This is one of the reasons why Sony hasn't been doing so well in recent years: They lack focus. Apple puts out a handful of quality products and focuses all their attention on those, and they sell like crazy. Sony has none of that. Kill off the PSP; concentrate solely on Vita.

Every time he says Mr. Wayne...

People exaggerate how depressing it is. It's OK, nothing spectacular.

Hot Pursuit was nothing like Burnout. In Hot Pursuit, all I did was drive in a very linear path and try to catch up with or lose other cars. That was it. The handling was much heavier and more realistic than Burnout, too. I got really burned out on Hot Pursuit within a few hours despite being really excited for it. I

The only thing I don't like so far is that they didn't rip off the death mechanic of Smash Bros. They still haven't really explained how characters die in this. The "knocking dudes off of levels" mechanic in Smash Bros. is super fun. That's the kind of thing you should TOTALLY rip off.

I'm on Team Soap.

Just like last year. Very few surprises last year made for a relatively boring E3. I don't know if the press is getting better at sniffing out this stuff or if we're just prone to more leaks now, but either way, I don't like it.

You don't address the "bittersweet victory and sadness" aspects at all, and neither do most people. Asking for the option for a happy ending doesn't automatically mean you want some dumbed down, Hollywood ending where everything magically works out. It just means you want the OPTION. Paragon and Renegade choices

Yeah, but he ALSO said that he wanted the options of "bittersweet victory and sadness" too, but you totally ignored that. All he was saying was that he wanted the hundreds of choices made over the course of dozens of hours of gameplay to matter, and the consequences in the end to reflect that, good OR bad.

Personally, I'm not that big of a Mass Effect guy, so I don't have any real investment in this particular case. I'm simply saying that, in general, I think day-one DLC is annoying because those are your two options: shell out on the first day so you'll have it for your first playthrough, or play without it and wonder

And that's the point. Now I have to either buy it or wonder throughout the entire game, "What am I missing if I had bought it?" For the first playthrough of such an anticipated game, that's pretty low.

I'm saying that it's just focus. If we were on a movie review site, I'd talk about movies. But we're on a game site. I don't think it devalues my opinion because I didn't IMMEDIATELY launch into a rant about society in general. Besides, it still rings true about video games even if I say, "...but video games aren't

Day-one DLC is too early for me. Give me a chance to enjoy the game as it is, not wonder what I'm missing unless I fork out another ten bucks on the first day I have it. Release it two weeks or a month after release. Nobody's saying you need to wait a year.

Yeah, but that's a plus sign.

"So, why take a shit on videogames for doing the same?"

It has plenty of personality. Battlefield + Team Fortress 2. That's twice the personality of a normal game. That's how math works, I think.

Stuff like this is starting to annoy me a lot more. I'm just so tired of the creepy hyper-sexualization of women in games. Just go look up porn if that's what you're after because this shit just makes gaming look terrible.

It's not really about fearing change, more about whether a developer should revamp a franchise so much that the fundamental "point" of that franchise gets lost. Plus, I played the new Medal of Honor, and it wasn't very good. That doesn't really help.

I kind of wish the Medal of Honor franchise stuck to the conceit of the old games, that you're basically just one guy who goes above and beyond, hence why he earns the Medal of Honor, rather than what it is now, where it's all about the value of your fellow soldiers. That message is all well and good, but I feel like

Me: "4am to 8am EST, who the f—- is going to use this on the East Coa—ohhhhhhhhh."
