Fair enough, you never stipulated anything about hype in any sense. Yet the ire of not completing a story on the same platform is still a complaint centered outside of the game's quality itself.
"I can't be bothered to explain why you were wrong in nearly everything you said..."
Because it only takes a modicum of good sense to know you can't do that to begin with. Or perhaps it's just easier to explain after the person you're a...
Eh...I don't know. I'm not exactly an expert of speculation for these possibilities but I don't see it coming to that. When considering other ways for publishers to make $$$ (season passes, micro-transactions, etc.), I don't see why they'd go so far as to make online passes an additional thing to purchase. I'd imagine it would also harm many gamers' impetus to buy new altogether if it came to that.
The core problem with online passes is the publisher's mindset to artificially place a greater burden on a potential "new" customer. Since another $10 up front for the whole game is required after the initial used physical purchase is made at say...Gamestop, the value of used games plummets resulting in used game SELLERS with less gamestop credit to potentially buy more new games.
"Before you skip everything in this video and run straight to the comments, understand the question: Many (not "most"; not "all") shooter video games feature licensed, real-world firearms."
It's like one sentence above-average in length is too much to handle for most. :/
Happy Birthday!
Funny I should click on this "blog" today. :P
Good point. It'll be interesting to see how the finished product looks.
The title screams irony given the length of this review.

"I think you are plainly mistaken if you believe my criticism of the game was based solely on the knowledge that the developer rushed the game."
I know you're mistaken if you believe I even suggested that were the case. I also don't ever hint at the notion you don't provide ANY of your personal opinion on the game itself. My address in regards to points made in your first comment should clearly indicate a greater inclusion of what happened around the g...
"Why didn’t a manufacturer of assault rifles and high-capacity magazines end up in The Consumerist’s yearly poll?"
1. I recall the Consumerist mentioning the number of consumer complaints against X company providing the 32 choices in the bracket. If those assault rifles/high-cap magazines work, what does the consumer have to complain about?
2. It's short-sighted to solely blame a gun company for, you know, making guns (extending also to milit...
"You don't think anyone would have questioned why the campaign ended so abruptly akin to a car crash?"
Eh...I never even teased the notion that gamers wouldn't question the nature of the abrupt ending. And who's to say I didn't wonder why also?

Although I recall that statement by Bungie, it seems unfair to use behind-the-scenes info you've heard from the creators as leverage about the game's quality, when you should be focused on the game itself.
"This was at the huge detriment of a short rushed campaign that was a let down."
I honestly don't see how anyone would've determined that without Bungie talking about H2's development. Short? ...
"Uncharted 2, Final Fantasy 6-9, Metal Gear Solid Snake Eater, Super Mario 64, Half Life 2....am I saying they are flawless, no but they're a better choice of picking them as the greatest game of all time when the faults of these games are very low."
I contend that some of those listed have problems (in story, gameplay, or both) that would make H2's ending seem innocuous in comparison, but...okay let's say I 100% agreed with you on the games you've l...
Since when did greatest of all time mean "flawless?" You mention any title and there's certainly someone there to pay criticism over certain aspects of the game, regardless of how how minute they are.
"Bioshock, Batman AA...bad endings...eh ?"
Seems to have been the consensus for a while now.
Article covering this already.

And with a similar set of comments proposing MS paid them off. Interesting.
What?
Shenmue II, Batman:AA, Bioshock, etc. can't be considered among the greatest because of the bland final moments? That's preposterous.
I lol'd @ above.
"A rage engine game could hypothetically sport those effects you listed with a downgrade in graphic fidelity , while still looking way better than cod ."
That would be more due to art style than anything else. And no, to think the extravagant Michael Bay moments, down to the very minutiae, can produce something WAY better than CoD is fantasy for this gen consoles.
What could make you so convinced CoD's consistent 60fps through elaborate set p...
"Who the hell decided that CoD needed to looks like the same sh*t because of the need of 60fps ?"
Well...probably the developers thought it appropriate since it fits perfectly for its twitch style of FPS gameplay. And given all the over-the-top stuff on screen, I don't see how this-gen consoles could maintain great textures and that framerate.
Although it was great to see RAGE tackle that problem, let's not pretend that framerate would be c...
There's one other that can lay a beat-down on Double Dragon.
