Man, for a second there I thought you posted Zynga's stock history.
Edit - Holy shit, this is tracking years, not months. What the hell, THQ?

Still figuring this out.
Public opinion? No idea. But for me:
I played AC1 and hated it. It was flawed in far too many ways for me to enjoy it past about the halfway mark.
I was skeptical about AC2 after 1, but I got it anyway and actually really enjoyed it. It basically fixed every gripe I had with the first game.
So AC3. So far I really like it. You don't play as Connor initially, and I thought the pre-Connor stuff was a little too long, but that's a pretty minor complaint. As soon as I got to be Connor the game sped up and I started having way more fun. Almost nothing tops air assassinating a bear.
I was super skeptical about the naval stuff at first, but I really like it. It's easy to get into and feels really "grand." Upgrade the swivel cannons because they're awesome early on (if not all game).
The only gripe I have so far is for one mission. I had to chase a guy on foot and he was just as fast as I was, so I had to shave corners and restart like ten times. I honestly felt like I was doing it wrong, but eventually I caught him so I guess not. It was a ridiculously annoying mission, though.
Personal score is 8.5-9/10, but I'm not done yet so it could be higher or lower.

Kind of like that disney ride, only depressing.

- The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (2017, colorized)
2008 was around the time that licensed game sales started to go to complete shit.
You should really at least try 2, 1 is really not a good game to judge the others on as the games after it are way, way, way more refined and better designed. It's very similar to ME1 in that respect.

So basically it was a giant waste of time. I want my five minutes back!
The Official Playstation Magazine will be completely dead soon.
Non-sarcastic question: Is this a bad thing? One would assume a magazine named after a console would be biased as hell, but some of them (nintendo power) had some redeeming value.
So should I be sad?
I honestly thought that it died years ago.

Yeah. I listen to the podcast.

Is Home still around? Sure wouldn't know it by looking.

I used to read OPM all the time, from not too long after they started until up until around their transition from PS2 to PS3. That makes me sad. I used to take an issue with me whenever I went to flea markets back in the PS1 days because the last couple of pages were a listing of games they had reviewed as well as their score, this way I could look up a score for a game I wasn't familiar with before I bought it.
Then again, print media is dying, etc etc. If a magazine that had subscription rates as high as Nintendo Power couldn't even keep its shit together I don't see how any company specific gaming magazine can.
I guess a lot of us twentysomethings will be the last generation that will have gotten our videogame news from physical magazines once a month, as opposed to just getting everything instantly on the net as we do now.
You're muckin' with a G!
Nonsense, it's just been replaced by the Print Button.

"Did ya hear the one about the mussel that wanted to purchase Valve? Seems like the bivalve had a juicy offer on the table but the company flat-out refused and decided to immediately clam up!"
Is that Style Savvy game coming to the US?

Also Japan just had a monster hunter ultimate bundle released. That could explain the bump.

I've made this point before, and I'm by no means a fan, but it totally IS still around and hugely popular. If you can stomach the hours of patching it would take at this point to load it up and go in there you'll see, it's absolute madness and swarming with freaks of all shapes and sizes. I think the last time I went in there was early this year and I played sports trivia for awhile at some bar which was actually cool.

One of these days Sony will realize it might be a good thing to have their A teams develop for portable for once.
http://www.vg247.com/2012/11/07/dayz-bounty-mod-undermines-original-vision-bohemia-wants-development-to-cease/ Is that even legal?

Sounds about right.
It can't be legal. It boils down to the base game, Arma II, being used in a pay for play situation.

Hell, even playing 35 hours of Halo 4 in a month is a bit of a tall order.
Wow, I couldn't imagine playing 35 hours of any game a month.

Not really sure about that.
Unless I'm missing something, the Enix side of things has been doing pretty well and most of the falling behind has come from fuckups made by the Japanese branch.
And most of the high development costs have been coming from the Japanese branch.
So...I'm not sure how much the merger actually had to do with this.
I mean maybe he is right and the behind the scenes numbers match up to what he's saying. But for the most part seems like sour grapes from someone who probably didn't agree with the decision.
if it goes below $1 for 30 straight days, then they get a delinquency notice. They then have 90 days to get the stock above $1 for 10 consecutive days in that period. If they don't then they get another notice that the stock is about to be delisted and they have 7 days to appeal to a panel, which will give a decision in 2-4 weeks, and after that they have 45 days to appeal that decison. So it would be a few months before the stock is delisted.
THQ was in the same position back in june with a stock price of 0.5, and managed to get it back up a bit with a reverse split. So they might be able to do that again.
But my bet is that another publisher just buys them up, they have a few games close to a launch and lot of good talent.
