arstal commented on PSN Staying Free, Kids

"SC4 is going to be real interesting how the 360 and PS3 online services work. If the PS3 service is as good as the 360's, I may just dump my 360 for a PS3."

arstal commented on DualShock 3 And Xbox 360 Frankencontrollers

"We REALLY need a 360/PS3 wired controller, so people can take their 360 SC4/SF4 custom sticks and work them on the PS3."

"Give me an orange power ring and I'll play this..."

arstal commented on Rumor: Soulcalibur IV Requires Xbox 360 HDD, Needs 8.5GB Of Disk Space On PS3

"ONe question, if you mod your 360 to expand the HD (annoying, but possible), does that get you kicked off XBL for a hacked console?"

"If it does these two things, I'm all for it, specs be damned -cuts down on in-fight loading."

"I think Konami made TMTF, which was one of the best non-Capcom fighters on the SNES. I have faith they'd do a good job."

"What Ebay should do is just stamp a lawsuit charge on French Ebayers. I've always wondered what would happen if an online company said we're not paying cause you can't make us."

arstal commented on Microsoft: If We Launch A Game On 360 & PC Simultaneously, We Shoot Ourselves In The Foot

"@Gutter_Trash: Your 360 or PS3 controllers with a driver will work in USB ports. Honestly, if SFIV is released for PC in a reasonable timeframe, I'm getting it, I just wonder if the game can be modded."

arstal commented on Microsoft: If We Launch A Game On 360 & PC Simultaneously, We Shoot Ourselves In The Foot

"The only reason I got a 360 over a PS3 was due to VF5, which has served its purpose, and the fear with PS3 netplay for fighting games is crap, which is the only reason I even own a console. The PS3 has a better selection of games for me, but the most important part is done better on the 360 to me (online play) Generally, I don't mind what Microsoft does, the games that tend to get simultaneouses releases are not ones I play much."

arstal commented on The Soulcalibur IV Ladies In Action

"Amy's supposed to me one of the doll vampire types, so while the voice work sucks, it sorta works for the character. Rest of it sounded ok, I'd use the Japanese voices though. The US has been starving for a good commercially released fighter that wasn't some combo crap since VF5 (which scares most people unfortunately), so hopefully this delivers the goods."

arstal commented on Crytek's CEO: Piracy Threatens PC Exclusivity

"Nearly every PC game I've bought with DRM I've ended up pirating to avoid the DRM."

arstal commented on Crytek's CEO: Piracy Threatens PC Exclusivity

"@Leepox: In other words, make a game have replay value. Honestly, as long as smart companies can make profits from PC games, PC games will continue to exist. Stupid companies deserve to lose money, be broken, and go out of business."

arstal commented on Crytek's CEO: Piracy Threatens PC Exclusivity

"Crysis= whiny crybabies to me. As for Stardock, they design their games intelligently, to make a profit, not to make the shiniest game possible."

arstal commented on New Soul Calibur IV Screens: Tits

"@jasoncourt: Most people in the FG genre aren't big into revolutionary concepts anymore- as there's not a lot of trust in the publishers to make it quality. Also there's only so much things you can do to the concept before screwing it up. That said, the FG audience is skewing older and older these days, as it's growing harder for kids to compete against adults with 10+ years of experiences, it's like FPS in that regard."

arstal commented on Disgaea 2 Invades Disgaea 3

"I just see him as a male KOF Vanessa. I enjoyed Disgaea 2, but I play the game backwards- I try to beat the game with as little power as possible. I think I won at like level 20 or something."
