have liked it if 4 aussies impersonated abba for 20 years?

Hopefully they pick a real Aussie voice actor for the role though...
or $60 + p/h should be fine...

This implies some sort of objective moral code that doesn't really exist. I assume Edge is aiming it's article at people trying to decide between the two. If you're the type of person to have multiple consoles on pre order you're probably
I really doubt that kind of decision gets made at the studio level.
I meant more that R* San Diego hadn't done any PC development since 2003.
Probably a combination of that and a worry about lack of sales.
With Steam nowadays though, they'll make back the cost of the porting job in no time.
Runs great for me. You pretty much just need a quad core and plenty of VRAM.
With Steam in them days they would have too. It's not like RDR was from the dark days of spotty ports. No RDR on PC remains a bizarre decision. Rep might be right that it was too messy to bother with though, I don't know.
No worse than the console versions, and generally better looking besides.
Well that's true, it was horrid on console (imo), I would have thought I could brute force a clean 60fps out of it by now, but alas no.
We probably got some poor American voice actor fired.
Yeah, the "PC Port" of GTA IV gets a lot of flak when it's actually the game as a whole.

I have been beyond help for a long time otherwise I would have quit with the Dreamcast.
yup.
They've said it's an Aussie accent. They haven't mentioned whether it's still set in Australia or not, which was what the whole issue was in the first place, wasn't it? Sounds like a cop-out or an artful dodge by Avalanche.
Edit: Okay, I was thinking of a different petition. So they have an Aussie voice actor, but no mention of the location? I *thought* that was the issue in the first place, but maybe I'm wrong. PS. People who could potentially play him:
Can't think of anyone else in the US who could do it. None come to mind, at least.
The flip-side is, Max Payne ran extremely well, different genre's etc but here's hoping

This is pretty much how I feel. They've backtracked and admitted they were wrong and got rid of Mattrick. I mean I understand why people are pissed, but as far as mea culpas go, they've just done a pretty big one.
Shit, forgot to reply to the second mulitquote.

Yeah, I would, but I heard you worked on Party Animals, so I'm not so sure now.Mentioning Party Animals is career poison.
Um...not a huge amount to tell about those guys except they really know their stuff and I've got every confidence in the world the game is going to be fantastic. I've had the pleasure of working with them on Party Animals, Ga'Hoole and Happy Feet 2 (and maybe Spyro too? It was so long ago...) and they all deserve sainthoods for putting up with having my useless ass on the team. So I know they have what it takes to get the game done. This KS has been coming for a long time now, they're putting a fuckton of work into it and you should support more local development.
Just my opinion
So in order to remove the always online DRM to allow those without an internet connection to use the console you have to hook the machine up to the internet?
If true: Bravo, Microsoft. Bravo.
Hmmm, that's a good point. I think you may hav-- hang on did you work on Party Animals?!?!
Cue gamers complaining about the weird voices or questions about "Is this set in England?"

Being able to get the console (PS4) for $200 (after trade in credit). It's as simple as that. You can barely get a PS3 for that price 8 years after launch; I can foresee a time where I'll be able to get it for that little.
Cheap price, funded entirely by selling and trading in games that I don't want to keep, four games on launch with PS+, stick it to the Xbone, lack of foresight.

Just pretty keen in general. I'm not 100% if I'll get it at launch, I'm anticipating cash flow problems, but I'll be there pretty early. I loves me a console launch.
I might be late to the party with this, but has this been posted? What happens when Q3A bots play for four years

I had never bought a playstation at launch. This is first time they've been reasonably priced. I bought both Xboxes at launch because there were games I wanted to play, same with the last three Nintendo consoles. I am spectacularly bored with 360 and PS3 though. TLOU and Sly Cooper were the first PS3 games I have played in over a year.
That and the fact it's really a phantom preorder since its with Amazon. no money down and they could still say"no OS orders fulfilled."
I guess it's also an age thing. I'm turning 40 in a few months. I'm a hell of a lot more forgiving than I was at 20 or even 30. I don't have it in me to be 100% angry about everything all the time. MS not doing something bad they said they would is good, not bad.
Brit Tom Hardy is Max in the movie. He's apparently doing the accent. The game and movie aren't linked specifically. I would be highly surprised if they didn't merge the two for marketing purposes unless Tom Hardy's agent is a prick

Tempted by PS4 having a handful of F2P games ready around launch. Already having PS+ also makes it a huge temptation knowing that I can start the console up and already have 4 games (including Don't Starve which I really want to play) ready to go.
Will wait for first sale though!
Every purchase I've made since my 360 red ringed has been a revenge buy against the Xbox brand. I'm not console warrior, but I hate that platform. Not because of the red ring mind, that was just the straw.
Thanks, I was wondering why Carmack tweeted this: https://twitter.com/ID_AA_Carmack/status/352192259418103809

Why else would there be game based on the IP!
I bet a few people in here would have some things to say about the company behind the IP too.

I was afraid it was fake, but I really wanted to believe.
And that's a masters thesis I could get behind. A mate of mine found a peer-reviewed journal for comic book analysis. He's currently trying to figure out if reading comics analtyically would make him hate them. It's still probably worth it. I'm not really into comics but I'd still do that

Heh heh heh... angry sex... heh heh heh... red ring... tee hee hee.
Can I ask why? Just curious.
The focus on it by Microsoft caused them to kill off their PC studios and stop developing or even porting PC games. Prior to that they marketed the first Xbox as "just like a PC" and a lot of people I know bought into that rubbish, when it was really just another closed off console and nothing at all like a PC. The 360 had proprietary ports, severely limiting third party peripherals, and making those that did exist rather expensive, I guess due to licensing costs. Ridiculous hard drive upgrade costs. Gold sub required for peer to peer online play, offering nothing else of value. XBLA started out good but scaled very poorly and tales of poor treatments of developers and exorbitant title update costs.
There is probably other stuff I'm forgetting.
To be fair, the controller was awesome, and the integration of chat/messaging with gaming was better than anything else anywhere, even on PC.
If I had the time of day for both consoles, I'd probably get an Xbone just for Sunset Overdrive, but I barely have time to play what I've got, so it's easy to "boycott" it. Like someone who doesn't like coffee boycotting Gloria Jeans.

Good point, I didn't think about that (MGS and the death of PC support), totally understand and voting with the wallet is the best thing you can do. The other things (XBLA, dev support etc) I also agree with. Thanks for clarifying.
