Correlation doesn't equal causation. Saying the addition of ESPN was the reason why Xbox Live costs were increased doesn't make it true; Microsoft was obviously working on upgrading its infrastructure, which is evident from the massive overhaul Xbox Live will receive for Xbox One games.

I'm so fucking tired of gamers bitching when a console adds more entertainment capabilities.

Yeah... I'm not seeing the big deal.

I don't understand, Owen. Why would Min-Liang Tan not playing One, which hasn't even been released yet, mean his company won't make PS3 accessories?

The console can stand with the help of a stand.

All due respect, Luke, this kind of information has been out there since Microsoft announced the requirements — before that, even. The press release announcing Xbox One said some of this stuff. You simply chose not to report it or were unaware of it.

Seriously? You're throwing a bitch fit because it's an exclusive title and it's not on the platform you own? Get the fuck over it. I'm sorry we've advanced past monopolies and there's actually competition in the personal computing markets now.

How is it a childish statement? It's a fact. Stop getting all offended because a company you like handled something poorly.

Gearbox re-wrote the game from scratch after TimeGate handed them what they had done in their time with it. TimeGate abandoned many of Gearbox's original assets, however. Gearbox was the company in charge of developing the game, then they were in charge of overseeing the development, and the game they chose to release…

Yeah, the headline's misleading. There were multiple studios behind the game, and TimeGate wasn't the studio that made the final game, according to Kotaku's own reporting.

Man, you guys have got to find a better way to do your review cards in this shitty new Kenja layout that blows for images.

I never said I removed the story from the equation. I'm not really sure where you got that idea from. As a game, "Dishonored" is better. As a story, "Infinite" is better. I would much rather play the former than the latter. Stop trying to use dissimilar analogies to make a point that I never refuted.

Can't even remotely agree. As a game, "Dishonored" royally demolishes "Infinite." As a story, however, the latter is clearly superior. But if you ask me which I'd rather play? No contest, "Dishonored."

It was enough to get people's curiosity, but not their attention.

There were lots of companies that were at CES. Doesn't mean they're working together. You didn't even try to get a quote from Valve on the matter? It was always Xi3 saying it was building a Steambox, never Valve.

...well, that's disappointing. I liked the previous Crysis games. Not really surprised the lack of polish is an issue given the state Crysis 2 was released in, however, and how quickly Crysis 3 was developed.

Whew, lucky break, getting charged with "premeditated murder" and not premeditated murder.

Ah, keep forgetting to include Blizzard in Activision stuff. That's true.

I don't really understand this article. The implication seems to be EA is known for clunkers, but I'd argue that of all third-party publishers, they're the best in terms of overall quality of games released.

It's certainly not ethical (to give the money or to accept it), but I don't know if it breaks any NCAA violations.
