What's lazy about adding 5 more ranks? I personally know a couple of people that have already hit 10 and are looking for more to do.
What if the Vita game was a stand-alone title but had the exact same multiplayer XP progression system as its console counterpart? Then you could play an entirely different game, on the go, while progressing not just your Vita rank, but your console rank as well.
Yeah, what he said. I stopped reading at the end of the first paragraph when the author says "Unfortunately, players who choose the “Action” option are playing the game wrong."
There's no "wrong" way to play a game if you're playing in the manor that entertains you the most.
And for the gamers that want the traditional Mass Effect experience, they can get that too. It's a win for everyone.
I don't know about 99% but a good majority of multi-plat games look or run slightly better on the Xbox. It used to be a lot worse than it is now. Now, more games than not are nearly identical.
You're 100% right about the PS3 exclusives, though. Great stuff.
This. I know the story was better in Mass Effect 1, but it handled like hot garbage. Mass Effect 2 was more like an RPG-lite, but the improved combat mechanics set it apart from the original, IMO.
Hit whoring? Did you even read the article?
The PS3 issues they're referring to are the problems a specific model of PS3 are having regarding overheating while playing TM.
Sucks to hear but it's not really surprising. Can't remember the last multiplayer game that didn't have some kind of issues on day 1.
At least there's single player to keep me occupied.
I think GI nailed it when they said something along the lines of "if it fails, it’s a sign of the times, not a knock on the Vita’s quality."
I'm still not quite sold but if I ever caught it on sale, it would be hard to turn it down.
I don't even own a PC, but I'm approving this because you used the Mirror's Edge theme. :-)
I'm sure I'm the first of many that will come and decry the list for not having his/her favorite game on there but, I have to say, Silent Hill over Resident Evil 2? Really?
Nothing against Silent Hill, but... Resident Evil 2.
There's so much irony in the first paragraph of the above comment. Especially after an article about fanboys.
@Jimbob
Fanboy alert!
XBL didn't actually "go down" for 3-4 weeks like some are claiming. I remember that rough patch vividly because I had just got my 360.
Launching private chat, sending messages, and inviting/joining other players was very rough and mostly unusable, but only a couple of times during that almost month-long period just after X-mas did XBL actually refuse to sign me in and let my play online by myself.

Microsoft and Activision no longer have any exclusive agreements. That ended with Black Ops.
@Majin
It's not nearly as bad as some people are making it out to be. It affects everyone but for those 'CoD-esque players' that rely more on twitch reflexes than sound positioning, it hurts them a little more.
Input lag means it takes a few extra milliseconds for the command you give via the controller to move your character on the screen.
@D3mon
I'd love it if you could point to where in my previous comment that I'm defending these officers. I didn't, and neither did Dlacy13g. We didn't because WE DON'T KNOW THE FACTS.
Neither do you. But that doesn't seem to matter. You take one look at the aftermath video and it immediately clouds every shred of logical thought in your head.
Bottom line: We don't know what happened. Neither do you. So instead of j...
You're probably wasting your breath, dude. Just like I did earlier in the comments. I literally fear for the future of the world when reading some of these comments. So many people that don't take even a moment to look for some perspective or try and think of the fact that they didn't even see the incident take place. Instead, they rush in, see the aftermath and immediately jump on the "fuck da po-lice" bandwagon.
The thought pool for most of the crowd i...
Definitely. We have no idea what really happened here. All we have is a video of the aftermath, yet people are more than willing to rush in, stand up on top their pedestal and blame the police for an incident NO ONE in here saw happen.
Does it look suspicious? Definitely. Do any of us in here have enough knowledge on the situation to talk about what should happen to these officers? No.
Also, when hearing all these stories of brutality and police mischief, ple...

I'm not sure what to tell you. I don't get killed by it all that often (although I don't always watch my kills cams) and my K/D was well below 1.0 when I used it due to how ineffective it was at close range. CoD maps are so small that keeping people close to you is relatively easy, depending on the map.
And if IW (who can see all universal weapon stats) is saying that nothing is so out of sync that it requires a hotfix, I've got nothing...
It spits those three bullets out pretty fast but it's still just a burst fire. If it was as weak as the other assault rifles AND just a burst, no one would use it.
Besides, the burst fire makes it pretty ineffective at close range. It's actually a fairly one-dimensional weapon.
If you're up against a bunch of guys using the T95, then you need to adjust your strategy. Work on your gap and positioning. Keep your enemies close and spray 'em with ...
I get that they don't want the CE sitting on shelves for months after the game's launch, but there are a TON of gamers trying to find the CE for a day 1 purchase and everywhere is sold out. Bioware/EA are literally screwing themselves out of revenue by not making more of these versions available.
What's funny is this same publisher will turn around and piss and moan about losing revenue to used game sales, yet they have a chance to make a boatload more money here ...
