Hopefully it is something not related to a previously existing series. What else needs to be said in the Metal Gear story?

Another Big Boss game? Gray Fox game? They could literally do a dozen new and interesting MGS game because the timeline is the series is so broad they could easily do interesting prequels/sequels, stand alone missions etc.

It just seems that Phil Fish has a bit of an ego problem. The guy has made one game and acts like he is a big shot in the gaming world.

After seeing the indie game docu it became clear what kind of person he is and i have 0 interest in buying anything put out by him, ego isn't his biggest issue.

This is just fucking disgusting. I just...I can't even...

You know, what the fuck is SO HARD about the idea of peace, love, and brotherhood that people just cannot seem to fucking comprehend? WHAT PART OF IT IS SO FUCKING HARD?

We will never live in a world of peace, love and brotherhood. Although this is tragic it doesn't come to a surprise because this kind of shit happens every day all over the world. It may not be a movie theater it happens in but we live in a corrupt and evil world. Far FAR worse things happen all over this world, this surprises you? no offense but are you sheltered from the outside? do you not read any kind of news outside your state? your country? We live in a FUCKED up world.

Incredibly tragic and my heart goes out to the families, hopefully the medias assumptions on terrorist cell is completely wrong which against wouldn't surprise me since major media outlets don't have the greatest track record of posting the full truth and/or being right half the time. If i was a betting man i would bet it was just a sick individual and when i say i mean he wasn't right in the head. RIP to all those who died and i hope for a quick recovery for the injured.

Lovely. Can't understand why anyone would care about this anymore. Haven't played the extended cut, don't intend to either. Nothing can't fix those 15 last minutes.

I am one of the few who actually enjoyed the original ending.

Haven't played the new cut as well and i don't intend to because i was fine with the ending.

And people thought zynga was bad.

This is beyond pathetic, nothing about this game is original in any way shape or form.

Probably spider.

I get bites like that all the time, don't worry unless it gets bigger or starts to hurt bad. What i do is draw a circle around it and if it gets significantly bigger and grows outside the circle or hurts i will rush to the doctor, seeing as it hasn't and you aren't any real pain i wouldn't worry about it, i literally get 2-3 of these bites at least once a week during summer because i in bucktoothville near woods.

@HydraHam: you do realize they only got equipment a day or two before E3 and they are in the process of setting up a new stage.

Yet they pumped out 8 premium videos in april before all that stuff? 8 videos in 1 month where as may/june had a total of 7. Like i said i understand the move and everything but until more premium content is being put out i don't feel like it's worth paying for. They should do a friday radio show every friday or every other friday, make us WANT to pay, i don't feel i get anything special as of right now.

I would love to come back but there just isn't enough premium content to push me into it, there has been nothing interesting in like 2-3 months. If you guys did Random PC/Load Last save more often i would defiantly sign back up but on a week to week and month to month basis there is really nothing there, the thursday night throw down stuff stays free on justin tv, you guys rarely do friday shows and the consistency between random PC/Load is so far and few between. I understand the whole moving thing but how long has it been? even if you did random PC/Load twice a month and a friday show every other week that's enough for me to pay but you guys just don't put anything out anymore. 7 premium videos in the past 2 months is just not enough content to justify paying and like i said i understand the whole moving thing but in may alone you put out 8 videos.

I will defiantly re-subscribe once you start putting out more content but as of now not enough is coming out for me to want to spend money.

Why would I pay $450 for something that can be bought for $250 from the same store? If you are really in the position where you can not afford to plop down $250 and have to finance that small sum of money over 2 years... then you should not be investing in a video game console in the first place... play all the F2P games on the PC. Or even better... find a better paying job.

Same reason people go to those rent 2 own stores where they end up paying $15000 for a $999 tv in the long run. It's the same reason people use services like HSN and QVC or the billion other buy now for X and pay X monthly services, because people are fucking impatient.

From a logical standpoint i can see why people would do a QVC/HSN buy on lets say a $2000 TV for 5 payments of i don't know $450 w/ small interest from the place where you only end up paying a few hundred more then what you would of paid upfront because throwing a couple of grand at something gets fucking expensive but something like this is just ridiculous but it must make business sense or they wouldn't of done this, it must of done pretty well at those "focus" stores or they wouldn't be rolling it out at all these other stores which brings me back to people are fucking impatient, and stupid.

TL;DR, similar models for more expensive things makes sense, this doesn't. People are stupid and impatient.

I totally get the model, but not at nearly double the price.. i dont see how anyone in their right mind take advantage (or disadvantage) of this deal. I mean thats 45% interest.... you are better off putting it on your credit card, most of which are around 20%... even 2 years out ull pay less to the bank.

Lets not confuse this with the phone company model either... there you are paying for a service... phone service/data etc... wether you buy that iPhone for $200 or not, you will not pay more or less for your service... but as a customer, comitting to the service for 2 years, you get a great deal on the phone $200 instead of $600. That $400 is not subsitized over 2 years, because you dont pay anymore for getting that phone....

Lets say you have a plan for $30 a month. Over 2 years thats $720 over 2 years. For the service. You arent paying anything off... as a thanks they give you a deal on the iPhone.

WIth Xbox though, the Xbox is $250, and they penalize you for committing to 2 years. Especially considering that around Thanksgiving you can usually pick up an xbox for $99 (with $199 down and get 100$ gift card) deals... thats how I picked up my last 2 Xboxes.

The only way this deal would make sense if they went like this.... Xbox $250+ 2 years of XBL (2*60) = $370.... they give you a deal... for comitting for 2 years... and selling you that for $350. So 350-99 = 251/24 = ~$10 a month.

What happens when someone cant make a payment anyways? Does MS go after you?

Complete agree but people are stupid :-/

I have used services like QVC multiple times, i ended up getting a 55" w/ 5 months of payment and in the end i ended up paying about $200 more then i would at a best buy, places like that make perfect sense for big $ purchases but this is just goddamn outrageous but then again look at places like Rent-A-Center where it ends up costing you 2 grand to own a current console if you were to rent to own, we live in a world full of stupid people and if you can make money off stupid people then go for it i guess. Personally as someone who runs a business (similar to geek squad but on a much smaller scale) i make it a point to be fair in price because i don't like to do business like but sadly most of these companies are only there to take your money and as much as possible.

If it is to improve the quality of the game, I'm all for it. And we still have plenty to play from late September to December. Borderlands 2, XCOM, Dishonoured, Assassin's Creed 3, Halo 4. That is plenty for a two month period if you ask me.

But for people who don't care about games like Halo, COD, Borderlands etc. this is a huge blow :( As for quality it's not even 3 months, it comes out in EU in november and i HIGHLY doubt a 2 month push will improve anything, whatever it is, it would be so small it could be patched day 1 like every other game.
