EA has enough cash coming from rehashing their sports games annually without changing anything for me to believe they would have any interest. The high bid so far appears to be from a bunch of private inverstors at $60million which would probably be the worst for consumers. All the investors would do is try to liquidate THQ's properties for a fast return on the invetsment.

I didn't mean that there wasn't any software for it, I was trying to say that games are hard to bring to the ps3 and that devs like Bethesda do not bother with fixing their ****. I have a ps3 Xbox and PC and of course my PC has the least bugs and best quality. I like both my consoles but I wouldn't dare play a Bethesda game on my ps3 XD

Struggling publisher files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and has entered into asset purchase agreement with bidder to sell nearly all of company's assets, including four wholly-owned studios and games.

Beleaguered Saints Row publisher THQ has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, the company announced today. The company has entered into an asset purchase agreement with a bidder to acquire "substantially all of the assets of THQ's operating business." This includes THQ's four wholly-owned studios and games in development.

"The sale will allow THQ to shed certain legacy obligations and emerge with the strong financial backing of a new owner with substantial experience in software and technology," the company said in a statement.

THQ's day-to-day operations will not be affected during the sale period, the company said. Every THQ studio remains open and development on all projects is unaffected. No layoffs are expected to be a result of the filing. Employees will continue to work on their usual schedules and will receive their previously agreed upon compensation and benefits.

THQ's international operations, including those in Canada, are not included in the filings. Additionally, the company said it has obtained about $37.5 million in financing commitments from lenders Clearlake and Wells Fargo. These investments are subject to court approval.

"The sale and filing are necessary next steps to complete THQ’s transformation and position the company for the future, as we remain confident in our existing pipeline of games, the strength of our studios, and THQ’s deep bench of talent," said THQ CEO Brian Farrell in a statement. "We are grateful to our outstanding team of employees, partners and suppliers who have worked with us through this transition. We are pleased to have attracted a strong financial partner for our business, and we hope to complete the sale swiftly to make the process as seamless as possible."

Clearlake estimates THQ's assets are worth approximately $60 million, which includes a new $10 million note for the benefit of THQ's creditors. THQ expects to complete to sale process in the next 30 days.

"We have incredible, creative talent here at THQ," new THQ president Jason Rubin said. "We look forward to partnering with experienced investors for a new start as we will continue to use our intellectual property assets to develop high-quality core games, create new franchise titles, and drive demand through both traditional and digital channels."

THQ has a range of games in development. These include Saints Row 4, Homefront 2, Metro: Last Light, South Park: The Stick of Truth, Company of Heroes 2, and an unannounced project from former Assassin's Creed developer Patrice Désilets at the company's Montreal studio.

THQ stock will be delisted from NASDAQ in nine days.

Mass Effect 3: Omega's final battle was ridiculously near-impossible as an Infiltrator. :eek: (Okay yea I could've lowered the difficulty to normal, but if I don't have to for the rest of the game, I shouldn't have to for one level..)

I mean it's easy when when you're lugging around shotguns and all, but when you're stuck with a sniper rifle, pistol and smg, you're rubbish at CQC on your own with things that can kill you in one slash. (Yes, I know you can use all weapons in ME3. That also makes using powers rather sluggish..)

GTA4 lost SO MUCH content compared to Vice City and San Andreas, how can you say that 4 is better than SA?

It's like the revs just decided to cut out 80% of the whole fun from the game, that's why there's not much to do in GTA4 except for:

- telephone hitman missions

- street racing

- killing all the pigeons around liberty city

- helping Little Jacob with delivery of the drugs

- crazy stunts and jumps

- helicopter excursions

- hang out with friends or just drive around LC

Each console has pros and cons. Personally I prefer the PC and think controllers are secretly plotting to overthrow humanity (I might just let them..). But I still own an Xbox, simply because Halo and Gears of War aren't for the pc. (H1 and 2 and GoW1 are, but half a trilogy is ridiculous..) :shrugs:

Halo is moving away from its loyal fanbase in terms of online play..don't get me wrong I loved the campaign just halo has met this "everybody gets a trophy" since god awful reach came out... I'm disappointed and it hurts me to play online in 4... I really do miss the days of halo 2... I was a legit 48 in team snipers and in that game if you were bad you couldnt get past lever 30 if you were lucky enough to get there.... That's what made halo so addicting the competetive online play and the use of TEAMWORK...I swear I always get the dumbest teammates in the world on my team none of then know team work its just all about points now...even though I still have that huge competitive side in me its like why do I care if I lose?... And they took out team snipers and no double team its busts. Bunch of noon playlists to be honest....it can't be so hard to create a classic and ranked section for the loyal fans who don't like sprint or any of that stupid stuff... I want the rank system back from h2 . H3 was still good still competitive but nothing will surpass h2 in terms of competitive play and how much fan it was....I'm tempted to do Xbox connect with just old friends on live ..halo to me is now just cod in space...custom classes care packages everything...

Halo 4 is made by a completely different company (343 Industries as opposed to Bungie), so a change is to be expected...

I gave up on Halo when they came out with Reach. Though Wars did not help, either. I'm a Canon fan, and they just kept ruining the story more and more. Microsoft, who owns Halo, approved the books as Canon. (meaning they officially "happened")

Reach completely destroyed all of it by adding people and events that previously never happened in the story. For instance, Halsey never even knew about the S3's until about the end of Halo 3. (in terms of the timeline). And suddenly in Reach she meets them? Which plays years earlier, and she already knew all about them? Dafuq? Ackerson copied her project (the S2's) and it was kept completely secret by ONI on the planet Onyx, not Reach.

It's like adding nuclear weapons to the US Civil War and just telling history to go to hell because this suits them better... :rolleyes:
[Off-topic] gmaster1:
*clears throat* halo REACH did suck and wars had nothing to do with a propper storyline to do with the origianal problems. but reach was the base of super soldiers but destroyed by covenent. so they had to get off the planet meaning the pillar of autum was their last hope as it contained super soldier john (or master chief as we know him) when the pillar of autum lauched with the last super soldier known on board in a cyrotube (or whatever those things are that put you in deep sleep) but they only realised this when they couldnt get rid of the covenent. which was after most of them died (good thinking you idiots!) and this created halo 1.

i myself think halo 3:eek:DST was the worst. reach was bad but not as bad as ODST. sure it was big but the story ruined it...why you ask...beuase there was NO fixed storyline...meaning i lost interest after i died 1,000,000 times with crappy weapons and beast monsters in the only way i can get to the next level of crap.

That's right, I'm a premium potayto. Problem? :eek:
[Off-topic] ShadowLea:
Reach was the first planet humanity colonized, and it was the foremost military base to the whole UNSC. You're thinking Castle Base in particular.

ONI Section 3 sends ALL of the S2's on a mission to capture a covenant prophet, for which they take the Autumn as it's an old and solid ship, but the don't even make it out of the Epsilon Eridani system when the covenant show up. They plan to continue the mission rather than turn back by capturing a covenant ship, but get redirected to defend the groundside MAC canons eventually and deal with a ship still docked at a space station. John, James and Linda stay in space as the rest goes back to Reach, but James get blown off into space and Linda gets shot. (here they also run into Sgt. Johnson, which is how he got on board.) Keyes is th eone who chooses to run as they can't outgun the covenant fleet, and thus Cortana enters coordinates she got from translated glyphs on Sigma Octanus IV, as the Cole Protocol dictates ships are not allowed to jump directly to Earth or in the general direction of any populated planet.

There were two S2's on the Pillar of Autumn durin gHalo 1, but Linda's condition was too critical to be revived. Her cryopod is ejected into space before the autumn crashes. She gets picked up later on, after the game in the next book.

I've read each book 183 times. :rolleyes:

ODST was horrible, gameplay wise. (I ignored the story, it made no sense.). WHY would I need to bash a grunt in the head 500 times just to do a tiny bit of damage, on EASY?! The game was near bloody unbeatable in Legendary. (Then again so was Reach before they fixed it.) :mad:
