Yeah, exactly. I can't tell you how many games I played where the story was clearly an afterthought and one little thing would throw the entire story out the window.
As for the beta itself, I think I put in about ten hours of playtime altogether, and I still hadn't felt any better about it. I've been on FH2 since last Tuesday, completely addicted. But yeah, if you're willing to pass along that code, I'll give the beta another whirl and see if I can't f...
Congratulations, everyone! Indeed, coolbeans, your review for TLOU was a fantastic read.
While Forza Horizon 2 has the best visuals I've ever seen in a game so far, they're still not exactly perfect, which is why I gave the visuals category a 9.5 and not a 10.
Aw, congratulations Cat! A very Happy Birthday to you indeed! I hope it's a great one, dear!
I can't tell if he was hiding an uninformed review in there disguised as a purchasing guide for parents. It's 2014; if parents can't read the game box where it clearly states "Rated E10 for Everyone 10 and Up" and lists the reasons why, there's a problem.
I'm glad a lot of people are enjoying Destiny. It's just simply not my cup of tea, regardless of how great it may be. :)
& thank you for the compliment. :D
Great read and excellent review. I'm not much for first person shooters, nor Halo or Call of Duty, so I was already planning on giving Destiny a miss. I'm glad I'm not missing much by doing so.
Yeah, now that I've thought more about it, I think I should have given it my gamer score, not my fan score. It's hard to explain: I dislike it, but I love it at the same time. It somewhat boils down to the gameplay; they changed a lot, but the core gameplay remains mostly the same and that's all I really cared about with The Sims. Does that justify the score I gave? Probably not, but I've been playing it virtually nonstop, so I guess that says something, lmao.

If you look at the final score where I gave it a 9, it's overall, not an average. Maxis' reputation was indeed long since destroyed because of EA's greed and it will undoubtedly continue. The Sims 4, as said in my review, is certainly a step back in some aspects because it is a very basic, very barebones game in comparison to The Sims 3. However, that doesn't make it any less enjoyable when you appreciate the game for what it is and not compare it to its predecessors.

I agree completely. I hold Square Enix at a higher responsibility than I do Microsoft, but I still criticise Microsoft for wasting time doing all this when they could in fact be working on their own IPs instead of buying third party products.
Well said. You know, in the blog post I submitted, I read a lot of comments from people that seemed to be confused why I cared and claims that because I own an Xbox One, I'm "unaffected" by this deal with Microsoft and Square Enix. I didn't even want to acknowledge that ignorance with a response, but this blog post of yours pretty much sums it up nicely.
Well done. :)
Chalk up another entry here. :)
Can't wait to see who wins!
I'd love to have one of these. Awesome contest.
If you're talking about me in your closing sentences, there's nothing for me to wait for considering the fact that I own an Xbox.
You're asking the wrong person. I only have experience with the demo, which is just the beta version of Create a Sim. You'd have to ask Maxis. :)
I don't see anything that clarifies whether or not it's a timed exclusive, so as of now it's safe to say it's permanent until confirmed otherwise.
I agree completely, however some people have stated that they're considering a possibility of this being Square Enix's decision without Microsoft funding. I entertained the idea for a minute but ultimately, it all comes down to Microsoft and their money.
Congratulations, Darklurkr23! What a prize that was! :D

Yes, unfortunately the Xbox 360 version was not given nearly as much attention as the Xbox One version. For example, the 360 version is receiving no DLC for some reason. Only the Xbox One version is getting additional content.
