2) What are these parents thinking?

It's Kotaku, nobody should really be surprised...

Well then that's entirely different than what I thought you meant! My bad.

There's a handful of materials that can resist lightsabers; so no, they wouldn't be cut off. That said, they could be used to lock sabers, or could cause some extra damage if he were ever able to "saber punch" (punching your enemy with the hilt of your saber while in a saber lock or something). It may not be…

Aside from missing my rather non-important point, I'm curious as to why you're replying to a comment made two and a half years ago.

..."pre-alpha"

Thanks for making it clear that a Far Cry 3 add on is Far Cry 3 but different. Wasn't too clear on that point before this article.

I'm not even going to read the article. The headline is enough to make me realize that a lot of what Kotaku is, is "this game is great!! Play it!!" and a week later "this is actually why that game we said was so good is actually really bad, featuring minor issues that are only brought up by 2% of players!"

I don't care about downloadable CoD-esque Star Wars Xbox games. I don't. I don't want a game that is comparable to the most redundant shooter series of all time.

I didn't realize this was an MMO game. I mean, it's a cool feature, but kind of silly.

Tomb Raider was released on the PC at the same time as its PlayStation and Sega counterparts. Tomb Raider is as much a PC franchise as it is a console franchise. Some of us, like myself, prefer keyboard and mouse. I avoid gamepads whenever possible. As someone mentioned below, they're really only useful for sports and…

It's Kotaku. Do you really expect quality journalism from Kotaku?

wow someone dun goofed

I got this game (as well as Bioshock Infinite) for free with my HD 6870, and with the rest of my rig I'm comfortably above recommended.

okay have fun with your playbox 460

Really? What did you expect? 16 cores with 32GB of RAM and 16GB of VRAM? Maybe they'd slap in a 512GB SSD in a little box designed to sit comfortable inside a small cabinet space.

I'm about 1/3 of the way through A Storm of Swords and I'm not worried at all about the books spoiling the show for me. Season 1 followed A Game of Thrones nearly to the T, and Season 2 started diverging in the details slightly from Clash of Kings, but the overall story arc is the same. But those slight divergence of…

I don't think there's a huge amount of PC players using gamepads. I think most of them are console gamers coming to the PC for games like Skyrim that have a decidedly unique aspect to them on the PC, i.e. mods. But all in all, it's a preference thing. I much prefer the keyboard and mouse. I can adapt just fine to…

The minimum specs are still higher than console specs. So "any decent level of quality" is most any rig that one may game on these days, if they've kept it relatively up-to-date.

Just a bit? Bioware, in my opinion, hasn't written such rich characters since Dragon Age: Origins. Every returning character from ME1 was, to me, a shell of who they were in that game, pandering more to romancing options as well as how they wanted the story to play out, rather than letting the story be driven by the…
