I've listened to every episode so far, and I hope that if the podcast continues, everyone settles in to their positions. I'll give it a try in a couple of months.
Serious question: What is the "goal" with this podcast? Notariety of the writers that might draw more readers to the site? I think it currenty may be doing the opposite.

where should I contact?
His (Nick?) 'right off the bat' impressions were just that - 'right off the bat'...it takes a long learning curve before you start to appreciate what this game is about. It feels so damn loose, controls are awkward, tweaking alot of settings, and single dimensional feel (you keep dying) but it'll start opening up I promise, cause the first couple of days and hours of gameplay, I was a huge detractor. I seriously almost hocked this game only a couple days ago, but I forced myself to play more.
Now my tune is changing....once you understand the mechanics and the idea that every weapon is balanced (you can bring a warhawk down easily on foot even), it starts to reveal itself as a great game. Once you start getting kills, it becomes quite fun...you start ramping up fast once you get that 'spark' of how to play it. I mean it's frantic as hell, the physics are insane, and a good server will show that - unfortunately the community hasn't matured yet, and there are tons of players that dont know how to play effectively, much less with team objectives. But I bet you it'll get there and fast. The Battlfields were like that.
I do agree that the tutorial stuff is sorely needed. You REALLYhave to tweak controls and settings (like get rid of sixxaxis, pro flight controls, sensitivity, etc).
Also, join GCR and us in playing online....once that gets filled out it'll really start to shine.

The other way to view this, is one USER has purchased the game. Not the whole family. So why should your brother play for free?
holy fuck what a stupid thing to say. Wow. Heh...wow.

I'm hoping that my interest will eventually be reinvigorated at some point, but for now I'm just "Meh" about the whole title.
I've hardly touched the Wii since finishing Zelda (although I've just purchased RE4 and MP3, so that should change).
The PS3 got a lot of play time when I purchased it, although mostly finishing God of War 1 and 2, other than that just Ninja Gaiden Sigma.
I've always got something on the go on the 360, recently the Darkness and Bioshock.

Basically what 2kgames is telling you is that you bought the game for ONE user. Yeah thats right, nevermind the hardware or limited installs - they only want one user to play even if it's on the same PC.
What the hell is this? The EULA has always been per PC, at one time. In other words you shouldn't install on two PCs playing simultaneously. It never said anything about a per user system taking place.
