Play games, not sales.

If your grammar in the first sentence is correct, then it's a little offensive, otherwise never mind.

I fully agree with your reasoning, but if focus groups and catering to the layperson has taught this industry anything it's don't listen to them. How often have you seen a franchise go south after going for a casual approach just for a bigger sell. Nine years after Invisible War and it's still going on. Thankfully not with Human Revolution though.

Where the hell did they find these focus testers. Clearly whoever they were didn't have a clue.

I'll hazard a guess that their next announced service will be called Tiger Blood.

I don't intend to offend but that sounds a little elitist.

Why can't PCs and consoles co-exist and each cater for everybody. Yes shooters may be better on PC, but they are just as playable on consoles.

I say the more outlets we have, the better. It encourages competition and at the end of the day that can only benefit the gamer.

Attempting to form an opinion.................... Failed! Not enough info.

As someone who games on PC and console I can see the advantages and disadvantages of both sides. At this point in time I can still see PCs being too much trouble for a layperson, whereas a console is still pick-up-and-play.

Looking good, shame I don't have a 360. Unfortunately I'm not going to buy a console for one game.

Is that the best you can do? If you must know my entire life is centred around my family, all wrapped up in my career to provide for that family. Gaming fills in some of the gaps.

And to further your point how in sweet merciful crap to these people cope in a traffic jam or a queue at the bar?

Nope, it's not cake so I can resist.

I'll start by suggesting that MGS4 is removed from that list
as, at least to me, the entire MGS universe is a little odd and whatever comes out at the end will also be odd.

As for the rest, the expectations were low compared to Mass Effect. I'm not suggesting that they were poor, rather Mass Effect had set a certain bar all of it's own which it fell under for the climax.

What I am suggesting is that the Mass Effect endings did not represen...

I'm sorry, but if those are your complaints then you really don't get out much.

I'd like to give it a try but I'm struggling to connect with the new Dante as a character. Change isn't always bad but having viewed a number of trailers I can't find the character likeable at all. Even with some of the worst characters in games there is always something that you find likeable about them, but in this case I just see him as a smarmy a**hat.

And no I'm not jumping on the bandwagon as someone is bound to suggest, this is a genuine reaction.

If Activision tells you to make a Call of Duty, DO NOT say no.

I jest of course, but it's plausable.

Sadly, this situation is repeated more and more as companies are reliant on the stock market, and it's not just the customers that get the short end of the stick.

Nine months ago I left a car main dealership after Ten years of service. For the first eight years it was a decent company to work for, being owned and run by the same family for thirty plus years. The owners valued their staff and customers, funds were always available for specialist tools, maintenance and supp...

Better, but still a lot of holes.

Crytek opening their mouths without engaging their brains again I see.

I think yewles1 just shut them up.

October is just over three months away, at this point prior to launch there should be more excitement surrounding the Wii U, yet I don't know anybody who even cares. Nintendo really need to pull their thumbs out and start generating some interest.

Sir, you said exactly what I was thinking and more.

I don't know who he was trying to impress, but he certainly didn't have much of a clue, and definitely based his entire knowledge of The Last of US on a single gameplay video. Poor journalism.

It's a fine balancing act which is not easily achieved. Trying to please everybody sometimes results in pleasing nobody.
