    ive just skimmed over this board....cuz i ts late and plus i have to go work....but ill throw in my to cents

    59.99 for an x360 game.....really it isnt all that bad
    i can remember when the ps2 shipped and even xbox to some degree, alot of the games were selling for more than 49.99, but as soon as the hype dropped and the second generation games rolled out...the prices dropped.

    also,...remember the 16 bit rpg days...when a good rpg went for 70 bucks

    and the n64...the games for that were rarely under 55 dollars

    so i think we shouldnt be bitching about this, really its not that bad

    at least we arent paying 200-300 dollars per game like the neo-geo*

    *that will come with the ps4

    i liked perfect dark alot, and i played the multiplayer to death. Yeah, it have crappy frame rates, but you just can't say it's a bad game, imo. The single player was more intersting and less repeatitive than goldeneye's single player. It wasn't just ''Destroy this'' ''take that'' ''Defeat him'' the guns where great and the gameplay too. it felt less ''cheap-shot'' than golden eye, the replay value was also higher, if you tried the game on a higher level in goldeneye, enemies where always as dumb, but just more ridiculously resistant to guns, in infinite number, and could still kill you after you pressed the pause button.

    i don't say golden eye is a bad game, not at all, i just feel that perfect dark is way under-rated.

    as for pd0, i think it will suck.

    Lmao I remember the best thing ever was in Goldeneye, I shot an enemy in the head and he grabbed his foot, then shot another in the foot and he grabbed his crotch lolololo.

    Yeah PD0, I'm hoping it'll be as good or better then PD, but to me the charactars and things are looking a little unapealing.....but who knows.

    Yea i remember, but that was cuz ROM carts were way too expensive at the time, and a 32Mb cart like the one in SSF2 was too expensive to make, let alone the RPgs, some of em were 64Mbs

    Now the problem its diferent, cuz in this new generation the production costs are said to go up a 40%. Think that, between the 16bits and the 32bits the increase was a mere 3%, and sometimes zero.

    Lets say the resistance is futile :smt071
