Yes, I mean Skyrim's the same on the PC and the PS3 isn't it?
This was true 5 years ago. It's now 5 years hence.
Yes, IGN's effusive gushing praise is so much better than this review which touches on how 343 have been inspired by Infinity Ward, and how 343 compares with Bungie, and the motivations of the player.
I mean, who cares about that right? IGN lists all the weapons and baddies and vehicles right? PEW PEW!
This is the exact same criticism that Joystiq made. These criticisms are not isolated.
Reckon XCOM is in there with a shout.
Unless Halo or BLOPS2 blows everyone away (which I doubt), I think you'll see a split between the publications.
There is no way this could work on a phone.
You're right, it won't grab the CODtards because you're not killing Arabs on behalf of the people of America.
I've so far put over 12 hours into this game, which is 12 hours more than I'll be putting into Warfighter. Boo-Yah!
A better quote from the article
"Why bother with Hotline Miami? Because it exists. Because it’s fun. Because it deserves to be played."
Go watch the trailers. Listen to the soundtrack. This game is worth your money.
Picnic, he didn't get fired. He stepped down, and stated clearly why he did.
But instead, you went for a straw man ad hominem character assassination of someone he'd worked for. A guilty by association appeal to Katie Price is pretty much the worse argument anyone can make.
"He did an OK little piece on there. I don't see why my praise should go any further than that."
Only you didn't give him any praise whatsoever...
This guy is a professional writer, he got there because of his talent. He didn't rise through the blogging ranks and appeal to other writers through a "self regarding" attitude. He got picked up by the BBC, not some internet content farm. He's written for stuff in the IT Crowd, and for Frankie Boyle.
Florence is significantly better writer than most of the professional writers working in the games industry.
Picnic, you are completely igno...
The writer of the Eurogamer piece has stepped down from the publication, what's the point in writing opinion pieces if they're going to censor your opinion?
This is a shame, as the piece was spot on, and Eurogamer have lost a funny and talented writer. Check out Rob Florence's Consolevania stuff on youtube, anyone who describes Peter Molyneux as a "polo neck wearing effeminate nazi dracula" is good in my book.
All this has created a com...
This is worth it for the soundtrack alone. Intense, brutal, fun.
I don't think it's that connected to the Bioshocks, I think that's a marketing thing.
I've not bothered with Bioshock 2, but I will go for Infinite.

I know a guy at Lionhead who was laid off months ago. They've been letting people go for months, because they have nothing in the production pipeline after Fable: The Journey.
You've not heard about it in the news, because they kept on hiring people on short term rolling contracts (even though they were essentially permanent employees in terms of pay) in order to not have to pay any severance.
Microsoft would never do that if you were working for the...
Fans demand Darkstalkers for a console no-one owns.
I really hope the Daily Mail get onto Hotline Miami next. I want Jan Moir to write the review.
He could if he dropped the cutscenes.
I really doubt the buyers are "upgrading". They're going to be people buying it new.
I doubt this is true, an AMD APU chip means an x86 console, I really doubt this is going to happen.
Wouldn't be surprised if they went AMD for the graphics, but fairly sure they'll stick with IBM for their processor.
