Yeah, it's a nice feeling all right.
Much nicer than hearing about the announcement and some gameplay footage of your favorite franchise getting a sequel, and then having to wait years until it comes out (for me, it's Bioshock Infinite).
I was pretty surprised when they said "october 2011".
"Really? That's what you're going to make your post about?"
Are you seriously trying to defend yourself with such a terrible argument? I criticized your opinion because it's outright ignorant, stupid, and childish. "Oh noez, he didn't score my favorite game the way I wanted him to, that means he's just trying to make people mad."
Yeah, sorry, but that's just completely ridiculous.
"maybe yo...
That's what betas and demos are for a consumer, a slice of the game to tell whether or not they will like it. Sure, a beta or demo often doesn't do very much justice at all, but sometimes it's enough to save someone some wasted money.
Some people want a game to be a certain way, and they show that with their money. If we had more "crybabies", then perhaps Call of Duty wouldn't constantly be one of the highest selling franchises ever.

A review is an opinion.
"THese people get paid to play games and give their fair assessment of the experience."
They do give their fair assessment of the experience, AS THEY SEE IT. To some people, certain things are more important to others. It's not a reviewers job to make sure their priorities align with your own. That's why there are multiple reviews out there. Reviews are just experiences than one ...
"Then more often than not, they do absolutely nothing but complain about the shortcomings."
That's how games progress. If everybody simply thanked DICE for the beta they put out and didn't complain at all, they'd release it as is and make no effort to fix anything.
If we didn't have these "crybabies" as you so ignorantly put it, every single game would be like Call of Duty.
"With all the 9's and some 10's this game has been getting, a 7/10 (meaning above average) has to be nothing more than an attempt to rile people up."
So because Destructoid didn't give Dark Souls a 9 or a 10, then that means they're just trying to piss people off and get hits? They're not allowed to feel a certain way about a game unless you agree with it?
I mean it's not like this was a terrible review or anything, it's qu...
Yeah, that's how I feel about Uncharted 3 and Battlefield 3 so far.

"But let's face it, we all know ign is about as legit as it can get as far as reviewing games goes."
I don't know, they're pretty bad sometimes. Just look at GTA4, Resistance 2/Gears 2 (given the same score, both had problems, but were most likely scored the same so as not to piss off the fanboys, as neither of those two games, as much as I love them, deserved a 9.5), Modern Warfare 2.
"Even talking a...
"I consider a game that has no semblance of a story and rides solely on multiplayer to be a bad thing, yes."
You have a very limited and ignorant way of thinking then. There's a place for all types of games in this industry, but obviously you don't agree, which makes your entire opinion worthless.
"Lest you forget, single player games BUILT the industry"
So? That doesn't mean they're any more important th...
I personally think they should improve the AI of the NPCs, and give them dialogue if you want to talk to them or different things to do other than stand around.
One thing that really bothered me and took the immersion out at times for me, was when I went on a rampage in the first city just to see how many of them I could kill, while I was killing enemy npcs, the regulars would act like I was completely invisible. For instance, I had killed all the enemies in the alley of the...
I have it now and currently like it quite a bit, but I'm glad I didn't get it when it first came out.
"Hell, this is the first console gen where there are games that are strictly multiplayer shooters."
Do you consider that a bad thing? Some games don't need a single player campaign to be fun or good, just as some don't need multiplayer to be good. I had a blast playing games like Warhawk and Battlefield 1943. There's room for multiplayer only shooters, just as there's room for sp only shooters.
You act like anything that has ANY e...

For a game that looks as good as RAGE that runs at 60fps, I'd personally consider that a graphical masterpiece.
Not really funny, just annoying.
To conserve money. Sometimes, a sequel to a great franchise can end up being terrible, resulting in a waste of money (as I've heard is the case with Dragon Age 2).
Though I do completely agree with this blog post, especially the first part. It's kind of depressing :(
Wasted money doesn't matter so much when you're a kid, but when you're an adult, it's not so easy to dismiss.
And there's one of the problems. You ...
Eh, I wish they'd give these bundled PS3s custom paint jobs for the ps3 and the controller instead of just including a game. The bundles are only attractive to those who are looking to buy a ps3, but a bundle with a custom paint job on the ps3 of something like Nathan Drake painted over the ps3 would entice even those who already have a ps3.
Just RAGE this month for me. Everything this month besides RAGE I can wait for a price drop on (Arkham City, Battlefield 3, Ratchet and Clank A41, Dark Souls,).
November is the big one for me. Definitely getting Skyrim and Saint's Row 3. Uncharted 3 remains to be seen, and I've only just finished Assassin's Creed 2 so I still have to finish brotherhood, so I think Revelations can wait until a price drop as well. I keep telling myself I wont get MW3, but I can&...
", i just feel that you could have wasted your time in putting together those lists on a more creative task"
I feel that you could have wasted your time in posting a more relevant and interesting comment.
You know I really wish N4G had a system that showed who disagrees/agrees with what. Then we could at least get a better sense of who these faceless, anonymous cowards are.
Show yourselves you pathetic wastes of human lives.
Some people make me sick. I personally hated Apple, but I would never be so disrespectful as some of these stupid childish disagreers are being.
