The old store interface was a mess. It was quick to find stuff if you knew exactly where to look, but there was no discovery of new items. When they first implemented it, it was fine and much improved over the last store, but over time, as they added new features (like PS Plus and Day One Digital and sales and all…

They literally JUST implemented it and you're already complaining that it isn't flawless. Wow.

When they showed this feature off in the original video, it all clicked for me. Perfect for parents. Genius.

Nooooooooo. I liked social linking more than battling. It's why I absolutely hated the FES expansion, The Answer. All battling, no social linking. Essentially no story. Awful.

Went back to Episodes from Liberty City like a week or so ago, and I gotta tell you, Liberty City does not look at good as I remember. Much flatter, much lower resolution textures, not as smooth or sharp, color scheme kind of bland (okay, that's because I was playing Lost & Damned). But these definitely look…

Kudos to Evil Geniuses. That's honestly a very professional mature move on their part.

Also, seriously, "butthurt" is such a dumb, ignorant word. I just cannot wait until it gets retired in favor of something even more dumb and ignorant.

Because they're engaging. They're not all high art, but they're fun and engaging, and that's often enough to make people want to experience it on their own. Assassin's Creed is a great example. It's a series that relies on twists and keeping people guessing, and people love that. Is it Shakespeare? No, but then again,…

I wish they'd just give people month-long bans for posting Halo 4 spoilers. I don't care about Halo at all, but that's just really shitty. I get that it's that raw feeling of having affected someone else's life in a tangible way, but it's just pathetic to achieve that by undermining three years of work by a lot of…

I read an interview fairly recently where 343 said they weren't going to show his face because a) the mystery is part of the appeal, and b) it's already described in the books, so what's the point? Is this actually from the game? I don't really care about Halo, so I'm just curious given that interview.

What are you talking about? The cars are shiny and detailed but the world is flat and sparse and the people look so bad that I'm puzzled as to why they even showed them. For a crowd-funded and developed game, it looks great, but seriously, it does NOT look as good as Battlefield or Crysis.

I really thought this headline meant we had another NBA Elite basketball Jesus fiasco on our hands. Then I remembered what Lost Planet is about.

So, in this fellowship... Kirk is Legolas, right?

I don't even get your definition of awful. Collection box sets have a lot of information to convey to a consumer, and this one does it a hell of a lot more attractively than most.

Yeah, I really don't like when this was released either. I really love the style of it, but I know basically nothing about it. Just got announced like a week or two ago and now it's out. I don't know if it's fun yet or anything and I'm knee-deep in Dishonored with about ten other games I want to play either coming…

"But you could also argue Corvo's quest for vengeance is a much more personal motivator than Gordon Freeman's guilt."

I don't know, man. If they consistently encouraged people to spend $80 (subtracting the $20 from the rebate) every month, that'd make pretty incredible business sense. Most people don't spend nearly that much.

To whoever designs Kotaku's graphs: "Giant Bomb," not "GiantBomb." Common mistake.

In Dead Space, you press Circle.

Does Polygon have their own RSS feed yet? Every time I try to subscribe it just gives me "The Verge - All Posts" and that's not what I want. I just want the gaming stuff.
