"Best part - most hilarious - is now EA is coming out saying that they 'wuz hax0red' - this being their excuse for the performance - should I say lack thereof - of the 'official' Scrabble.
I could care less either way, but EA is full of shit."
"Wow..to think, such insanity and I missed it.
To summarize: Sophomore 'hipster' working for Variety with a penchant for knee-jerk hysterics uses IGN RSS reeds as primary sources and demonstrates aptly why we need to kick the poseurs out of games journalism.
"Unsettling?" - well that is history for you - full of inconvenient truth and disturbing fact."
"@zilo: EA does suck, for a rather long litany of reasons, most recently their forcing of DRM on Mass Effect and Spore PC - DRM not desired by the developers but mandated by the publisher, EA.
It's always been in the game journo world that the big mags - now websites - always hype the hell out of games whose publishers are paying big $$$ for advertising."
"Unfortunately I have a feeling their priorities are:
1) Piracy2) IP Protection (really, same as #1)...45) Fighting anti-gaming legislation, combatting the stereotypes thrown around by the media and social studies majors looking for the cause de jour
On 1 and 2 they have some allies I am uncomfortable with, ones with far deeper pockets, the MPAA and RIAA."
""Goons are just a bunch of uncoordinated mouth-breathers who never played any real competitive sports, and so they get their jollies with one-sided affairs against low-HP, or outnumbered opponents"
*Ahem* fofofofofofofof
I, for one, salute the new goon AoC overlords!
I'm torn between adulation (see horse kicking off cliff) and despondancy because I can't figure out how to change instances to avoid teh ebil griefers.
In all honesty there's not much difference between goons and any other group of gankers."
"It's great..leaving the structures intact leads to some odd gameplay, but it shows the promise of destructible enviornments.
Respawn time is fine - people who want Quake should stay away, there is no instant respawn."
