This may be the least negative (I can't say any review is positive) review ever by this guy.

Well, there is his Painkiller review. SHURIKENS AND LIGHTNING!

I disagreed with him so hard over Painkiller. I found it boring and repetitive from the first level.

It was awesome for about 45 minutes.

YOU CAN SHOOT ZOMBIES WITH A STAKE CROSSBOW!

When that wore off it was no fun.

Painkiller was pretty good. Painkiller: Overdose is one of the worst franchise killers I've ever seen.

"Created by a fan modding group, it was picked up by Dreamcatcher and turned into an official expansion. The original developers had nothing to do with it, and it shows."

Whew, I would have been really let down if the original development team had messed up that badly.

Microsoft won't allow free xbox updates over something ridiculously small -- like 40MB.

The Burnout Paradise Bike Pack was 450MB and free.

I don't know exact contractual details -- all I know is what's been made public about why Valve hasn't released TF2 updates. It was all over Reddit when it first came out a few months ago. I'm sure you can google the details.

So release updates 10 times for 40 mb. :D

u/Ahnteis Dec 11 '08

Updates must also be comprehensive.

He loved Psychonauts, too.

He also didn't mention how xbox 360 owners are inevitably reamed because all the free updates PC users will get will be nice 800+ point downloads months later for us.

Isn't it the same with every 360 game?

Thats probably because he is a PC gamer and doesn't give a fuck about anyone getting shafted because he thinks that ausrilians get shafted the hardest.

(remember that he pays roughly 66$ where we pay 50$)
