They should be blaming themselves. I actually was thinking of getting the XperiaZ2; it's a great phone: sleek, clean, 1080p screen, built in waterproofing! Buy dumbfuck Sony doesn't think it's a good idea to partner with US cellphone carriers, so of course they had jack shit on display at any of the local verizon stores--I just ended up buying a Samsung Galaxy. Sony makes it a pain in the ass to buy their phones!

This should serve as a warning to cows as to just how precarious their precious Sony really is. One thriving division can't make up for a dozen failing ones.

Is the second one actually any better? I mean, really!? It seems like it's even more fucking moronic with even shittier character designs, but I've heard otherwise.

Don't know what you're talking about. I have 242hrs in the game, and that's pretty damn low compared to a lot of the people on it. It's not hard to find people that have put 500+hrs into the game.

I wouldn't. They changed the game mechanics way too much, making dragging borderline useless and encouraging feints way too much (fuckin feinters!!).

I am a god at the game btw. No one fucks with me when I gots my bardiche, and I love playing as the archer: everyone always assume that I am poor, lowly archer that doesn't have a clue what to do when in melee....I shoot em once, then stab the living shit out of them while parrying all their pathetic attacks!! HAHAHAHA!!!

lol, he couldn't have just said people like free shit? What an asshat.

Not really. Frequent drops between 60fps down to the 30s-40s is VERY jarring and noticeable. I hate to say it, but with that kind of framerate, they should have just locked it at 30fps.

So is Farmville, yet you're not gonna hear any of us crying because it gets a low review score. I don't think you understand how the game is played. People have to actually be hyped for the game in order for it to flop. People were insanely hyped for Destiny. Like I said, if Star Citizen flops, then you can get on the forums and laugh all you want at us PC guys, but the Sims 4? Nobody here gives a shit about the game and its floppage--hell, many of us are probably ecstatic that it flopped! Maybe it'll actually convince EA to not **** up the next game.

As for the used game thing. Hardly conclusive? What's there to conclude? You said used games aren't worse than piracy. I provided a very clear example of how they are (companies having to pay for server maintenance on online games for people who didn't give them any money). A non-multiplayer used game isn't any worse than piracy though. Piracy and used games: either way, the developer ends up with no money from the sale.

Except it's actually worse. Not only do the developers/publishers get absolutely no money from the sale of a used game, but they also have to pay to maintain the servers that people with used copies play on (assuming the game has some multiplayer component); it's the reason EA and other companies started including a pass that only allowed people who bought the game new to play online.

And who gives a shit about the Sims 4!? Now if Wasteland 2, Star Citizen, Elite Dangerous, or Pillars of Eternity flops...then you'll have a case, but the Sims 4? lulz

Wasn't it actually far less? Like 45mins to an hour? I thought the people getting four hours only got it as a result of replaying the same mission over and over.

Yeah, but the thing overheats like crazy. The GPU is wasted due to thermal throttling. It'll be a great little computer in a few generations, but atm, it's just too ahead of its time.
