Pretty much everything Nintendo's doing this year fits, but for me Splatoon and the new LoZ.

Or

Your last point is pretty much why no one will ever take gaming seriously as anything more than a hobby with little educational worth or artistic merit.

How was "the author was showing disrespect for the medium, the product, and their time by using a bully-platform (reviewing a major game for a major publication) in order to promote his own ideological agenda.", if I may ask? How is he promoting his personal agenda? He gave the game the score he...

I'll just give my two cents. A reviewer can give it ANYTHING they review whatever score they good goddamn well please as it's their review and use whatever metric they want as long as they make it clear. If the guy at Polygon docked some points of the game because of personal reasons that made...

Same. I like Bayonetta the character, but her overt sexuality is kind of off putting with how in your face it is sometimes.

I 100% agree with this comment. This whole thing just needs to go away to sone dar corner of the Internet and die.

Dragon Age I can give, but doing fairly basic research on any of the others would've avoided any of those problems. I mean the new Wolfenstein game looked amazing, but after researching it a bit more I backed out on pre-ordering it since as good as it looked, it wasn't something I wanted or...

I don't see the blind faith or gambling aspect if you're pre-ordering something like a Mario game or any other game from a major series with lots of titles to compare. Now if it's a new IP then yeah you better do some serious research, but if it's a sequel game or something similar then I don't...

I still remember it being hailed as the next Halo and all the gifs from Last of Us of a character with the PS logo decapitating a character with an Xbox logo. I also remember telling people to wait and see before trusting the massive marketing extravaganza.

People have no idea how much this helps and to answer to a previous comment, no to the whole, "Well I'm buying it anyway" mentality being poisonous. I've had Pikmin 3, Rayman Legends, Mario Kart 8, Hyrule Warrirs, both versions of Smash Bros., Bayonetta 2, Tales of Xilia 2, and God knows what...

This is another big one. Any movie involving violent and unspeakably horrible things happening to people especially women and children just automatically turn me off HARD.

Ditto. There are some scenes that I know are funny, but just so shamelessly embarrassing that I can barely watch them. The last joke in Bad Grandpa where they compete in the pageant for instance. Scenes with animal cruelty are just God Awful for me as well and I think we can rule that one as...

Development was in all probability 1/5 and the rest all went into marketing.

I preorder games all the time, but only ones I know I'm going to get anyway and it's mostly because it allows me to pay the games off in installments. Preorder bonuses are just a cherry to me if it's offered. This as well. If pre-ordering nets me some nice physical swag or it's a CE then...
