@Qmajinbuu Except, the Xbox One isn't struggling as a platform on its own. Those moves were made to keep up with Sony in order to prevent from falling into the position Nintendo is in.

Nintendo is actually struggling to keep pace of their financial expectations and is performing unquestionably worse than the Xbox One and PS4 already.

@StHapns247 Anyone who backed with the mindset didn't understand Kickstarter, anyway. Kickstarter is putting money to get a project rolling with the intention of getting the product later.

Backers got Oculus rolling. What they should be concerned about now is whether or not they will ever get their product.

@meatz666 RottenTomatoes is aggregates reviews from a variety of publications. This idea is different editors from the same publication.

@diskotheque Your first sentence in the last paragraph explains why so many people are befuddled by GameSpot's reviews. They're reading it from a perspective that doesn't include the experience the reviewer had with the game.

Skyrim, for example, scored well despite bugs. How does that make sense? Aren't games supposed to be docked for bugs, especially if they're mentioned? Well, if the bugs didn't ruin the experience, then it largely doesn't matter. It'd be similar to knocking 2 or 3 points off of Mario games because every story is garbage. And we know every story in Mario (the platforming games) amounts to nothing. But those games score well, too. Why? Because the garbage story doesn't ruin the experience.

According to the number scale, Skyrim is Superb. In one word, represented by a number, that's Kevin's experience with Skyrim despite the bugs. It's not always about what is objectively there, it's about if and how those objectively bad things mess with the experience.

@GeorgeOglee It will probably more feel like playing on laptop's touch pad than a touch screen. But I doubt that makes you feel any better. :)

You and I share the same sentiments, though.

I'm concerned about the thumb movements. I noticed he had to continually pick up his thumb to keep moving in directions. I know you'll be able to increase the sensitivity, but it's still a little disconcerting for comfort and ease of use.

This has nothing to do with new website design but I love Danny's segment at 0:55. I think it's his best moment on camera to date. Pretty good script writing, too.

@Hillsy_ Because Square Enix's original sales expectations were unrealistic for a game like Tomb Raider.

@CoricidinDXM Headlines typically leave "the's" and "that's" out whenever possible. But yes, it does read better with those in it. But the fact that you know that means you read the headline just fine. :)
