your very lucky, to this day its a crap shoot if i can boot up FC3 because Uplay likes to crash and screw me over every chance it gets.

You do realize that before Origin they were selling their games just fine on Steam right? They removed games from steam after opening Origin just to force people to use their POS malware.

To be fair, there was no direct standard to what steam was doing, nobody at the time was saying steam sucks compared to X, and it had to weather a very harsh storm of criticismin its own right. Origin and Uplay on the other hand have walked into an evolving and competitive market with absolutely godawful inferior…

I kind of understand that sentiment, Uplay is not nearly as bad as Origin though. Origin is not even remotely close to a "best interest" for EA, they removed games from legit sales channels specifically to further push their malware on other people. There's a reason the mass effect collection on steam only includes…

hey man... lets not jump to any hasty conclusions... Every time I stomp zombie head in as Leon I stop and think to myself, you know whats missing from this game that will make it so much better, not any semblance of a plot, nor an actual feeling of impending danger, no no no whats missing is a giant ass Nike swoosh on…

I Agree with you on all points, but TBH I would say 4 is where they started to go screwy in terms of the story and the combat (Introduction of all the QTE nonsense). The introduction of Las Plagas opened the floodgate for the bullshit mutations that they then used in 5 and 6. That said the gameplay was relatively well…

Pokemon X/Y and Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate should be on the list as well. If you don't already have them, they are well worth purchasing the console just for those 2 games.

It shouldn't matter honestly whether or not the person making their decision is ignorant or lazy, the fact of the matter is there is no one forcing their hand. That is the essence of Free Market capitalism, no one has taken their freedoms, they are slave to their own ignorance and/or laziness. I am on your side in…

I must ask but Michael "Kitty Cat Bulldozer" Pachter? I really need to know the story behind this nickname, it sounds like a terribly tragic story of either a bulldozer made out of cats, or cats being bulldozed.

Forgive me if im wrong but isn't that EXACTLY how free market capitalism is supposed to work? I mean isn't that why we have advertisements everywhere, more than likely his work is essentially advertisement and nothing more. Doesn't make him any less of a dick though.

In all fairness, while he is totally a tool, the vita SHOULD have crushed the 3DS but for lack of games... It has better gimmicks and the screen is better than the original 3DS in both size and functionality, as in no need for a stylus and front/rear touchpads. That said, I play my 3DSXL WAAAAAAAAAAY more than my…

I honestly don't know about MS and Sony ever being at the same price point like that, Maybe the other way around where Sony starts bundling the eyetoy2 or whatever its called and raises their prices to xB1 levels and still sell just the PS4 cheaper, or the xB1 stops selling with mandatory kinect, that might work, but…

Final Fantasy XIII themed coasters you mean?

lol true enough, but I have a hard enough time trusting my controller when I play those games. It would be awesome to play the game like that though.

I kinda feel like the way that the animation is done, this was the desired effect as well. It gives it more of a cute "oh look its hand drawn by a child" feel to it and it works brilliantly.

Dear god please don't give them even the hint of that idea... So many broken tv's and various other furnishings. The lets plays would probably be hilarious though.

Lol well at this point blaming any specific console when everyone seems to be experiencing the problem across the board would just be pointless arguing for the sake of arguing. Especially when we have seen indications that it is pretty much happening across the board.

The argument is actually, if it is considered a sport than it will be easier for these "athletes" (read non-athletes) to get visas or other ability to go to other countries and compete for money. If i don't recall correctly there have been a few articles here on kotaku on how hard it is for these guys to come to a…

Dude, not to be that guy but your about one or two posts away from falling afoul of Godwins law on that one...

Just curious, I mean Im not saying these things don't happen, but how much do you play BF4? I have not experienced any of these things personally, and i feel like many people are overblowing the issues. What system are you using to play the game? Cause my PS4 seems to run it fine, and i've logged about 30-40 hours.
