    Destiny Is Masterful Game-Making from Bungie

    The thing that interests me most about the game is that while yes, it is indeed another shooter, it doesn't appear to be yet another pvp, matchmaking/dedicated servers competitive shooter. Going to the next generation you've got your CoD, Battlefield, Killzone, Titanfall, ect... but the...

    Microsoft Addresses Xbox One Concerns

    Microsoft better have exclusives that are better than sex lined up for E3 because there is NO reason to go Xbox one over PS4 besides consumer loyalty right now.

    Movie Bob gets called out by Chris Roberts on PC gaming

    Ugh. Lot of PC fanboys shitting all over Bob here. Yeah I'd agree he makes his preference for console gaming quite obvious but almost every person in this thread ripping on him is closer to a fanboy than he is. Not that every other person really is a fanboy but Bob is incredibly mild when...

    How come Tomb Raider gets away with it?

    One was a tactical turn based strategy game turned into an FPS, a genre that gets the most fanboy bashing for "generic"-ness and the other was an adventure game turned into... and adventure game. And no OP it wasn't "drastically changed" by any stretch of the imagination. Laura's character...

    EA Bans Users for Asking for Refunds

    Again with the EA overreaction hate? It's already been explained by others how the ban was only threatened for the charge-back action which seems entirely reasonable to do to a customer that would go through with that. Yeah EA released a broken game with all these issues but other than...

    CliffyB: Microtransaction is Not a Dirty Word, EA is Not The Bad Guy

    I think he's right in some aspects. There are things that EA has pulled off that are for more shady than just microtransaction stuff. Disk locked content, killing old studios like Westwood... but their DLC practices and stuff like online passes aren't nearly the evil shady business practices...

    Dotcom Offers €10,000 to Potential Code Crackers

    Was there honestly any real question to that? It's 100% the reason why. All Dotcom's about is making the most money he can out of every technicality and loophole in copyright law or just by straight up breaking it discreetly. Nobody should be on this fucker's side. Even those who heavily...

    ITT: Your SpikeTV VGA 2012 reactions.

    Samuel L skits were great. REALLY let down though just before it started that Bungie's next game was not going to be one of the featured premiers. Moreso though at the oh so overrated HL:2's undeserving game of the decade.

    Understanding Halo's Success and Mainstream Appeal

    It was always a step ahead of its genre and came with something not always entirely new but something that had never been done better before it. With CE the controls had never been more mastered on a console and got it to a point where FPS games could be played on a console or PC that left it...

    Poll: A Game Must Stand On Singleplayer Alone

    Of course you can stand on multiplayer alone. People play games for a whole different number of reasons and multiplayer is a major reason to in today's day and age. Games that do include a single player still deserved to be judged on the content of said single player but it can easily just...

    Google Rallies Opposition to U.N. Internet Treaty

    Google quite frankly should be sending cooperation to getting this done right instead of trying to rally opposition for it. Individual countries are just going to lock down the internet a bit more on their own and the offenders will look for loopholes or jurisdiction arguments to get around...

    The Metacritic Users bomb Call of Duty again

    Are you just trying to troll with that? Absolutely everything about finding a game "boring" is 100% subjective. What is objective are the crisp game mechanics that handle and respond extremely well for the twitch based style CoD plays like. If you find that style of gameplay dull...

    Poll: Does pirating a game to test it make it okay?

    It would require a heavy amount of self policing to be acceptable and for that reason it isn't and shouldn't be ok to do. I'm sure plenty of people on here would hold themselves to their standards and immedietely uninstall everything within an hour or less and make the decision to buy it or...

    The Metacritic Users bomb Call of Duty again

    I'm sorry but if you think games like CoD or ME3 are ACTUALLY worth scores like the 40's and lower you're part of the problem and why the user reviews are absolutely worthless. Critic reviews are a thousand times more reliable in all circumstances. Despite anyone who would throw around...

    The Metacritic Users bomb Call of Duty again

    Slap that on the box art! User reviews are completely useless for AAA games anymore. You can't get a consensus of objective anonymous people on them anymore. An individual user review here and there might be a good one but we've seen this for years now. ME3, every CoD... it's always the...
