I’m guessing that Apocalypse will center around Verdun, or maybe the Somme.

The skating isn’t what it was last year. They’re tired, dude.

They didn’t remove “industry standard” features, game developers did. Take it up with them.

.I’d say publicly announcing that this will be the case for a small number of games satisfies this so-called “right” of the consumer. Again, you’ve gone beyond your original point (that most consumers of this product aren’t video game wonks like folks that read Kotaku regularly) and have expanded it into “Most people…

The problem with this year’s Pens team is that they’re obviously wiped out at this point. Not sure if it’s the shortened offseason, the practice schedule or what, but I’m afraid that they just don’t have the legs to do what they did last year.

I don’t think it’s a reasonable complaint at all. These aren’t informational packets, they’re 30-second commercials designed to sell a system before it comes out. There’s literally no onus on them to take time out of those commercials to say, “BUT A SMALL MINORITY OF GAMES CAN’T BE PLUGGED INTO THE DOCK, SO KNOW…

Yeah, MGSV felt great at first with the open world, but after a while it just felt...boring. Like, I’d rather waste 5K to have the chopper pick me up and drop me someplace, rather than drive around with nothing to look at.

Incidentally, the Carlton piece (about him being an insane gun-hording, doomsday-prepping bunker resident) you folks reprinted some years ago is one of my favorite things I’ve ever read.

It’s no Todd Snider, who committed “Girl, you’re hotter than the hinges hanging off the gates of Hell” to the American lexicon.

That Brett Hull one-timer, though. That’s the stuff of legend.
