So if I wanna lower a score on metacritic all I have to do is copy and past a html template into dreamweaver and give it a shitty score?

Brilliant review. Some of these angst-ridden commenters need to add a little fiber to their diets. Let me recommend some steel-cut oats.

I thought Nick said Dork Kickers there for a second. OH and Business Week has an article about Defiance and it's 'transmedia' advertising. There should be some in-game ads apparently or at least whatever company Trion Worlds is working with (I think Syfy's ultimate parent company is Comcast) are telling Dodge that their ads are in the game.

Getting fired from Gamespot for being overly critical should be a badge of honor.

And tomchick posted this a long time ago if you really want to know what happened:

It's okay Steve, no need to hide behind words. Just be man enough to say what you're truly implying. Thanks!

Strike that; region lock is removed. It just isn't being shouted about.

"... in which Nick Diamon’s nemesis is a baby grand."

Given the transliteration of the Italian for the instrument, I take it Nick expires to the strains of "Killing Me Softly". :P

Forgot about region locking, though since they're entirely ignoring Japan this time it's probably not a big deal. Really sucks that there are quite good J-only 360 Shooters.

I mention COD because its one of the most well known popular games there is. And yeah all those games you mentioned are fantastic. In my opinion TLOU does have above average shooting mechanics, they're not the best but they are serviceable and it is entertaining. But the main reason TLOU is so damn good is the story and graphics and all of that, It set out to tell a great story, not to re-invent 3rd person shooters. And its my 2nd favorite game ever behind Fallout 3, which of you haven't played because its fucking amazing, If you don;t know what it is its Skyrim in post-apocalyptic, but i like it infinately more then Skyrim.

Microsoft: "We've just spent a lot of money to make sure some people don't get to play with these new shiny toys!"

Titanfall is not exclusive, it's PC at launch. And there's a likely gimped 360 version. I'm guessing they paid to keep it off the PS4 for a year though.

Well, this doesn't inspire a whole lot of confidence honestly. They just figured out (belatedly)that their position was untennable today. They will still be working towards it which means it's not a good idea to get invested in their ecosystem. Not to mention there will probably be an increasing number of games hiding behind the cloud for always online DRM instead.

This does mean it's possible I'd get one down the line if there are enough enticing exclusives though, as opposed to never.

They should also cut the Kinect requirement. Removing it as a packin would allow them to be almost competitive on price(that is, same price but weaker hardware), but that's a lesser concern.

Ehhh not really. The PS3 one only allows for sharing with one other person and it's almost a glitch. Like Sony wanted you to be able to put games on multiple consoles if you had them, but found out that people were using it to give games to friends in mass. They changed it to 2 consoles later requiring you to do some annoying menu navigation and unregistered of consoles to get it to work. The Microsoft one was supposed to be a legit, complete feature. One that Steam doesn't even do right now. The closest for a digital platform is Kindle.

I think he's referring to when you were fired by Gamespot for being pretentious and overly critical.

He's wondering why anyone would pay you to review games. I don't think he realizes this is your site.

I know I'm just fueling the perverted attraction, but damn it DO NOT, under any normal circumstance, watch this movie if you are a fan of Silent Hill. OTOH If you want to be "cured" of your Silent Hill infatuation then, by all means, knock yourself out. Tom is being extremely generous IMO. You will be like the girl in the closet in The Ring who watched that video if you watch this POS.

Figured they would do this. I wasn't planning on buying one anyway, at least not for a while, but even friends of mine who are hardcore users of the 360 were almost in shock at Microsoft's statements the last few weeks, and were not planning on getting an Xbone. I imagine this turnaround will get a lot of those hardcore people back.

Of course many people will play games online and use the cloud. That was never in question. But it shouldn't be forced.

I seriously thought this was a joke at first. It looks like we'll have a multi-console household this generation as well.

MonsieurEek — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 18:30:15 -0000

Microsoft definitely spent a lot to get a couple likely timed exclusives like Titanfall and Dead Rising, plus I think the Kinect has a lot of potential and really want to play that Fantaisa game. Still getting a PS4 because I just really hate the way XBox does everything else like make you pay with fake money, the obnoxious ads, and just generally how I feel they talk down to their customers.

Re: Microsoft’s Xbox 180

MonsieurEek — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 18:26:42 -0000

The PS3 does the shared games thing. Not 100% sure about PS4, but I don't see why they'd change it. It's weird that that's even considered a feature to strip away.
