Mass Deduction (née scrapking)'s discussions

By logically false, all I meant was you concluded that I enjoy paying more for things when we hadn't even established if I intended to purchase this. Probably not the best phrasing, but inspired by the fact that I keep trying to address your statement and so far you have yet to respond. Read more

Absolutely not when literally hundreds of GT2 cars are slight variations of the exact same car. Case in point, let's look at just the "A"s in the game: Read more

And while you're creating logically false arguments, I've never bought a copy of Forza nor a piece of Forza DLC. Read more

Gran Turismo 4's not exactly back in the day. GT2's car list is a whole lot shorter than the 500 cars included with Forza 4 (the spread between them's even bigger once you take out all the nearly identical cars from GT2, of which there were plenty). Read more

Game disc back in the day: 50 cars Read more

I actually read the in the early days of Xbox Live (might have even been during the beta, as I was a beta tester for the service). The most interesting clause I found in there was it was against the TOS to deny holocausts. Read more

Did you see the Star Wars Christmas Special? Apparently it can be worse than the Clone Wars. :) Read more

If you read the Kotaku article, it explicitly says he turns into that and more. Read more

If games from those days came with 500+ cars on the disc then you'd have a beef. As it stands, they came with far, far fewer. Read more

Relevant.

If only there ever had been such a product (Game Boy Advance being proper, I believe, three words and no "d" at the end of Advance). Read more

Haven't they added online multiplayer to the game, though? I thought only the campaign mode was running the same code as the original. Read more

I support this as well. Why shouldn't both genders be objectified equally? :P Read more

I actually haven't been following Gears 3 that closely, because I know I'm going to play it anyway so why spoil anything... but it supports 3D TVs? First I've heard of that. Read more

So this guy was around 13 years old when the first Gears of War came out? Suddenly I feel old (at the ripe old age of 38). Read more

If everything you say is true, then why even come here in the first place? Read more

Gnarkiller pointed out that the 360's attach rate is higher. That *IS* a relative stat, it's the number of units of games sold per system, which (since it's a ratio) adjusts for the raw totals being different. Since the 360 beats the PS3 in attach rate, the Sony rep.'s comment is a little... strange. And likely… Read more

I read people complain that Kotaku is biased against every major system, every major franchise, you name it. There was tonnes of positive buzz on Kotaku about the 3DS prior to release, yet you say nothing about that in your own (biased) summary of events. Read more

How about the Banana Splits theme? That's pretty iconic, I would say.

When I first became interested in console gaming, the Japanese market singlehandedly beat the entire European market in sales. That's not true any longer, nor is it likely to ever be again. The Japanese market has declined somewhat, just as sales elsewhere have exploded. The two together have been a breathtaking… Read more
