That is extremely innacurate, I would wager my house that people growing up with only the games at the time have a completely different appreciation than growing up with the game like Halo while also having for lack of better terms superior games like Halo 5, Titanfall, Overwatch, CoD the list goes on and on. When Halo was released your options were basically Halo, I don't think I ever touched another shooter on the Xbox that even came close to comparing to Halo...
Okay, but if it was a 9 score it would have been played by even more, thats what I am saying. In what scenerio do they believe that they could make a game that is loved by millions but only rates a 6 compared to a game that is loved by few but ranks a 9. It is one of those statements that sound good but doesnt pan out. For instance the reverse scenario happens where a game that the devs believe is a masterpiece gets a six and is loved by a few. I cant think of one game that is a 9 but sold li...
Whatever, if you had an interest in this game you would buy it anyways. For instance how is Fortnite launching out of Steam? Oh thats right Millions of people will download another launcher if the game they want is on it. How about Overwatch or Hearthstone? Granted Like you I dont care about those games so I dont have to worry about the Epic or Blizzard Launcher. But people who want to play them will. Like Destiny 2 or League of Legends.
Plenty of people complain but plenty...
I was all ready to come to the defense of IGN (not because I like them but because I believe plagiarism has a pretty high bar) Then I watched the video and I dont know how you can defend it. They clearly took one persons ideas and passed them off as their own. He clearly copied words and Idea from the other source and gave no credit. This is clearly plagiarism.
"All of the following are considered plagiarism:

"Sharing notes is academic dishonesty?"
Context matters a ton in this respect. For instance if I took notes about the questions on an exam that I just had and shared them with the class that hadn't happened yet, I did not give them the questions or the answers but I was still giving them an unfair advantage. (This happened a lot in one of the universities I attended). Clear eexample
Also it depends on what you are talking about. For instance...
how is breaking an embargo of a review a greater concern than arguably one of the largest video game sites reviewers are lazy and stealing the work of a smaller youtube channel?
Not saying they arent both issues but embargos get broken all the time (on purpose and by accident) and that can be handled but that is nothing in scope to a large company having to copy reviews rather than put in the time to make an honest review.
A 9 from whom?
What is the difference between a game that reviews at a 9 from 1000 fans and a game that reviews at a 6 from 10000 fans. I bet in those 10000 there are 1000 9's.
That whole statement just makes no sense to me unless you believe that the majority won't play a game rated at 9 over a game rated at 6. Because a game rated at 9 in reviews is going to sell better than a game rated at 6. I can't think of one scenerio where a game rated...
Let me introduce you to the the "Vault" from Borderlands.
...Just kidding that was the biggest let down of a vault in gaming history.
That being said Crawmerax (sp) kills where still my favorite and the timed loot run in General Knoxx expansion is way up their on loot based excitement.

You were my first true MMO, everyone remembers their first!
What about some other classics like Battle Tanx, NFL Blitz, Mario Party, Rogue Squadron, Donkey Kong, 1080, Mario Golf, Mario Tennis, Paper Mario, and a ton more that are not going to happen because of even harder licensing issues.
They are about influencing culture with their views that are usually racist and sexist so what better place to start pushing an idea then to younger people.
Those are some of the saddest excuses for "mere" I have seen in a long time. You stopped short of saying the sixteenth reason is... characters have different names.
The game is not a one for one copy like the word "clone" is defined yes but then again in the context of video games when we colectively as gamers say clone, we usually mean in spirit not in sprite (I crack myself up sometimes). This game looks, sounds, and feels like it is a revised vision ...
Last months bundle was one of the worst I have seen since I signed up for this. Rise of the Tomb Raider is only for those people who haven't been a subscriber since it was part of a bundle two or three months ago.
I'm really hoping this months bundle gets better. Sniper Elite 4 is okay but not really the pillar to rest on.
"For taking the time to give us what we all wanted."
No they didn't give us ALL what we wanted.
"...you guys have really given us the game you promised two years ago."
No they didn't, not even close and they can't with the engine that they built. You just don't remember all the promises made. Multiplayer wasn't even really the point and them adding "4 player" multiplayer isn't what t...
Okay give me a break. At least the game launchers (can't speak for GOG) are publishers and distributers of games. You talk about UPlay being a launcher no one asked for... How about Amazon releasing the Twitch game launcher? Now that is a launcher no one asked for or needed.
There are also plenty of solutions around using the launcher. For one almost all the games have executables that launch them without having to open the launcher. So the only time you really "ha...
It released on PC ergo not an exclusive, as any Sony fan would tell you.
I couldn't find the check in table for haters but I wanted to make clear. I am present and NMS is still one of my most hated games of all time.
PS4 part of the decline??? Based on what Information do you have that PlayStation has been doing worse year over year for the past 10 years. I'm no Sony fan but seriously? You think the console market has gotten worse based off of Sonys offerings over the last 10 years?
Maybe Sony was just waiting for Nintendo to pull their weight again.
So we are blaming the last decade of decline on cell phones rather than a poor Wii late cycle games line up and WiiU disaster.
The smartphone market reached all new highs even this year but we aren't going to blame the decrease in the lack of Nintendo games and solid console for the last decade.
Credit where credit is due but it was a self inflicted wound. Obviously both markets can increase at the same time as shown by the numbers so it wasn't &q...
One I do not want to defend Riot Games because if true these accounts are inappropriate and should be brought to light. On the other hand things like this don't give you any more credibility.
"Throughout her three years at Riot Games, the company behind League of Legends, Lacy made it her mission to hire a woman into a leadership role."
So fight sexism with... You guessed it, sexism.
Riot clearly doesn't respect women ...
