The clarification just makes it worse.

As much as I agree with your critique of the level's game play and its relevance to the rest of the game's chief mechanics, I have to say that this level is the very definition of a necessary evil. The events transpired in it are necessary for the story, and the developers could have given us either a long and…

Excellent point.

I don't think they were winging it. Obi-Wan told Luke the story he needed to hear, that his father was a good man who proudly served the Republic. Think about that immortal line from Ep. 5—"What I told you was true, from a certain point of view." In other words—he straight-up lied by omission. He deceived Luke into…

I see your point, but I think we forget that a villain's—not just Palpatine's, but any villains—major downfall tends to be their own arrogance. Palpatine was secure in the knowledge that he was the Emperor for the rest of all time, and that his authority would be perpetual and unchallenged. He probably didn't even…

Isn't Anakin tricked into thinking that Padme died before giving birth in Ep. 3 though? I seem to remember the Emperor telling him that—that's what elicited that epic scream/shout/moan "NNNNNOOOOOO!!!!!!"

Pretty much the same arguments I've been hearing, along with enumerating the ways that possessing a broken game is somehow the consumer's fault and not the company's.

Remember the limited edition collector's comic that was advertised on the original arcade cabinets for MK and MK2? I have both of them.

This is probably the most important step. I've lost count of how many times I've been shouted down by apologists when actually holding a game, developer, or publisher to task. Way too many people are just unwilling to admit that, hey, their favorite thing is flawed.

I've not played Destiny, but I make it a point to read everything I come across about it because it's such a contentious game and I like to stay informed about the gaming world as a whole, not just my niche in it. With that being said, I just don't understand why, despite how fun the game is at a basic level, why…

Short answer: the higher the numbers—including price—the better.

AMD 8350 4.0 GHz: check.

Is it just me or is this trailer all epic and dark and super serious guys?

I cannot tell you how happy this makes me. This game is the kind that I just want to guzzle down, but so much of it I just don't understand. Plots and warfare are especially vexing.

Context and tone are actually fairly straightforward and objective terms and don't enter into the qualitative analysis of a work.

Of even greater concern to me is how long will Sony and Microsoft continue to support their online networks for their respective systems?

You're right; definitions do change all the time. And if people keep using censorship as this all-encompassing term for "anytime something is changed, edited, or voluntarily taken out of circulation by a government or private entity" then it will, eventually change.

I can forgive not including Destiny but how did Watch Dogs *not* make this list?

Because by equating a private business choosing not to distribute content to the government suppressing free expression, you're devaluing the latter. On that note, by definition, Steam is not a *public* forum. It's privately owned and moderated. It may be a place of *public accommodation* (like a restaurant or grocery…

That's probably the best explanation as to why this game deserves all of the disgust thrown at it, and why comments that were all like, "I CANNOT WAIT FOR THIS GAME IT'S GOING TO BE SO AWESOME!" on Steam are a little unsettling.
