What's hurting the industry is 1.) a weak economy burdened by inflation, unemployment, and a shrinking standard of living 2.) a maturing, somewhat saturated, and fairly commoditized electronics market that depends on planned obsolescence for revenue, 3.) publisher/developer overspending, wildcatting, and 4.) an increasingly irrelevant regional game press trying to tell publishers and developers what sort of content is acceptable when they face no actual consequences to their stupid fad an...

No, motion control gaming killed motion control gaming.
I bought an Xbox One at Gamestop with my store credit and the guy there asked me if I wanted the one with Forza V or Titanfall. Well I'm not a Forza fan but I got that one because I have Titanfall on the PC. It was $499 but it was tax free because Gamestop does not consider store credit to be real money (it's on it's own spooky fake debit card).
If someone is trying to install a trojan/backdoor/magic super virus on your phone then um...pull the battery? AMIRITE?
But...vidja games.
"Game are important like it or not."
Yes Jim, but gratuitous public and often seemingly forced bitching about the offensiveness or even crypto-offensiveness of games across some constantly changing spectrum of what various groups consider acceptable for the moment, is NOT important. Really. Like it or not. It's trivial and shallow.
It's just subjective wank trying unsuccessfully to look and sound deep.
Irony is meeting the man of your dreams and then meeting his BEE-YOO-TI-ful wife. Alanis said so.
Most of the gaming press now seems like aging mediocre "peaked in private high-school" guys who wanted to write for Rolling Stone back in the day(say as it was up to the late 1980's) and ended up squandering their five year humanities degrees on doing 2nd hand PR for game companies and gratuitously self indulgent social commentary/muckraking at dying video game magazines and websites usually in or around San Francisco. You really don't see much variety of opinions, ages, rac...
Yep. The first year of a console is always weak on game selection so you pad it out anyway you can. Remasters and up-rezed cross gen ports are a good way to do that.
"lol, "next gen graphics" that pc has been able to produce for about 3-4 years now. And all at 1080p!"
Yeah letter boxed 1080P that only renders 75% of the pixels at 30 FPS with some frame drops. So graphically amazing. Cough.
" i was actually god smacked at how this game looked and ran. "
It's 'gob smacked'. Gob is UK slang for your mouth area.
The one thing I did not care much about in Far Cry 3 was the story-line. Vas and his loony sadism was wasted on me. I like stalking and killing animals and bad guys and rescuing people and building stuff and taking towers. The rest was a lot of forgettable wanky "bad screenplay" bunk. I enjoyed Blood dragon more than the original because at least it knew it was stupid and funny rather than naively thinking it was successfully passing itself off as a deep and clever satire of gamer ...
"Because that's the cool kind of gay, right chief?"
Whoa! Sick burn bra. Fist bump!
" It's due to the vast majority of the population having low intelligence and being closed minded."
Normal distributions don't work that way. Learn some basic math before you mouth off about 'low intelligence' lest you appear to prove your own point in a manner you had not anticipated.
Not a SH*tstorm I care about though. Not a real guy. Not a real anything. Might as well get upset about comic books and note-book doodles. The "outrage" is starting to sound kind of forced and insincere anyway.
Sony will not be wearing pants at E3 this year and will spend most of the expo totally $#!%faced on tequila, rum, and schnapps. INSIDER yo.
No see that would be news and useful info.
People just want to hear "OMG better than"The Order 1866"" and sqeal and faint having seen about three minutes of The Order that looked like letter boxed Steampunk Gears of War at a questionable framerate (which might have been the streaming and not the game) in misty/smoky browntown.
Finding out more about the Order or Uncharted 4 is asking way too much from an "insider".
DigitalRaptor you can play most(nearly all) of those on steam, often for cheap, and buy them in bundles. It's a lot of cheap indie bundle junk.
Stick it to the man is on Wii U's e-shop and has been on steam for a while. So what?
"You CAN'T play Hyper Light Drifter on mobile. "
It's a freaking 'Gamemaker' game. A mobile port would be easy.

Ron Burgundy: Wow. Never ceases to amaze me. What cologne you gonna go with? London Gentleman, or wait. No, no, no. Hold on. Blackbeard's Delight.
Brian Fantana: No, she gets a special cologne... It's called Sex Panther by Odeon. It's illegal in nine countries... Yep, it's made with bits of real pan...
This is the same kind of crap that Bungie pulled with Reach and 343i pulled with 4. This is going to piss off players. Eliminating niche popularity modes is usually a bad idea.
Just by using the phrase "real gamers" smugly in relation to your over developed social justice impulse to fix the evils of fiction you looked both sanctimonious and deluded.
