Erm, you're completely ignoring market share. This is the ONLY console generation I can recall where console sales are near even (excluding the Wii/Wii U, since we'd have to make this argument much more complex to factor them and I'm trying to keep this simple). In previous generations, there was always a very clear…

Well, console dominance will result in exclusives. The PS2 got tons of exclusives by virtue of the fact that it had a ridiculously huge market share, so developers could significantly reduce their development costs by only making games for 1 platform and still reach a large market. Same reason why 360 had a lot of…

Except when you account for the BILLIONS Microsoft lost due to a 54%+ failure rate on 360s for the first 3-4 years it was out.

What kind of sheltered life do you commenters live? Are you all white middle class teenagers who've never ventured outside of suburbia? Christ. Chicken & waffles is a wildly popular combo in the south as well as pretty much any major metro area where you'll find soul food eateries and the like. I can't believe so many…

Yes, but those are just general factors; nothing definitive. There is no, "This person has red eyes, which are only apparent in people from this nationality." (just as a ridiculous example) The UK might have fewer blondes or more gingers, but they still have blondes, gingers, brunettes, etc. the same as white…

Oh God. Don't bring up that bullshit argument that you can't say anything about something if you haven't experienced it. "Have you SEEN the film?! If not, you're in no position to criticize it!" Sorry bruh. I don't need to watch the entire Twilight Saga to know the gist of what it's about and that it's a pile of…

lol. Pretty much every major review source has said the game is god-awful. The gaming community has also generally agreed that it is, in fact, awful. So it's not a case of "ALL the reviewers are wrong!" either. Kotaku isn't bias. The game is just bad.

The people are clothed and have varying makeup and hairstyles. As I said, non-genetic elements can give away their nationality. Most of these people are fairly "plain" looking, but a couple are pretty obvious. It'd be like saying, "Guess what region of the US these 18 white people are from." and one of them is wearing…

I always find this discussion ridiculous. A person's nationality has nothing to do with their genetics. The only way you can tell Japanese from Chinese or American from English is if there is some cultural influence in their appearance. (e.g., fashion, hairstyle, etc. that's only popular in a specific region.)…

You ARE entitled to your opinion, but your petty attack offers no intelligent contribution and makes you seem like nothing more than a troll. If you've accomplished all that you've claimed, congrats. I'm hesitant to believe you without proof (I'm quite familiar with most ZiffDavis editors of the late 90s/early 00s),…

They weren't supposed to be. It was just a code to unlock a free thing in the game.

Considering the song doesn't actually start 'til 20 seconds in, you're full of shit. Secondly, there is no rap song like this. At all. None. Find one similar to it. I dare you. 'Til then, your description that one of the most original indie hiphop tunes is nothing more than a "common crappy rap song" is so hilariously…

Because consumers aren't professionals. While the art of a game critic has become somewhat muddled over the years, most of them do still try to adhere to a sense of professionalism. They try to remain (somewhat) impartial and objective and judge the game on it's own merits and whether or not they feel the developer…

Actually, there's nothing wrong with that. If ALL you care about is her being pretty, then yes, that makes you shallow. However, there's no point in being with someone if they can't turn you on. Think of it this way: It's likely that you're hetereosexual. Now think of your best friend the same gender as you. They're…

I'm not taking things personally. I'm just saying he is so incredibly wrong in his accusations that it's laughable. Also, level x time investment = skill. Sure you can get to Lv.50 eventually no matter what, but I've seen people run in and die over-and-over on missions they way outleveled just because they are…

The game has been out for months now. I've got 2 Lv.50 characters and I've barely touched the game outside of release other than the DLC. My friend bought it during the steam sale for Christmas, has only casually played it since then, and HE'S already Lv.50. Calling someone a pathetic loser because they've…

He's saying them turning to Kickstarter is somehow reflective of their inferior quality which infers that those who go to Kickstarter are somehow unable to secure funds via traditional means. I'm saying that is a load of horse shit because the entire purpose of Kickstarter is to forego typical investment scenarios and…

By that logic, everyone on Kickstarter is just a bunch of unskilled individuals who can't be successful via traditional means. That goes against the very nature of Kickstarter since it exists solely to buck traditional startup methods by putting power in the hands of consumers rather than investors.
