despite the score, the video review actually makes me more interested in buying or at least renting the game when previously i had no intention of doing either because crysis 2 was a little dissapointing.
"I think it's approximately 60 percent of the customers who have said they wouldn't buy a new console if it didn't play preowned games."
you think, or you know? your answer sounds uncertain to me. id like to see how they are gathering this info. i havent recieved any surveys in my email.
Im sure sony and microsoft have communicated about this and have come to an aggreement that they will either allow or deny used games on their next gen console. they have to be in sync on this, otherwise the console that denys used games will lose sales. so if they do decide to band together on this issue and both consoles deny used games, then the community wont have a choice if they want a next gen console.
awesome article. Im a gamer and a gun owner too, and i couldnt agree more with your insight on violent games vs real world violence. When you are at a shooting range, everything is calm and controled and serious and a bit of caution. no pun intended but its not a game when you fire a real gun. Real violence stems from something else; video games are my antidrug, antianger, a pass time to relax and vent any frustration in my life.
this all started again after that december shooting. violent video games are not the problem, bad parents are. The mom and her kids lived in a rich neighborhood and she was getting plenty of money from her exhusband (250k + per yr) to support her kids, and yet the kid Adam Lanza lived in the **** basement with all the walls covered in military posters of weapons. His barber even said he never spoke and acted sullen and silent, something was wrong with the kid, and the mother wasnt helping him.
Yet he played violent games all the time, so that must be the culprit, right? not the parent who knew her sons mental issues and living situation and his obsession with guns. Not the parent who kept unsecured weapons in the house with a mentally unstable kid who knows how to use them.
100% of the blame for that shooting is on the mom. leave violent games out of it.
