Oh, and a correction: Square-Enix is publishing Deus Ex: Human Revolution, not Ubisoft (thank goodness)."
It's not because I cared about my rank (I only play with friends, and for fun, not to be pro), but listening to the other guy rage over the microphone as I cornered him and destroyed his precious win streak was delicious."
If I canceled my subscription, I think I'd definitely miss the auto-downloads and cloud saves, but unless they bring more value to the table PS Plus is almost as worthless as Xbox LIVE is to me.
At this point they should slim up the crappy content and start giving users new and innovative services worth having, or brand new (and good) games every month. The only really good PS Plus feature is the store discounts, which aren't worth it once you factor in the subscription fee."
But if you want to expand your Britmob operation, you know where to look! :)"
Unless you hate my writing.
You guys don't hate my writing, right? :P
Either way, I got my email off this morning. Best wishes to everyone in the same boat as me! :)"
I wish them all the best. :)"
What was promised to be an acknowledgement of the female Shepard has turned into a vote for the bros about which one they want to stick their penis into the most.
EA have talked about making Mass Effect more "mainstream", and their idea of mainstream is a generic nu metal track in the trailer (blasphemous to what the original Mass Effect was), that stupid-looking omnitool switchblade, giant scripted and incredibly linear battles/missions, and now, it seems, to also objectify 50% of the population.
I don't for a second think this is the Mass Effect series Bioware had wanted it to be back when they released the first one. This is entirely EA's filthy influence, making generic yet another great franchise.
Don't the bros and dudes have enough games? Can't the rest of us play a big budget game (and in this case, be exposed to said game's marketing) which doesn't feel like the bro audience has been unashamedly pandered to?"
I actually don't know what direction I'm heading in right now, but I've definitely learned a lot about this industry at Bitmob, even if I don't want to go further than writing about games as a hobby. And if I do want to go pro, then I've got a lot to learn yet.
I've said this a few times now, but expect to see me making a return very soon. Things have gotten in my way every time I've said this, but I'm hoping I can make an appearance very soon."
What's sad is that I don't think Nintendo is too ignorant to not listen to what we're saying. They just too ignorant to admit that their current stance isn't working for their customers, and that they should take a step back to reevaluate they way they do certain things.
I know every five years people line up to dismiss Nintendo, proclaim doom and so on, so I'm not going to do that. However, their failure to, quite frankly, get with the times will probably be a watershed moment for the company; a time that they've completely and utterly lost the good faith of even their most loyal fans.
That's not to say it will impact their bottom line immediately -- if there are any changes, these things will be gradual rather than an exodus of loyal fans from one platform to another -- but it's not an enviable position to find themselves in. After all, it's those loyal fans that kept the Nintendo 64 and Gamecube afloat, whilst the people who have made every #1 console in history a success -- the Wii included -- are notoriously fickle."
In fact, the only two systems I think which were worse than the CD-i was the Sega 32x, just for the absurdness of it (the games on it weren't anywhere near as bad, so I hear) and the Atari Jaguar CD, which is the worst piece of crap I've ever seen in my life. I've been looking for an affordable (and working) Jaguar CD attachment for years, but I can't find one that my wallet likes."
