Or has it finally been written off completely in SW? Does it still have its cult following that insist its library is on the same level as PC's/360's/PS3's ?

The characters look like they're made of clay and their clothes look like they're made of wax.

If you can't imagine graphics looking better than that you have a poor imagination.

[QUOTE="AmazonTreeBoa"]Doesn't change the fact that XBL can be hacked. Which was my point.....that somehow you missed :shock:

Hahahahaha. XBox Live wasn't hacked, someone got his password. If I give you my password to my Gamespot account and you log into it, is GS hacked?

Quick, let's hack GS!

So then nothing was "hacked?"

Live wasn't hacked, someone just got a hold of his password and used it to log into his account.

For XBox Live to be "hacked" a hacker, or group of them, would need to break Live's security and compromise the infrastructure... giving them access to user data at no fault whatsoever of those users.

If you trick me into giving you my Live password and you use it to log into my account that doesn't qualify as Live getting hacked, that's just me being an gullible idiot and you being a scumbag thief.

BUT XBL CAN'T BE HACKED!!!!!!!!!:cry::cry::cry::cry:......Oh wait, yes it can. That's just silly fanboys that actually believe it can't be.

I hope you do realize that Pachter was an idiot and basically gave someone his password right?

[QUOTE="Andrew_Xavier"][QUOTE="shinrabanshou"]A lot of sites store birth dates, addresses and names as plain text.

shinrabanshou

I'd love to see them named, paypal doesn't. Amazon doesn't. Hell, XBL doesn't. No business operating in Canada can legally store said information as plain text. Zero encryption? A company that uses such hardcore DRMs can't afford to...encrypt...user data? Right. Believable.

You know how Amazon, PayPal and XBL store data how exactly?

I'd like you to show me the statutes prohibiting the storage of customer information in plain text.

I'd like to jump in here, I have no opinion on this when it comes to fanboy argument nonsense (I'm a big fan of all 3 consoles personally) but I can answer the first question (as if it were directed towards me to begin with) - they absolutely do. I have no idea how much truth there is to Sony storing sensitive personal information in simple text files but if that's true it's so insane it's barely believable - it would border on the criminally stupid.

Paypal is actually linked directly to many checking accounts so it would be extremely dangerous not to encrypt and protect user data. Amazon issues their own credit cards, Paypal might as well.
There have been numerous attempts to hack Paypal and Amazon precisely because of the value of the data they hold. In recent "messing with their site" history you might remember that whole drama with Amazon a few months ago, too, where "anyonymous" or whatever those fools tried to bring the site down (and failed,) not that that has anything to do with them trying to run off with sensitive info so much as it is an attempt to temporarily crash the site.... but still Paypal and Amazon are two of the largest hacking targets there are.

I remember them giving the first one something like an 8.5

I bought it and thought, compared to other FPS's (forget about PC's here even, I'm just talking about consoles even) it was completely lackluster. Not good at all.

It would be insane it it didn't.

By the time it comes out it will be of the generation following the Wii/PS3/360, so if it was less powerful than the current generation we have now it would be like the Wii being weaker than the PS2.

The Wii 2 needs to be worrying about competing with whatever follows the PS3 and 360, it shouldn't be worried about competing with last generation tech (and this gen will be last gen by the time it comes out.)

More powerful than Xbox 360 and PS3 = 1/4 as powerful as Xbox 720 and PS4.Timstuff

Hahaha, seriously. Nintendo's next generation console might be a little more powerful than current generation consoles?!? STOP THE PRESSES!

That's like if before the Wii came out one of the marketing points was "Wii... more powerful than the PS2!"

Being able to compete with what will be (when it is released) last generation technology is the opposite of impressive.

What if your character died in ME2? I'd like to see how they bring him back to life.

brickdoctor

They won't, you just won't be able to import the character. You'll have to start the Shepard character from scratch as if you'd never played ME2.

The Wii is by far the worst "most popular" console of all time, bar none.

Imagine if the PS2 had the same low level of AA's and AAA's the Wii has received, it's nuts.

Then again, the Wii is the only console I own that hasn't broken down (had 2 360's and 1 PS3crap the bed.) Then again, that could be from lack of use.
