Sony will be around for sure, I wouldn't even worry about it. They would be a really attractive takeover target if nothing else and once the reorganization is complete I suspect they will do pretty well. The videogame division will be very profitable this time if they don't repeat past mistakes, Microsoft has been handing them opportunities on a platter.
I don't know if I'll get a PS4 but I know for sure I won't be getting the new Adbox from Microsoft, they're the only company who has been doing its best to ensure they won't get my business. I might just stick with a PC + 3DS, right now its filling my gamings pretty well, haven't even booted up the PS3 in weeks. |

| Sony coasted on their name for a long time in consumer electronics and it really hurt them. The good news is that profits are basically dead in most of those markets now and it makes no sense to compete there anymore. They can keep going as a supplier and focus on more profitable markets. |

| Call of Duty World at War was the peak for me in terms of features vs cost and the community. Great MP in that game and pretty much every PC feature you could think of. I don't bother with them anymore, the games haven't evolved enough IMHO. |

Prince of Nothing really has improved quite a bit now that I know what the fuck is going on. Good characters, sprawling story, and Bakker writes well (I liked The First Law, but the writing was pretty elementary).
Abercrombie's writing is workmanship stuff but he does great characters and makes simple stories seem well composed. I love his nihilistic on everything (including battles).
Bakker I couldn't get into, too many similar characters and he has a boner for geopolitical schemes that just gets absurd.
People keep telling me to check out Brandon Sanderson but his characterization sucks, his magic systems feel like he thinks hes writing a D&D module and he cannot write fight/battles to save his life, everything comes off as totally mechanical. |

Who keeps buying this crap? Every release sees stronger sales than the last...
The music games were the same story, this is just more sustainable due to the demographics. It will slow down as that demographic ages though. |

All indecent stuff aside i dont have a problem with people video taping people in a public domain.
I do, it's an etiquette issue and many people are brought up with no etiquette skills. Active filming with an obvious device I can understand and avoid, Glass some dude can just be wearing across the street and I have no idea I'm being featured in his weirdo production. Passive filming devices are fucking annoying for several reasons, creeping on women and other people not the least withstanding.
Seriously go watch that episode I mentioned sometime, its an eye opener for little things people don't think about with this sort of technology and not in a conspiracy theory nutcase way. |

I dont get the perv connection really. Whats the difference between a cell phone camera. Atleast you can deffinitely tell someone's head is under a ladies skirt or under a bathroom stall...
It's not obvious? You can tell when someone is recording you with a phone for the most part. It requires more precise positioning and you have a chance to object since you will be informed. Someone can already be recording with Glass and doing so passively without your knowledge or consent. If I wanted to be on TV I would have gone into the arts.
Some people liken it to "traffic cameras" which are glorified surveillance but guess what? I don't like those either
Go watch Season 1 Episode 3 of Black Mirror by Charlie Brooker, it is a great showcase of why we don't need permanent, active video recording capability for society as a whole. |

The Gamefly client isn't too bad. I don't boot it on startup, only when I'm going to play one of the few games I have on there. After I'm done, I just close it. One of the pains is that b/c I load it so infrequently, the client software almost always has to install a new version when I do.
Ugh, that reminds me of using Calibre. Every time I open that thing to convert an ebook it needs an update, every damned time! I donated to the project and asked the developers to include a background update service or option, drives me nuts having to do it manually every time (I know, first world probs!). |

| Thanks for the impressions, I think based on what you're saying I'm going to pass for now since it sounds like a kitchen sink game without much focus. Also Rage wasn't exactly my favorite game so I'm not sure something like it with weaker gameplay elements will be up my alley. |

| Thanks for the first impressions. Can you talk a bit more about the RPG elements and the combat system? The features page makes the game seem like a little of everything and it's kind of difficult to get a feel for its gameplay as a result. Does it play like an action RPG or is it a hybrid like Alpha Protocol? |

| Ammo is easy to manufacture, not a big deal. DHS (which is largely party agnostic) typically makes very large orders so I don't get the political spin. |

It was worse with the new Tomb Raider. Multiplayer, really? And all DLC post release is for multiplayer only... REALLY?
Not sure what this 90's fascination is with adding 'deathmatch' stuff to a game just to try and have it linger longer in the sales area. Just give us a good game and some mod tools and the game will sell for years.
I didn't really care about the multiplayer mode for Tomb Raider, the game felt very complete without it. The DLC thing is annoying but honestly I see very little DLC worth its price of admission in general and most of that is for RPGs. |
