Apparently writing skills aren't a prerequisite for employment over there. Gaming journalism is enough of a joke without a bunch of man-children making things worse with puerile headlines like that.
Why people get so insecure over products produced by mega-corporations that couldn't give two shits about them is beyond my comprehension. If people want to argue based on a consumer's perspective then fine, but other than that I couldn't possibly care less about who sold what. With that, like it's already been stated, shipped doesn't equal sold. It's probably just Sony trying to produce a headline to appease Wall Street.
I'm told that Matt Ryan is allegedly an elite QB. Could have fooled me the past two weeks. In five years as a starting QB he has as many playoff wins as Tim Tebow and now less than Colin Kaepernick. He's the new Peyton Manning, except that he'll never make it to a Super Bowl at this rate.
My expectations are so low for everything nowadays that I just don't feel like there's anything worth getting so worked up over anymore. I've been disappointed enough over the years that I'll just take any good game that I can get.
If you mean in game, I may shout "BULLSHIT!" at my screen once every so often, even when playing games like Civilization V let alone an online shooter. But competition gets the best of any of us I suppose.
I hope they don't substitute numbers for letters in the name as the thread title implies. From my experience, anything whether it be a TV show, movie, music album, or a video game always turns out shitty whenever numbers are substituted for letters in the name.
Has Will Smith watched some of his own movies? I've seen direct to video titles with better writing.

My problem with dialog in some/most video games is that it often don't sound like anything real people would say. Every sentence comes out as a carefully prepared punchline derived (sometimes poorly) from high concept TV or movies. It's wooden and boring, and sometimes laughable.
Difference in medium, they don't all scale equally. Besides, it's not like film gets it right either in terms of "anything real people would say."
Another article about Xbox Live Gold not being worth the money compared to PSN?!?! INCREDIBLE!!!
On a side note, iPhone games like Angry Birds make a lot of money!!! Motion controls don't work so great!!! Publisher's hate second hand games!!! Japanese development isn't what it used to be!!! Micro-transactions are no good, sometimes!!! On disc DLC is stupid!!! MORE NEWS SOON PEOPLE!!! HOLD ON!!!
This issue was going to come back at some point as we transition to the next console gen, so there was some basis for the article.
I suppose paying an annual fee for the use of a media extender where I sometimes play a game (I'm all but a total PC gamer now) seems to be getting a bit old at this point. Agreed with the others in this thread, I cannot foresee MS continuing with the paid XBL Gold service when the next gen starts (or whenever Sony says it does).
No, I was concerned that same sex romance scenes like the ones in Mass Effect would emasculate me, so i went back to playing Final Fantasy X-2 where female characters try on different outfits, that's more manly.
