@Kage_88 I'm afraid I have some bad news since small sites tend to be 9,000x seedier and more unprofessional.

@Garet_Jax thanks. That means a lot, glad somebody appreciated the coverage. Will pass this along to Ken.

Thanks, Ken.

It's ridiculous that they gave people $10 for trying to rip off a developer.

@A_BabyRed_Yoshi lmao. Yup, that's the true game of the year right there ;p

@KelticDevil "Platinum should stick to their own IP's."
What properties do they own?

@BAMozzy you're right that it should help more games perform better, though!

@BAMozzy "that will mean EVERY game will be at 1080/60fps"

It really doesn't mean that at all. Just because you have power at your disposal doesn't mean every game is going to run smoothly.

@KelticDevil Here's a great developer blog on the difficulties of porting to multiple consoles, and why they regretted a universal launch. http://juicybeast.com/2016/01/releasing-an-indie-game-on-3-consoles-at-once-and-failing-financially/

And that's using Unity, a port friendly engine.

@BAMozzy you're obviously not the target market for the slim.

@KelticDevil you really need a primer on how difficult it is to port games.

Toby Fox doesn't have the prerequisite skills to port Undertale from PC to Xbox One, is he a joke?

@RustyBullet this looks retro?

"the mixture of more adult language with the accents provided by the range of characters is darned funny - probably more so to British folks - and fits well."

I can confirm it's hilarious on the other side of the Atlantic.

@TwilightOniAngel appreciated

@Red620Ti Uncharted 4 does seem like "one hell of a game" from what I've played.

@Gamer83 I would've been shocked if it wasn't better than Rise of the Tomb Raider, but then again I didn't think super highly of RotTR.

@KelticDevil the big difference between not including the 2 Origins games and just including City/Asylum is that they have to do twice the amount of work for a minimal additional return. I know you think remasters don't take any work (because you continue to insult developers repeatedly over it), but they actually do. Porting isn't some simple thing.

@Tasuki KEN GRIFFEY JR!!! Yes!!!!

Have fun, great game.

@frito did you get the latest one that has the licensed characters, or just the 360 games?

@KelticDevil I already explained why it doesn't make sense? Not sure if you just skipped that part of my post or what. They haven't done the Game of the Year version yet, and that'll bring it back on store shelves (and at full price). Bundling it with past games would come later down the line once these two SKUs aren't on most store shelves anymore. It's basic retail, and the behavior we've seen from publishers over the past decade.

Also, stop calling developers lazy. They work insanely hard for not nearly enough money. You have no clue what work it takes to port a game across systems, and yet you're calling others lazy. That's not cool, and you should know better than that.

@KelticDevil "I am surprised Arkham Knight is not included in this."

Because they'll put all the DLC for Arkham Knight on a disc and sell that for $60. Makes 0 sense to include that in this package right now.

@Anthinator I liked Origins more than City which I was massively underwhelmed by. Asylum is the only one I thought was great, though. Curious to see how it's aged.

@BamOZZY genuinely curious, why do you use so many single quotes around words?

@Gamer83 please listen to what you're saying here because you're saying it's impossible for anyone to dislike Quantum Break and have a valued opinion.

The next possible score he could've gave it would be a 3/5 or a 'good' on their scale.

So don't be dismissive when you apparently didn't even bother to take a look at their review scale, and are writing off one of the most (if not THE MOST) respected critic in this industry.

@Gamer83 except he didn't give a 4/10 so... ¯(ツ)/¯

@EternalDragonX liking gameplay mechanics is just as subjective.

So how would you score anything then?

A review is literally an opinion piece. How can you review something without personal opinion. Is there sarcasm that I'm missing here or...?

@EternalDragonX "When reviewing a game you should keep personal opinions aside and review the game quality itself."

That's an awful way to look at criticism and reviews. You're basically asking critics to relay a fact sheet then with a score at the end.

@Gamer83 Would appreciate it if you didn't lump in everyone who wrote for a website together. They aren't hive minds. Look at that individual's history, not other people who happened to get published at the same outlet.

And if you're saying that you're not going to take Jeff Gerstmann seriously when it comes to game criticism then I guess you shouldn't value anyone.

@Grawlog gotcha :metal:

@Utena-mobile I largely feel like cursing in an article really demeans any point the author might have. There are times where I feel like it's okay, but it's very few and far between. So, I definitely share your sentiment re: vulgarity.

Although, I cuss like a sailor when I'm talking and not writing

@Grawlog that's awesome to see that you read this site despite not owning an Xbox. Thanks for sharing. Although, you should give more indie games a try, if you're not already.

@KelticDevil It's more the fact that you haven't bothered to do any research on the game, yet try to correct me when I tell you there's a narrative in the game.

Of course, the "red guys" don't have a backstory. They aren't the subject of SUPER HOT's narrative. It's about hacking, and it takes place in the game's UI.

Also, I guess I'll play it and enjoy it instead of being miserable like others. Sounds like a great plan, actually.

@KelticDevil there's a narrative told in the OS that takes place between levels.

Not sure why you're being so dismissive, but whatever.

@KelticDevil there's a narrative.

140 looks sick. Also excited for Book of Demons. Interviewed the devs behind that like a month back or so.

@Grawlog glad someone is playing Wildstar. Things haven't been going well for the dev team

@stylon fwiw - I had zero issues with microtransactions. I never needed extra currency to complete it.

Lots of awesome stuff this week. Aliens vs. Pinball is really exciting.

@Utena-mobile they've found a nice audience on Vita in the west as well.

@RustyBullet It's a visual novel, not a role playing game.

Not surprised. Really doesn't make sense to bring over.

@VioletTusk haha my bad!

@renatto you digging Factotum? I thought it was really neat!

@EternalDragonX Agree with you on all points. Ocean Horn looks dope and more Kinect games is always a good thing.

Although, I'm very down for the stupidness of Soda Drinker Pro ;p

@BAMozzy not intended to be an insult. I just don't see how responding to the question posed in the poll with "none" is anything constructive. It's not an open-ended question.

I don't get how someone could not possibly find one game out of those 12 that they aren't the tiniest bit intrigued by. Unless they just straight up don't like video games (which is fine, but then why would they be reading this?).

It's not asking "Which game are you gonna digitally pre-order 12 months ahead of release?" but merely "Which are you most interested in?"

@BAMozzy I imagine that most of our readers aren't that miserable.

@MaccaMUFC maybe by the time Arkham Knight is that cheap digitally your son will be old enough to play M rated games.

@shonenjump86 I don't think the titles are on the line in that match so you should be happy then ;D

@shonenjump86 who are you rooting for at Mania?

@renatto Wolf Among Us is great.

@frito okay, Nick.

@KelticDevil if you don't understand how Braid was groundbreaking then I dunno what to tell you, dude.

Can't believe that's the game you choose to be dismissive about.
