seriously though, while I guess I can agree with most of the choices on here, I think the order is all wrong

you should fire whoever does the ordering of your lists

Nothing on there I inherently disagree with, though small text is a bit questionable and I think we're past the days of motion gaming being worthy of #3 on the list. That is, unless E3 decides to give people reasons to complain again....

also the only one of those things I agree with is small text

the rest sounds like you just ripped off a lot of stupid complaints from THIS VERY BOARD

They actually took out the online pass for their recent release Syndicate, indicating that they are well aware of the damage an online pass can do for the health of a game.

Oh, they're one of these ignorant crybabies.

I haven't looked at the article yet but let's take a guess.

"I don't like DLC! I don't like achievements! Too many sequels! Too much online! Too much brown! Cater to people living in the standard-definition Stone Age!"

EDIT: 4/6, not bad. I gotta say, lack of achievement whining surprised me.

SuperNiceDog didn't have to reconcile his name...
But Dauntless Hunter is now MrGreenonion

#8 is the only real complaint. I played several PS3 games on an SDTV, and I literally could not read a single word. MGS4 impressed me so much with its "large icons" options that actually made the game playable. But that was the only game that did so.

I don't see how #1 is a "modern" thing, games have been getting countless sequels since the 80s. If anything, we're probably seeing more new IPs in the current day

Small text is definitely one of the worst things about this gen. It's such an easy thing to fix too so it shouldn't be so common.

For the most part, I agree with almost all of these, except for #1.

Sequel Mania is nothing new. It only seems like it's gotten out of hand because this is the longest console generation we've ever had.

--
There was a signature here. It's gone now.
Your face is bees.

I didn't provide the pictures for the record.

Also you are living in denial if you think the options for playing multiplayer with friends is nearly as numerous as it used to be.

1. Sequel Mania

only thing I completely disagree on. Sequels have always been there in great quantities, and if they're good sequels why not? You don't have to buy them

Also I disagreed with Sequel Mania as well but Icehawk insisted.

I don't have to buy them, but developers I like continue to make them. I like a good sequel, I buy tons of sequels, but new IPs are usually more exciting.

And that is probably mostly a response to last year. Seriously look at last year's releases...

-Portal 2
-Gears 3
-Uncharted 3
-Skyrim
-Saints Row 3
-Batman: Arkham
-Infamous 2
-Battlefield 3
-Modern Warfare 3
-Dead Space 2
-Crysis 2

and Im sure there are more, those are just the ones I personally got. I feel they are a bit more widespread now than before.

You summed up this article perfectly!!

I don't see why ME3 has become the poster/whipping-boy for bad DLC.

Yes, it had day one DLC that was partly on the disc, but it was always intended to be part of the Collector's Edition. Would everyone be happier if it had remained exclusive to those of us with the N7 edition, or would there have been a hissy fit about that too? People always say companies should reward their fans rather than 'punish' others, but there's literally no difference- like the Blood Dragon Armour in ME2 was rewarding Bioware fans who bought both their ga- no, wait, sorry, that was forcing everyone to buy a game they don't want in order to get an entirely optional item they won't use because otherwise they're being ripped off. Apparently.

Or is the real reason that everyone's still pretending that business with the figurines was actually as bad as they made it out to be, without ever referring directly to it because they know full well they overreacted?

"My name is Ezio Auditore da Firenze, and like my father before me, I am an accountant"
Nothing is true. Everything is tax-deductible

Jawa, the question you should be asking is.

Why was a full character exclusive to the collector's edition in the first place?

I'm perfectly fine with stuff like Dragon Age where Shale was DLC for people who buy it new, but having to pay more than 60 bucks the day it comes out for all the comment, either through DLC or collectors edition is obnoxious.
