The game's premise is stupid, no matter how much it tries to mimic the real world. Am I supposed to root for android's now because some game wants me to? Anyway, expected score for a David Cage game. Worthy of a pick for $20 or less... probably less.

The greatest year in gaming, without a shadow of a doubt, that will NEVER be surpassed!

This list is utter garbage. Only Broly and Vegitto are worth it! I don't even care to consider the motivation behind putting Launch and Chi Chi on the list, but I'm pretty sure anybody with half a brain ca figure it out.

You can make a new list by throwing out the shit on this list and putting some REAL stuff on there! Android 17, Janenba, Jiren, Majin Vegeta, Super Buu (with Mystic Gohan absorbed) are all worthy of being in this game.

Who the hell still plays this anymore to make it a news worthy story? This game got boring after a FEW playthroughs, let alone 6 years...

Where are you people getting these numbers from? The PS Vita outsold the Wii U and the PS3 outsold the Xbox 360 world wide!

Gamespot, stop making fucking hardware reviews if you can't even dedicate a slide to 1 game at a time!

@7tizz:We TRY to do something about it. Having lived as an immigrant in many countries for years I can only say we enable people to get out of poverty but we keep excusing companies from any responsibility. Salaries are maintained artificially low through a combination of outsourced talent and isolation. If you want an example just look at the Disney developer scandal of last year (http://www.foxbusiness.com/features/2016/03/01/disney-workers-forced-to-train-their-foreign-replacements.html) - Yes, I know the source is Fox and is biased but I couldn't find a better link on Google.

The idea is that wages are kept intentionally low by dumping high amounts of cheap labour into the market. That's literally called dumping, which is HIGHLY illegal by most trading standards. That alone should raise alarm bells, but if that doesn't, then the living conditions (which are squalid for many South American immigrants) should. I agree that the ideal solution would be better management for illegal immigrants but that's just simply a pipe dream. You can write all the legislation you want, people will still cross borders. What the US SHOULD DO is ensure that minorities live in safe neighbourhoods, free from gang influence or ghetoization. It's the same thing that Europe is FAILING to do right, and the results are clear: a drop in overall income, unhappy people and terrorism.

You can only fight racism, sexism, terrorism and all other isms by educating and keeping people happy.

EDIT: Also, generally speaking, it's corporations or large companies that MOSTLY benefit from this way of "keeping people out of poverty". So long as you can still hire junior developers for less money (by PPP) in Western states than they earn in Eastern Europe or Asia you have a major wealth distribution problem.

@7tizz: I'm not exactly sure what you're saying. It's a well known fact that poverty breeds poverty, but instead of just acting like this is a fact of life maybe we should do something to fix it.

@RicanV: There's very few candidates to begin with. You can't just increase the amount of candidates arbitrarily. I know as I've been working in this field for 10+ years. The vast majority of companies have less than 10 applicants PER JOB! Once you filter out the resumes that don't meet your experience requirements, programming language requirements, tools requirements and educational requirements you're usually left with 1 or 2 candidates.

And even if, somehow, you have enough applicants to be able to choose from if you don't solve the root cause of the problem you still have a major discrepancy in the work force distribution. Sure, you can have 4 candidates, 2 of which are minorities and you can keep hiring every minority and woman that applies, regardless of skill, and you'll still run out of people to actually hire. So long as there's 3 or 4 times more engineering graduates that are WAMs you're not going to be solving this problem.

@zmanbarzel: That's not how it works at all. The vast majority of university graduates in engineering are WAMs. If say, it's an 80/20 split (I have no actual idea what it is, btw), you'll always have vastly more applicants from one group. At that rate WAM applicants have a 4 to 1 chance of getting the job, getting more experience and then getting better jobs. The cycle never ends. If you want to break the circle you actually need to do something at a much lower level than university graduates.
