Not surprising with all the hotfixes driving away people to other games, especially Rift.
WoW is in cruise control mode right now, anyone expecting it to get drastically better content or gameplay is living on a cloud. |

Ubisoft movies will require you to maintain a constant internet connection at all times, even in the theater, or playback will cease.

I have a lifetime subscription to this, and haven't touched it in 8 months. I think I might have to check it out again. I kind of forgot about it until you mentioned it :P.
Patch time...
To be honest if it wasn't for the weekly episodes, player made missions (some of which rival Cryptics content), and continual and upcoming additions I wouldn't have resubbed or be considering a lifetime sub. There's a player mission that takes you to Bajor, it's very story driven but I highly recommend it. I also recommend the Romulan/Reman featured episode series, it's really engrossing and each mission in it is designed really well. |

The more I hear about TOR, the less I'm inclined to buy. To be truthful, not having full control over your ship, having it fly on rails was pretty much the nail in the coffin for me.
I've actually been having a ton of fun with STO after all the changes they've made. Most of that is because of the weekly episodes and the Foundry, which lets people create missions for others to play. There's been some fantastic story driven player-made episodes I've played. Cryptic's other game, Neverwinter, will have a similar toolset, where people can make their own adventures and play them with friends or share with strangers.
I think that's really something special about these games. Sure there's still premium content rolling out by the creators but you have the ability to make your own as well, or just play through content others have made and totally bypass all the grind in an MMO. It pretty much takes a "theme park" MMO and totally throws it into the "sandbox" territory. User generated content could very well be the future of MMOs, now that the static themepark model is starting to get old to a large percentage of MMO fans.
I'm sure the story arcs and voice acting will be great in TOR and having a story for each class will allow for some replayability, however once you max all the classes out what then? At this point it sounds like a typical end-game PVE and/or PVP loot grind. I have doubts they'll be able to keep up with content demands and keep the quality up considering how much work it takes to fully VO multi-branching quests.
I'm happy for Bioware to prove me wrong but it seems like this game is missing the "massively" bit that would warrant a subscription. |

an underground world of illicit, high-stakes racing
Can someone just make a damn remake of Street Rod?
Come on!
And dont mess it up please!
There was this game called "Street Legal" that incorporated actual engine and body building. Game was awful but the idea of putting different parts together to build a nice motor was fun.
I played Street Legal. It was "awful" in the sense that they really didn't have the money for a better graphics engine and it had many bugs though they were ironed out later on. However the damage system and building a car part by part was something that I found really awesome. You could take out the extra seats, bumpers, lights, even glass to make the car weigh less. With a script edit you could even swap engines. Hitting a curb in a race could shear off your oilpan causing the engine to sieze up, or you could even have a really bad wreck and leave your car a twisted heap of metal. For all of its faults, I really loved the concept of buying a junked out used car, fixing it up, and racing it where crashing had real consequences, often forcing you to rebuild the car.
And yeah, a remake of Street Rod (with classic cars ONLY PLEASE) would be awesome, or maybe just bringing back MCO... |

Err... don't get me wrong... I love Warband but... not much of a sequel when most of the art assets, music, and everything else is carried over, is it? So they added guns and bombs and a new MP mode... okay. There have been several mods for M&B that also added guns, mods which actually have reloading animations for NPCs when they reload their firearms, as opposed to showing them just standing there like idiots as this video shows.
Bit disappointing, Paradox. :\ |

He did take an oath, an oath to serve the United States against both foreign AND DOMESTIC threats. It can easily be argued that he was was exposing the liars and cheats who have been willfully eroding our diplomatic credibility, and thus our international image as a nation, for decades. |

| There's a reason why games like the Mass Effect series, L.A. Noire, any many others are "Isolated Single-player Experiences". It's because they can offer more focused, intimate story-telling. Don't get me wrong, it would be cool to see a CoOp Mass Effect but then being the "hero" would be diminished a bit, which is why you see so many "isolated single-player experiences." Of course Valve games are very linear, so adding in the ability, for example, to play Alyx while your friend is Gordon wouldn't be nearly as hard to implement or impacting on the story. Something tells me story would still suffer a bit, though. |

Sorry Will, you haven't been relevant to gaming since umm... the late 90s.
Yes Avatar was successful, but that doesn't mean it was a great movie. For details on why it was successful yet overall a bad movie, I highly suggest watching Plinket's hilarious but on point review on it: http://redlettermedia.com/plinkett/other-movies/avatar/
So yeah... games can be universally "successful" and appeal to every schmoe if they rely on tired old story templates and cheap tricks such as "Disney eyes" in Avatars case.
It's sad it doesn't seem like we'll ever see another rich, thinking persons, strategy game from Will. I guess all those years under EA's wing really warped his mind from developing wonderful sims that challenge and instill thinking skills in young and old players alike to making simplistic, easily marketable, casual games. :\ |

| Disappointing still no Co-Op MP. This game is begging for something along the lines of Borderlands. As for dialogue, if they have group dialogue figured out in TOR they can do it in Mass Effect. |

So... Microsoft aggressively goes after software makers who want to use the Kinect to spread some virtual lovin' but are happy to green light a game about lopping off body parts... >.>
Now I'm not saying there isn't a place for a bit of the 'ol ultra-violence but seriously America has fucked up priorities. |

| Considering this is an FPS and not an RPG, 15 hours seems pretty good. The real question is if there is any redeeming replayability. |
