It's because the people at RARE, at least the people that are there now, have failed Microsoft AND their fans time and time again. Microsoft paid an otherworldly amount of money to aquire them, and at no point had they come close to making that worthwhile financially. Ghoulies, PDZ, and Kameo ranged from being…

Ryse is awful, I agree on that, but I completely disagree with Killer Instinct. I played it at E3 and found a lot to like about it. I'm not a hardcore fighting game player, but i'm nowhere near casual either.

I found the combo system pretty quick to learn and it was quite clear very quick that none of the "button…

I disagree, Rare has proven themselves incapable of producing anything beyond Kinect games.

A generation is defined by time, not specs. If it were as you explain it, then you could not qualify as part of your generation if you are inferior to your parents or peers.

No, a generation is defined by time, each console generation has consisted of a set time period. The Wii U was the first of the major three…

Most of your comment was pretty fair, until the end, where (if i'm deciphering your odd terms correctly) you sort of state i'm some sort of fanboy or paid off or blindly ignorant? I'm not quite sure.

And that's fine, you won't be buying it so you won't be enjoying it.

I on the other hand have been playing it for about a week now. It's been a big hit with my friends and has become the preferred version by all my friends that I played D3 on PC with.

The game isn't bad at all, it's just people online making a big fuss and overly dramatic reactions.

It's not the same game as Diablo II, there are many design choices that make it a less hardcore investment, but it is still a satisfying and well-built dungeon crawler. With the console version you are also getting the…

That's not a terribly great argument. Competing consoles are usually built quite a bit different from each other down to the way code is written and read, as opposed to DVD players which all just read the same format of video.

If you want to bring Movies into this, then you wouldn't want to compare DVD players, rather,…

Older. My gamecube is hooked up to my hdtv in the living room, but only because my friends and I still regularly play Melee. For a while my dreamcast was kept out there as well.

Yeah, the SNES will always be my favorite platform. I think it had an incredible software lineup, but that doesn't mean i'm solo nostalgia hungry for the Big N (Play it Loud! Get N or Get Out! Now You're Playing with Power! etc, etc).

Hooked up in my retro game room right now is an NES, SNES, N64, Gamecube, Wii,…

Ok, see, my confusion is in you referencing KI and then directly referencing Infinity and Skylanders without making a clear enough distinction between them.

I thought you were pooling KI in with the same calibur of wallet-slaughtering.

What part about TWENTY DOLLARS is ludicrously expensive to you? Whether you buy the full game at once or purchase characters individually, you only pay $20. Yes, individually characters cost more than $20 at $5 a pop, but it cuts you off after you have spent $20 total and gives you all of them.

Even later next year…

Nope, I'm a long time Diablo fan. Been playing since the first, I actually still have the PS1 version of Diablo 1 as well.

I don't really know how "ignorant" we are for thinking this game will go free to play within a year considering every other large-scale MMO has suffered the same fate due to disinterest.

The huge amount of casual Elder Scrolls players, like the ones who purchase it on consoles (this game is getting a major console…

My thoughts exactly. Playing Diablo III is one of the most addicting and fun experiences I had in the past couple years with a group of friends. It wasn't til we hit 60 and got into the end-game stuff where it fell apart.

In what way is this "greedy and evil"?

You get the whole game, with every feature available to you (including online play) with Jago for free.

If you want to buy the entire game at once, it's only TWENTY DOLLARS.

Yes, it was confirmed in an interview with IGN. If you want to upgrade it only charges you the difference between what you spent already and $20, then top's off your game to the complete version.

Did I also mention that regardless of how many characters you purchase, it will never cost you more than $20 to own the full game?

If you spend $15 and buy three characters, it will only cost you $5 to "top-up" and get the rest of the content.

Oh my lord, what a scam.

1. It is accurate. Comparing it to other f2p games is nonsense because almost every f2p game has a different philosophy on what's free and what's paid content. As with the majority of f2p games Killer Instinct does give you the "full" core content experience, you can play the game in its entirity, online and offline,…

Some of the staff that worked on the original Killer Instinct is working at Double Helix on the new game.

Having played the game myself at E3, I am confident in my defense that it's a very solid fighter, higher quality than anything modern Rare has put out in the past few years, and completely undeserving of the…
