It might help if the review outlined those differentiating factors instead of just pretending the other similar game doesn't exist. I'm left totally unsure of what's different, when it would have been simpler and more informative for the reviewer to address the issue head on.

Haha, yes it's great how it left you with no idea whether you should buy brawl or this game if you only have the money for one. Or the way it leaves you entirely unsure of what makes this game's mechanics different from brawl (it does mention various levels of super moves but make no effort to explain how that system…

See, the thing is, the review doesn't succeed in making that difference clear...that's what people are complaining about. The reviewer should have noticed that people would make that comparison, and outline the ways in which they differ, rather than just pretending the comparison doesn't exist.

See, the thing is I shouldn't have to spend a few good hours playing the game to realize they're different. I should be able to read the review BEFORE I buy the game to compare and figure out if it's something to buy. Requiring that you play the game before the review makes sense makes the review pretty useless.

"When preforming a review, comparing it to an existing game has no benefit as a pro or even a con. " This is just patently false. The main reason people read reviews is to figure out if they want to buy the reviewed item. The main thing people are wondering when purchasing something is "is there something else that…

I loled at him saying "it's recommending me other music I might like, because I'm listening to maroon 5." It's as though it senses that he's listening to bad music and is begging him to reconsider.

Because those are two issues with very clear right and wrong answers, whereas something like "what approach works best to build an economy" is much less clear. When someone can't get an easy question like "is it ok to deny gay people the right to marry" or "is it ok to imprison someone for possessing pot" right I'm a…

Yes, I wear a watch! While watches don't seem very common among people my age (23), almost everyone my age I know who does wear a watch (myself included) wears the watch face on the inside of the wrist instead of the outside, which is not something I've seen older folks do. I find it much easier to glance at it…

Yea, people seem to be forgetting that the "haha stupid American" jokes became uber popular when Bush became our figurehead. It's not because we have a political divide that we're laughed at, all countries have a political divide. We are laughed at because of the frequency with which blatant anti-intellectualism and…

Plenty of things would have changed. We would no longer be looking at the possibility that the defense of marriage act will be overturned. We would be facing a reinstatement of don't ask don't tell. We would be facing a massive increase in our military budget. We would be facing the end of our country attempting to…

The problem being that the change you were voting for is actually a move to take us back 50 years. I'm sorry that I don't find bigotry acceptable. Being a bigot is worse than being stupid, and you have to be one of the two to have voted for Romney. To talk about how we need to learn to peacefully coexist and be more…

What a fucked up headline. Fetlife does not equal the kink community; it's one site, and it's not even as though everyone on the site or an official representative of the site was doing the shaming, just individuals. Take down that horrible lie of a headline or have your reputation as a journalist forever tarnished by…

Community. Six seasons, a movie and a game.

Seems to me this is way more acceptable than chopping off a child's foreskin.

This video really makes me wonder why I am not a famous musician yet.

A free (probably lite?) version of Cubase came with my yamaha keyboard, but I've never really dived into it. I definitely agree about the real-time bounce problem with protools; it's very frustrating to need to plan time at the end of recording sessions to bounce a rough mix for the client to take home. Logic offers…

I agree ProTools is definitely the industry standard and the "right" answer to this poll (though I get that not everyone is doing this sort of thing professionally so the price tag is a big deterrent), but I vehemently disagree with your claiming that it takes years to become capable with it. Maybe if you just dive in…

I've only used Reason a bit, but I'd call that an audio sequencer not an editor. Maybe it has audio editing options I just wasn't exposed to in my limited use of it, but it definitely seemed primarily oriented towards sequencing and imitating the mixing options available in a recording studio.

Pretty much all quality DAWs are also quality audio editors now from what I've seen. I do 90% of my editing work in ProTools (the rest is in Izotope RX or Melodyne), and most professional engineers I've worked with are the same (though a few are Logic devotees). I don't think it's fair to say that first and foremost…

You are learning wrong. College is not about memorizing as many facts as possible, its about learning how to interpret and utilize facts in helpful ways. If I do all the reading for a college class and do well in the discussion, I still probably won't remember all the things I read after the semester is over, but…
