I'm not even a Megaman player, but I've seen Megaman X in action at a friend's house. If my gallbladder hadn't already died, that would have done it. |

![]() No seriously, it just seems as though the Koreans always get the worst of the worst when it comes to MMOs. I mean hell, I remember hearing a story of a guy killing himself through sleep deprivation on an MMO binge and the net cafe he was playing at didn't even really do anything about it at all until a fair bit after he was dead. It's not even just the players, sometimes the games themselves are so fucked up that they capitalize on MMO addiction to milk players out of real life money besides subscription charges - I can still vaugely remember this one story I heard about an MMO which requires real money to open chests of all things (well granted, TF2 does this too, but being a FTP game now it's a bit easier to excuse it for. A bit). I know it's kinda hard to say it without coming off as some kind of a racist prick, but goddamn the Koreans just piss me right the fuck off when it comes to gaming news. I don't know how they do it, but every time I hear about them it somehow manages to make me lose a little more faith in humanity each time. |

Guys that MMO story is from March. And I think it was posted here at that time, too. |

I remember posting a story about a couple selling kids for money to pay for their MMOs but not outright letting the kid die. |

Interesting little tidbit. The developers of Metal Gear Rising is none other than Platinum Games, and now comes with a new subtitle: Revengeance. It plays more like Devil May Cry than a Metal Gear game, but since it's Raidan at the starring role, maybe that's a good thing. |

There's one thing I really hate about the new 360 interface, well more than that. Going into "my games", just spreads them all left to right, you can't categorize them at all. It's all alphabetical, which makes finding the demo you just downloaded annoying to find. And searching on bing by speaking isn't working at all. Youtube should be a launch app and at least free, not an app coming later on for a price (if any). You can do it for free on a Ps3, so why charge for things like tha.... oh wait, it's microsoft.. the same people that charged you $99 for a wireless setup and $50 a year to play online. |

And because of those prices, Microsoft can afford to upgrade Xbox Live so we don't see another fuck up like Sony did and NOT update their security at all. The price of security. |

But that's just bs justification. Sony pissed off hackers for wanting to punish that Geohot guy who jailbroke the system, and then they had a shitload of those hackers on their hands. If it were the other way around, it would have all gone down the same way. If hackers want to breach something, they will. They'll breach any kind of security, no matter how much money you throw at Microsoft for things you shouldn't have to pay for. Just like iphones, hacked right away. And how much money do you think apple has? The 360 has already been "hacked" or jailbroken a long time ago. They can download whatever they want and play it on the system. Thing is, Microsoft never did anything about it when it happened. Edited by Havoc the Tenrec, Dec 11 2011, 02:59 PM.

As well as the fact that account theft and 360 hacks have become more frequent since the PS3 business. Making people pay for Live isn't a price for security considering the 360 is just as unprotected as the PS3. Nothing is unhackable and while it's an inevitability, Microsoft hasn't done anything out of the way to ensure security for it's customers. I don't think charging people extra money for a few extra bells and whistles on their interface really counts. |

Honestly, I want Black Isle to revive so they can begin making games like Neverwinter Nights or Icewind Dale with current graphics and upgraded interface while retaining one thing they've always had: their awesome dialog.

After Black Isle was closed down, former members of it formed Obsidian, which developed NWN2. |
