Seriously. For the love of god folks, stop preordering. You are the consumer. You are in charge here. You owe publishers nothing.

Yes. Just remarking on the state of 'Video Games' as we know them right now. Multiple editions, downloads, content releases, season passes, etc. There is no, "Full Game: All of it Edition"; until they make that one too, several months later.
This is your daily reminder that gamers are complicit in all of this nonsense.
Tell me about it. Still, while they don't have much, each game is a fairly solid hitter.
/me waves at Sony.
Things have not been easy for the little portable console ever since its launch over 3 years ago. One of the biggest complaints early on after the Vita's release was the lackluster library of games. However, since then, things have picked up somewhat. While it has yet to release a million-selling game in Japan, the…
The new Ms. Marvel is a perfect example of why I tend to prefer Marvel over DC. Because despite all their missteps, they tend to chances that DC simply wouldn't. Another example is the new Ghost Rider, which is a refreshing change of pace. Rather then just give us Johnny Blaze with a different name, Robbie Reyes is a…
Agreed. I see this answer as a self-defeating one. You are essentially paying to bypass portions of a game that you consider to be bad gameplay (as you are not willing to spend the time on it). If the developer is ALLOWING you to bypass it by paying, I believe they are admitting it's not gameplay that's critical or…
No matter how much gamers may hate on them publicly, 1 out of every 10 of them are silently voting with their wallets when it comes to MTX. Many of you may tell me I am ruining gaming by working as a monetization design consultant, but enough of you are buying MTX to continue justifying my existence. Games are both an…
Why do gamers buy MTX? "Microtransactions, when done properly, can help someone like me who has a steady job, a wife, and two kids to be able to enjoy a game that would normally be a very tough time sink," reported one respondent. As someone who feels like there is never enough time in the day to juggle work, family,…
No, Tomb Raider pissed off half the internet. But when Sony does it, it's ok.
They specified best surprises. Not "surprises that piss off half the Internet."
I think he means Link ending up in Mario Kart. I don't think anybody saw that coming.
Ever since the announcement of the Wii U, we've been wondering what it would look like when Nintendo got their feet under them and started to find their stride. Turns out, it looked a lot like their presence at this year's E3. Nintendo showed up cool and confident. They debuted a bunch of interesting new games, from…
Probably my favorite surprise of the year.
Well yeah, if you list their failures and ignore their successes like that, of course they're going to seem like they're going downhill!
"I'm a bit worried for Nintendo"
Same as the massive collusion to create the "GAMERS ARE DEAD" narrative.
This is the disappointments list. The disgraceful embarrassment thread will come later.
