Look, I'm sorry, call me a douchebag, but anyone who just registered with Kotaku today and who doesn't have a certain number of comments on their account shouldn't have been allowed to vote.

@Archaotic: You can thank Facebook.

@CrazyLudwig: Oh, OK, I was wondering what the hell happened, since COD was dead last the last time I checked.

@Curiously Flamboyant Sheep 3: The Ovis Aries Cometh!: And I feel kind of aroused. xD

@romanmaroni: I somehow missed this comment when you posted it the first time around. I'm glad you reposted it. Hearted. :)

Might I suggest taking a look at the individual articles? Many of us who feel strongly about one game or another made our case on those pages. Or should we copy-paste our comments here?

@cptincognito: No, but if BioWare know what's good for them, ME3 will be. Tsk, Muzyka and his quaint notions of "plot", "emotion", "character development"... the man obviously doesn't understand how the business works.

@dana22: I know, I know, but I'm not the funniest guy to begin with, so whaddamagonnado if I can't even make things up... :P

Can't wait to see the ESRB certificate:

@vato_loco: Amen to that. It's Duke Nukem, what did people expect? Of course it's going to have boobs, swearing and crass humour. Can you imagine a Duke Nukem game taking itself seriously?

@oliath: Ha-ha, love it!

@MCX405: You can be sure they've already made their calculations, planned when to raise and when to fold, considered and budgeted every possibly scenario. I wouldn't worry too much about their bottom line. No matter what happens, I doubt very strongly that Activision will be seriously hurt by any of this.

@MCX405: I'm sure they've made their calculations and already imagined and budgeted every possible scenario. I wouldn't worry too much about their bottom line.

@Jackski: Now don't you go dissin' the tambourine man, you'll make Bob Dylan cry. It's a serious instrument!

@ryushidude: They have every reason to sink millions into the case.

@donthizz#1: Unless you're just watching.

I'll just copy-paste this right here for convenience. The guy is good.

Noise, dust, unprotected components... As a concept or something to display in your living room? It's cool, I guess. As a practical product for gaming and everyday use? Nuh-uh.

@hbluft: Maybe L.A. Noire will be more like that. I don't see how a noir detective story can work if your hard-boiled detective has to go play darts with his cousin or drive people around town. It's not an in-house Rockstar game, so the structure and gameplay can hopefully move away from the usual formula.

@hagren: Yes, the Krogan Genophage was a tricky issue in the original, but ME2 really puts you on the spot with Mordin's loyalty mission. At that point, it's not just philosophical any more.
