This is such a lazy article, and devoid of any real insight. Making some noncommittal comments and abundantly obvious observations about the specs of the PS4 does not a compelling article make.
Besides, so the PS4 is a fairly powerful PC that Sony will be willing to take a big hit on the retail cost of in order to get it in your living room?
Wow, I have to admit, this is pretty rad. The product designers must have known that it was quite likely that nobody would find this for quite some while, and to still do it anyway, yeah, just awesome.
Unless there was legitimate reason to believe that the absence of female presenters was anything other than a coincidence - which there wasn't - that kind of questioning is unwarranted. I mean, do you follow up that question by asking why there were no black people, or disabled people, et cetera? Do you just ask every variety of that question possible in hopes of blindly hitting pay dirt eventually?
It does seem that the Gawker sites have some serious overlap when it comes to commenters, yeah. It's like a standing army that is shifted from front to front as needed.
Ah, I'll expend my last bubble conceding that you have made some cogently rational points.
I certainly agree that the obsession with and dependence on ratings have fostered a culture of sensationalism amongst news outlets, and you could definitely argue that if so many people weren't susceptible to the allure of sensationalist reporting then it wouldn't be so effective at attracting large viewerships, and thus would probably be abandoned. This is undoubtedly a fai...
Promoting ignorance is only a single facet of the transgressions that the mainstream news habitually perpetrate. They do not simply mean to misinform, but to actually shape and mold public opinion as to align it with whatever agenda is currently held by those ultimately at the top of corporate ladder in which they are merely a dependent rung, and in doing so they can directly and sometimes even considerably manipulate the way that people vote, thus affecting the law of the land (potentially i...
Fighting against something morally wrong is never pointless, even if that struggle ultimately proves futile. There is something intrinsically valiant in the act itself.
There's certainly nothing admirable or productive in doing absolutely nothing to resist the misinformation spread by the mouthpieces of the big news corporations. They are undoubtedly formidable opponents when it comes to (rightly or wrongly) influencing public opinion but they only present an unsurmountab...
I didn't say that the game's 80s setting meant I could not enjoy the game, and, in fact, I said in the very first line of the last paragraph of my reply "I still enjoyed playing the game". I did enjoy playing the game. The gameplay was undoubtedly fun. Yet a game is more than gameplay, and each of a game's components can be critiqued on its own, and whilst I enjoyed the gameplay and, to some extent, the storytelling, I did not much care for the 80s setting (among other t...
I'm genuinely curious: why is my inability to relate, in any way, to the game's setting, which is a massive part of the game, an invalid reason for me, personally, to not be able to enjoy it fully?
I have no problem playing and enjoying games which take place in a time period other than the one I've lived through, but the time which a game is set in is not always intrinsically central to that game. Ask som...
Just what I was gonna say. Yeah, it may ostensibly be priced the same elsewhere, but people mostly buy it when it's on sale for a small fraction of that price.
I love GTA: San Andreas but I have to think that Rockstar are only attempting this high price point because the massive hype for GTA V will provide a surge in sales for this previous game.
This article simply has no merit whatsoever. It's clear that the writer is either in enormously self-reinforcing denial, or is simply poorly playing devil's advocate to troll for hits. I'd be inclined to lean towards the latter in my prognosis.
Bizarrely, even considering what it is he says, it doesn't ever seem like he actually believes in the the idea that he's promoting.
I'll be sure to ignore this writer, and his lack of integrit...
There are so many problems with this article, mostly concerning the writer but also what Ken Levine actually says.
Firstly there is the part where the writer interjects "Personally, I found this all to be a bit of a non-troversy". This is a pointlessly dismissive statement. If it was an event unworthy of controversy, why are you addressing it? Why are you publishing an article attempting to justify what happened?
Thanks man. Yeah, I totally agree. Also, Hitman: Absolution opts for the wrong sort of violence usually, especially considering its propensity to drift towards comic violence, which really hurts the immersion.
Yep, and I'm sure you're not alone in that sentiment. It's kind of surprising really, since it's rated 18 in the UK. If you're gonna earn the highest age rating, you might as well push the boat out and feature some actual nudity seeing as you can really get ostracized anymore. Besides, with the extremely prevalent sexual content that the game features, it's bizarre that it all remains just a hair under softcore pornography, but just above being raunchy enough to get yo...
Aye, I know. By 'porn' I was simply referring to the sexual content as a whole. It was just the word that sprang to mind when I was trying to concisely title the article.
Ah, I find myself surprisingly excited by this. I played through GTA 3 on my iPhone 4 and found it to be a very enjoyable experience, despite the finicky controls and the cramped screen real estate. Something about the charm of playing GTA on a phone just makes up for all the technical shortcomings.
Now with the bigger screen on the iPhone 5, Vice City should be pretty awesome. It'll certainly make train rides go quicker.
