"Think of how many AAA games Microsoft COULD have financed instead of Kinect."

This would be true if one knew that $500 million came directly out of their game dev./R & D, which probably isn't the case. Like every other billion dollar company, MS' partitions a bunch of different 'budget balances' they can use for a certain aspect of their company. Since they probably have an entire budget dedicated to just advertising their products, it would...

"So ya, i have played the full game and it still doesnt interest me one bit."

If you say so, but these are details you shouldn't leave out of your initial comment and why my first reply still stands.

I see. I'll have to pick them both up eventually. Thank you for taking the time to explain :).

You don't seem to understand. The reason I put the brackets there was to demonstrate that you don't have full knowledge of the product that released to the public on 12/20. Playing a beta doesn't give you permission to smear Bioware and the game itself when you haven't played the 'complete' game.

Interesting to see that. I'm tempted into diving into the series (eventually when I have time) and wasn't sure if I should just get into TW2. Was it the combat system, better storyline, or something else iyo that made 1 better?

"far from a 10..this [finished staged] game is at most a 7."

"Played beta, cancelled pre order."

I put the [] brackets there to let you know why it's going to be tough for anyone to take your comment seriously.

@SilentNegotiator

I certainly applaud the idea of us holding reviews more often to the fire like that, but I don't see the results having much of an effect. There's already two other posters on here who "say" they haven't encountered any "huge bugs" (I imagine that's quest bugs, etc.). The problem is in the form of someone questioning where the interrogation ends.

We already have multiple reports, from both average us...

"There are plenty of other ostriches sticking their heads in the sand, assuming the PS3 version was the only version riddled with bugs."

Reviewers aren't denying that bugs don't exist between all three versions, some are just denying that they themselves have experienced any-or many-of them. Reviewers aren't meant to scour youtube videos to talk about the game's profusion of bugs. They're only meant to talk about their own experiences with th...

No one should bother with metacritic user scores. Dozens of exclusives on consoles would be in the red/yellow before they even released. In the case of certain PC gamers on metacritic, the title isn't 'Guild Wars 2' so it'll get flak regardless of what it brings to the table.

Don't brag about recent drops from a raid/instance.

Whether they're a rich dev or not shouldn't sway a person's choice to pirate the game. It's still considered stealing, regardless of the CEO's average paycheck.

There's actually a Star Wars book (I'll edit with name and date) that has zombies in that as well, which I found to be very surprising.

Edit: Star Wars: Death Troopers (pub'd Oct. 2009) http://www.amazon.com/Star-...

Definately, I did my best to weave between praising the entire story and just the characters and sub plots. Looking at it objectively, the writers certainly hold to the classic archtypes fairly well and the setting; however, I can't ignore plot devices that have been endlessly used in RPGs for quite some time.

Still a solid story with the best plot twists in games to date (imo).

"Claim != fixing ;)"

I'm guessing you meant to put =/=, right?

If so, yes, I'm clearly aware of the difference. The question was essentially there to allow you to edit if necessary. Now I ask a more direct one: How can you prove such an audacious statement? If you insinuate such action like "Bioware's sitting on their thumbs, rather than fixing visual problems", despite them claiming otherwise, it's up to you to ba...

How can you suggest Bioware is not focusing on fixing visual bugs while also admitting they've said they're looking into the problem?

From the blog: " I could very well be wrong, but I do believe N4G is by far home to more PS3 fanboys than 360 fanboys. And oftentimes when someone says how terrible the PS3 fanboys are, a PS3 fanboy will say, 'You should have been here in 2007. The 360 fanboys were worse and now it's payback time.'"

Kav doesn't fail to recognize there are major 360 fanboys on here as well.

"You can state your opinion and even include some facts of why XBL is better than PSN but that's not gonna change what I think. For me the fact that you can play on PSN for free is a really huge and very important feature so no matter how much you try to convince me that cross-game chat this or universal party that is better that's not gonna change anything even if everything you just stated is a fact." - Megaman_nerd

Joe Danger didn't release on XBLA, Joe Danger: Special Edition did.

Did you even read his second paragraph? It's completely unrelated to what kaveti's arguing about.

Certainly an exceptional read but I'm worried about specifically naming certain posters in blogs on this site. Normally, blogs seem to be exclusive to the poster's submission catalog (or it's highlighted if you follow that poster) on other gaming sites whereas they're on the front page on this site-until new ones come in.

Question: Are there written rules I may have missed regarding this?
