Because a lot of his content is sensationalism at its core. I'm black and while I understand his argument about where he's from and all that, it's clear where his intentions are. He's all about the business, he even said it himself, and it's at the cost of honest content.
I've seen countless misleading titles, his over hyping of announcements etc. I can respect him as a person, personality and a business man but I&#...
" But let's get one thing straight: this list is not (just) about graphics that take us one step closer to Star Trek's holodeck; this list celebrates visual style and animation as well as photo-realistic visuals too."
That was an important thing to note when checking out this list. I had no problem with it once that was read because artistic arguments are always subjective, but to have a mis-leading title that would deliberately anger those that have a hard...
Just so you know, that trade mark really means nothing, the same exact Kinect reference exists on the LA Noire trailer among other recent ads. I guess we're to assume that LA Noire will utilize the Kinect also o_O. Very blog like reporting going on here.

Dude, as far as I know there are three mechanical damage options. No damage, Light Damage and Heavy Damage. If you want to count light as medium simply because it's the second of three then be my guest, but by definition, medium damage does not exist with this patch. Hopefully I got disagrees for offending those that couldn't read and not for stating the truth.
My god you people are ridiculously sensitive about this game. I actually read straight through that article and not a single negative thing was spoken aside from a detailed explanation of the damage (did you people actually read it or simply followed the next guy's comment). Sure the writer expressed a desire for a medium option but I don't understand how you guys interpreted this as an attack. They gave this game a 9.2 for gosh sakes o_O.
I'm no fan of this guy but that was one of the most passive aggressive trolling attempts by Omega4 I've seen thus far and you respond with that many lines? You are as insecure as ever. You people give him way too much power for someone that rarely tries all that hard.
"There isn't any doubt though who approves this tripe from vgchartz"
Whoever happens to be winning at the time o_O.
You people are giving this article way too much credit without even knowing it.
You're probably getting disagrees because you're generalizing an entire fanbase based upon sales charts. If we were to do the same for the PS3 it would heavily sway towards shooters and action games as well.
It's about as hassle free as getting up to switch a disc, yet that becomes a pretty big deal around here when it really shouldn't.
Both titles are great but it shouldn't even be that close. Enslaved is an entirely new title while Castlevania: Lords of Shadow is a reboot from a well established franchise (with Kojima's blessings). It looks like Enslaved performed as expected and Lords of Shadow under performed a tad.

Well everyone has an opinion. Some people find the value of their money well spent through high replay value and others find it through experiences, narratively speaking. Metal Gear Solid was one of the best experiences I've had with a storyline and it was a relatively short game. If this is a title that shows its strengths through storytelling then I might not feel like my money was wasted, unlike your common game with an even shorter single player and h...
If you read between the lines he's basically implying that the 360 can't even match up to half of the power of the PS3. But then he backs up his opinion wonderfully by saying that it's all based speculation since they've never actually worked on the 360's hardware. jeez...I'll let N4G have this one.
You guys seem pretty insecure right now. The original poster didn't say a single thing that was negative. The only thing you should have gotten out of his links was an element to exclusivity choices that devs don't particularly like admit.
I need only say this, when have you played Enslaved to formulate such a strong opinion? sounds like someone is talking out of something other then their mouth.
I completely agree, hence why objectivity is crucial to being a respected writer. To be honest, I impulsively replied to the overall comments within this thread that had to do with reviews needing a lack of opinion. I didn't actually bother to read the review since I've already made up my mind about the game based on my own observations (probably a buy for me).
I have a hard time understanding how someone can review anything without it being based on an opinion. A review with the absence of an actual opinion would just end up sounding incredibly robotic as if it read like a manual. "Yeah...the game had some graphics and textures...the game had some sound, your able to jump and slash things".
How many of you have actually written a professional review to understand the process? I can't really comment on the quality o...
I fully agree with this article under the preconception that MS will decide to abandon physical media in favor of digital content next gen which is a scenario I simply can't see happening. If MS remains stubborn they may simply seek to find an alternative format, something similair to VMD's etc - I think gamers have been vocal enough about abandoning physical media (you'd have to be one stupid company not to notice this) so I see that as a more likely possibility.
It's one of those delays that's necessary. With a game so heavily focused on user content and interactivity, it would be very easy to mess things up on the user's end. Based on the possibilities I've seen out of this game though, I'm sure it'll be worth the wait.
Don't know why. Seems like he was defending first person shooters.
