On journalistic integrity:

I am wondering...if it is possible that publishers and developers are "paying" for positive reviews and press, is it also possible for the same thing to be done for bad reviews and press for the competition?

We know that advertising companies have employees whose only job is to use social media to promote products and pose (and post) as just an average user that likes a product (guerrilla advertising). It is certainly pos...

Awesome job. And I completely agree about The Road. What an amazing novel.

I agree.

"Most Disappointing Year?"

For whom? I am loving my new console and playing every chance I get. There are so many great games available.

I guess these guys at PushSquare just simply don't like gaming. Too bad for them, they are missing out on some great experiences.

First of all, I am biased toward the PS4. That said, now is the perfect time to buy a current gen console like the PS4 and XOne.

I recommend the PS4 for purely selfish reasons: more users means more people online playing the online games I love.

However, both of these systems have tons of great games for people who love all genres. Coupled with the games releasing in the next few months and you will be backlogged with amazing games.

You know what is funny about this article. It's exactly the opposite of what BIG, EVIL EA has done with Dragon Age: Inquisition. They've allowed the reviews to appear online, thus building hype for a game that releases over a week away.

While I don't pay too much attention to reviews (if I did, I'd miss out on some amazing games), I am glad to hear good things about DA:I.

Play Battlefield 4. Destiny is rock solid in comparison.

You play online games designed for groups without having a group of friends along for the ride?

Then you deride others for doing so?

Why? And it isn't too hard to find clans since they are all available at Bungie.net.

@Deadpool. Since N4G is an aggregate site, listing the list (to avoid the clicking) defeats the purpose of N4G as a aggregate.

But, as the others have said. This isn't a personal attack on a person. I found the article to be severely lacking in content and the site as well.

Does that not make it a disappointing site? Lack of content?

...or to the observatory! Or, wherever it is your wanting to go.

OT. I think this will be one of those games that are fun to play but will receive a ton of hate.

Does this guy even use English?

Solution:
Step 1) Research and join a large clan.
Step 2) Befriend your clanmates.
Step 3) Have Fun.

The best part of this is that I have gained friends to my friends list through my clanmates.

Another "Destiny is a failure" article? Give it a rest, hateboy.

Let go of your anger. Why do you act like Bungie came into your house and stole your cookies? Millions of people own this game. Millions of people are still playing it despite great alternative titles coming out.

And millions are still enjoying it. (or go believe the haters that claim people play a game they hate for hours on end.)

So, to claim "fans aren'...

There are so many, non white guy heroes. Almost every RPG allows for variation. Call of Duty has multiple protagonists that are non whites. Then there is the amazing Walking Dead by Telltale that has both Lee and Clementine as non white protagonists.

A top 10 list barely cracks the surface. Samus Aran says hi.

What hype? We just heard of this game, this week.

If only there was a movement that argued for integrity in gaming journalism...

Multimillion dollar sales, good review scores, plus warm reception by players equals FAIL?

Voted down.

7+ Billion people on the planet.

Where did they come from!?!!

That means humans have had sex (at the minimun) of 7+ BILLION TIMES in the past 80 years.

Since sex isn't a one and done for pregnancy, the actual total is much, much higher.

Ooooh, how taboo!

Me too. If I can wipe out the Templars and the evil abomination known as the Chantry, then it will all be worth it!
