3 things off that both articles forgot to mention.

It's also a fact that gamers like you are selfish, stupid, and blind, but hey, your loss. I'll just enjoy it for what it is. Even if it somewhat true, and for the most part it is not, then if I think it is worthy and I buy it, then that just means I support the company an want them to make more awesome games and DLC.

U mad, bro?

RE6 will rack you up 20+ hours easy. I played Leon's compaign on normal for 7 hours. Combined with the fact that me and a friend failed a few times, first playthroughs are always a trial and error. Each campaign is about 5-7 hours long depending on the difficulty. If you are playing it on easy, of course you're going…

"How do those damn seashells work anyway?"

Bungie said "conclusion to the story arc" not "The end of Halo and Master Chief." They made this specifically clear in many interviews that Halo 3 was the "conclusion to the story arc." Just how Gears 3 was also the "conclusion to the story arc."

Why do people think Americans are going to be offended by Connor killing Americans? I'm American and I am not offended. I don't care. It's just a video game. I sometimes think the media makes crap up and because a few people complained automatically means it is the "majority."

Same for me. So I played Borderlands 2 instead. I got the feeling even Xbox live couldn't handle that much bandwidth of bullshit.

The thing about this is is that people believe that just because a person held onto a Piece of Eden automatically means that they are a Templar, but the Assassins has pieces too from time to time. Who is to say that every time there was a battle The Templars started it an the Assassins defended it. Assassins could…

Tell me about it. It's not "vote for the best man" it's more like "Who is going to do the less damage?"

Frank O'Conner leaves Bungie.

No, of course I am missing the point. You know when I looked at Splinter Cell Blacklist I wanted the Splinter Cell that I used to play from the first, Pandora Tomorrow, and Chaos theory. I wanted the old time slow paced stealth action that I loved so much. But as I get constantly reminded I should "accept the change"…

"...all of the campaigns devolve into a dull room-clearing, door-opening, boss-fighting cycle of boredom."

LMAO. You know what is the most hilarious? You believing that bringing back the "old elements" would make the game not only scarier, but better. Who are you all trying to kid? You gamers can't even keep an attention span long enough without something being too repetitive or boring.

While you both have fine points and I agree with both of you to a point there is one thing I still don't get which is such an asshole thing neo-gamers do.

I only have four categories for games. The game is either a "Buy it," "Wait till it gets cheap," "Rent," and "Don't bother."

But what about games on the the side of the fence? What about games that got a low score, but were brilliant because they had a good idea and was only lacking because it didn't have the money like some of the so called "AAA" titles did. (Seriosusly, if any low-score game with a good idea had the time and money that…

Chaos Theory had the best of both worlds. Enough action to get out of sticky situations but plenty of stealth that you had to sneak. You call it frustrating, I called it a challenge. So what if I failed and had to re-do it? That was the fun part. Fucking up and re-doing it. If you didn't like it, then don't play it.

I forgot to add. "$5 cheaper" is NOT a discount. I tell gamestop employees this all the time "Why would I buy the game used when for $5 more I can get it brand new?" I even bought cheaper games at Target.

Meanwhile I am buying the SAME brand new games on Amazon for $20 bucks cheaper and getting $10 off my next game purchase. Buy enough and I get a FREE game that I can own, not rent. Along with being able to buy $25 online subscriptions for the year.
