They must have a piss-poor PR department. They're one of the few large gaming-media outlets to have this trouble. Sure, everyone gets review code late once in a while, but if it's a regular issue for you when it comes to reviewing the bigger titles, then the problem isn't with the publishers.
My advice: send this episode of Soapbox to the G4 PR folks, or go stand on someone's desk in their office.
Are they sharing a dildo? WTF is that?
Man, the standards on N4G are ridiculous. That is what passes for a credible news source? I can't wait for toilet blogs to appear on N4G.
Wow, who is running this site? This is what members voted to pass as news? And gamers wonder why they're not taken seriously.
It's like throwing slop in front of swine.
They've inundated us with Halo. Pretty sure Microsoft has bloated that franchise into something that's now turning most fans off. The thrill has been gone for a while now, so it really doesn't matter what Respawn does in that regard. What he should have said was Modern Warfare killer, because that's the new king of the hill.
Thanks for keepin' it real, my brother.
If I were that boy's father, I'd demand he share the smoke with me. Damn bogartor!
Am I missing something? That sure looks like a picture of Suda51. Is he involved somehow in the development of Vanquish? That would be bigger news than which platform the game's leading on.
That is, indeed, hilarious.
Nice to know that gamers can sensationalize news with the best of 'em.
Jesus H. Christ! Way to blow **** way out of proportion, trying to create some damned conspiracy out of a childish gaming soap opera between IW and ActiBlizzard.
GTFO!
LOL
It's like something out of The Guild.
Does a bear **** in the woods?
Who the hell gave those guys a dev kit and then licensed their game?
:)
Yeah, but in all fairness, he did state up front that he wasn't reviewing the game and revealed the fact that he hadn't completed the game. He was merely relaying his personal experiences with the game, which will hopefully prove useful to some gamers, casual or otherwise. Better they not waste their money on a game that's not for them, rather than getting pissed off and hating something that wasn't designed with them in mind.
This is considered "Industry News"? I agree with all of it, but it's a rant -- nothing more.
A post made on a forum is what constitutes news?
OMG, Dyack needs to just STFU already. Truly. Why are games any more worthy of new-only sales than, say, an effin' car? Try using this logic on any other product -- see how much sense it makes to you.
Someone had to come up with the technical scheme for creating a car, and I'm sure a lot of work and testing goes into the process. So, we shouldn't sell our cars -- just buy new ones? Sounds like the whole "I want my cake and eat it, too" scenario.
Obviously, whoever made that list hasn't played DotA.
