Well, they have a ton in stock, so they are trying to sell them. That is the function of a store: advertise what you have in stock in order to sell that merchandise.

"A look at the problems which arise when a developer over-promises then under-delivers graphically."

I wonder if Paul at gamemoir understands that if the game releases (as Ubisoft have stated and shown ad nauseum) without a graphical downgrade, then he could be held liable. Here he is claiming the game has been delivered with a graphical downgrade.

This could affect sales. In no way does he claim "allegedly" or "rumored." No. ...

Beat me to it. By far, one of the best games to have the NFL license. I am lucky to still have a Phat PS3 and so I can still (and do) play it.

Just downloaded Mercenary Kings. I already had Arkham City so I am grabbing Call of Juarez Gunslinger for $4. Nice.

Lulz. Half Life 3 is confirmed today. The Mighty Number 9 is your Mega Man fix and , well, I agree with the others. I want a new Turok.

Mercenary Kings is out today for PS Plus at no additional charge. Downloading it now!

I have been really pleased with the plethora of indie games on the PS4, especially since I have gotten half of them at no additional charge!

Half Life 3: Confirmed!

I understood you. And I understand that you can't just discount a link between two incidents, but when Breivik uses the game to explain his acts, what is happening?

Is he trying to deflect blame onto the game? Is he trying to convince himself (or others) that it wasn't just him, that he somehow had to have motivation? What is his motivation to do so?

I find that method of argumentation incredibly troublesome. It is similar to another violent crime...

Good blog and I fully understand where you are coming from, however, this isn't something that is "debatable." It isn't up to "popular" or "public" opinion.

The FACT is that peer reviewed scientific research has shown time and again that violent media does NOT produce violent individuals.

Issac Asimov once said, “There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectual...

Well done and spot on. I wonder why people are so desperate to claim something that has not been proven and by all rights has been disproven.

Cognitive dissonance, certainly, but some have taken to it like it's a mission. Today I saw an article about this claiming a graphical downgrade. The article had been reported as a duplicate story, but was still approved.

It is a very, very strange incidence about this game. Ubisoft has been upfront about it a...

That's because you read the entire blog and understood it, as did I. Just like how I read your entire response, and understood it.

It is sad that we cannot engage in civil discourse about such topics without it denigrating to an xbox live Call of Duty level whine fest wherein the people cry about their privilege and mock the author's diction rather than develop a well thought out counterargument.

How was this lame/ fake story approved? OT: Ubisoft and every single video comparison and many of the devs have confirmed that there was no graphical downgrade.

The is PURE flamebait and it is by someone who has 1 submission.

I hope this article is gone by day's end. Pathetic.

And look how hard they are trying to make it look different: one vid is at night and the other during the day, one clearly after rainfall the other dry leaves b...

And that is the amazing part of it. Once news of Uncharted 4 drops, screenshots sweep the web, and a trailer that shows the game, the PS4 will get another bump in sales like it did with inFamous SecondSon. I think it is planned this way. Keep the hits rolling in and keep the system selling at a high number.

It is easy to see it is going to hit 10million by next holiday with Watch Dogs being the definitive console version and Destiny really being pushed on the PS4 side.

No, but he is certainly a troll, just looking for hits on his crappy site by writing flamebait articles.

And there is no defending it. These two games are genuinely fun, well received by critics and fans.

Oh, and before he comes back with a sheeple reference: How's this: The only sheeple are journalists that think writing flamebait is going against the masses.

So many people do it that finding an honest article about how fun a game is...

"this program is only available for Xbox 360 users, but Phil Spencer ensures that Xbox One will be getting Games with Gold ‘fairly soon’."

When and what are they going to offer?

Is that the March 28th one? I just got a massive update last night. I haven't been on in awhile because Second Son.

Thanks for your reply. Bubs for you. I don't get the disagrees though or the troll.. Oh well, thanks!

Order it through Amazon. Usually anything over a certain price has free shipping.

Did anyone else get the ability to switch back and forth between powers (based on what you absorb) once you started Papertrail?

I couldn't do it before I started it. Or is that just a coincidence?

So I tweeted this question to
"Jonathan Morin ‏@Design_Cave 7m
I said no unnecessary gore in takedowns. Blood spatter is in there but don't expect heads blowing up..."

There is the reply.
