    In reply to Gamers Not Happy With Japanese Modern Warfare 2
    Its similar to what happened in China with Halo 3 and everyone getting pissed that it was just Chinese only. I think it was China. But lots of folks spoke up about it which eventually led to a version with the English being put back in.

    Its the same reason why in Japan folks watch US movies in English with subtitles. Folks want to hear the dialog in its original form.

    Looks like they hired a total dunce for the translation work also from that small screenshots of the No Russian version.

    What I can imagine about Japanese saying the Japanese version of the voices being boring is the fact that unlike our folks who serve in the military the dialog just isnt as "colorful" so to speak when turned into Japanese. Plus most of the folks who are speaking up / whining / whatever you want to call it are from the group of folks who watch films like Full Metal Jacket, Black Hawk Down, etc.

    Though I do totally understand their want to have the original dialog in there also. Since its a big part of the experience and having poorly done translations and or dubbing does kill the overall mood of the game itself.

    Interesting. When it happens the other way around, with a natively Japanese game coming to North America, I tend to prefer using the original VO with English subtitles. I suppose it's all in the translation though, and a shitty subtitle track would kill it.

    I don't know why they can't just keep the language intact. Offer the option for a subtitle track, and call it a day. If a game was produced in Japan, I want the audio in Japanese. The same goes for anywhere, if the UK produces a game, having American accents would bother me. Just because I'm in a different country doesn't mean I can't enjoy a game as it was meant to be.

    Also, the screen shot is from the best mission in the game, IMO.

    In reply to Borderlands: The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned Micro-Review: Brains Optional
    Borderlands is a great game, but I feel like they had no idea what they were doing with this DLC. The core fun of the game is the RPG loot grind, and there is no new loot to grab in this DLC. I myself had already played to level 50, so all they're offering is a new area with new enemies...new challenges, in a game that bases its fun factor on rewards.

    If anything, they should have hollowed out around where the area the disc is, to save any punctures or holes to the back of the casing that could possibly scratch / damage the disc. Or have the right hand side be hollow and spaced for the manual, and shove the game on the left.

    *shrugs*

    If you look after your games and are fortunate to get them brand new, then this new case design shouldn't matter. Because unless your using electric power drills to get a hold of your disc whilst the case is closed, or having sex with your cases - your discs should be fine and stay hole free.

    In reply to FIFA 10 Sells "More Than" 4.5 Million Worldwide
    And there is still people that say sports games are going downhill because they are released every year, they are glorified roster updates etc, etc, etc ...

    Like it or not until 4.5 million people agree with you and stop buying these titles yearly, EA will continue to make a killing off their sports titles.

    As a CEO of a company (in this case EA) would you put a stop to yearly releases if they were selling these type of numbers??

    I am surprised at the amount of backlash the "going green" movement is receiving. If some of the comments in here are any indicator, its going to be one hell of a transition before we get anywhere near a perfectly ecofriendly society (or industry).

    @Marios_shadow: Not at the moment, no.

    However, we are going to hit a point in this world where it will no longer be an option, but rather the only choice left to make, if we are to continue existing on this planet.

    Although, that will probably not be reached within our lifetime.

    @Terrorsaur - Five Six: Yea, Marios_shadow is right, there is no such thing as a perfect ecofriendly society. Infact, most of the eco friendly movement is just tricking people into buying more expensive products that really don't effect the planet in any significant way.

    ...and I'm not even a conspiracy theorist!

    @(Zombie) D Mitsuki, Gotta have guts kid!: The most ecofriendly society we could achieve would be no society (read: no humans) whatsoever. As it is, I see no reason to believe that we won't continue on more or less the same course for several hundred years till we make the planet uninhabitable (for humans). Regardless, life will go on, and for far longer than our species ever will.

    In reply to Changing Video Game Cases Go For The Green
    I got Modern Warfare 2 and noticed this new type of DVD case. I thought that they (Activision or Microsoft or whoever makes the cases) were just looking for a way to cut costs; it makes sense as an environmental measure as well.

    I'm not really sure what all the complaining related to these cases is about. The chance that something is going to not only poke through the backside of the case, but poke through far enough to touch the disc is tiny. Seeing as how games are usually bundled in packs of about ten in a small cardboard box I'd say the chances of this happening during shipping are nil.

    Current DVD cases aren't all that wonderful anyway. I've picked up a game many times and heard the disc rattling around in the case. Needless to say that game was quickly put down and another picked up. I've also had problems with getting games/movies out of DVD cases, and there have been times when I felt as though I would break the disc trying to get it out of the case.

    And if the quality of game cases is such an issue I would expect a lot more PC gamers to be complaining. Although I'm sure many PC gamers have moved onto a digital distribution service, those who still buy a boxed copy of game often find their disc is protected by nothing more than a paper sleeve.

    All in all I don't see any issues with this, if this helps to cut down on the amount of materials then I'm all for it. This is right in line with the "shrinkage" of the boxes PC games come in that happened a number of years ago.

    @AOClaus: The major area they select to eliminate from the new design is fundamentally detrimental to the functionality of the package itself.

    Personally, I doesn't bother me much, but it seems to me that if they wanted to reduce packaging costs they'd simply make a smaller box. DVD cases are stupidly oversized as it is, so why not just reduce the height by 30% instead of putting holes in the box that expose the very thing it was designed to protect...

    They do it this way, I would guess, because they don't have to invest in all new manufacturing equipment for making the boxes themselves. To me it's a half measure done half-assed.

    It's not the end of the world, it's just stupid design.

    @stranger: I'm inclined to agree. I'm also inclined to agree with posts I saw below which stated that they should do away with manuals which would decrease costs, cut down on materials, and allow for the shrinkage of the game case.
