Consumer Trust died the day they released that half-baked, incomplete piece of stale dough they dared to call a “Final Fantasy”.

The DLCs were just a matter a pride, in my opinion. They realized that after the worst development hell that we have known in a while, the game was a shitty game. It sold like crazy simply because people had been waiting on it for a long time, so they decided to fix it to save face on the negative feedback.

I agree. But also, asking for clarification on why it was initially included is needless. I mean, there may be multiple reasons, but I would be okay with just assuming that in this occasion the offensiveness required the development team to be contextually aware to the cultural implications of the inclusion. What I…

To clarify... in the US “black” doesn’t mean a skin color, but the cultural associations of being black. “Black” is not Hispanic black, or Indian black or Arabic black. Black means “African American black”... and, I guess that in some ocassions “African American from the South” black. That leads to all these cries of…

Exactly!!! The person who signed the NDA was the employee, associate or contractor that leaked the documents. The press didn’t sign any NDA document with Take Two so they should be free to publish whatever they receive.

They’ll defend themselves saying that the statement on the box wasn’t final and that the official agreements were on the URL. Then, if you check the URL, you’ll notice that (the same as most others from other companies) it has this statement:

1. I don’t think that Valve is a tooth fairy, but you know that they’re getting their HUGE share of profits from the store, right? I mean, supporting a developer that had an issue with a release wouldn’t have been out of place here. The issue is that they want to make profit from games being sold on their platform,…

Not having microtransaction isn’t a good thing for the developers if they’re putting their game out for free. For gamers, no one is going to complain about free stuff. I just feel sad for the developers on this one.

I don’t see any good news here. They got robbed, didn’t get any support from Valve and were forced to put their game for free. Now, somehow they need to convince people to pay for it, when they didn’t had a microtransaction process planned in the first place.

Thanks. This is a very detailed article. I’m not a big AC fan, but I pre-ordered the game after I saw the E3 demo (I know... a pre-order... but that Amazon 20% discount though...)

I get all of this, but I think we’re free to chose whatever canon we want, right?

I’ve always thought that the bad things people say of Florida is racism against the latinos that live there. I’ve been to Florida multiple times and never had any major issues.

People talking about how he doesn’t represent gamers and whatever... The only thing I see here is ESPN knowing that people no longer buy sports magazines, so better if they try something new and maybe capture the interest of new public that wouldn’t have bought their magazines before. It’s not about what Ninja has or…

Same criteria as the MLB championship is the “World Series” and the WWF is the World Wrestling Federation.

I agree that the best Joker is when you don’t really know who, or even what, he is.

I always felt that 9/11 somewhat ruined Spider-man for me...

I imagine being a Game Dev playing Uncharted 4 vs a regular player...

If there’s money to be made...

Most people simply don’t want to see what’s front of them. Selective blindness / deafness.

I play WoW exactly the same way. Every time a expansion comes out, I get it, play for a few months and then leave. If the expansion is good, I may level my character to max level. If not, I usually finish leveling up the next time I come back.
