I'm serious Koden. I'm not saying Hitler was good or that the holocaust was a blessing. I'm just saying that the core, basic, distilled idea that he started with was a good idea ahead of it's time. Wouldn't it be awesome if we could have less genetic susceptibility to cancer and diseases as a whole population? Healthier and cleaner gene pool. We don't quite have the technology yet (yea, there's 23andme but... eh) but it would be good to allow couples to genetically screen their partners and to see markers that they might pass on to their offspring.

Also, BF2 was one of the best games because it was ahead of it's time and moddable. Sure, EA/Dice can pump out great graphics but they've forgotten about the modding community. Frostbite should allow games to use engine upgrades and allow 3rd party content creation. Of course there's a balance for releasing too many tools but hackers get in one way or another.

They would do so much better to create a series of games (classic (2/3/4), hardline, vintage (vietnam/1942/1943), bad company) and constantly upgrade them then offer a subscription-based marketing strategy. Don't redesign the wheel with BF4, turn BF3 into BF4. Add new features and maps into a game people love. Upgrade the engine and allow 3rd party content kind of like ARMA but better.

I sure as shit won't pay $60-80 for a new game but I'd be pretty content paying $20/year for a subscription. EA would make more money as more people would try the game at $20 rather than $80. They would also make more by keeping games up to date and letting players play the same game for 5+ years.

Killa, consumers are stupid

EA/DICE needs to fine-tune their games more. You know I'm a perfectionist. I'd love to see them take Frostbite and build a modular game that they constantly update. Don't re-invent the wheel each game. Build something and refine it with community feedback rather than pushing out game after game with full retail pricing and expensive add-ons just to rake in a profit.

But... I'm not a dev, what do I know?

Anyone remember this one?



 

Motorcycle FTW but honestly, I think it's wrong to look at the repair being more than the cost of the car. It's not about that, it's about reliability and use. You'll NEVER get the money out of any car you buy for use (not talking about fixing & flipping). If you look at the cost of the repair vs buying a new car that you'll likely have to put money into at some point, it's better to keep what you have as you know exactly what it is.

Just my 2 cents.

Koden, that's only 100,000 miles on that engine! That's nothing man. We got 2 cars here, one has 150,000 miles and the other is past 225,000 miles. I've seen quite a few people go past 300,000 miles with good maintenance.

That said, I've never seen a FIAT with that many miles

I've seen cars with 1 000 000 km (like 620 000 miles I guess).
