Wait, how does this affect Bobby Kotick?

Activision dropped it as they thought that it would not be competition (sales wise) for games such as GTA.

They were right, and I doubt Bobby (or other Activision execs) are losing any sleep.

They weren't right. They were retarded. Of course it wasn't going to be competition for GTA, but that is why you launch it in august when fuck all else like that is out. It seems Activision can only think in terms of holiday releases.

6-10 and then stop and never look back.

Anyone who says 12 or 13 is lying to themselves.

Current generation it was probably Alpha Protocol and Kingdoms of Amalur : Reckoning.

Alpha Protocol felt like a buggy unfinished and downright ugly mess while in KOA:R I was almost convinced I had jumped into some weird console MMO that no one else was playing.

Brilliant! GTA 4 was pretty close to a master piece and while I'm not a huge fan of SA like a lot of people seem to be I'd be very happy with a compromise somewhere in between the two.

I got Sleeping Dogs, I have no regrets, that game is great.

We can only hope it is dead, we can only hope.

I think that it looks technically brilliant, but the actual style of it looks like a lot of the terrible furry fan art crap you see on deviant art.

@BraveToaster: Big Boss was cloned and that made Solid, Liquid and Solidus, the scientists who did it were all killed by Grey Fox. Big Boss killed the last member of the old team in MGS4, so unless there was a paper trail, nobody could reproduce the same results.

I know the clones were also altered so that they could never reproduce (to be used as a weapon by the enemy) if that means clones also then it wouldn't matter either way.

Also I hope that he is dead, not because I dislike him or anything, in fact he's probably one of my favourite game characters ever but they should really just let him rest and be finished with a cool legacy and story, keep farming it out and no one will care.

It's struck me as odd regarding the massive lack of written reviews in general over the past year. Giantbomb is a widely appreciated site and I don't know what it is, but they seem to be slacking with the reviews.

It could have something to do with the whole "Company was purchased and entirely uprooted/moved to a new office" situation. Just a guess, though.

That only gets to be an excuse for so long. When they have people paying to keep the site alive, they need to deliver content. I can only cut them so much slack.

Exactly. I can understand that's a suitable reason when they were moving, but they seem to have been settled for a while now.

Got to agree, I've always thought of myself as a pretty die hard fan but I swear these past few months I've seen the occasional day with zero new content at all. I think we've gone a good 4 or 5 days without a quicklook as well sometimes.

BLOPS 2 HAS MULTIPLAYER!? THIS IS HUGE! IT WILL SURELY ROCK THE GAMING INDUSTRY TO IT'S VERY FOUNDATIONS!!! ZOMG!
