You're glossing over the important point of the tax breaks. Municipalities use the breaks as incentives to convince corporations to set up shop in their city/county/state/country which brings jobs which fuel the local economy. Taking away those tax breaks convinces corporations to consider moving their business…

The whole point is people were calling the new version nothing more than "a pc port" and kirk's pointing out that it's a little more than that. That's the point you guys seem to be missing.

PC fanboys were poo-pooing the new release as nothing but a PC version on console and this points out that it's more than that. That's kinda the point.

My main issue with hyper-realistic games is the fact that it is SO expensive to make. The more realistic a studio tries to make their games, the more artists and render programmers you need to develop those looks which either forces them to sacrifice elsewhere or increase the budget accordingly. AAA games nowadays…

"Sure you don't get to play the games you get with it if you don't have a subscription..."

"The only advantage to GwG is you get to keep the games forever"

Lol, 'fanboy response'? You're projecting. I've owned MS and Sony consoles and have bounced between the two for my primary console gaming fix, so I've got no stake in which one is 'better' unlike so many people around here.

10 dollars is still 10 dollars. I mean, seriously, they're giving you something at no additional cost. Is it not 'free' enough for you or something? If a barista at a coffee shop offers to give you 10 dollars for being a regular at their store, would you throw it back in their face because it's not 20? Would btch…

Depends on how you use it. If you're maintaining a subscription for years on-end and have the time to play any and every game that they give out that you want to play right then and there, then PS+ will likely be the better solution for you. If, on the other hand, you aren't someone who maintains a constant…

Yeah, that adds absolutely nothing constructive to the conversation. Well done.

Why is it that everybody btching about the age of the free games immediately assumes everyone, everywhere bought these games at launch? These are good games that still hold up, and MS is giving them to subscribers at no additional cost. For people who subscribe to Gold and haven't played these games before, it's a…

Anyone else find the gameplay video more interesting muted with the Sonny Rollins song playing as accompaniment, instead?

The Hero's Journey is the basis for a lot of fiction in multiple media types, but that's besides the point. The point is that you were essentially railing against this release as pointless while everyone here is pointing out that you aren't the target consumer and this release is far from pointless in the…

Do we have a source for that info, because that seems nonsensical. I mean, for one thing, the PC version was a port of the console version. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense to port the port back to console when the original console version is, functionally, probably closer to what the latest gen console version…

Why do you people always assume publishers are 'forcing' you to rebuy the game? These upgrade releases are primarily for people who have the new console but don't have the previous version of the game. People who already own the game on the older system aren't the primary target, here. It's not like the older…

Pointless point. Square enix has no say on what the console makers do with regards to backwards compatibility. Are you saying that they shouldn't have made an upscaled version of the last game for the latest gen consoles simply because the console makers refused to add that feature? Latest gen consoles aren't…

How's it a slippery slope? The whole point of punitive justice is to use punishment of criminals as a means to dissuade people from doing the same thing, which means the punishment needs to be serious enough to convince people that the crime isn't worth the risk, and public enough so that people know that the crimes…

Sure it's only anecdotal, but the vast majority of people I know are smart enough to know the difference. Carlson's simply calling out the fact that you're making these broad generalizations without any real proof while condemning people for making generalizations. Is your statement true? Maybe, maybe not. The…

"Go outside anywhere in the U.S., or Europe and ask a passer bye what they know of Islam... unless they are a muslim, or they studied Islamic history, that's the "general" response you'll get from your average westerner."
...that's a pretty big generalization, right there. Carlson had a point, and you were so quick to…

It all depends on how culturally diverse a region is. In areas like California and NYC with large asian, italian, mexican, etc. populations, people tend to be more aware of the nuances of 'foreign' cuisine, while areas in the central US that have less exposure to foreign culture (even Americanized versions of foreign…
