I don't see why they're pluralizing it though. Wouldn't they be able to just use "Silent Hill" without breaching copyrights since they are making a reboot and it actually being Silent Hill rather than being "Quiet Knoll".

Wouldn't you say the climbing mechanics in just about all the AC games have been rather stiff, though? Same with the free-running altogether? I don't quite see why focusing heavily on improving the free-running aspect is something to turn down the game.

It can indeed add a lot of variation if it is fluid enough and done well enough. And this may even translate to combat improvements as well since the fluidity in the free-running mechanics is a much more complex task t...

I agree to some extent but I honestly feel that there is no point to be up in arms about it as all they're getting is a world map and a deck of poker cards. Had it been the necklace or statue, then I'd see the point in it.

The way I see it, any business that blows off servicing their customers for being less than a day past warranty does not deserve business. And any customer that simply sits there and pays for what should have been free is an idiot for not seeing they're being taken advantage of. It should always matter how long after expiration it is.

Indeed I was lucky. I only wanted my PS3 fixed, I wasn't trying to get it done free. Going to the competitor that hadn't yet done a...

That was my personal experience. If you don't believe me, then that's your prerogative but that doesn't change the fact that it happened. And no, you didn't have to pay for the repairs if the 360 RRoD'ed if it was in warranty. Mine was less than one day out of warranty and they demanded I pay for it. Sorry, but that is simply poor customer service and bad business. I can understand a few days or a week later but not mere hours after.

And in my case, Sony d...

I used to love my PlayStation... until the fan cut my junk up something bad. /stupidjoke

I love Sony due to the fact that when my original 80GB fat PS3 died three years after warranty, they repaired and sent it back to me for free after I expressed to them my disappointment with Microsoft (without me even asking them to, they just offered to do it free). Whereas Microsoft refused to repair my RRoD'ed 360 unless I payed them because it was literally just a few hours out of warranty when I called.

Supposedly, he and Mac Walters wrote ME3's original ending with absolutely no peer review and just shoe-horned it in. Because none of the other writers had any say in the ending, in addition to how poorly written and presented it was, many showed disdain towards Hudson and Walters. The fact that he outright refused to speak to any customers at all was taken as an admission of guilt. Especially after he broke silence and gave the impression that Mass Effect was HIS game and not the fans...

It is possible that the PS4/XB1 exclusive, Unity, will focus on continuing the Juno storyline. A separate but related story arch to the previous one with Desmond. After all, I feel it is kind of a dick move to go "want to find out the ending of this arch? Spend $460" rather than just starting a new arch in a relatively self-contained way on the new consoles. Though, it still could have been done on AC4.

"What will happen?" EA will blame the big, bad consumer for discriminating against the tiny and honest corporation that they are by not buying their always pure-quality games.

...Wait, consumers have the right to purchase what they want?... EA is a MASSIVE corporation?.... And EA is largely lazy, incompetent, and obsessively greedy?... Well fuck me, I guess.

I wouldn't be surprised if they did both, even though I doubt they will.

One reason I can think of is how most modern music sucks. There's quite a few good ones but I'd bet Justin Beiber would get more exposure than competent musicians like Nightwish.

Exactly, that's what I've done with most games and is why I even enjoyed games like Divinity 2.

Not the first time. I've heard music from Final Fantasy, LA Noire, and even Mass Effect on various shows. I once watched an interesting documentary a while back and the Uncharted track from the original Mass Effect came on in the background.

They really should. They really talked up SixAxis on the Dualshock 3 and barely anyone used that in their games. After playing Folklore, I really enjoyed the feature. So hopefully Sony will actually get developers to implement it somehow.

CoD, Battlefield, and many other FPS games don't have a fuss about them due to them being FIRST person. It is fairly easy for anyone with a functioning brain to simply imagine they're playing a female character with little to nothing breaking that immersion.

GTA has quite a large number of people wanting a female protagonist. I'm one of them, as it would be rather refreshing. I feel the same way about Assassin's Creed. While I want them, no I won't whine a...

I haven't watched WWE in several months but they often went out of their way to show Cena even after Summerslam and TLC. He cannot go one year without holding the title once or twice. Being a 15-time champion over the course of nine years is very annoying. Even more so due to his superman character getting having been stale for the better part of the decade.

Like it or not, it involves gaming and thus is gaming news. That said, this site really should try to stick to maybe one article per subject and link other articles that are the same topic so nobody has to search for the news they want to see or be bombarded by "Gaming causes violence/sexism/racism" idiocy left and right.
