Five hours? Seems more like a problem with your internet.

wow. stupid people are stupid and gamers seem to lead the charge on that.

I realize this is an old story, but as someone who worked there I just wanted to clear up the misconception: that is not Loren Nancarrow, it's one of the producers at KUSI. It's one instance of a long-time running gag that people finally noticed, at what turned out to be the worst possible time.

Your negativity is what is really sad for me. Please just write these depressing little comments in your journal. Nobody wants your negativity here.

your a moron cloud computing has nothin g to do with the servers being down.
even if the game just had dedicated servers with no cloud it still would be down at the moment. but nice try at a dig on ms ea. lol

it's a freaking beta.
how many post release games have had this problem before on non ms consoles and non ea…

Wow. You seem to be an ungrateful fucking retard on the internet. Big surprise.

So hilarious you're mad about a beta being down yet there is no problem when $ony does the same thing for days! When the PS4 launched (with no games) it crashed off and on for the entire day.

See I can do the same thing. Buy a PC and stfu.

P.S. and please be aware the PSN has crashed for days multiple times... while…

OMG I'm not able to play in a stress test beta because the beta is stressed!

Oh, I agree with you 100%. There will definitely be issues at launch, same as any highly anticipated game. Hopefully this will dispel a good amount of it though, and allow for an easier launch.

You sound like a spoiled brat.

So wait... let me get this straight.

The sheer number of errors in this paragraph makes everything you say invalid. For reference Acclaim went out of business 10 years ago

His reasoning is becoming absurd. At this point he's basically stating that Nintendo owns all colorful pixel art and any real world object they decided to put in their games.

As far as I can tell, the guy didn't steal anything. There are striking visual similarities to Mario sprites, but nothing is straight up stolen.

errybody acts a fool every now and again. it's what makes us human or something.

ironically enough, the dickwolves get called out in the comic...

Desperate attempt of video game journalism? Yes.

Kotaku, you are a shitty tabloid sometimes.

Click BAAAAAAAAIT! *Mountains rumble*

This is the most biased article i have read on kotaku in a long time. I would just like to point out stealing art is a whole lot different than being influenced by an art style. Articles like this are the reason i have started to move away from reading kotaku.
