I agree with what you're saying, but I think the problem is that every single article by Kotaku about RE6 has to mention something about negative reviews, even when that bit of information (which is contestable at best and woefully misrepresentative at worst) is completely irrelevant to the news covered in the

Beat me to it.

If a game is scoring 8's or 9's at all (and RE6 has had more than a few), I'm not sure how you can call it "a critical bloodbath." Kotaku sure is trying really hard to make people think this game is universally derided, and that simply isn't true - regardless of what you may think of the game personally.

Nailed it. Too much of this "survival horror" critique is based on outdated nostalgia, and I say that as someone who LOVES survival horror games. No one seems to remember everyone bitching about tank controls in Code Veronica - if Capcom tried that today, they'd be criticized for being out of touch and antiquated. I

I think you're very much correct, but I'm surprised how many people overlook the fact that RE has been an action game for the past 3 entries (4 if you count Revelations) - most of the "it's not horror anymore!" criticisms I've seen put the blame solely on RE6. I'm not sure why people don't realize that this has been

I rather enjoyed David Liss' recent run on the character, when Black Panther replaced Daredevil as the protector of Hell's Kitchen. It was a solid street-level superhero book with an attractive pulp sensibility.

Agreed. 7 levels seems like way too few for 15 bucks, especially considering the ones they picked: Hangar is basically just a re-skin of Warehouse as it is.

LOTR Online?

The only reason I clicked through this story was to see if someone had posted about this bit.

I guess I just didn't see it that way. That particular quote ("...he just pays to cheat at video games") didn't seem at all like a "it's not that big a deal!" type dismissal to me. I think he just wanted to paint the cheaters as human, which is precisely what they are - I think his portrayal of the cheater was a bit

I don't really understand the negative reaction to the original article. I felt it was a pretty solid piece of games JOURNALISM, which is something you very rarely see. The gaming community as a whole has been so indoctrinated with "articles" that reflect their own opinions that they apparently don't know how to

If I remember correctly, you actually do flip between various characters throughout the course of the game. I got the impression it was similar to switching narrators in different chapters of the book(s).

Because that's not obvious sarcasm.

I fail to see how your arguments are anymore valid or based on fact than mine were. If you don't like Uncharted, that's fine, but don't paint one of the best developers of the modern era as unoriginal because of it. I'll openly admit my admiration for Naughty Dog, and if that makes me a fanboy that's totally fine, but

Yes, groundbreaking.

There is literally nothing in this trailer that could conceivably lead you to believe this game was going to be anything like Left 4 Dead.

How is the lag? I was under the impression that you could go into the amp mode (or whatever it's called) and mess around with different effects while playing freestyle. That's almost worth the price in and of itself for me, unless the lag is noticeable (or if I was just incorrect in assuming that this was a

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that they were thinking about adding on bass support via dlc.

Games "journalism" is such a joke. Like any other kind of entertainment journalism, it's nothing more than another arm of the industry's publicity department.

I'd argue that Uncharted isn't a wanna-be Indiana Jones so much as it's a wanna-be pulp/adventure/movie serial.
