I'm sure you know who Gamespot's Parent Company is. Most importantly when you are a National Broadcaster, the content allowed to be broadcast on the airwaves is limited to being what the F.C.C. deems Family-Friendly.
So when you mentioned the 1st part of my wake-up routine:
Maintain eye contact.
Establish dominance.
Have to give credit where credit's due because, CBS cares...
You should tell CBS that your mission should stick to games ;) . Not saying you did a bad job of this. Gamespot is not the place where I want to find news about movies and other forms of entertainment.
-Gamespot is the spot for game news, previews, reviews, analysis and discussion, and some original gaming-based content.
This sounds like a good mission statement that I could get behind.
Daniel did a great write-up of the game. But there seems to be a lot of outsourcing of work (i.e. game reviews). And the normal crew appears to work as what used to be called T.V. personalities. Is the Gamespot budget being squeezed that much?
@moonlightshadow: This wasn't a hit piece at all. Just because the interviewer asked the question in a different way doesn't mean he was trying to get the scandalous answer he wanted. Could of easily felt that the commissioner did not understand the question he was asking. Pietro Fringuelli likened himself to FIFA, and that was his mistake. Giving voluntary money to policy makers influences rule-making decisions. Pietro Fringuelli was constantly contradicting himself during the interview, and when he didn't, he used semantics to sidestep the questions.
This will unfortunately be worse off than before. Sure it's great that ESports will be more organized, but this will be more tainted as well.
@ThatPjYouKnow21: Police usually don't scream to the criminal what types of weapons the officers are coming in with, and their attack plans. I guess it could be GOTY if it was measuring amount of TP you will need after playing this. Because I am about to poop my pants on the way to the bathroom. About a 50 ft. walk. And I can only imagine if it was as runny as this game is is how much more I would need by the time I got there... CKY2K look up $h|t and run at the same time, and you will better understand my analogy...
Well lets see. EA has lost customers trust, and will NEVER GET IT BACK. EVER... EVER AGAIN. Yea sure you can lie through your teeth and smile. You will fool most people. But the die hard fans of your company are the loudest voices and will drown out everyone else's including theirs. Sim City online requirement because "servers do a lot of the workload". It didn't take long before that was proved false by the hacking community reverse-engineering the game (KEEPING THE EA HONEST, WHEN THEY OBVIOUSLY WEREN'T) . It was just an excuse to scare people to think pirated copies were impossible to use. When people had legit copies they got booted and lost their saves constantly. FYI: I had a legit copy, and I could never login to play the game for the first several weeks
So the community screamed for a patch to fix the server issue. They tried to keep the online-required functionality, and that threw gas on the fire. Eventually they caved and admitted it was a scam and settled by started by started that "On The House" program to make up for it. So that really isn't a "feature" of Origin. It is there because they F'd up.
And big surprise, the 4 year old (Tom Clancy's The Division in this case) is already crying because they want to eat the ice cream before eating dinner. They are removing content, and jacking up the price. Simple as that. They already delayed it so they could do this... Painfully obvious.
DON'T WASTE $100 OR MORE OF YOUR MONEY ON THE ABILITY TO SHUT A DOOR PASSIVELY WHEN COVERING THE SIDE OF THE CAR!!!
Yea this was an incredible experience playing it each time :) And it's too bad that the turn-based system in FF7 is completely gone. Something like this would be a great compromise between modern and classic.
