4.5MIL for someone like JJ is worth it. Any team not willing to pay that for him are undervaluing him. Just look at the yoyos getting paid that much or more. parise is gonna get 7.5-8mil and he had what? 65-70 points? Still, of all teams.... Dallas? They so ain't making the playoffs. Not to mention a completely random choice that came out of nowhere.

"if they were paid more than was actually valued by the consumer on the initial sale" This doesn't make sense. A customer never overpays for a product. tehy pay what they are willing to pay. Period. If you think a game isn't worth $50 you wouldn't pay $50. If you do, you are retarded.

It sold 3.5mil+ copies. 'Nough said. no amount of silly double spin talk by you changes that fact.

"Shipped != sold. But those are still decent numbers, although the sell through numbers are probably quite a bit lower. " The article was very clear. It sold 3.5mil+ copies. Why argue with facts? L0L 'Decent' numbers.

Oh please. All games are repetitve. ALL.

Even if the Pens sign Parise they'll have money to sign Malkin if they so wish. Cap took a reasonably big jump.

Expect a ME4. ME3 has sold 3.5mil+ copies and is very profitable comparitively speaking.

ME3 has sold 3.5mil+ copies thus far according to that article, and seems to partly responsible for EA turning some profit this year. Still a failure guys? L0LZ Still, while ME3 was a money maker, a $40million budget is ridiculously high. l0l (it made EA 56mil for a total profit of 16mil) It reminds me of Hollywood blockbusters that make 200mil at the boxofficie but still considred failures cause they cost 250mil to make. Ridiculous. They need to somehow cut costs for blockbusters.

"mmm, isn't it you guys that are ***** when layoffs hit BioWare or Obsidian here? Hmm. Its not the studio. Its the people that got fired. Its the people with talent, sent to waste. Now don't give me bull**** that they kept the people with real talent, because all the talent in a studio does not come from 15 people. You know, i actually posted this to see what you guys would say. And you know, Volourn, Morgoth, you guys are top contributors here on these forums, you guys lead me to think that all the Bioware hate I see on these threads, gets me thinking, did the Obsidian Forums factor in on the great Trollers of today in a way that is surprising? Although that could just be you two being **** and not giving a **** about 90 people losing their jobs, further damaging an already unstable Vancouver" I like both BIO and Obsidian. It's very rare for me to be referred to as a 'BIO hater'. Businesses are not charity cases. If Radical (or BIO or Obsidian) can't compete they DESERVE to fold. The talented employees will find new jobs at more secure companies or will start their own 9afterall many companies are often started by fromer 'employees' - espicially true in gaming. Obsidian is an example of this. It's not about a 'lack of sympathy' for those who lose their jobs. It's about a lack of sympathy for BUSINESSES. If you cna't compete GTFO and let those who can do. You want a charity do a charity aka kickstarter.

Let them die. Game industry don't need 'em.

"Dark Knight returns with Jeff Bridges, maybe Kris Kristofferson fingers crossed. Getting tired of Bale by now. He did a good job though. Miles better than the previous bunch." Only Batman worse than Bale is Clooney. The new movies ar egood in spite of Bale not because of him. And, i say that, depsite thinking he's a solid actor otherwise.

Nah. Torturechips was.

How 'bout this? They both suck. two of the worst games ever.

"DS3 *is* good" No.

Yeah, but you guys have the better coach who allows his players to play. Gaborik and King, btw, were not the problem. Our overrated defence and our ****ty coach was. And, Rangersn were predicted to barely make the playoffs if they got lucky. This was supposed to be the Pens-Flyers year. R00fles!@

Yeah, same amount of cups. P.S. Nowhere did I claim Gaborik was a better player so you are arguing something that wans't beinga rgued.

Poor Mkreku has no sense of sarcasm. P.S. I like Kolvachuk and he's one of my fave players.

And? I haven't played plenty of games I know sucked. It's why I avoid them in the first place. L0L But, hey, I bet you never prejudge games and buy every single game out there. L0L

"no one was sure they were making the comeback LOL" Top of this page begs to differ with you, my good sir. "ovalchuk wasn't a choker, he was playing with a broken back. theres a difference" If he was too injured to contribute and play perhaps he should ahe sat out instead of being selfish. I didn't see people here or elsewhere give Gaborik a break despite him being so injured he needed surgery right afterswards and will be out (even missing start of enxt season). He choked when it mattered. At least if you believe in that stupid mumbo jumbo.

Adam Oates is a choker. So is Kolvachuk. L0L, at top of the page when people were so sure NJ was making the comeback. Kings were the better team so stop making excuses. Grats Kings. Glad these playoffs and my horrible predictions are over.

Just fought a random golem in DD for the first time. Hella fun, and took 30ish minutes to defeat. I love the diffeent ways to defeat monsters in the game.

"This fact is also completely irrelevant because it's a different genre thanks " No. No, it isn't. It is a console role -playing game. I should know. I own it for xbox 360 which, last I checked, is a console. Case closed.

"i've completely given up on the hope of ever seeing a console rpg as good as the ones being made in the mid to late 90's" DA, ME, FO:NV, and a host of other mdoern console RPGs are vastly superior to the vast majority if not all 'late 90s' console RPGs. L0L

"looks like Dragon Age, meh" Looks like Baldur's Gate, meh. Just better graphics.

And,w e know that works. China 'penalizes' US and US does the same in return. back, and forth back and forth. China won't do that over this particular issue most likely. Best way for China to do with this issue, is to fix their pollution issues instead of copping out and whining because others tell the truth and China prefers to lie.
