I'm more inclined to agree with your sentiment than Crazay's. I'm just tired of all the whining coming from reviewers lately. Like Sessler, for example. Now, everyone can easily post reviews (of games they bought without expecting anything) which he obviously has problems with. Why? Because the money train will dry up. And, with good reason. Most of us (gamers) are tired of the "paid for" reviews.
Crazay - You should count your blessings. Because it does...
Then get a day job. I have no sympathy for people with this "job". I review games for the fun of it too. I just don't expect to make a living at it. Nor do I expect anything given to me for it either.
I actually agree with him. I pay for my games. So should they. They certainly make enough money from advertisers and subscriptions.

Any regular user of eBay knows listing in wrong departments happens all the time. It's why in eBay's TOS it states to read every listing thoroughly to ensure you're bidding on what you intend to.
For instance, when I look up comic books, I still find action figures listed there. Sometimes sellers will tag it with multiple categories so their listing is potentially seen by as many buyers as possible. It's called entrepreneurship.
Obviously you have no idea what fraud actually means.
Technically, it wasn't fraud. His listing clearly said Photo in all caps.
This has nothing to do with MS. If you would read it, the retailer gave it to him. MS couldn't care less.
Also, Sega had the Master System in the 80's.
I bought one....
I just want a price. How much is this going to cost me, Sony? Especially since I already pay for plus. Is this going to be a separate subscription service?
Yeah, I get what you're saying. However, even comparing it to past Forza games, it's a disappointment. Less cars, less tracks, microtransactions and the probability of spending money to even come close to past games' amount of content.
I, however, think the game should be measured against a next gen counterpart. And, at this point, that would be Drive Club. So far, I'd be disappointed. This coming from a Forza fan.
Not really. You said that people are unfairly criticizing this game simply based on content. You also go on to say that it is a vast improvement over other iterations. Which may be true in handling and feel, but visually, it's not that big of a leap.
So, if Drive Club goes on to handle just as well as Forza, along with looking better and having more cars, would you then concede that Forza is a disappointment?
The only way I can see your points being valid, is if Drive Club winds up being terrible. If, on the other hand, it does what it's supposed to while having more cars and tracks, Forza is a disappointment.
Actually, fully powering off the console sounds easier.
Not true. Your OS isn't always compatible with old games. Can't play Baldurs Gate 2 on Windows 8.
I would agree with Battleaxe normally, but seeing as how a year subscription amounts to $4.16 a month, it seems like nitpicking.
Lococycle racist? "one of the worst games I've played all year." Yet, he names it one of X1's best. Conundrum? I'd say so.
With the Sony 2-year plan, it covers it for the length of the warranty. So, it is worth it. Besides, even if you only replace it once, you're ahead the price of a second console. Your math is flawed.
It's not true. All launch PS4's were manufactured at this plant. Mine works just fine.
You should have said all of that in the beginning, and left out the whole "I get free copies of games" statement.
This article and my original comment weren't directed towards little guys like you. I'm talking about the guys (Sessler, IGN, Gamespot) that can afford it.
However, I think it ruins the integrity of the process though. Even for you. You're less likely to review a game as 2/10 if you get it for free. Doing so might mean a pu...
