When it was first announced, I also thought it was going to a 10 hour escort mission. And NO ONE likes escort missions. No one. Glad that doesn't seem to be the case though.
Being completely honest, I've never played a Bioshock game. Figured I'd give this a go.
They always catch me eventually. Luckily, I'm a smooth talker
I'm like a professional class skipper. In the most extreme case, I spent an hour and a half in the handicapped stall in the girl's restroom...to avoid a test
Haha my preferences are just all over the place.
High school. Last year. Thank god.
Ahhh my second favorite Motley Crue song. Perfect.
I think it's pretty safe to say this concept of "always on" DRM isn't going away. Granted, there's still a lot we don't know about which direction Sony and Microsoft are going to take this with their consoles, but we might as well start getting it in our heads now that this will be implemented in some way.
I think you're definitely right in saying that it'll take some of the heat off Sony and Microsoft by leaving such things to the publishers, like Sim City. That being said, the responsibility should fall on the publisher to ensure a quality play experience for their paying consumers.
But the thing that's most irritating for me, especially in the case of Sim City, is that server problems have been known to occur. It's not like such things are unheard of. It's happened with WoW, and Diablo III. So you would THINK this would of have been anticipated to allow for as smooth a launch as possible, but that just didn't happen. Hopefully there will be some kind of remedy for this, and publishers won't keep falling into this same disaster launch trap.
There's definitely a disconnect when it comes to the critiquing of games and movies, especially when it comes to sexuality. I think it could be a result of the people doing the critiquing not really being entirely educated on the source material.
Here's a completely off topic example: PETA. They go on and on about the mistreatment of animals in video games, but half the time they don't even know what they're talking about. They were quick to call out Modern Warfare 2 for the favela section when you have to shoot a dog, but proceeded to give Fable 2 the award of "most animal friendly game" because it promotes a vegan lifestyle and you have a canine companion. But it's obvious they were only looking on the surface and didn't actually do all their research, because there's an achievement in the game called "Chicken Kicker"....which you get, by kicking chickens. Obviously. Boy do they know their stuff...
