Steam has great sales, but a lot of that comes because they have competition from those second hand stores. Amazon, GMG, GameFly, Origin, GameStop, etc.

You do this shit, take competition out, charge whatever amount of money you want. You either buy it from us or you don't buy it at all, hold dat shit

Yeah, that is what I was getting out. They need to learn to compete and make themselves relevant rather than trying to lock others out.

I don't think GTA does the same thing. All of their games have a different style.

GTA? Those games change pretty dramatically with each iteration.

The actual gameplay is very close across the series. Different story, locations, and shit like cell phones/weight gain aren't massive changes to the gameplay. Granted, I suppose there's only been one online multiplayer iteration, so I probably shouldn't have included it.

This man gets it.

He still won't get Viewtiful Joe 3 though.

Well, how does Steam handle bans and hacks?

You get caught you lose all your shit. All of it.

Sooo it's February. Halo 4's important month. Hopefully we get some TU news tonight.

So Microsoft killed the LAN party, the only thing that kept them in the gaming industry after the OXbox launched. Lol. They're limiting programming on Durango to certain libraries, while Orbis is essentially allowing me to program a Java game if I wanted to? They're trying to create a unified model that is distinctively Microsoft, and it's a poor model in this age. I guess they are really trying to go after that Apple money.

As for Halo, I've been watching the 2010 OgreLAN since CyReN sent me the links. One thing that's really awesome about CE is that you can see a direct distinction between hyper-competitive players and casual players. It's really interesting to watch matches with teleporters and watching them try and predict whether they took the walking path or the tele path and the timings of it.

Wouldn't bet on it being anything good, not with how quiet they are being.

If they planned to have balance changes, such as a DMR nerf, or a boltshot nerf, they would have mentioned it, instead, we are getting "we don't release the TU details until after it releases."

SIX SEASONS AND A MOVIE!

I am more than ready.

So february is save halo month?

Off to a good start. Doubles Pro is the shit; my few games have been among the best Halo multiplayer I've been a part of.

edit: that shirt design is...well, not that great.

 

[Risen]

Here.

The reviewer came back and said a lot of words but didn't actually say anything.

Get busy for a few months and miss pure gold... check.

Well done Rich.

Anyone up for Halo Brunch?

I have to go the doctor more often, but it's worth it.

 

[Poker Face]

So that new Xbox rumor

that's cool, I didn't want to buy the new Halo anyway

Halo 5 to still be $50 dollars by 2020

Looks like I might be getting a PS4 if this shit is true

 

[Shadders]

Chubby? Shit man, that is real women. I would not mind dating her.

But she's chubbier than Halo 4's Cortana, right?

(I'd totally bang a chick with those proportions)

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

It's likely the same for PS4 according to rumors.

RUMORS EVERYWHERE.

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

If anyone remembers previous generations Playstation is always "jesus" when it comes to what it can do, but it never delivers.

Not possible.

RIP consoles.

Gaming had a good run

 

[User 73706]

this is like that time sig had a record time but got shot out of the air by a troll latiku during the airship section, but for the gaming industry

 

[IHaveIce]

Fuck that, I'm always swapping games with my friends.

 

[Plywood]

More reasons not to buy the next xbox.

PS3 has the same daily rumor as well. I wonder what the gaming blogs have in store for us tomorrow?!

 

[Tawpgun]

All I'm saying is, they best be hyping Halo 5 by the time the Nextbox launches if they want me to get in on that.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Hyping Halo 5 this fall? I think it's a bit soon. I can see them hyping some kind of Halo game though.

 

[Zeouterlimits]

In that PS1 and PS2 were the best and most successful consoles of their generations?

Spoiler

Comparing a piece of technology to the "All Mighty" is a weird thing to do anyway. People.

Way too soon for more Halo. Stop burning people out.
Early in the generation is to hook people with new ips like Gears before it.

 

[Akai__]

M$ and Son¥...

I knew it, since Sony patented a software, which blocks used games. SMH at that decision, if true.

Happy birthday Juices.

343i should hire you. Would be an epic birthday gift.

The "Emotion Engine" will produce Toy Story level graphics on the reg, so go buy that PS2 right now. Circa 2000.

Whatever they do, I need to believe Halo 5 will be better than the rushed and design baffling product that Halo 4 is.

 

[orznge]

yo when's Halo 3 PC getting released

 

[Moa]

yo when's Halo 3 PC getting released

The same time Halo 3 gets a Matchmaking update.

 

[User 73706]

Wasn't it confirmed mainline Halo games would see releases every 2 years now instead of 3?

 

[Tawpgun]

Also, not believing Trust Us, Feels like Halo anymore.

 

[Garrett 2U]

Pretty much, in an interview with IGN.

There's no explicit strategy that says we're to ship a Halo game every year. I will say I think one Halo game every three years -- which was kind of our old cadence – is probably not frequent enough.

 

[Blueblur1]

Chubby? Shit man, that is real women. I would not mind dating her.

Real women indeed. Gotta have meat on dem bones.

 

[Tunavi]

Seriously, that game is boring.

Final straw.

Also, who the fuck remakes Swordbase (A) and remakes it in the game it's already in (B)?

hahah

 

[xxjuicesxx]

You guys are silly as hell. Max players online (peak) is a super important number.

We already know lots of UU's sign on, the game sold well. Retention is down though. Players are signing on less frequently and for shorter durations.

The peak is the number MM has to work with with the hidden Trueskill to give solid games during PRIMETIME, its even worse during all other periods.

They completely ditched ranking systems for this new system and guess what, now theres not enough players for it to work!

 

[Shadders]

This guy is so fucking angry about the idea of blocking used games. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOvJrbIKWmk

I almost want to see it confirmed just to see how he'll react.

 

[User 73706]

They should call the Xbox 420 the Orbis 2 just for shits and giggles.

I need to dedicate myself to some gaming blog and just copy/paste articles from others. Get semi-popular. Wait for the next gen and make up reasonable things that would get fans riled up. It seems it might be worth the wait.

 

[Tunavi]

So that new Xbox rumor

I'm fucking out if true.

 

[User 73706]

I should host a gaming vlog with HaloGAF guest stars.

 

[Tawpgun]

Truth be told, Ill probably get whatever consoles my friends get and I feel they'll just choose xbox.
