Not everything you like is "epic"

Not everything you dislike is "fail"

Sequels are better than remakes/ports

SEGA is more than just Sonic

Don't pay for DLC

Don't pay for xbox live

Don't buy games with peripherals new

Don't buy special editions

Don't buy games through digital distribution unless that's the only way to get a game

Are you financially invested in Nintendo/Sony/Microsoft stock? No? Then quit defending their consoles with your life.

Don't let anyone convince you to buy a game to "support the developer". Buy games because you'd have fun with them.

Leave the Wii grandpas and soccer moms alone. They're not hurting anyone,

Leave the bloody games alone. They're rated M for a reason. Read the box before buying it.

Amen good sir.

Truth #11 is my favorite. Supporting a developer by buying a game you don't even want is completely backwards, and I'll never understand why people use that argument so much.

"Don't pay for DLC"

Unless it's Rock Band track packs.

#3 so true... I just picked up a remake of FF2 (well FF IV) today simply because they are finally sequeling off of it and I wanted to 'relive' the experience. I hope it turns out good.

#6 - but then I wouldn't get streaming netflix on my big TV without having to drag a computer down to it *sniff

#9 - Or it is SO cheap you can't pass it up. Like getting Half Life for $1. The only steam game I bought.

#11 - Yeah, i can't figure out why people buy games if they aren't going to have fun with them.

One more: Consoles' successes are not dictated by their economic status.

I may not agree 100% with every line, but all in all, well said!

No Xbox Live = No co-op in RE5

I disagree with four through nine.

...well said. I'm glad someone has a sense of realism.

I can see where you guys are coming from with your dissents. I appreciate the agreements and the fact that all of you cared enough about this to not only read it but say something about it.

Is he saying that i should not pay for lost and the damned for GTA4? That is like a whole other game why would he say that?

also
"One more: Consoles' successes are not dictated by their economic status."
Um yes it is look at the Dreamcast which is my favorite console, yet it stilled failed because noone bought one causing it to be economically unsound to continue.
