After reading the last 8 pages I feel I have been illuminated. gently caress viral marketing, its time to riot in the streets my brothers

drat right: On my agenda:

1) Amazon reviews will be from verified purchases only.
2) Sites like IGN who make their money off publisher dollars for ads will no longer be able to review games based on said ad revenue.
3) Publishers will no longer be able to extort gaming sites with exclusive preview material, which those sites need to generate web hits, by making them promise they need good reviews for their game.
4) Publishers will come clean on any product changes 2 months before launch. Regardless of any "free game" promotions and will be heavily hit if those publishers do not follow through on features requiring said hardware. (Gee, lookie here, this game - to be honest this is more NVIDIA's fault as they forced CD to not say anything about the PC version downgrade)

To name a few at the top of my list.

With that said, it will be a great game. But next time, loving tell the truth to your customers. And days of the viral shoutdown artists here are over.

Everyone needs to get a say, everyone can freely express their opinion without being stifled or called a troll when calling out the truth of an anindustry that has needed the wooden spoon on it's rear end for years now.

Oh, and by the way, the next target? EA's new Star Wars game which is developed within 17 months and has 4 DLC packages already developed to sell you a game at $100 to get the full experience when it should have been launched like that all along.

Long live the gaming consumer! It's time for an rear end whoopin'!

I will now vacate the thread so the honest posters here can talk about their excitement to play a good game that is about to come out.

For all that is loving holy will you just stop with the bullshit. The first 13 pages of the new thread are filled with your poo poo, people were excited to see so many new posts and instead got to read page-after-page of that garbage. I can't wait until people start posting screenshots of how amazing the game looks come Monday so you can shut the hell up.

In all seriousness, none of this matters. It's your sole responsibility to be informed about your video game purchases. Gaming websites are under no obligation to follow some sort of ethical code, they are a business, that is just the reality of the situation. That's just how it is, and it's pointless to try to fix it, because again, it's just video games.

Why don't you take your particular brand of insane autism or whatever it is and at least apply it to something actually worth getting upset about. Videogames aren't poo poo, and the 'bad' that videogame companies do isn't even a blip on the radar of what other industries perpetrate. Why not take your insane moral grandstanding to an industry where actual, genuine evil is perpetrated instead of something as mild as 'ripping off gamers' or whatever. Why obsess about videogame ethics when there's companies that are destroying the environment, enslaving the poor, and displacing and taking advantage of the desperate? Who gives a poo poo, in the grand scheme of things, if people's disposable income isn't wasted quite as well as it might be.


I challenge you, crazy guy, to at least be crazy about something that matters instead of some worthless bullshit like games.

You're in a desert, walking along in the sand when all of a sudden you look down and see a tortoise. It's crawling toward you. You reach down and flip the tortoise over on its back, Utnayan. The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over. But it can't. Not with out your help. But you're not helping. Why is that? Why aren't you helping, Utnayan?
