Why is the used game industry being targeted like this? It's absurd.

I don't remember Ford, Chrysler and GM getting their underwear in a bind over used car sales. Automakers lose a lot of revenue to the secondhand market. At least they know that in a free economy, when you buy something - provided you're not breaking any laws - it's yours to do what you want with it. If you want to leave that car in the driveway, so be it. If you want to smash the hell ou...

Pretty surprising considering the reviews. I'm thinking after this there's going to be a sharp decline in sales.

I wish that they didn't have that velvety feel, otherwise they'd be perfect, but they definitely help.

This is kind of funny. People want refunds for their donations to Child's Play because they 'didn't read' what their money would actually be going to.

I see what's going on here.

A lot of people are commenting that the patch didn't fix anything. Can't take this review seriously if it doesn't highlight the severe glitches and bugs.

A shitty port of a good game = a bad game.

I read somewhere that the cause behind this had about $50 thousand raised. Exactly how many of them asked for a refund?!

I know, that's terrible! I'm sure they'd say it was because they were lied to. That they were deceived into believing that their money would actually make a difference to the end of the game instead of doing some good between now and then.

Where do you buy your games? Is this kind of thing typical?

Playing the devil's advocate here, but gaming is an expensive hobby. There are more expensive hobbies to have, but having a top of the line console with a stack of games next to it is expensive.

That being said, you guys sound like a bunch of old people complaining how much bread and milk costs at the grocery stores, or how much fuel used to cost. You could feed your family at McDonald's for less than $10 - do you see a pattern here?

In games, the c...

I'm glad I'm not the only one who remembers this.

As much as I hate iOS, this statement is right on. Gaming is an expensive hobby - do you have the right to be upset because its expensive? Absolutely - but that's the way the industry is.

Remember that it's not just the production costs that go up, it's the cost of living all together. It's why bread used to cost 25c and now costs over a buck per loaf. It's why minimum wage goes up. These are universal market trends, not just something from one indus...

Let's be more logical and actually look at the list of games accepted for the trade in. None of the games you've listed off are on the lists.

Well then.

If it was any old game accepted, then it'd be a good deal, but these games are all relatively new. Games that you can sell for more cash if you listed them on Craigslist or Kijiji.

Hate to break it to you guys, but this isn't exactly a good deal when you look at the numbers. Considering that most of the games are relatively new on that list, unless you manage to have old games squeak by on the list.

Let's say you've got these games new, you paid $59.99 for them. With HST being 13% (in Ontario, anyway) you paid $67.78. So $67.78 for five games is 338.90. An additional $50 makes that $388.90 for the console alone!

Short-sig...

I like the image. "My creepy neighbour."

It's not just one outlet that's giving this game a shitty score. It seems like almost everywhere I look, it's the same thing, for the same reasons.

I also think it's acceptable to review a game having not completed it. If you get a good feel for the game, know where the plot is going and all of the game play mechanics that the game has to offer then by all means a review before the game is finished should be fine for a single-player experience. However if t...

I like how you think everyone on the Internet lives in the US. By the way, freedom of expression isn't a US-based right. And I rightfully disagree with your opinion.

So IMO - why make a series, made popular by exploration, extremely detailed storytelling and emphasis on fight-or-flight mechanics and disturbing elements something...that is obviously none of those things? If by FPS you actually mean "first-person perspective" then I might be able to see what yo...

I honestly cannot tell if you're trolling or not. I hope you are.

...I think I see what you did there.

But that's what you're saying - that the entire game series meant nothing to you because of ME3's ending.

What do you hope to gain from this? That they'll have a do-over? Release DLC that everyone will bitch about because 'it should have been in the game' or what?
