Yeah. Speaking of Ubisoft, a lot of current gen gamers complained about the performance of Assassin's Creed III on PS3 and 360, and if they can't make that engine perform any new miracles this year then maybe those big series will pull customers across.

Yeah, I guess they've got to be careful with people's expectations without underselling the gen.

There's an unfortunate effect that, as long as current gen gamers resist and say, "Hey, I can still buy Assassin's Creed V/VI/VII, and anyway it's not THAT great on next-gen", we'll have a self-fulfilling prophecy going on.

Fair point, but I'd argue otherwise.

If you mean the OS, I think it's very focused. It does a lot of things well, and they've found a way to make it all feel like a single environment, with a layer of OS dedicated to allowing instant flipping from task to task. They've correctly realised that the worst thing about operating a console, between switching…

Sometimes it does. Smartphones are built on that idea, and they're the tech success story of the century so far.

I thought these space marines were supposed to be hard? What kind of coward wears mechanical body armour to shoot piglets?

Yes, I was hoping that wasn't his entire point. The quote doesn't make New Scientist's editor worse than him at all, and it was totally unrelated to religion, proof or belief.

"We think science is interesting, and if you don't agree you can fuck off"

I take it you're dialling back a veeeery long way here?

Their advertising team must have been replaced many times over in all these years of shitty campaigns. The whole organisation is a scam, and it needs to be dissolved. I'm tired of these parasites sucking funds away from genuinely good causes (both in animal and human rights).

I think it's probably helped to harden more people against vegetarianism, by providing them with such an easily defeated ideological opponent, than it's ever persuaded to become vegetarian.

I can even spin a story out of it.

The comments are not edited at all in the jpegs, as far is I can tell. They're all listed numerically in an unbroken chain starting from #1.

Except that's rubbish, because the game doesn't have to have come out today. It's already out, and we're talking about it today, and none of those things have happened. Bully came out on Wii, PC and 360 in 2008, and both Kotaku and Jezebel were up and running at that time, and they had another shot in 2012 when it…

As more homosexual content appears in games to allow for more diverse tastes, the trick is in it not making the same mistake, or worse, in becoming some kind of joke or way of 'trolling' heterosexual players

It's him again, isn't it

I did the same thing. I didn't do it because of a distaste for religion, but I'd be lying if I said that looking for a way around it wasn't fuelled by my lack of belief; it probably was triggered by that.

Patricia Hernandez only writes some of the articles about these social and political issues, but you'd also have to filter Kirk Hamilton, Steven Totillo, Owen Good, Evan Narcisse and probably more names I can't think of right now. I don't think there's a single person on the staff who isn't pro-homosexuality, or…

Woah there. Sexual harassment is a component of your sexuality?
