@northArrow Don't you mean WoW/Blizzard is going to get killed by ArenaNet?....thought so. GuildWars 2 is going to stomp on WoW's pathetic panda ass. It just stomped SWTOR, and soon The Secret World will be going down next...LOL, come Aug 28, your going to see a lot more MMOs going FTP. I've been playing GW2 and it's freaking amazing, hands down the best MMO I've ever played.
Everyone knows Mass Effect was a game about choice, and in the end they took that away from us...I felt cheated, I want better endings, different endings where our choices through all three games mattered. If you like how ME3 ended, good for you, now STFU and move along, no one is going to force you to download the new endings. The ME3 fans that felt cheated deserve better than a tacked on half @$$ ending...and I am thrilled that BioWare is going to correct there mistake and give us a proper one.
Lotro is a great great game, it's just the pricing system that I hate, just about everything in the game after lv.40 has to be unlocked with turbine points to be able to progress...you feel like your being nickel and dimed to death. The new expansion sounds great, but with the new MMO's coming ( mainly GuildWars 2 ) I don't see many people going for this. As it is now Lotro is pretty empty, especially at night. Who's going to want to play this when you can play GW2 with a one time purchase, and you have "COMPLETE" access to the full game with nothing to unlock, and no monthly fees. Best of luck Lotro, I know when GW2 is out, I'm done with you.
Maybe I'm old fashioned, but I hate the idea of cloud gaming, I enjoy going the the store and browsing the shelves, reading the boxes, and hold the actual game that I bought in my hands. It's something I've been doing since I was a kid, for me it's going to be a sad day when I can no longer do that. I'm mainly a PC gamer now, but I still only buy retail, I like the idea of actually owning the games that I pay for...I refuse to install steam and Origin, and I'm certainly not going to be "cloud gaming"...ever. I can see how the gaming industry is in love with the idea though, it's the perfect model to stop, or at least control to some degree piracy, and gives them complete control over their product. Clearly though, from the majority of these comments, most people don't want to use a service like Onlive. As a PC gamer I enjoy modding my games, and if I get stuck or can't get past a stage,or boss..etc., I can just download a trainer. Also if I want to play a game on the go I don't have to be worried about connecting to the internet..I play most of my games offline, and I am more than capable of keeping track of my own game saves. I can't do any of these things using a cloud service...so no thanks, the day all gaming is done using a cloud service, is the day I quit being a gamer.
