Thing is, I finished reading the entire review, I get what he likes about the game and still; I cannot see how this game is being recommended (which is the essence of a "Yes" here, as there's thankfully no bullsh*t rating system here on Kotaku), as it has so many obvious flaws, as even many articles here on Kotaku…

Not supporting the thesis that you're all driving Ferraris now because Activision dumped you a truckload of money, but I do sorta wonder how you can give this uninspired mediocre game a "Yes".

Well, that's a general problem of such programs and set "quotas" for minorities within corporations: They leave the bad, nasty taste that people from said minorities only made it because of those programs and not because of their personal skills, and will never be able to completely get rid of this stereotype. Those…

Oh my, he got ooold ... I wonder if one day he may look like Palpatine.

More like current 3D-rendered movie style in general, but yeah, it's more like that. Classic "Disney style" will always be the hand drawn movies from the 70s to early 00s to me.

All hail His Gabeness, holy messiah of the chosen ones, the glorious Master Race of gaming, blessed be him and his followers.

Master Race Bait - best bait. It always works. ^_^

Missing quite a bunch here. My own CPU is cooled by a Thermalright Silver Arrow SBE, equipped with an extra third fan. Cools my little 3770K enough to let it run on 4.7 Ghz 24h primestable while still running on low noise, awesomesauce. To top this maybe next time it'll be a water cooling cycle, again. =)

A frame counter is always a good thing, nice of Valve to make it easier for everyone, I've been using Shadowplay for this for half a year now instead of Fraps.

PC Master Race, son. It's called the magic of mods. :3

Would be awesome if the makers of Black Mesa would work together with Valve in an attempt to start a Portal 2-eske ARG to initiate the Half Life 3 pre-release Hype train to finally get started, with the game being finally released this year, giving us hints through stuff like this to uncover..

Wanna peek?! Shame on you, get your filthy hands off my Liara!

Thanks. As I said: In that case it's very impressive.

Is that in-engine pre-rendered in CE3 or running realtime?!

They do have a point though: Sony and MS are both milking their customers for something as basic as online play with a payed subscription, making tens of millions off of it each month. It is straightout laughable that a bunch of Script Kiddos can bring both their services simultanously down with some LOICing. Sony…

Yeah, Twitter is great, but suuuuucks for actual discussions.

Saying the well has been poisoned is a dramatic understatement of epic scale.

They won't go away because people are not rioting against it and instead there are people out there that actually spend money on it. Adding the option for microtransactions doesn't cost much and don't actually bother players who dislike using them, but a certain demographic WILL use it, so it's basically free,…

Problem is, there are many good people in Gamergate that have very honorable goals and come up with proven arguments and are willing to politely discuss, but on the other hand you have far noisier people that come up with insults and threats, and these are the people getting all the coverage and are being seen as…

I'm confused now, I thought us gamers would be dead, and now we are being all celebrated as gamers of the year?! Does this make it some kind of a Zombie Award?! My head is about to explode ...
