  You can feel it when you drive in-game (GT5), tracks are usually super smooth (not all of them) compared to regular roads, it's only the curbs that are more rough. Reply 0

• Asda drops Wii U price to just £149/£199

• Bigmac1910 02/05/2013

  Once the premium hits £199 with Super Mario or Monster Hunter then I think it will be worth it. Getting close but not there yet. Reply +1

  Excellent article.
  
  I don't think it will take off when your average person can't even be bothered to put on a pair of 3D glasses. I also wonder if this is just too close to reality in one way, but in the end only offers 1% of what we expect reality to be. Are these problems solvable? I don't think so, until we get the holodeck, now that is Virtual Reality. Reply 0

• Fuse doesn't have micro-transactions or an online pass

• Bigmac1910 09/04/2013

  I'm going to try it just because it's Insomniac, but man does it look generic. Reply +4

• Saturday Soapbox: The high cost of high standards

• Bigmac1910 06/04/2013

  Or maybe, Tomb Raider was just too violent and too little exploration. Thats why I didn't buy it. I've seen a growing trend where games are just becoming more and more violent, and I think people had enough, and are voting with their wallets.
  
  Also, lets not forget the nickel and diming with online passes, season passes, unbalanced pre-order bonuses from different retailers etc. I think there is more to this story than "teh grafics" is not good enough. Reply +25

• HMV could be rescued this morning in £50 million Hilco buyout

• Bigmac1910 05/04/2013

  That's good news, but they better lower their prices and start to compete with online prices, or this situation will happen soon again. Reply +3

  Danielhorvath is mostly correct. Here is link to a Neogaf poster and at the end there is a link to the PDF about this law.

• Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate review

• Bigmac1910 18/03/2013

  I wish the 3DS version had online, as I don't have a Wii U, and it's not as much fun solo.
  
  EDIT: So I'm going give this a miss on my 3DS unfortunately. Reply 0

• Bigmac1910 15/03/2013

  Hmm... interesting, might have to get one for my Note 2 just to try it out. As long as as it's not too expensive. Reply +2

  Sounds like a fair score, finally a review without some ass kissing. This game will need a lot of patches to work properly. Reply +27

• Amid growing anger at micro-transactions, CliffyB calls on gamers to vote with their wallets

• Bigmac1910 01/03/2013

  It depends on how its handled, In TF2 it's only cosmetic items that cost, then it doesn't matter how much, one can just ignore it.
  
  EA on the other hand charges for things that break game play, like the Real Racing 3 implementation, you can't even play the game for an hour straight without paying real money. Reply +44

  Such a wasted potential, I hope it gets lots of 1 stars and they will have to change the business model. Reply +5

• EA Warhammer spin-off Wrath of Heroes shuts down next month

• Bigmac1910 28/02/2013

  @Deadite It has been in beta forever(at least a year I think), and they have been charging money for characters and in game items as well.
  
  But the biggest problem was greed, p2w items and lack of balance. And the fact that they didn't listen to the players on top of that is the reason for the shutdown.
  
  EDIT: It was actually kinda fun, but the execution was terrible. Reply +5

• EA putting micro-transactions "into all of our games"

• Bigmac1910 27/02/2013

  "I managed to complete the game without spending any extra and never felt like I'd been held back, but by the same token there were plenty of moments where I fell just short of what was needed."
  
  LOL! Really? Are you guys trying to cater to the ultra casuals who has never pressed a button on a controller in their lives? Or did you just forget to actually BALANCE your game properly. Reply +2

• PlayStation Diablo 3 may not connect to Battle.net at all

  Sounds awesome, I will finally be able to buy it then, and don't have to worry about loot that is either useless or have to be purchased on the AH. Reply +3
