Another things Kotaku is lacking, and this article is proof of, is lack of responsibility for their own writing. They have millions of readers (95% of which don't even comment!~) and they write uninformed crap like that. I don't know if they like games or just like pageviews, but if all eyes are on you, you better think a bit before posting something. Not because of the way your writing will make you look, but how it will affect public perception. Saying $2.800 is ok is extremely bad. Not because it's not ok on an objective level, but because you'll drive off more console players from PC gaming. It's as bad as the actual Razer marketing for this laptop. A lot of sites which cover PC gaming are currently in damage control mode "No, this is not saving PC gaming, Razer is being stupid. PC gaming doesn't even need saving." Then comes Kotaku with "THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER AND IT HAS AN OK PRICE!" What a line like that could mean: console gamer sees it, obviously knows they can never afford it, writes PC gaming off. Instead of informing that same reader of the state of things, you just feed him more and more misinformation. And when somebody tells you your article is bad, yo, then you shit on them? "Oh, this is my site, I can write whatever the fuck I want." If the staff on Kotaku like games and gaming, then they are damaging it more than they think due to their own arrogance.

He's either a Razer fanboy (which I doubt), or very easily hyped/impressed (which seems more likely). Articles that imply a greater meaning in a release can either make for good writing or become disasters. Like, say, if you were to write an article when Resident Evil 4 was released on how the over-the-shoulder camera is more important than the actual game. He's trying to make good points on a very bad example and the whole article suffers from it. He could have saved if it was written from the perspective of a console gamer and saying what the Razer Blade would mean to him as a console gamer intimidated by PC releases.

I don't really think he got payed for the article, I mean, I first heard that accusation from other folk after reading the comments. My only problem was that the whole thing was written very ignorantly. The author made some very weak points and I don't think that's because he's corrupt, but rather because he has no idea what he's talking about. Even if Jim did think that the point of "standardizing the PC platform" was a good one, it was applied to something that was a very feeble attempt at standardizing the platform, if it was one at all.

Peasants don't get upvotes or stars, Dex. You should know that <3

Welcome~

It's on my to-get list. I want to go into it with as little info as possible, actually.

It's a nice breath of fresh air from the approach of other fighting games~

Fucking Kotaku is hard. They're so stuck up!

Wow, that's really an irrelevant counter-argument attempted to gain merit and approval by being a witty humourous response <3 I was born in 1989 and while I did play games from the 16bit era, I was too young to know anything properly. I know about that period of gaming well enough because I actually spent 2 years later in my life playing those game exclusively. Age or whether you've been into something more than someone is irrelevant, or rather, that actual fact is irrelevant. It's what you did with that time. If he was confident enough in his own knowledge and article, he would have argued the finer points. I personally ignore rude comments directed at my work or respond to them equally rude. The person he was responding to was willing to offer backed-up arguments, at least show the same courtesy or just don't respond at all.

I realize why he'd unstar you for that, but I find it quite sad that he found it appropriate to tell you how you don't deserve a star.

I'll prolly nab CS:S on the next sale whenever it happens.

And yet they'll still earn money on that crappy coverage.

I remember reading that the biggest concern of a writer of the Times was that the future would be unbearable. The demand for transport would be so great due to increased population, that we wouldn't be able to clean the streets from the carriage horse dung. And then then we got cars. Also, PC gaming has the same visuals as the PS3 because consoles are holding them back, due to almost everything being multiplatform.

But what if there are hats~?

Not really. Fighting game fans eat this shit up all the time. It's a long story as to why, I'll talk about it some other time.

MY BODY IS READY FOR THIS~

Aye, leave TN alone. Let's talk about Origin and how SWTOR is surprisingly not required to have Origin to play anymore.

I don't think it's smart for him to actually comment on this one in any way or form at the moment.

Played the demo. Gears of War meets Starcraft with Orks? I smell lawsuit.
