When Halo gains the status of Doom 1+2, Unreal Tournament, Thief 1+2, Deus Ex 1, Far Cry, or Crysis, it will then be worthy. It is not and it never will be. Each of those games, in one category or another, significantly progressed FPS games.
Sure Bungie has made other games:
Myth - A mediocre and forgettable RTS series
Oni - A forgettable TPARPG
Marathon - Forgotten by gaming history except by Mac zealots.
The only reason Bungie is known is for Halo and that is because it was a premier launch title on a console that was fighting out of its weight class. I give them credit for creating it and milking the franchise for all it's worth, because they are a business after all, but let's not pretend that volume equates to achievement.
After all, the Pinto sold in droves, too.

While absolutely ignoring games like Chivalry, FTL and Legends of Grimrock, among a larger field of equally deserving candidates.

IF it handles physics better it might have something going for it. Not that KSP does a terrible job, but its not perfect! 
You ain't just whistling Dixie. I'm hoping the next release fixes the following:
- Space plane physics
- Loading your space plane on the runway...IN A STRAIGHT LINE
- Time acceleration causing the physics model to spazz out and blow up your ship when it doesn't do that in normal time. |

...there is some satisfaction that comes from the "it just works" stance of consoles...
Unless you're Sony, with month long network outages and breached security. Or Microsoft, with eponymous RROD on all Xenon based Xbox 360s. Or Nintendo, with the Wiis connection problems at launch.
The only tech that "just works" doesn't exist. The idea of a complex device functioning perfectly, unassisted, endlessly is a myth.
Every computer, whether it be labled a "console" or a "PC", is going to have problems. Some get ironed out with revisions and updates, some are insurmountable design flaws.
The only thing that "just works" is an advertising campaign, which you parroted. |

The preliminary sales list actually doesn't look terrible. Sega acquiring Relic is especially hopeful to me, since it was Sega that published part of the "Total War" series, which is hardcore strategy. That at least seems hopeful for a possible Homeworld 3.
This is exactly what I told a friend. Bethesda was the next runner up for Relic. Being owned by the same company that owns Creative Assembly is the best thing possible for the possibility of seeing a Homeworld 3. |

...whereas driving in GTA feels like you're driving something with actual WEIGHT attached to it.
Yeah, like an anchor, a piano or a blue whale. The vehicle physics in GTA4 were fucking terrible.
Why did a subcompact feel like a 1976 Cadillac Eldorado, complete with ridiculous body roll? |

You are correct, "we" would not. If it happened to my daughter, I'd be having that conversation with her and asking her "What the actual fuck were you thinking?"
But hey, let's focus on the big evil website instead of taking in to account the rampant stupidity and the the personal responsibility required for being rampantly stupid. |

One of the women had her boyfriend take pictures of her unaware, she didn't have a choice.
One out of how many? I do feel for her but she's obviously the minority.
...one stupid choice shouldn't be a profitable venture for a (insert any company here).
If that were true, we'd have significantly less corporations in the world. Most corporations are built on the very idea that your average person makes stupid choices. |

I wouldn't say it's dumb.
Then you are forgiving to the Nth degree.
Whether it's the Internet or 1973, it's ridiculously stupid to have compromising photos taken of yourself for anything other than professional uses. If you're in to porn, then showing your assets has a very clear career advantage. Being in accounts payable or HR, not so much. Fun little perks are like getting roadhead on your way to her/his parents for dinner. Shit that, unless you are directly caught by a LEO, isn't going to come back and haunt you 5 years down the road.
It has nothing to do with trust and everything to do with comporting yourself like there is a day that exists after tomorrow. The stupid shit you do today on devices that can store and easily transfer that data to third and unknown parties will come back to bite you in the ass. It's not an "if", it's a "when". There is zero possibility that "never" is going to factor in to the equation on when something that egregiously stupid comes back to haunt you. |

Sorry, Rigs. I had the reply window open and had left for a bit before I came back and responded. Didn't even see what you said until a few minutes ago. |

Skyrim...and it looks much better.
Where towns/dungeons are a completely separate map. Great choice.
And, as Dades said, so did GTAIV. However, that wasn't the criteria that The Half Elf set forth. Further, Skyrim was playable at launch on the PC for most people and wasn't saddled with a crippling performance problem even on the most high end of machines.
Advantage: Skyrim. |
