We lost the second tier studios. And with that we lost the games that took risks. Once we only had the mega-budgeted studios left, of course they stick us with nothing but slick shit like Destiny and Madden. It’s really sad. I’d like a mid-tier to big-budget game that takes chances but that almost never happens…

Cultural guilt inflicted through a false narrative of hippies spitting on U.S. soldiers coming home from Vietnam, which absolutely did NOT happen. Not one single verifiable time. But the story worked. And when Republican war hero on TV slurred it out in First Blood, it was propelled into the mainstream. Ah ...…

Agreed. I think each Infamous has been worse than the one before it. But the first two were at least close in gaming goodness. The third was a huge fall off and gigantic let down.

I thought Knack was a sure thing with Knack II coming out in a week. Knack is still my favorite PS4 exclusive. It’s still my favorite exclusive this generation. Underrated as hell. Sony needs to let people play it so they can shake the overly critical bullshit it received from the overly critical critics at launch.

They have truly broken us. Like wild stallions, us gamers have submitted. Not only do we no longer complain about and boycott DLC, we get excited about it for games that aren’t even out yet. We pre-order our DLC now. Let that sink in for a minute.

If a bunch of PR spin is “explaining extensively” to you, I’ve got a bridge to sell ya — and then sell you again in a few years.

Wasn’t this supposed to be a ten-year game? How is a part 2 already coming out? Bungie lies, people die.

Hahaha ... that was funny. Comment was at my expense, but I must admit it made me laugh.

I think it looks excellent. How could you more succesfully bring Shenmue into the current generation without abandoning its much loved art style and character design? It looks like a Dreamcast game done with today’s technology — which it is. I’m sure my nostalgia goggles are skewing my opinion, but that trailer really…

they could increase productions costs & customer inconvenience by making separate Xbox One and Xbox One X discs, would you prefer that?

I’m not Alex Jones. But you are in denial (seriously, does MS pay you? You’ve been mad crazy defending Xbox for years now — it’s like an obsession with you). Microsoft created Xbox as a trojan horse. Bill Gates admitted this from the start. He wanted it to be an entertainment center, not a video game console.

It’s a fucking trojan horse. Just like everything Microsoft has done since announcing the original Xbox.

Sony publishes a ton of critically acclaimed, console-selling games exclusive only to Playstation. Period. So does Nintendo. Microsoft stopped making any really console selling games a long time ago (has there even been one this gen?) and now cross-publish on Windows 10, making the Xbox One a total nothing box as far…

360 sold less last gen than PS3. The other point I think people are making is that Microsoft makes next to no games of their own anymore and with the “play anywhere” thing, they now make NO exclusive games. Sony and Nintendo both have a lot of INCREDIBLE first and second party games that really are only on their…

Not to mention a story that’s all but been missed: Microsoft basically got the “online only” thing they wanted with original Xbox One on Xbox One X. If you don’t have Internet, you don’t have 4K games. Even the new games you buy on disc don’t include the 4K on the disc, you have to download it as a day one patch. I…

Basically, this is just going back to how it was a few generations ago. Sony released 3 Crash games in 2 years. Those were also Naughty Dog. The waiting five years between sequels shit didn’t really start until Nintendo got all caught up in releasing one Mario per console, for some unknown reason. I welcome it. If I…

I like Bonk’s Adventure and absolutely LOVE the SNES DKC games. DKC2 is about as good as platforming gets. I just have a particular dislike of Sonic.

I was actually an editor for Game Informer magazine during its first couple years. But your point is still taken.

I never even pretended the games were fun. I remember when I worked for FunCoLand (later became GameStop) I got in trouble for answering the common question of, “What’s the better game: Sonic or Mario?” with, “Sonic isn’t a game.” The thing was a tech demo to somehow show the Sega was “faster” than the SNES. I hate…

That’s not true! That’s impossible!!!
