Yet you had to come here to say that. Thanks a lot for proving you needed validation for a troll opinion that had no place here.
I'll say this again: if you give THAT low of a score when others haven't on ANY game (I don't care WHAT game it is), give a damn good reason that shows us you've played the game and aren't doing a hit piece. You can be subjective in your opinion on the objective, but don't lie about the objective to arrive to your subjective. Just asking for trouble if you give that low of a score for a game that has mixed reviews but hasn't gotten below a 7 or so from reliable gam...
@diepdiep:
My point being that just because a company makes a system that doesn't do well doesn't mean that they stop making good games. Did Sega's games suddenly suck because their systems stopped doing well? Did Sony's first party titles lack quality because they were on a system that had trouble getting a good install base for the first few years of its life?
Yeah, the Wii U might just be one system and all (and yeah, I know you are talkin...
Or maybe people WOULD play the games if they didn't have to buy a system that might not be worth it in the long run to buy because there's nothing else ON it, or the system is utter trash to handle. I can play GTA5 on the 360 and have to deal with the issue about installing from one disc over another (and in some cases, worry that it won't run the game at all), or I can play it on the PS3 (I'll sound like a fanboy here, I know I will) and bypass most if not all of the problems...
Umm...what games right now? The Wii U hasn't had that many worthwhile ones.
No one is complaining about the games (unless you count some of the people on Metroid message boards bitching about Other M for the millionth time). It's more about Nintendo's thinking about the systems they are putting the games on right now. Those are two different animals. Just because Sega had a horrendous track record with the systems they made post-Genesis doesn't mean they stopp...
Okay, since people seem to be more than willing to say this has nothing to do with gaming (assuming they are not duplicate accounts), let me inform you that RPS is a PC GAMING SITE that is talking about a GAMING EXPO that they are not going to cover for whatever reason. The people involved are within the gaming industry. It's about the industry.
If we seriously cannot connect the dots here about a respected PC gaming site not covering an expo that has a lot to do with PC...
Already had someone do that. Her name's Anita Sarkeesian!
Does she deserve death threats? Nope!
Do people have the right to question the opinion, though? Yep!
Just because someone doesn't have the opinion you want someone you have, you shouldn't ask for someone to die or anything like that. But being sympathetic about someone getting such threats doesn't necessarily make the opinion that got such comments agreeable!
Red Dead was underwhelming?
Oh good lord! They made bad decisions they had to back pedal from. This is another bad decision they'll probably regret and/or back pedal from.
Do I seriously have to explain everything?
It's Microsoft! It's not like they made the best decisions lately (how many things have they back pedaled on with the XB1?).
It's not a matter of piracy behind what this (joke?) petition is about.
He doesn't mean "steal" as in "torrent games you didn't pay for". He's talking from an "entitled" console fanboy that thinks that a port to PC period is "stealing" from the consoles, where he thinks the game should stay exclusive. There's a HUGE difference.
I think it wouldn't have been so much of a problem if they hadn't been douchebags about responding to the criticism.
More to the point, if they hadn't BROUGHT IT THE FUCK UP AGAIN DURING PAX PRIME THIS YEAR! Showing that they didn't learn.
When you have a controversy like this, and when you have a situation in which a small group of people make it a point to bitch, you say "it was misunderstood, this is what we meant", explain the jo...
@dmeador:
Who's putting words in whose mouth again? I didn't see me saying that anyone CAN'T dress how they want if they didn't possess strong will and determination. I didn't even imply that! You're trying to find a way to incriminate something I said...why, exactly? Do you think women SHOULDN'T be allowed to dress however they want without the morality police knocking on their proverbial door? Hey, you implied that I said something! How does it f...
So, let me see if I got this straight. Females can't CHOOSE to use the freedoms they are given to want to bare their midriff, or be sexy or whatnot? Please tell me we're not shoving morality down throats here. We should tell females, then, that it's not okay to let their hair down and just be themselves if being themselves means showing off? If a female is strong willed and smart, then she can dress however the hell she WANTS to be dressed, and any author has the right to show tha...
Umm...some women LIKE to dress sexy. Some women feel liberated by being able to show skin. Why is that a bad thing? If you don't like that women have that kind of freedom, move to a country where women would KILL to have that kind of freedom...even for one day!
You do realize that it's not JUST the comic that was the issue here, right? It was their response to the criticism about it that got all sorts of fucked up. THAT'S where the issue is lying here. And then they bring it back up NOW!
You gotta be shitting me! They are going to make this sort of controversy AGAIN?
2010 brought us the Dickwolves, 2012 had them making an utter MESS out of how they treated Jessica Nigiri, and now THIS year, they bring the Dickwolves back. And then they brag about MAKING the controversies.
And...this will get either ignored or excused because we either like it, don't mind it, or just don't care enough to say enough is enough. Want bad treatment again...
The best way to do that is to do it yourself, to be honest. I don't mean that to sound racist or anything like that, but if you think there is a void that you think needs to be filled, and you think you have what it takes, then start making videos. Get a good gaming rig, good video editing software (Vegas or Premiere preferred), a good mic, and get to recording yourself making games and commentary. The main thing is that you'll find out that it takes a good bit of time to get the take...
It might be an in-game achievement because it does say "20 creation points" (it mentions something about that in the video they posted in the article).
That being said, the sound is one I'm familiar with since I have Windows 8 (which makes me believe that there might be some things that devs can do with these achievement notifications, hence the 20 creation points note). It's the same sound that Windows 8 makes when a notice comes up on screen about an app b...
