People actually believed that he would announce MGS5 in a fucking Magazine?

This is why i don't feel bad for Patrick, he made his choice to go with the story and he feels but hurt about it, but he is a professional and a adult and he should take responsibility for his actions and let it go.

And just to be clear i like and respect Patrick and that has not changed so keep up the good work.

I'm like 99% sure he didn't ask for anyone to feel bad for him, he pointed out their lame attempt at false news and reported on it to correct a mistake. Also learn how to spell "butt" if you're going to talk smack on the net, maybe learn to use "an" instead of "a". I wouldn't mention this except that your condescending tone made me all "but hurt".

I remember when, at the beginning of the EA/Bioware merger, there was that immediate period where you felt like that was the end of Bioware as a developer. Quality would suffer as games were shoved out the door and visions were replaced with dollar symbols (hyperbole!).

Then they pushed out games such as Mass Effect, Sonic Chronicles, and Dragon Age, and while a couple of those were in development for much longer than this merger, they turned out to be amazing games (at least DA:O and ME, but I still think that Dark Brotherhood is good for what it is).Then there was Mass Effect 2, definitely developed after the merger, and it turned out to be pretty much genre-defining in its quality.

Then we get Dragon Age 2, we see the direction with SWTOR (sweater), and the odd things coming out of Mass Effect 3.

I recently changed my stance on movies/TV shows where I had this revelation that once something I used to like ceased to be fun to watch because it was on its fourth iteration or season and things were beyond stale, I could, in fact, stop watching it. There was no force holding me there to observe the further exploits of a dead cast of characters and essentially waste my time (ironic considering the couple of minutes I'm wasting just typing this).

That stance has carried over to video games. I couldn't continue on in Dragon Age 2 because it was a completely different game from its predecessor and it didn't appeal to me. I loved Modern Warfare, but when it reached critical mass and the sequel was pumped out solely as a money-making endeavor, it soured me. I worry so much that Mass Effect 3 will hit me the same way, because it's no longer a vision: it's a matter of tossing everything against a wall in an attempt to cash in on every possible gamer. Once I see it as such, I want to run the other direction for fear of rewarding such behavior. Unfortunately, I'm so close to alone in this endeavor that my stand is meaningless against the millions more this game will sell.

But then, Bioware is a different company. Bioware is actually many, many other companies now. I guess it makes sense that things are different.

Dragon Age 2 was the only game from them I hated with every fiber of my body. I played that game for 10 mins and uninstalled, complete and utter pile of shit.

@The_Patriarch: The only preference that I'm talking about is preferring well written, unbiased, interesting news articles. I'm not saying Alex is a bad writer. I'm saying he is terrible at writing news articles. I would love to see his articles under an opinion section. They simply have too much opinion/personality/goofiness to be under the News Headlines section of GiantBomb. I actually like Alex a lot. I like his reviews and (in the old days) his video reviews.

About Sidenote: Yes it does when it's a news item. It doesn't matter how silly the thing you are reporting on is. The point is to relay the news.

You're way too serious about a game website. If you don't like the article move on. How do you seriously have enough time in your life to complain about such stupid things?

Even Microsoft is trying to prevent its player base from playing this shitty game. Good on them!

Yea, because you've totally already played the game enough to decide its shit right? You couldn't possibly just be an anti-COD fanboy.

After playing the last couple of CODs and now recently playing BF3 I can say I am an "anti-COD fanboy" and proud of it.

great article Patrick

but man never be so embarrassed to be a member, people have a right to believe in what they want to believe, so just because your atheists and have just as little real evidence for all that there is doesn't mean you can be assholes

You have consider that atheists are not the ones making extraordinary claims, that's people of faith and believers, hence atheists do not have to prove anything - believers however do, and can't. But such is the way of personal beliefs.

Couldn't have said it better myself. It always annoyed me when I was younger (and once in a while now) of how people would try to make me feel foolish or ignorant for not believing.

I don't force my disbelief on you, don't force yours on me.

I'm done with Netflix anyway so I don't really care. What kind of business is this unsure about what they're going to do? Why are they announcing things before they have everything in place? Amazon already has my money for Prime and they're giving me streaming on top of it so I'll just do that.

Yeah......... I was completely baffled by everything they have done for months now. I was subscribed for well over 3 years and dropped them qwik (get it?). I can't support a company who has such little respect for customer and no idea how to make, and stick with, decisions.

One of the Netflix higher-ups said in an interview that they knew people were going to cancel and that they didn't care and couldn't do anything about it. I think the phrasing was something like "oh well these are our prices", as soon as I read that I logged into their site and closed my account. Guess what, if you don't care Netflix then neither do I.

Oh my gawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwd.... I would love to play this game, if only they would bring it to the PC. I'm not holding my breath though :(

I hope I'm not stealing this.

Anyway, being a dirty European, most of this is of no consequence to me.

Thanks for sharing, that's amazing

How, if people here get s upset when a CEO of a tech Corp I'd hate to see how they'd react to the death of a loved one. People are giving him way too much credit for his work. One dude up above said "he changed the way we work and the way we think"? Really, in what way? Pretty stupid comment. He was a successful pitch man. His number one priority was profits and share prices. Got droves of people thinking they needed every new iteration of Apple products. They were methodical in their approach, holding back features to put in future yearly updates of the iPod, iPad, and iPhone and everyone ate it up. All reports indicated this man was a total dick. His death is a not a shocker, photos of him after his resignation showed a gaunt, frail man with legs as thick as my wrist, needing assistance to walk. His death is indeed sad, to his family and others who he was close to. If you're online talking about how sad you are over this you might want to get checked out by a psychologist.

I think your screen name says all we need to know, you're a real winner kid.

"all reports indicated", so you bash the hell out of someone based completely on hear-say? Mature as hell, try meeting someone even once before you come in here and run your mouth like a child.

You don't make a billion dollars for no reason, try again. It's easy to talk about someone else's short-comings yet they're infinitely more successful than you will ever be. Don't come here and troll, show some respect or just shut up. Tired of the stupidity here.
