Hey guys! Found the art major!

"years of abuse."

Where the hell is complaining that you have to be online for this to work? Oh wait, that's because that's common sense, something nobody could grasp at the XBox One reveal.

You don't know that... they never got a chance to go into further detail, they were fighting fires from minute zero.

NOOICE! I'M JUST NOOICIN' YOUR NOOICE!

Bummer, ESPECIALLY after the alpha this past weekend, this was easily my most anticipated title.

They all look emo.

Ultimately it's the asshat who did the "swatting". However, this proves a teachable moment to parents to double check that their kids have no personal information in public profiles or maybe take the mic away from them if they're 14 years old and talking trash to strangers online. No news on who the swatter is…

MicroCenter is awesome.

Damn kids these days... everything snaps in place with nice plastic tabs and rounded edges. If you're fingers aren't bleeding by the time you get done building one from plugging in all the MB pins, you're missing out.

What you did there... I see it.

This. Why is this? Every lacrosse player I know feels the need to tell me 10 times that he plays lacrosse.

"The system is perfectly capable of allowing for voice chat in game."

I look at exclusivity as an entirely different issue. The point brought up by a number of the foaming-at-the-mouth neckbeards in those screens is a good one... at the end of the day, XBox users are being asked to pay the same amount for less content. That's shitty, either way you slice it.

During a race? They allow it in lobbies from what I understand, but once the race starts (damn near most of the time you'd be playing the game), chat cuts off.

-It's totally their decisions and strategy to their online feature set that is my deciding factor, though, so yea, I'm going to use their decisions as the main factor in my argument. Their non-commitment to deliver a standard online feature set that every other platform has is the primary reason I'm not picking one up…

How about this...

"Crap like Assassin's Creed seem to revel in being a disconnected mess full of garbage that tries to be "adult" and "gritty" and has no real direction or cohesion to it.... and that has become increasingly prominent in many AAA games.... and I can't stand it."

Unpopular opinion time. Until they come up with even an elementary implementation of a standard online suite of features, I'll be in no rush. That whole real life thing happened and my gaming buddies are no longer close (not that we ever really drove to eachother's places just to play games anyway, why would we? The…

Well written, I really don't get the hate that Kotaku gets on other sites, you guys have some of the most talented writers in the industry.
