  ...and instead they release another boring, won't be as good as the market leaders, multiplayer game because...games industry. Reply +9

• Ubisoft boss talks Rayman Legends delay: "Wii U was not going to sell enough"

• Shikasama 19/06/2013

  But how does not releasing it on the Wii U sell more games on the Xbox and PlayStation?
  
  Not sure I see the logic here. They are still releasing the game to same WiiU owners when they launch it later. Reply +3

• Rezzed developer sessions to be streamed online

• Shikasama 19/06/2013

  The question is, will it destroy the website like the Microsoft and Sony streams did?

  @Reemul Don't be silly, playing with people you actually know and are in close proximity to you isn't 'social' enough for 'social gaming'. Reply +24

• How similar is Batman: Arkham Origins to Arkham City?

  That looks exactly like the last two games. Reply +7

  I'm curious as to how many people leaving comments thought to themselves 'Damn, if they don't release this in Portgual and Poland MS are fucked' before this announcement. Reply -47

  @ShieldmaidenCae Against what? Launching a product in one country and not another? Reply -7

• Shikasama 13/06/2013

  Hang on, so it WILL be launching in these territories but slightly later than in other territories?
  
  So that means this story is actually 'Xbox One not available somewhere else when it is available in UK'.
  
  Surely this happens all the time in games, films, books...pretty much anything released?

  I do like that company.
  
  Fair enough they have to dance to the platform holders tune when issuing software on their hardware, I think we can all understand that. At least they commit to an ideal on their primary platform though, when they could easily hide behind 'publisher made us do it'. Reply +57

  This article will probably get slaughtered by a lot of people but it reflects my views more or less perfectly.

• Nosgoth set in Legacy of Kain universe, but Tomb Raider dev Crystal Dynamics not involved

• Shikasama 07/06/2013

  Awesome. One of my favorite game series of all time is reduced to a fucking multiplayer cash in.
  
  It's like when Bioware forgot that people loved KOTOR and tried to convince them they actually loved multiplayer. Reply +10

• Microsoft insists Xbox One Kinect doesn't record your conversations as privacy concerns build

• Shikasama 07/06/2013

  It's pretty irrelevant what controls they put in place because I'm not putting anything that could be even vaguely used as a corporate spy cam in my house.
  
  Quite aside from the fact that everything else about the console is, frankly, shit. Reply +103

• After some pay up to £130 for the privilege, "serious issues" delay free-to-play Marvel Heroes early access launch

  I honestly can't stress this enough - play Path of Exile or Torchlight 2. Reply +4

• Shikasama 29/05/2013

  Easily the worst beta experience I've ever had.
  
  The developer clearly doesn't have the talent or resources to deal with an IP of this magnitude and I'm surprised that marvel didn't pull the plug on this before it was "released". Reply 0

• How Dying Light's everything Dead Island could have been

• Shikasama 29/05/2013

  This isn't a Dead Island game, at least not as far as it's willing to admit. It is instead the product of the team's top-tier talent, and is the most ambitious project it's undertaken to date.
  
  Hang on, so Dead Island was made by Techland's B team was it?
  
  Article has a few things like that.
  
  Also, standard Preview bullshit. What's raved about in the preview becomes a stick to beat the game with in the Review. I need to stop reading these things. Reply +32

  So was this undiscovered or discovered by people who didn't immediately run to the internet to try and get some 15 minutes of geek fame.

• Football Manager 2013 best-selling game in the series

• Shikasama 28/05/2013

  Aye but how many bridges have been burned?
  
  2013 was shockingly busted at release and in terms of the match engine, the game today is massively different compared to its launch product because of this. Really basic errors that must have come up during the testing phases of the game were ignored.
  
  Even worse, SIGames reaction to any criticism was really abhorrent. Their forums became a 'criticism us and be slaughtered' zone as they flat out refused to acknowledge problems that would then show up in patch notes as being addressed. It got extremely personal with some of their top guys there and it was all very ugly.
  
  I can't buy another one of these. They've taken the game in such a wild WWFan direction it isn't that enjoyable for me anymore. I'm sick of them adding features that do nothing and how passive the entire game experience is.
  
  Loads of people probably still love the game and power to them, glad they enjoy it but for me personally I can't continue wasting money on something so broken at launch and so..uninnovative (is that a word? I don't think it is). It needs a proper competitor. Reply +12
