...which is also multi platform. I'm not sure what your point is.

There's been an awful lot of coverage lately considering how bad this game is. Compared to even the vanilla Sims 3, this game is a colossal step backwards.

EA just can't make a good game these days to save their life.

It doesn't play PS3 games, but for the upgrades like BF4, COD:Ghosts, etc. you'll need to have the PS3 disc in the drive for the upgrade version to read before it will launch.

Find me the ads. I don't have to say it to make it true. It is true.

Of course they were frozen out. Just like Call of Duty and GTA IV. The publisher gets free advertising in exchange for the platform holder getting to brand those ads with their logos. That's how those agreements work.

The only thing that indicates this campaign is any different is Microsoft's passive aggressive (and…

That's exactly my point. Sony and Bungie partnered on the advertising for Destiny much like Microsoft and EA did for Madden. Which makes this jab just hypocritical.

Ah, so you saw it twice.

Obviously you weren't reading Kotaku yesterday...

Wow. This seems petulant considering the sheer tonnage of multi-platform game advertisements that I've seen that have all been conspicuously branded with an Xbox logo. Literally a week ago we saw the "Madden Season" campaign which was plastered with Xbox controllers, systems and branding, despite Madden being present…

The new live-action Destiny trailer is a case-study in video game trailer excess. They licensed Zeppelin, for crying out loud! I can't quite tell whether it's perversely great, or just plain ridiculous. Both, I suppose. None of us will ever look this cool while actually playing Destiny.

Maybe the lack of toddlers, pools, and fun is a sign of a pirated copy too.

Wow. Well that's going to screw up some strategy.

To continue the metaphor, Aliens: Colonial Marines is like hiring a prostitute and being rolled for your wallet.

Crap. I liked the old semi-cartoon style of the cutscenes. Almost like it was a precursor to Borderlands' style. I'll temper my disappointment with the knowledge that we're getting a HD remake of Homeworld and call it a wash.

It is a noble sentiment. Considering that hate speech and violence isn't unique to gamers however, it is ultimately futile. In a perfect world, where all gamers would listen, it might be considered a good start.

You had a valid point, then went too far.

I'll save that card for a later round, just in case you say something funny.

Yes, because a parent buying the wrong thing for their child would be totally unprecedented, and in no way is made more complicated by multiple product lines that have virtually identical names.
