Hey, old rock musicians need money to eat, too! Or buy heroin. Whichever.

Quite the trouble considering that a high-end pc nowadays can run you double the money you would spend buying those three consoles...

@mackattack93: Exactly what I was thinking, even if this game sold like a regular XBL title, it probably would've broken sales records.

Still, totally worth your 20 clams.

I don't think there's been a bug free game since like 1990, and if there was, I'm pretty sure that GTA games are not one of them.

Man's got a point, most people who love their gta came to love it in a ps2.

@AnonAMoose: If that's true, then he's just setting up his working one for another rrod, putting it in that place.

If it's not true then, well, at least he has spares.

In my mind, any flick that doesn't have the words 'uwe' or 'boll' in it, has a chance of making it.

For god's sake, it was just a throwaway comment, the guy couldn't give two flying fucks about rock band or gh, so why all the fuss?

They REALLY should fire that translator (assuming that they used one, and didn't translate this thing online-which, imo, would give you a translation close to this one), because I'm pretty sure no one speaks spanish like that.

Mon, 31 Mar 2008 18:24:13 MDT

The 'acclaimed' part may be a bit of a stretch, imo.

Still, definitely worth your 5 bucks.

Sun, 23 Mar 2008 12:57:58 MDT

That'd have to be Grim Fandango, which took me like 4 months to beat. Good times.

20k is too much for me, and most of you.

Now, for $20,00, like the site says, I'd be willing to consider it.

Makes sense, as PES mainly sells copies by the truckloads on every country that's, you know, not the US, and most of these countries still use plain ol' analog signals.

monkey_87 commented on EA Customer Service So Awful, So Awesome

Thu, 24 Jan 2008 06:19:58 MST

So... shipping an empty box three times ends up costing too much for EA, but if you don't send your guitar back, they charge you $125 for it?

monkey_87 commented on American No More Heroes Manual Is A Black & White Disappointment

Wed, 23 Jan 2008 21:58:14 MST

'Was saving a buck or two on printing costs really worth the inevitable disappointment, Ubisoft?'

Considering that close to no one is going to actually buy this game, and that half of those people(or much less) couldn't care less about the instruction manual, then yes, yes it was.

Don't get me wrong, I would've loved the original booklet, but how many of you (besides Plunkett and maybe 3 more people) actually knew/cared about this before reading this post?

monkey_87 commented on Guitar (Lessons) Hero

Tue, 22 Jan 2008 04:18:56 MST

@Witzbold: Yeah, I played also Drum Mania after playing the real thing for 4 years, sucked at it for 20 seconds, got bored of it, and failed the easiest song.

The difference is, when you finish playing drums on Rock Band, you won't, as Harmonix would lead you to believe, be able to play the real thing just as well, but at least you can take some part of it and relate it to playing a full-sized set of drums, even if it is very little compared to what the real thing can provide.

GH, on the other hand, has no discernible relation between those five-coloured buttons and a full-sized guitar.

monkey_87 commented on Jade Empire 2 In Development At BioWare

Mon, 31 Dec 2007 06:46:08 MST

I loved the art direction in that game, but the 'RPG' element kind of sucked, as did the button-mashing combat mechanics.

Besides, all the time I was playing it I couldn't help myself thinking why the hell Bioware decided to do this meh game instead of a proper sequel to Kotor(y' know, one that actually has an ending).

I didn't need a new console until my 360 RROD three days ago.

Merry Christmas to you too, Microsoft.

monkey_87 commented on Xbox Live Error Message Pisses Off Japan

Tue, 11 Dec 2007 10:43:00 MST

@SPni - Bored, Tired and slightly drunk!: only difference is that Microsoft doesn't give a crap about argentinians and isn't bringing the console to the country. Ergo, no Live.
So, you see, even if we wanted to make a fuss about which country holds control over Falklands/Malvinas via Xbox Live, Microsoft has wised up beforehand and ignored all 40 million of us.
