That rule either no longer exists or was a misunderstanding brought on by SCEE using it in their marketing to define what "top rated" meant. I mean, not only is that not true, you can currently download a game thats sub 70 on Metacritic right now. Doki Doki Universe (credited as a Vita giveaway) has an impressive 62 for the PS3 version ( http://www.metacritic.com/g... ), 66 for the Vita ve...
Maybe its just me, but I find the people complaining about the complainers much more annoying than the actual people complaining about PlayStation Plus. Agree or disagree, PlayStation Plus was a program that people largely bought to get access to various subscription based games and to many they're basically paying $50 for approximately 72 games a year. Furthermore, a lot of people forget that while everyone gets the same games / amount, the value differs greatly from person to person. ...
"Just because you can earn coins by other means, easily doesn't mean it's not geared towards microtransactions. Despite being easy to make a lot of coins, it also costs a lot of coins to get any substancial body of unlocks in the game."
Actually, it does. Nothing about the game is "geared towards micro transactions," as there is no necessity to do so. You can earn 5,000 ~ 9,000+ coins a game in Garden & Graveyards and around 3,000+ in other mod...
Sigh~ This article again... though you could have at least done your research.
For one thing, it does suck that Garden Warfare is always online and I would gladly embrace an offline version of Garden Ops or at least the option to play split screen offline, but they've also more than made up for that choice. For one thing, the game comes in at a reduced price (something I don't recall other always online games doing) and Pop Cap has sweetened the deal with free DLC. T...
" Not entirely sure what grounds they intend to sue him on"
Breach of contract? It almost goes without saying they had to have signed some sort of NDA, especially if they had access to something like this, so when they leaked information it logically broke the agreement, which is what Nintendo would again logically sue for.
"Not entirely sure how it will damage sales though."
Depends what is leaked and how. In this case it shouldn't damage sales, but other times, such as the data mining of Destiny, it might. If you missed that one, someone found the name of the other planets, revealed a number (possibly all) the story stages, plus the strikes / raid and revealed a number of other things. Since a lot of people weren't thrilled with some of this information (like there only being...
Not to get into the whole "things should be retail tier" debate (since I just want to play good games and I don't care if 1 person made it or a team of 10,000 made it), but did anyone else find it amusing that right after the comment you quoted they listed 3 games that are on roughly the same footing as Road not Taken?
Anyway, I don't really get this article, since I don't see any reason these titles are somehow high potential Plus titles. Just seems li...

While I can't speak for everyone, I think a lot of people expected Twitch to become another version of YouTube, which has gotten significantly worse over the years. Ignoring all the personal crap that I don't like, Google is very keen on the rights of copyright holders and not most of the users.
One of the most annoying changes in the history of YT is the automatic copyright violation system. Imagine you're me and this happens to you...
"Find it funny though with all the secrecy with the line up yet for Mario Kart 8 they told us everything about it before it came out. "
Why? Alternate characters in Mario Kart are largely cosmetic and aren't that big of a deal. The opposite is true for Super Smash Bros and fighting games in general, since every character has a lot of personality, flare and adds something different to the game. There is also a lot to show off, since I could see Duck Hunt Dog havi...
It was and the NES before that. I believe it became a "Sony exclusive" due to the file size, cost and possibly install base. Something like VII would have been held back and been absurdly costly (discs are cheaper and store more than a cart) on the N64, so they kept it to the PlayStation, which is where it remained until some time later when the Xbox came around.
Well, some people were wondering if the Reign of the Giants DLC would go free, since it's "bundled" with the Vita version and neither this or the original source really clarify if it does or doesn't.
" What's so hard to understand in the article besides the click bait title?"
Also, come on, the article is hard to read / understand. Just look at this bit from the excerpt...
"Sony has announced that the expa...
@ AntsPai
It was collection or both games I believe. I bought them both separately and got the Vita version for free.
@ Iamsuperman
While things can change, you should be safe. Hotline Miami worked, God of War worked and probably others I am forgetting about.
Correct. You can read the PlayStation Blog post here http://blog.us.playstation.... .
All we know is...
"The Giant Edition costs $14.99, and includes the Reign of Giants expansion. This expansion is usually $4.99, and we’ve bundled it in for everyone. It includes new characters, seasons, biomes, and other challenges that will happily kill you."
"BUT! We love you all, so we’re making the game cross buy! If you own Don’t Starve on PS4, you get the Vita version for free, and vice versa. Thank you for supporting our game, and please...
It supports cross-buy?! Talk about a win! Hope that also nets the DLC for free, since I wouldn't mind playing it on the PS4 too. :3
The achievements for Lost Planet 2 weren't that bad, but some of the titles (of which all the achievements were part of) were indeed annoying. Still surprised I did them all.
Like I mentioned in the other article, I really don't see why so many people make this out to be hard / frustrating when it will simply come naturally if you play long enough. Yeah its tedious, I can't deny that, but it certainly isn't as bad as the NUMBER 1 title in Lost Planet 2 (get #1...
"Even multiplatform DDOS attacks don't come to Wii U nowadays :p "
They do, you just need to wait a couple of months. =P
"Honestly, no one deserves to get hacked like this because the only thing you create is millions of people frustrated."
Seriously though, I fully agree. I was hoping to play some Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare, but with this BS going on I instead have to do something else. Thankfully FXX is up to ...
"This so-called Third Party Production team & #buildingthelist is (almost) a fraud, that I have suspicion that little to no-one (?) never wanted a Borderlands 2 & Grim Fandango ports in #buildingthelist Twitter poll back then.."
You act like this stuff is simple, cheap, easy and quick.
For starters, regardless of how popular the campaign was / is, it still boils down to Sega's allowing it to happen. Like they could be okay with it, but ...
What a shock, you just want to be right...
1) Must we argue semantics? You know what I was going for the colloquial meaning and it's also an important distinction to make. Characters are a more substantial part of the game than say a skin and no matter how much you may want the "X-Ray gun skin," most would probably agree they would just deal with not having it than buy countless coins in an effort to get it. Thus the need for the microtransactions is reduced and...
