"The easy way out would be to drop scores, but let's not kid ourselves, as that won't happen."

Am I high or does this statement not make sense. The easy way out of what? This systematic approach to video game reviews? I feel like I should be intrigued by this "delving of video game/journalism philosophy" but I only feel like this is already subconsciously known by everybody that reads more than one game review. Giant Bomb could stop using their five star rating system but they don't. And I'm guessing that is because they wouldn't be included in metacritic or they believe people won't take the time to read the review. To which I think they are correct. In the end I believe scores are meaningless but quite helpful. Haha. I think I am high.

Anyway, decent read.

Wow... racist, but I'm Filipino and I totally agree lol. Instead we got a annoying, white, nerdy kid as the newest Giant Bomb member.

Sony should set some policies if they want Vita to take off. I'm going to just pirate all the games for Vita because of this article. Now I just have to wait for it to come out so I can steal one.

You failed us Patrick. YOU FAILED US!!!! WWHHHYYY PATRICK!!!!! WWWWWHHHHHYYYYY!!!!!

PS - Thanks for the apology. Even though now that I look at your last paragraph there was actually no apology in there... dick.

PPS - I love you man.

I can't believe some of you in the comments are brushing this off as not a big deal! You are basically saying it's okay for a company to outright LIE to you about one of their products. It's like a store telling you they will give you a $10 coupon with any $60 purchase and then in the end deny you the coupon and not give you a refund. There are some people with both consoles that probably bought the ps3 version just for the extra content, which DOESN'T exist. Some of you people may be fine with being deceived, but in this case it just seems criminal.

Read the review written by Kirk Hamilton on Kill Screen. Even though he gave L.A. Noire a score I don't think it deserved, the whole idea he came up with in his review is original and eye-opening in both story and game mechanics. I highly suggest any of you to give it a read.

@TurboMan

Did you go to E3?

I don't think Sony should be blamed for their network being hacked but the questions asked in that letter are ones I would like to know the answers to.

hey hey hey... smoke weed everyday.
