What an idiotic article. How is the Tomb Raider deal good for gaming? It's definitely bad for SquareEnix, Crystal Dynamics and the fans of Tomb Raider, because the fanbase is being split, but how is this good for gaming? Is it good for gaming, if Tomb Raider's sequel fails and we have to wait another 10 years for a possible reboot? Seriously mweb?
Maybe I should write an article "Why I didn't like Digitalspy...". These sort of articles serve no purpose, they're unnecessary fluff.
I'd rather just have access to Netflix, Crackle or Hulu tbh. I don't think DSTV integration into xbox live is ever going to happen. This is Microsoft SA after all.
Pretty much, although I think they lack a couple of the apps (netflix, hulu etc.)
That was my issue as well, at least give me the option to choose the storage of MY choosing. Let me use my flashdrive or let me use my 2Tb external harddrive
Got to love the 180 on absolutely everything (from always online DRM, to storage options). At this rate, they'll catch up to the PS4.... in 2029. Nah who am I kidding, Sony is King!
Why do you feel so strongly about that? Who cares if she posted it on youtube before? Let the girl be, she has a right to voice her disapproval or approval.
People today... sigh!
So what's up with you and buttsalt? Freaky fetish convas...
I take it, this is not going to be Game of the Year...
Adam Sessler... you damn retard!
This is so incredibly idiotic, that I'm actually left shocked. One thing that I've really come to hate is how pathetically PC the world has become. At this rate, some bright spark will try to sanction standup-comedians because "they said something that hurt someone's feelings". Bloody hell... world.. grow a pair!
I strongly believe that changing review scores post-review is dishonest, and should be discouraged. The review itself must be left as it is, HOWEVER.... I think you may editorialise afterwards. If for some reason you disagree with one of your reviewers write an editorial.
But changing review scores to suit a zeitgeist, that's disgusting. Polygon needs to feel our anger.
Suspicious score is suspicious. I love how some game "journalists" think a broken game deserve a "near perfect" score. The only series of conclusions I can draw from this is (a) either the reviewer is on crack or... (b) Website is a shill front... or (c) reviewer is being paid by PR firm for EA or... (d) Review is written by PR firm ...
Such a pity, the direction EA took with this game. I actually would have bought it, had it not been for always online-DRM. However, I have had a lot of fun, reinstalling and playing SimCity 2000.
Nothing like a bit of nostalgia, while EA's servers prove the point; "Always online is a No"
While disconnects are infrequent where I live, for a game that demands always online, and even had launch day issues (reminiscent of Diablo 3), I'm amused that you'd even post that. :P
I'll skip it. While I would have wanted to own the latest SimCity, "always online" is a definite deal-breaker for me. Thank you EA. but no thanks.
I haven't bought a launch title in months. These days, I generally only buy games that are going on sale. The shift from $50 to $60 has definitely meant less game sales from me, and if it hits the $70 mark, then I probably won't buy new releases.
At least, the back catalogue of PS3 and Xbox games will be cheaper, so all in all, the onus will be on nextgen to entice me to part with my cash.
I'll just be more selective. It means fringe games or new IPs will have to find ways to entice me. Older IPs will have to work hard to keep my interest. It's a sad reality, but a higher price point means that I won't just walk into a store and walk out with 5 or 6 games.
Same here, I'm desperate for some killzone on vita!
It depends are previews merely glorified advertisements or are they essentially informative pre-reviews. A way for publications to tell their readers whether game A is worth it or not. If it's the former than I think publications have overstepped their mark, and we should reconsider the need of previews.
Is Mweb Gamezone the official spokesperson/PR firm for Microsoft SA? It certainly sounds like it with all the positive spin coming from there.
