Q. Is EA the devil?
A. No, not even the devil is that evil.
You think Dark Souls is a ps2 game and a rip off of Fable?!
You obviously never played Dark Souls.

First you say:
"Its basically a revamp of a PS1 series called King's Field."
Then you say:
"If anything it speaks well of Fromsoft that Demon's Souls is so radically different."
"Your point?"
My point is to me they look like very different games.
"Its basically a revamp of a PS1 series called King's Field."
Seriously?!

I think New Vegas was good AFTER they patched it.
Before it was patched it was so buggy it was unplayable.
Batman Arkham City shipped over 4 million copies in the first week but only sold 2 million.
They always ship more units than are sold. If they didn't they wouldn't have any games on the shelves at stores.

Shipped is not equal to sold sold.
There are cases where retailers ship unsold games back to the publisher.
Bethesda filed both lawsuits. Bethesda lost both lawsuits.
Why do you think Bethesda is the victim here when they are the ones doing all the suing?
I'm hoping Dark Souls gets game of the year but I doubt it will happen.
This is why people pay for PSN access. PSN subscriptions fund server farms so this type of thing doesn't happen.
... wait a minute.
The keep killing you
...because you're a pussy! ;-)
The thought of playing Pokemon gives me nightmares.
VGChartz looks at sold instead of shipped and this is what they are reporting for the first week for Batman in north america:
Batman: Arkham City (xbox) 589,761
Batman: Arkham City (ps3) 536,459
That's a little over 1.1 million in sales. If they shipped 4.6 million copies then 3.5 million copies are not accounted for. Some of those will be foreign sales but considering that north america is largest market it's very unlikely those can account f...
Sold = game is being played
Shipped = game may end up in a landfill
As a gamer I don't consider adding to landfills to be a measure of a successful game even if the company who made the game was paid for their contribution.
Story about Atari and a game called E.T. that dominated the "landfill" market:

Is E.T. ...
"Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and DC Entertainment today announced that Batman: Arkham City™, the critically acclaimed videogame developed by Rocksteady Studios, has shipped more than 4.6 million units worldwide ..."
A shipped copy isn't necessarily a sold copy. A shipped copy could be in a store on a shelf.
"I read the article and I've been following the situation. The question is why publish a review when you don't have console AND PC versions?"
That is not an important question.
The important questions are "Why is EA preventing access to the console versions of the game for review?" and "Why is EA restricting access to PC version to specific reviewers?"
Anyways, to answer your question they only published ...
There is no such thing as Elvenstone, it's called Mithril!
There are some lines that should never be crossed!!!
If they were making sure reviewers were playing the same game that consumers will then they wouldn't have given the game to any reviewers.
What they did was give the game only to reviewers that they thought would give positive reviews thus manipulating the early metacritic score.
Did you even read the article?!
If you think it's a "shitty console port" why even bother pirating it?!
Obviously you think it's worth playing or you wouldn't have pirated it.
You're just a criminal making excuses to justify your crime.
