I wish Microsoft would spend more money on making games than on Advertising and buying exclusive rights, my 360 have been not used since two years ago as i have a desktop pc that runs games better than it, while I am still playing the PS3 for exclusives and JRPGs, they should make more first party games, stuff that…

Can you actually play GTA V? If so, you're ahead of the SimCity launch.

The difference is that Sim City didn't even have a functioning single player game due to the online requirement. Also, many of the features EA hyped about the game turned out to be complete bullshit.

because simcity was a single-player game and all the bullshit that accompanied the release was a result of deliberate design decisions. this is pretty different.

The filtering system will also end up matching you exclusively with people who are playing for PvP. If you'd not murder everyone on sight, you'd soon get into only games with cooperative players, if that system actually works yet.

This happened to a Kotaku account but the character/stats was recovered after shutting down and booting back up. So there's hope?

I think the quality of the online play is going to improve after COD Ghosts comes out

Here's my big beef...and something I hope will change over time. Say I'm in a game with 8 friends. 4 of us go off on a 4-person job...sure, it makes sense that it pulls the other 4 out of our world, but it DOESN'T make sense that we're all ejected back out into a new session of free roam, instead of being put back in…

Nothing hypocritical about it. GTA Online is the muliplayer component of GTA V. GTA V's singleplayer can still be played fine.

Rest of the industry? I agree that I'd like games to be released simultaneously (within a few days of each other max), but Nintendo is hardly the only one that released in Japan first.

I gave up on Pokemon after gold/silver.

A lot of the leaks aren't coming from game reviewers, but from people who bought the game from stores that did not abide by the street sale date.

You want game reviewers to wait before being able to review games?
I'd very much prefer the current system where reviews come before release dates... saves a lot of heartbreak.

"Heads rolling" usually means people are being fired, but why would anyone at Nintendo get fired for a store breaking the street date? Nintendo can't control what a store does, so why fire people for something like this?

I am completely on the side of Nintendo, or at least, the side which wants to maintain an air of mystery around the game before it is released.

I think Microsoft is deaf to the variables at hand.
Let's say you're bound to a wheelchair. Or you simply don't want to wave your hands. Or you have been working the whole day and don't want to stand up. Or your house is small. Or you are being ridiculed. And so on.

I see no real future for this other than being a…

You won't fool me again MS. Not after that showing of the original Kinect and then the end product.

There are some areas of genuine concern for men. For instance, there are some issues with how the legal system handles child custody. There are certainly problems with how society regards and responds to domestic violence or rape when committed against men.

The problem with a lot of MRAs is that they try to use these…

They released Portal 2 not that long ago. So yeah.
And I'm sure once they've released their hardware stuff they'll put even more focus on 'em.

EDIT; Oh, and Dota 2, while not an SP game, is still quite a big one.
