I think your idea is great. The "I borrowed a physical game disk from someone who's on my friends list" concept should allow you able to play the game without having to pay the fee, and Microsoft should try to implement something like that.

It's interesting in my experience. In the online world, I've seen mostly negative attitudes, or at the very least very questioning attitudes, with limited positive response.

Out in the real world, I've mostly been met with either a complete lack of knowledge, or quite positive.

But the thing is, the ones that were…

It's going to suffer a grievous wound in the final segment of the game that it will never be able to recover from and the player will have to make the moral choice to euthanize it or not.

"Pay us real money, or dog gets it!"

Like people come to Kotaku for "real journalism" ;)

I hope they kill the dog and eat it for survival.

Can I play as a female soldier with a husky instead of a german shepherd?

No?

Ok call me when these features are included.

honestly, CoD: Ghosts was the most interesting thing about the presentation. And I don't like CoD games.

That sounds like very interesting experience

Is it weird this picture is turning me on?

Why oh why would it be, that people have such a fucked-up image of gamers... I just don't see where that could possibly come from.... hahaha.

And yet again another weapon for politicians and lobbyists to use against video games. I hope your massive lulz were worth it when Super Mario is rated M for Massive Turtle Murder Simulator.

I know for plagiarism the material has to be 80% different than the source material in order to not be considered illegal. So if just the face portion of the whole cowl and helmet setup takes makes that up, then perhaps the same rules apply?

Just for the sake of comparisons, here is a gif.

People disliked the ending not because Shepard dies. People disliked it because it's, to put it simply, terrible and pretty much undo everything you accomplished in the game. The indoctrination theory tries to save it somehow, giving fans hope that there is something more than just choosing between blue, red or green…

I'm just sticking with the theory that the ending and any given scene involving Kai Leng were horribly written.

I want a less linear game, like Skyrim but applied to the ME Universe. I could honestly live in it all day, and it would be nice to see the effects of our decision. In fact, an awesome premise would be rebuilding the mass relays to link all the species back to each other (since they're destroyed in all the endings, I…

In the Japanese version of FF7 it was possible to revive Aeris without cheat codes. For some reason this was left out of the NA/EU versions.

Well, you'd think that the characters who actually died in the game would've gotten an invite if the Citadel DLC were purgatory. Or did Mordin, Thane, and Legion just go to a different afterlife than the rest of us?

It seems like much of what can be attributed to subtle genius can also be attributed to lazy writing.
