The content is actually available for free if someone was to actually play the game and grind out the stats.

This is nothing new, at least. There's been "timesaver" DLC in the past.

Honestly, if someone wants to pay the cash, I'm all for it. Long as I can get my shit in game.

I really don't like this thread. it's easier to find information on new gaming news if someone makes a new thread about it, rather than having to read a bunch of posts that may or may not pertain to your interests :(

Drakul 08-08-2010 02:40 AM

Well it helps keep the more important threads visable because they aren't being bumped down by every piece of gaming news that requires a new thread. We only have two pages in this forum and once a thread goes off page 2 we have to do a search for it.

This is one of those threads it's best to catch when it's small and keep up to date with to save yourself lots of unwanted reading.

If we had that news ticker I suggested, maybe the news would be easier to find.

V 08-08-2010 07:44 AM

2 pages? I can see 90.

Also, some of the stuff in this thread has been more important to me, than most of the topics in the first 2 pages of the VG forums.

Putting everything together randomly through pages and pages and pages in one single thread just seems silly and inefficient to me

BUT IT WORKS FOR YOU GUYS SO I DIGRESS I SUPPOSEEEEEEEEEE

But it doesn't give Kal a thread erection.

Civilsation Revolution is the free app on the iPhone/iPod app store today. It's basically a re-skinned Civ 2 from what I'm reading instead of that slightly awful main console version.

This thread hasn't stopped anyone from making a new thread on whatever they want. News that don't warrant a thread get made here (as I've been using it). Big news, ongoing news, or somebody's personal interest get threads usually. If you feel something is underrepresented than create a thread. If you don't wanna do that you can look for those game sites you mentioned.

Not being a dick but I had a salty day and logging on to see a complaint on this (fairly slow) thread is pretty wild. Have a fucking good day.

Getting mileage out of that pretentious skateboard controller, there will also be snowboarding in the game. Seems a new art style is being used. Anyone even try the board first time 'round?

#BROKEN Hasney 08-08-2010 05:17 PM

The controller was shit. Could only play on the very easiest mode because it had autopilot and moving left or right was stupidly hard to do right. The tricks were fairly good to do, but Ride itself was buggy as fuck as well.

And calm down Kalyx. You just reacted like he insulted your baby.

Kalyx triaD 08-08-2010 05:45 PM

Who's to say what warrants a thread and what doesn't?


As of late, I'm more of a reader than a poster, which is why I don't make threads. The video game forum used to have pretty much everything I wanted to know that's happening in the gaming industry as new threads I could look through, and not a bunch of posts in a 20 page thread. It was better than going to IGN etc. which reports on every single bit of news that I don't want to know about.

I guess I am the only one who feels this way though, so it is not a big deal.

Nobody.

What do you think is going on here? This is the same fucking forum you remember. Now shut the fuck up and look at the Tony Hawk screens.

Fuck. FUCK. Fuckin all Hell cheeseburgers this is so stupid.

Dollars to donuts he'd whine, too, like when people weren't posting in the official comic book movie threads.

But hey, roll with it. a VG spam thread.

#BROKEN Hasney 08-09-2010 01:59 PM

I was with Gohans opinion as even if a thread is made, people tend just to post a link to this one. I just didn't care enough to post as it is an internet message board and will not chnage my life in any way.

But now I like this thread, as Kalyx treating his comments like it was a personal attack has been hilarious. Kudos, Gohan.

Clearly you've never read my reactions to actual personal attacks in Casual.

I was more flabergasted than anything. And I totally couldn't wait to use that word this year.

the problem is, even major news is being posted in here. The fact that it is stickied, makes it seem like it's the right place to post stuff too.

The first sentence of your post is exactly my point though. It used to be I could read about new gaming news that I wanted to read about by reading through threads rather than jumbles of posts. I pretty much never had to go to IGN thanks to the VG forums, but that is no longer the case.

Kalyx triaD 08-09-2010 03:25 PM

You're being overdramatic. Posts that are major eventually get threads. The only 'big' news that doesn't have threads would be Sonic Colors and Virtua Fighter 5, which nobody seems to feel like making threads on.

You can also support your claims by simply listing the major news that have been monopolized by this thread.

Trivia: Once upon a time I was accused of flooding the forum with threads. Same with the movie/TV forum which led to the creation of the Marvel/DC news threads. The issue was making threads on news with little information - which is really what this is all about.

Still, I can understand your position. It'd probably be better if you just make a quick thread for a game and watch people naturally fill it with content. I see you don't really have time for Drakul-type updates but a thread title is all you need (even if people bitched at me for doing just that).

I will also make threads on whatever news this thread has that hasn't got a thread of it's own. With an apology even.

I just can't believe this is a thing.

omfg, dont you think youre being just a LITTLE lazy here? Sure some news gets lost in the mix, but youre complaining because now you may have to open a new tab and type in a web address other than tpww.net?

Cmon man, if video game news is that important to complain about, you should check other websites as well.

#BROKEN Hasney 08-09-2010 04:44 PM

Lol at IGN having video game coverage. Of you want hyper-boyle previews, I can post about how everything is amazing.

#BROKEN Hasney 08-09-2010 04:48 PM

Holy shit you guys. Check out this EXCLUSIVE preview we at IGN have obtained. Motherfucking Busy Scissors for Wii

http://bulk2.destructoid.com/ul/180966-majide.jpg

The control is much tighter than my anus after the butt pleasure I received for writing for writing this preview. 25 cunting hairstyles guys. I CAN FEEL LIKE MY WIIMOTE IS STAINED WITH MY SEMEN DUE TO MY EXCITEMENT.

Game of the year all years.

Review Time:

What the hell is this? 1/10

V 08-09-2010 04:56 PM

Kane Knight 08-09-2010 05:22 PM

So go somewhere else?

Emperor Smeat 08-09-2010 08:16 PM

THQ back to loosing money compared to last year's stronger sales. THQ is looking to either start dropping a few franchises from annual development (ex. UFC Undisputed) or extend development time beyond a year per big name game (once again affects UFC Undisputed the most).

http://kotaku.com/5608555/thq-back-i...nual-ufc-games

Kane Knight 08-09-2010 08:43 PM

Non yearly installments?

How will I get my slightly updated WWE SVR titles then?

WTF! HOW COME YOU DIDNT CREATE A THREAD FOR THIS!? DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH LOWER MY CHANCES ARE OF SEEING THIS NEWS WHEN IT DOESNT HAVE ITS OWN THREAD TITLE!?

Emperor Smeat 08-09-2010 09:31 PM

Well the article is more about THQ loosing money after last year being one of the few times THQ managed profits over a year.

I mean .... I DON'T KNOW SINCE I'M TOO LAZY TO GO SEARCH BEYOND THE 1ST PAGE FOR UFC 2010 GAME. MY TPWW CONTRACT PAYS ME MORE PER RANDOM POST THAN PER THREAD AND BECAUSE YOUR YELLING AND HURT MY FEELINGS I'M GOING TO GO TO A CORNER AND CRY :'(


:shifty: I think I did that right.

Missed that bit :p

I am just stating my opinion. If you guys are ok with the VG forum, just being the VG thread that's cool, I just personally don't like it. It's not a big deal as these series of posts are making it out to be :o

OssMan 08-10-2010 05:34 PM

Saw my friend play this game Demon's Souls, pretty cool game

Kalyx triaD 08-10-2010 05:34 PM

We're not cool with it because that isn't the case.

I hate you, Gohan3k. Hate you much.

V 08-10-2010 05:45 PM

You wouldn't be so annoyed if you didn't think there wasn't some truth in what I say.

Look yourself, there are only a few threads that don't span multiple pages on the first page of the forum. Only the biggest of big news is posted outside this thread now.

Anyway, we really should just drop this.
