I don't see what the big deal is, I love playing games online only. OH WAIT, I don't. And nobody does. I haven't seen one affirming comment here, and why would I expect to? It's totally absurd how disconnected game studios are to their constituency.
I have loved Maxis and played so many of their sim games, but they're like a band who is 4 albums deep that suddenly decides to "pop" their sound. It's not the music that gave me reason to listen to you before, and I'm not buying it.
Cammie - incapable of answering negatively posed questions. You should be a politician. Phil - a man after my own heart. I buy what Phil is sellin' when he says companies don't pursue "wowing" the audience anymore. This has been my biggest peeve with gaming this generation. Look, I love Halo and Final Fantasy a lot, but when you waste time churning out spinoffs for your already-sequeled franchise where you could be innovating and potentially delivering the foundation of tomorrow's trail-blazing titles, then you have revealed a hand that only proves you to care more about some quick bank than about contributing to the future of your industry (not to mention honoring the loyalty of your fans.)
here's the blueprint... hang out with real people. watch some game. laugh at some commercials. get my snack on. not play the xbox. not own a wii. understand that games will be there when the superbowl and a bunch of buddies are not.
comp users are afraid of change. vista is not that bad, just different than windows xp. looks like 7 is gonna resemble vista enough that those complainers get to keep complaining!
