I don't understand. So Microsoft will NOT be making a killing on Halo: Reach when it releases?
Looks like their cash cow is still very much secure, and as people argued with IW devs leaving Activision (that as long as Activision still had the CoD games, it could still sell millions): As long as the Halo name is there, the majority of consumers will still buy the game.
@chickenlegs9:
Careful. You don't wanna hurt Torrence's feelings, lest he gets on a podcast to assault you with his l33t interweb threats. :P
Seriously tor, is any one having an opinion that deviates from yours such a crime to humanity?
They certainly are if they think any one can sit through a 3 hour podcast. -__-
@Alpha:
"All that, regardless of it came from the news or from 360 fanboys worried me. And it should have worried you PS3 fans too, and I'm sure it did."
As such, this guy says he has no way of proving he didn't doubt the PS3 all these years. I'm surprised no one's calling him out on this, because given the events of the past few years, and what Sony's been through, it is indeed a very tall claim to say he didn't doubt it even ONCE.
Crimminy, stop with the lists already. -___-
One thing I'm curious about: If the first post by Kotaku wasn't that serious - as we all state, that the arguement was weak - then why are Konami and Famitsu acting so harshly?
Nevertheless, I feel bad about Kotaku Japan. They didn't have anything to do with Kotaku's original piece, hell they're owned by separate companies, and they've had to bear the brunt of the backlash. All because they translated this author's work.
I find it ironic how N4G is his main audience and he goes out of his way to threaten the people on it. Without N4G, he'd be nowhere right now. Not that he's not there already. :P
Um, he has a job. He works as the head of the mailroom in Def Jam Records the last time I checked, but he may have been promoted in the mean time. Who knows (or cares)?
Edit 2@Panda and Ikon: I'm actually working a lot these days on various video editing techniques and effects. Maybe I could make something like all the major video game characters beating on HHG in their own ways. Can I get a "hell yeah"? :)
@Cylon: True. Dead Space sold more than a million but if Bayonetta wasn't a success with the same number and was on 2 platforms, then it must have been worse for DS that was on 3. Don't think their second title, Dante's Inferno, did so great either.
All Tim Schafer games have a reputation of being under dogs at the sales counter. Mirror's Edge didn't sell well either. Bad Company 2 has been seeing some good sales recently, and I hope it serves as good enough encouragement for DIC...
That pic has got to be the most non-sensical pic in an HHG story yet. It's like an ode to the phrase, "What's happening here? Who the frak cares?!"
But seriously, I can totally see myself getting drunk and staring at the pic for hours in inebriated awe.
A simple report wouldn't be enough to explain how lame and useless this article is. >__<
"Okay. So what if this guy is tight with HHG? HHG is still on the list. Why? Because lots of people hate him."
It doesn't matter if he's tight with HHG, until it starts affecting his ability to be neutral.
"I know people hate on HHG mostly because of his lies, but other than that, what bad is there to say about him? He works hard, he's cool with everybody, and doesn't spend time hating on anybody unless provoked."
I haven't seen him w...
Robin Williams at #4? Seriously? Also, love how he has no clue about Michael Jackson's role in Sonic 3's music.
But then, what else can you expect from a writer who's yet to have his braces removed?
"The list is really just about people that gamers tend to hate. HHG is on the list because of that but that doesn't mean the writer has to hate him."
True, but it just creates a very odd contrast when the writer DOES hate on all the others. HHG was stated as,
"Either you like him or you hate him….but you can’t ignore the HipHopGamer...His website blew up because of slightly misleading article titles and his personality kept them coming back for more. H...
Geoff Keighley and GT TV?
Edit: No, that wouldn't be right since Keighley gets real, accurate info long before HHG concocts his flamebait.
Also, bloggers like Jim Sterling, despite the amount of hate and infamy he's gathered, and Stephen Totilo are better known and reach out to larger audiences than HHG could ever hope to.
I like how he very carefully words his comments about HipHopGamer. While he expresses his dislike for the others, you don't see anything of the same for HHG.
Is he afraid HHG and TorDavis will do a drive-by on him or something?

Firefight is the only real source of fun I found with Halo 3: ODST. The single player was okay, but the world hub novelty wore off and the length was just a real downer. I hope they include Firefight with 4 player split-screen this time around, since the original only included 2 player split-screen (on the same TV).
Awesome. Maybe several of the currently running Halo machinima like Deus Ex Machina will be translated into Reach's graphics (like how Red vs. Blue went from Halo 1 to Halo 2 graphics with the jump in seasons).
Hope they include Forge and Theater modes as well. Can't wait to see what kind of Halo machinima fans will come up with those tools.
It's over 9000!
But honestly, I thought that with the submissions option being closed, we'd miss out on HHG this week. Unfortunately, I was wrong. -__-
