ouch pretty steep price have to first get me new TV and PS3... i am seriously thinking tht this game might be the reason to fork out the money... but as usual the highest prices for stuff in Slovakia are always right before X-mas... so if i patiently wait until january i might save few hundred EUR...

@ Majek. Morgoth: Did you imported it, or it was released in EU aswell?

see i can post funny pictures aswell...sorry next time i find article about something with much more complexity and depth, like MW2... oh nevermind...Read the article first, then maybe you realize, how did you embarassed yourself just nowhttp://www.destructoid.com/ffxiii-xbox-360...s3-157001.phtmlI would say this is the case... If they have same law as Germany, retailers can't sell unrated games or else they get fined by huge money... only option is to import the game then...I bet the developers get same money as from retail boxes, and publishers gets all the extra money...That's like asking "Would you prefer AIDS or a pony?" Not very good comparison, imo, because there are many people who would rather pick AIDS, just because, the thingies you usualy do while getting it (breeding yourself), are much more fun, than the things you do while getting the pony (breeding ponnies)...noyesDid everyone just miss a Dr. Stranglove reference? Apparently so. Maybe one from Deuce Bigalow 2 would have had more success? I weep for teh Internets. Next time i use a reference from some original slovak show, and i will be wondering why no one did get it aswell, ok?BothI have just finnished Final Fantasy VI, still playing Dissidia and resubscribed in WoW for 1 more month... i bet i stop playing after the month again...1) no one talked about EA in this one 2) MW2 is exception, not a standard for gaming industry... 3) industry might have record revenues, but you know revenue != profit... with biger and bigger budgets they need more and more revenue to turn in profit... that is the FAIL of the managment... all they do nowadays is to cry about piracy and second hand sales lowering their profits, and only thing which lowers it, is their opinnion that, the more they invest into development, the better it sells... at some point you hit a turning point, where you can't accumulate more profits despite bigger investments, that's basic economics... if you need to sell 2 million copies to turn in profit, you fail, only 1 in 100 games are able to achieve this, i realy wish sometimes there would be zero piracy, but yes, then they would find another scapegoat...Maybe that's the reason why big corporate companies in the industry are bleeding money and are kicking people out of their work left and right...Obsidian: Not much since Sega was paying the bills for it for the most part. Its the publishers dime you are spending not the developers generally. Bioware: Nothing since Bioware is now a arm of EA, it cost EA not Bioware. Dragon Age was in development for more than 5 years... so it costed them something for sureMy top 10 of all times 1. Final Fantasy X 2. Final Fantasy X-2 3. Wing Commander III 4. Planescape: Torment 5. Baldur's Gate 2 6. Unreal Tournament Classic 7. UFO: Enemy Unknown (X-Com: UFO Defense) 8. Counter-Strike 1.5 9. Dissidia: Final Fantasy 10. DotAI don't generally feel that the overall quality of movies has changed much since then. Maybe a bit on the decline, if only because there's so much more out there. Nostalgia will start to prop up both of the movies I mentioned more and more too. excellent movies are made nowadays aswell, but not in such a number like decade or 2 ago... but as anything else, it's just my subjective feeling... i can say at least that 10 years ago, when i run into DVD renting place, i found anything good for watch in less then 5 minutes, nowadays i have to browse the DVD for 10-20 minutes to see something good... not to mention TV, which i watch like 4 hours a month nowadays... so much crap pouring out of every channel everyday, that i would definately sell my TV if i would not have any console... not worth the money...Its all a personal line where the gamer feels like they aren't getting value for the money. If Bethesda's DLC price to content ratio was standard for all games, I would neither want to nor be able to afford to spend my money on gaming. $10 for 1-2 hours of gaming isn't worth it So for me DLC's are too expensive at their current price point. that's why some people prefer to wait for compilation if you dont need e-peen stroking, you realy do not need to buy the games on release day and you save a lot of money for the same funThe sum of all fears? Also, uncanny valley CGI scenes should be in Matrix-like movies. For instance, the protagonist hallucinates and the real/CGI scenes are used to tell apart when he's seeing things and when not. Patriot Games and Hunt For Red October were two excellent Tom Clancy-based movies. but iirc both have much more than 10 years, at that time there was lot of excellent movies made and this would be more likely the cast of the movies todayi almost puked at the end...
