Someone got that Humble Bundle
I always felt that the highs far outweighed the lows. In fact, part of the frustrations you could experience created some interesting emergent (wish I had a better word) situations. I think the problem is that when people buy a "racer", they have certain expectations about the ebb and flow of what that game is supposed to be like. When you upset that formula, it's difficult for people to adapt. This is a problem with a lot of genres and for games that try to do things differently.
Same. I played Paradise for 100+ hours on 360, and then double dipped on PC and played it some more, and I will install it again now.
Nah I didn't, as mentioned, I already have BP
I suppose I should, if for nothing else other than cheap Dead Space 3.It's a pretty amazing deal if you don't own the games in it already...
Fml
To be fair, I got Dead Space 3 for free because I paid for SimCity...

I like open world racing in general, I platinum'd Paradise.
But the issue for me is having to watch a mini map or a distant icon instead of the road. Makes things a little more hectic and can kill the fun if its a frustrating event. Reminds me of Splinter Cell and other "keep doing it over until you have the patterns memorized" kinda games.
BWAHAHAHAHA
*nod*
Wasn't sure what kind of frustrations you meant. There's certainly some room for improvement in that regard, but you have to be careful about it. There is something fun about learning the area and all the little ins and outs which can help you win a race.
Trust me, I know
You know what was an awesome open-world racing game? NFS: Underground 2. (only 2 had open world, I think? 1 was great too, though). Definitely my favourite NFS games.
Correct. Those games were fun as hell but the rubber band AI was total fucking bullshit.Trust me, I know

NFS: Underground Rivals on PSP. Played that a ton.
Get that hockey talk out of here.
Dude, at this point I'm just killing time until GTA V comes out.
Dat multi player gameplay.
I still don't understand how the Isles are gonna survive in a 14,500 seat arena. Then they'll play in a 13,000 seat arena a few times a year?
They'll be fine if they can fill it. I think Winnipeg plays in an arena about the same size. Plus that TV market.
They can charge higher prices with a lower supply of seats.

Indeed!
The NHL-GAF free roams are going to be great.
I actually like it this way. Time to play singleplayer/explore and not accidentally get spoilered by tools in MP.
That's true. I should go finish GTAIV:BOGT.
Yes you should.
Need to finish downloading Dead Rising 2 first.
I downloaded that earlier. Lemme know if you wanna coop it.
Cool, how does coop work in it?
I have no idea. :lol

I seriously hope all of this junk doesn't affect Alfie mentally when playing.
Elliot Friedman has now been proven pretty much 100% right in this affair.

Eh it seems to slant a bit to put Barry to blame.
Lol heatley shotz!
So after the 4.5 offer, what happened?
It's like I was alluding to, Friedman said that the Alfredsson negotiations served, in some small part, as a staging ground for a Melnyk-Barry grudge match.
I hope he gets so depressed by it that he retires and Detroit signs Cleary to a 5+ year deal to fill that spot.
I pad in $40 for it on PC in 2008. I really should have waited for a sale.
Finally got mirrors edge and battle field 3. It's a shame that Bad Company 2 is still the best battle field game.
Damn right it is.

Would hate to see Alfredsson lose his quality leadership skills and confidence in his team.

I am riding the hype train for BF4. BF3 was okay, but looking forward to the return of commander mode.
Chicago "loses" money every year too.

Truth. If we got BC2's mechanics and BC1's maps it would be heaven.
Paid $30 for it on PSN, worth every penny.
Not exactly. As it is, the Senators are a sustainable operation as the value of the team has accrued Melnyk positive capital from when he originally bought the team. The issue is that Melnyk seems to have been struggling to secure some financing for the team's debt due to a variety of factors, which the lockout played no small part.
Put it this way, Melnyk bought the team at $127 million. The article speculates that he lost $94million over his ownership, however if we value the team at $300 million (which seems to be general consensus), then the team has been a worthwhile endeavour for Melnyk.
His main concerns right now are seeing his start-ups that he's invested in, finally pay out so that he feels more comfortable in dumping money itno the team and paying down the debt.
Melnyk could very well spend to the cap if he wanted to, but he chooses not to in part because a) he wants to restrict the losses he is incurring on team operations b) he now believes in developing talent rather than purchasing it.
