I want Blizzard to make Warcraft 4 already. It's been 10years since the release of WC3 and it's getting harder to find games to play with people since the average players on WC3 is around 25k at any given time compared to over 200k+ prior to the release of the MMO.

Man I want a nice LED monitor to play Xbox on

I noticed that a LED monitor could cost ~$200 vs a ~$400 TV about the same size 22"-24"

Hey man when you get the chance you think you could let me know how the game is, please?
I've been reading some mixed reviews on this and not sure whether NG3 is worth picking up.

K, to answer this question. I just finished playing up til Day 3 about 2hrs (it goes by Days instead of Chapters). They added several new features, which are interesting... but is it something to go "Wow" bout? No, not really. I haven't played multi play (yet), so I can't give you the review on that.

Is it worth $60? No, don't think worth $60 at all. $40~$45? Yes, under $50 is this game price for sure.

Now, time for AC5

I think I'll hold out on it. Not many people are taking a liking to it and I've been hearing the online play doesn't work at the moment. Yet no one has mentioned the DOA demo.
Thanks.

Oh DOA demo... they added annoying features in game play. Cinema view, it's great! But overall it's just annoying. I only got Hitomi & Hayabusa, but they have long way before bringing the final ver (a lots of bugs). If they do sell the final ver like that, I'll prob buy it, but only regular edi and not special/limited/collector edi.

Just got ACV and it's very confusing @__@

You know what man, I never really got the point of putting out limited or collector's edition games, that is of course if its a long successful game series. Other than that I would never pay an extra 20-50+ dollars on top of a $60 retailed priced game for a piece of paper and some little memorabilia item.

And I like how you said, "Cinema view, it's great! But overall it's just annoying."

Just finish playing NG3 game through story mode (normal mode). Plot... not bad, but they could of done a lot better. Game play... some areas were really easy & some areas I really wanted to throw my controller at the TV. They didn't even out the level of stages well. Final boss? WTF... seriously WTF! semi-final boss was harder to beat than final boss.

Also I played few online and... they sure failed on that one.

Now time to move on to Armor Core 5...

I'm skeptical...all I can say.

I've lost a lot of faith in Blizzard nowadays.
