Which consoles do you have? That makes a big difference.

I have really looked down on some of the stuff with Borderlands 2 as it really does feel like an expansion pack to the first game. I also didn't care for two classes they added. I really hope they do something different with the sequel and change the way powers and loot are handled. That being said I really like BL2 but only cared for it co-op.

There have been a few times yeah. Mostly they have just made me affirm that I want to wait on a game.

The first time I was made aware of the man complaining about not getting access to the Titanfall alpha was because of Patrick on Twitter. I clicked the link and was only able to make it about two or three minutes before I got the gist of the video: The man is a redneck who dips, doesn't like the PS4, early adopted an Xbox One under some misguided assumption there would be tons of games at launch, and is now upset he didn't get to play in an alpha which he almost seems to act like is the full game. Being from South East Tennessee hearing, and seeing, what I did in this video isn't weird. I shrugged it off and then went on my day. Being from here I can say he seems like a classic redneck from actions to demeanor. Also, having worked for Gamestop for two years in the area I saw people like him come in all the time.

Now, apparently, the video is going viral and tons of people are seeing this guy (who apparently streams gameplay from PC as well) and I wonder if people like Kotaku, Patrick Klepeck, and other gaming sites who link to this man aren't encouraging this kind of idiotic content? People like Francis, who I watch in limited doses, are playing a character and don't really fall into this category in my opinion, but this man offers nothing of use but curses, vitriol, and to ultimately push the stereotypical image of a man from the south: ignorant, dipping, and classless. I guess the overall argument extends to the news, cable and local, where they push things we "want" to see more than things we "need" to see but I think its a conversation worth having. The video offers no commentary or message other than the equivalent of "first world problems" and now he's collecting infinitely more views on all of his videos thanks to the traffic generated from sites relinking. Reading Kotaku's article they basically even said something similar to, "and you're welcome for the generated hits from this post."

Does anyone get what I'm saying? Maybe I am over thinking the situation and in this day and age this type of thing is expected or that people actually want to see and prop up people and content providers who act this way. I just feel its the equivalent of a person watching someone get beaten up and saying how terrible that is but then they pull out their cellphone and make a video of it to post online for hits. Again, I'm probably just looking at this a little too seriously...and thinking back to how ignorant and infuriating that guy was probably clouds my judgement a bit. I just feel as if in this modern age it would be better to not even advertise something like this video as in the end advertising it is only encouraging other morons to be the same in hopes they get reposted on sites like Kotaku and others.

In my opinion, absolutely. There were a couple of characters I like but Bioware should literally be ashamed at how hollow that game was. I could have ignored it if this was some sort of European or indie title that was released on Steam for $20 or $30 but to be a AAA title from EA/Bioware that was a sequel to critical and fan loved game makes it appalling. Boring combat, atrocious level design, overly reused areas, and more. I don't know if EA pushed them to do what they did but at the end of the day I think its a shame they went from a great game to a subpar mess.

I am sure by this time next year the PC version will be released and the next gen versions will either be out or announced.

@naru_joe93: Really? I thought I remember him kind of being down on KZ2 and 3 as well?

@mustainium: You also might want to check the PSN as they have some games heavily discounted right now in their 14 for 14 sale.

@naru_joe93 : Because Jeff is pretty jaded on 99.9% of video games these days and typically only loves games in the past sense not present. Also, most people in the "gaming press" crap on Killzone games. I look at them like Call of Duty games: if you are playing them for the single player...well, that's nice but they are all really a bread and butter MP games.

Right now? I will say that the DS is better. I would also say the PS Vita is better than the 3DS as I have played the Vita to the DS 4:1 and I own many more games, even outside of PS+, than I do the 3DS.

eh, maybe in very loose terms...sure. I would not say, however, that Dark Souls play anything like an mmo. After playing mmos for a very long time I would say that most mmo combat is pretty mindless unless you are doing something like a high end raid boss. Every encounter in Dark Souls takes even just a little bit of attention, unless its one of the mindless undead. Pulling stuff is less about the enemy being that much more powerful than you as much as its about managing the combat and doing things on your terms opposed to dealing with 5-6 enemies and different enemy types at once.
