"If GFWL keeps the modders/cheaters offline, so be it."

"While it may suck for the average joe gamer, this isn't for them. In my eyes, this is locking away and preserving a piece of video game history. What REALLY sucks are the sellers who sell the game and manual separately to increase profits."

"Never judge a movie or video game by its trailer. (Dead Island anyone?)"

"I have a feeling the third entry will exceed everyone's expectations."

"As a life-long Californian who has been up and down the entire state, I can honestly say that you can't really generalize California as a whole. Parts of it are dirty while other parts are very clean. This applies to any given city as well. Is anyone familiar with Napa, or "wine country" as we're commonly known? We're depicted as a place with a sea of vineyards. While that's true for upvalley, the actual town of Napa is far from that image. Our downtown area looks really nice, but we have ghettos like everyone else."

"Three words: Ring of Fog. Get it. It's one of the most important rings to have in the game. It basically does 3 things: 1) Human players are unable to target you; 2) It makes you transparent and hard to see; and 3) it reduces the range of which enemies will aggro, making places like Blighttown a lot easier (very few of those flying dudes will bother you). I lost my first invasion to a person using this ring. At the time, I wasn't aware of its existence and couldn't understand why I couldn't target them. Now that I have one myself, I haven't lost an invasion yet.

 

Oh, and just a tip: If someone invades your world and you can't target them, RUN!"

"@Pierce: I've never seen Firefly. Regardless, it doesn't change the fact that he's a spitting image of the character, and the majority of Uncharted fans would agree."

"@Michael: Nathan Fillion's personality alone is a spitting image of Nathan Drake, and I'd hardly call "Slither" garbage. Not only that, but he's better known as a TV actor. I like Mark Wahlberg, but he's no Nathan Drake."

"@Andrew: There is no monthly fee anymore, just the price of the PlayPass: Usually $39.99 for unlimited, $5.99 for 3 days or $8.99 for 5 - too pricey! I agree that the pricing needs readjustment."

"@Chris: Latency isn't the issue in my case. My latency is usually around 20ms with no packet loss according to my friend who works there. yet I still experience mouse lag, framerate jerkiness and other hiccups, even when playing something as simple (not to mention single player) as Braid. Also, faster broadband speeds means less video compression, equaling better visual quality. You're basically controlling another system remotely, and higher broadband speeds would definitely benefit that. It's also worth noting that a lot of the games in their library are considered "beta", meaning they might have some issues they're still ironing out.

It's interesting technology, but I too don't want to see OnLive become a standard. I'm not really worried that it will be, however, seeing as you can still go out and buy movies despite Netflix and the like."

"A good friend of mine works at OnLive and has granted me the privilege of what they call a "Golden Ticket," which allows me to download all of their games for free until January 17th. He even threw in a brand new micro console, which is pretty neat (if the 360 and PS3 controller had a baby, it would be the OnLive controller). Despite all of this, I just can't get into the service due to lag and visual quality, all of which depend on the speed of your broadband connection. I presume that this will get better over time as broadband speeds increase (many games have a video compression of around 5Mbps), but like many of you, I prefer the likes of a physical (or even digital) copy. From what I hear, the service also plans to compete with Netflix by offering Blu-ray movies, as made evident by the media controls at the bottom of the controller."
