I don't agree he is sick. However, I believe he doesn't deserve attention, since he obviously wants it. This article should go ignored and so should this mod. I doubt many gamers would care about shooting AI that doesn't fight back.
@amazingmao: I'm not speaking on the matter of whether or not one deserves a star. I'm just pointing out that it isn't being used in the manner it was intended to. I also felt I needed to point out it is a misconception to believe that anyone with a star will have perfect grammar, spelling, opinions, or what have you.
My name has no bearing on anything in this subject, it is just merely to sound humourous.
Bottom line as you put it, I just felt I needed to tell people that a star commenter won't be some saint that does everything perfect nor does it dignify a poster in any manner.
@Thanatophage: Well, it doesn't take much to get starred sometimes. It mainly comes down to: -getting 1 insightful comment that gets comment of the week -Something truly insightful -Agreeing and defending the editors -Beating dukakis to a pun
Spelling issues and grammar errors happen to everyone from time to time and you may even see people forgo them just so they can post ASAP. For example, I'm sure I've made plenty of mistakes and grammar errors, but it doesn't really matter to me.
Some people post so much they don't even try or they are drunk, tired, bored, etc..
@KingHippo: Leaving a rechargeable battery overcharging overnight is bad for the battery's life. It'd only make the short battery life worse when you really do need to need to use it as a portable. The short battery life is a valid complaint. The one thing I'm curious about is if there's a battery save function similar to the PSP's which worked when the battery died (not completely dead, but dead enough to not power it). This, worked fine on the PSP unless you left it uncharged for prolonged periods. Otherwise, I think the short battery life is even worse than what is exaggerated here.
@Kadin: There is no rule. Most just agree to use timers to keep it going since many people can take their time planning several moves ahead and making multiple plans if the opponent moves to x, z, a, g, etc. People can take all the time they want, which is why most just put timers in place for tourneys to prevent using that as a means to delay when they see their loss is coming. Good players will resign if they are close to being mated and have no way out of it.
@piecesofwork: Well, according to some impressions from the other RE game, this isn't full analog aiming while moving due to 1 analog stick. It has like a strafe button that locks your viewpoint and this lets you move around with the analog while your viewpoint stays stationary so you can line up shots. So it is a "sort of" move and shoot mechanic.
@louisoquinn: I highly doubt you get 6+ hours of battery life with the original battery, unless you're not gaming with it. My original battery was roughly 6 years old and it couldn't really hold more than 2 hours when gaming. I had to get a new one.
@Paradox me: Age affects it too, since the battery eventually loses its charge over time, and if you only powered it on a few times, I'll assume you let the battery die fully several times. The battery dying (fully) also decreases the life span of the battery. You're suppose to charge to full after its mostly drained and not constantly charge a battery after it has lost a slight amount.
@jayntampa: The original DS only had backlight on one setting, and it was very dim. You could only turn it off or on. Battery life wasn't 3~5 with it on.
@Muhti: The lag is there but mostly unnoticeable to people who aren't familiar with input delay and such. It is really noticeable when you start getting into the twitch based games like a FPS and similar action games. I don't recommend it for Rhythm games, FPS, and 3rd person action games. 3rd person action should be fine if its slow paced in some manner. Bandwidth, you'll need tons since the stream is heavy. I don't recommend it to someone with bandwidth limits.
@legendnthemaking: As I understand it, a firmware update won't do anything. They said they can downgrade everything they want, then tell the system to lie to itself that it has the latest firmware update required to run whatever they want. There's a weakness on this check and they simply exploited it.
@kyosen: I highly doubt they'll get around to the monthly additions of content unless they have nearly no bugs upon release. Most MMOs have tons of bugs and take a while to sort out whilst hopefully adding updates. I think this'll likely end up with most people using up the free month and never returning to it again if it doesn't live up to their expectations.
For your decision on which one, I'd go with whichever you'd feel more comfortable playing since you'll be sitting on your ass a lot in MMOs...
