Bullshit! You have any idea how NOT SIMPLE it was just getting my NES cartridges to work?!

I am convinced that everyone had their own set of steps in order to get those damn things to work.

Mine went like this:

#1.) Blow into the cartidge.

#2.) Clap your hands together really hard with the cartridge in between them.

#3.) Place cartridge 3/4 or more into the NES and then SNAP it down into place.

It usually ended up working.

I was really young with my NES and it broke too soon for cartridges to have problems. I never had a SNES, I had a sega genesis. Worked like a charm.



Before the PS3 everyone was nice to me :(

Nice read. Tho unfortunately no matter how great of a game is, there'll always be someone selling their games for reasons such as; need money, don't like to collect and just only need to play it once etc.. cause that's the only reason I can think of as to why there's used copies of Uncharted :P



Idk. He does seem to be knocking it down. He's like if MS does this then yea! I want my cut BUUUT we should REALLY be doing this(insert second qoute here).. but if MS does I want my part too!

Soul Sacrifice is doing the free DLC approach right now, pretty effective I think.

Cut out small portions of the full game and then give them out for free periodically over the course of the first 8-10 weeks. Perfect way to keep your games in people's hands.

Better than making you pay, amiright?

Possible cut out, possible newly created content. They've been doing some big updates too. It is still "free" rather than to charge for it. It is a way to keep people around that's not enethical. Interesting regardless...games used to be so simple.

That happened to me a lot on my Genesis. Recently I cleaned the rust in cartridge connectors with a bit of alcohol and that did the trick for all my old games :p

 

On topic: Microsoft should hear what this fellow Zelnick says.

DLC requires an internet connection, which is one of the biggest complaints against the X1. So no one gonna complain about that? :-|



Thank god, someone with sense. MS, EA and Activision are out to make the industry a bunch of greedy bastards. Not everyones as greedy as them but rather think about how they can make more long lasting games in this day and age.

Activision and EA are the worst offenders, because they put out yearly games so people tend to swap out their titles to Gamestop yearly and sometimes even quicker than that. 



only problem with that logic all gamers arent the same. some gamers keep all their games. some gamers play just to finish no acheivments etc.. i think the retail outlets should have been giving the developers a cut of every sell. what about the people that only buy used games then trade them in for used games?

i dont like the idea of these restriction but we should all agree something has to give.



Smart guy.
