Top 10 Gaming Controversies of 2012!

[@whyitr1ot]

Joe! No matter how much money they throw at you. NEVER let anyone buy you. Please continue to crank out honest reviews.

[@moe5020]

***** unless its got like 7 zero's on the end of it.

[@nhm86]

MrAV8gaming haha yeah like in a big bag :)

[@FREECIVVIE]

MrAV8gaming with that much, after they pay him, he can buy THEM!

[@CorkScrewDood]

+Wyatt Putnam What do you mean? Like Get paid for his "real" reviews or like people pay him for "fake" reviews?

[@EmpressTiffanyOfBrittany]

+Wyatt Putnam Considering they snubbed him at that shit ass video game award show, I doubt he'd event want their shitty money, except to take it and run.

[@sahilhussain3639]

I like how angryjoe is way more famous than any of those game journalist now. a true underdog story.

[@lukeheuwin9947]

+Sahil Hussain before this video i didnt even know who the fuck that guy was

[@dylancampbell8851]

Yea ikr look up any review of his and it has WAY more views then igns or gamespots review of the same game. Its awesome.

[@quackmire151196]

"journalist" like the fox and NBC and CBS and CNN "journalist" right?

[@Sethasss]

arent muslims not supose too play games ? :)

[@whou2952]

Sethasss huh? where the fuck did you get that from?? go back to your basement pig xD

[@crashcarter8944]

Gaming controversies seemed so simple back then

[@TheFLAMEXD]

They really did.

[@theddd15]

20:03 I love that moment when I see the Dorito King Geoff insult Angry Joe like that. It's funny how the tables have turned in 2014. Video game journalists sites and sellouts like Geoff Keighley have become worthless, while youtubers like Angry Joe, Total Biscuit, etc. are now the 'go to' fix for honest games media.

[@eavyeavy2864]

Ironically 1 2 years after that Geoff turned out to be the least corrupt of them all. Or do you consider working for money evil? You are as naive as baby

[@-lotus8650]

"We need more great game journalists." heehheeheheheheheheheheheheheheheh HAHAHAHAhAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAHAHAHHAHAHAh

[@joet8862]

+Lil Connor more? How about one to begin with! By 'more', he must mean 'more sellouts'. No thanks, there's enough of them.

[@runningguy-mj7eo]

+Joe T Do we even need them?

[@joet8862]

runningguy54321 i suppose they are a conduit between us and the developers, to tell us stuff that the developers are doing with games. Well i suppose they could cut the middle man (games journalists) and just tell us the information themselves. But i suppose it is quite a redundant job.

[@runningguy-mj7eo]

Joe T Very true.

[@joet8862]

runningguy54321 I do think it is quite a redundant job, there's more useful and contributing ways for me to make a living. Gaming is in a more positive light in the US than it is in the UK, so if i was to tell someone i was a games journalist, they'd give me that sort of look like 'oh well'. So not only is it an unnecessary job, but it gives the people in that area opportunities to sell out! which is despicable.

[@skywriter9532]

Gaming Journalism is dead. Reviewers such as Joe and others are the future of games media.

[@GreatfulGert]

+Crimson Gamer AngryJoeShow, BDobbinsFTW,

[@AW-tv3vn]

Fringy

[@alkapowportstar7808]

+Crimson Gamer that's not completely true, there is a game review show in the uk , it's on a channel called Challenge, its pretty good as well. oh and there are probably thousands and thousands of magazines world wide that are available in most newsagents / shops. so it is most def not dead.

[@tweekbros3273]

Alkapow Portstar he/she means that most journalists can be bought out to give their game high prices Cough in cough

[@kungalexander829]

This comment aged well Indepedent youtube reviwers is no different They are just as shills and fanboys as game journalist

[@kanadetachibana9218]

Tomb raider is allowed to use rape rape as a character development tool, it is a serious thing that leads to serious emotional changes. The fact that people accuse them of stereotyping women is only suggestive that the critics are sexist, because rape really happens, to both sexes. If a man was being trying to be raped in a game nobody would care. Some feminists piss me off.

[@TheH00PLA]

Ikr

[@OldSchoolDudeGaming]

yup, look at domestic abuse, feminists fail to point out that males get abused almost just as much as females and thats just what is reported since most don't believe when a male is being abused.

[@christiangriffith7233]

You misspelled feminazis

[@rawrdino7046]

Angel beats

[@kanadetachibana9218]

***** That was an awesome story.

[@legendofFranktheTank]

Also I know this video is old, but as someone who makes games, I can safely tell you that everything that capcom said about dlc is absolute bull

[@milesleblanc164]

Frank Da Tank An indie developer or do you work for a company?

[@legendofFranktheTank]

Miles LeBlanc neither, just a hobbiest, I don't actually make any money off of it, it's just a fun pass time.

[@milesleblanc164]

Frank Da Tank I'd like to try one of your games.

[@legendofFranktheTank]

Miles LeBlanc I'm working on putting the good ones up on a website, but I'm not amazing at the whole html thing, so eply to this thread when it's ready

[@milesleblanc164]

Frank Da Tank By the way, do you put alot into your games like alot from you in your games? Is it a huge weight making them?

[@MrMattyPlays]

The story of 38 Studios is so sad. Loved KoA.

[@agunemon]

True... I put a ton of ours in KoA second only to skyrim...

[@Dcook85]

Laura Croft is a bad ass survivor in the game, it's ridiculous for feminists to bash this game.

[@kabob21]

+The Gaming Jesus This is the same type of bullshit argument/contrarianism used to take the legs out of the Black Lives Matter movement i.e. "all lives" diversions. The point of movements like feminism to highlight the very real plight of minority groups so as to address said issues and make strides towards fixing them. Things that plague men are separate issues entirely. How would you feel if, say, a group advocating awareness of testicular cancer were to be bombarded with criticism asking how women feel about it, instead?

[@JackSpackProductions]

*Lara

[@IlDeimos]

I agree. It's a damn game. first of all, how do they think Lara Croft became a bad ass, how do they think it's so easy for Lara now is able to man handle a grown man? Because this is her origin story, it had to be like that, she had to be badly beaten next to death, so she can bounce back from that to be 10x stronger and smarter. It's just the public didn't see her origin story before this game, but they should of guessed how it was going to be. I think they told her story very well.

[@terrancevanliew1814]

+kabob21 Why are things that plague men seperate issues? There is no benefit. to having sperate groups devoted to the issues of a specific race or sex. All it does is create a visable line of seperation and prepetuate an "us vs them" mentality.

[@Dcook85]

Terrance Van Liew Agreed

[@ScribeNemarious]

On the matter of Games Journalists: Does ANYONE take reviews on IGN or in Gameinformer seriously? I haven't given two cents what the big outlets think about games for years now and myself and most of my friends who are gamers get our reviews exclusively form people like Joe, totalbiscuit, and Yatzee. There seems to be a pretty universal consensus among serious gamers that the big "industry" reviewers can be bought and can't be trusted.

[@MawjadTowerzThe_Gamer]

It is mostly casuals or idiots who take them seriously

[@aaronricard6186]

Zack Reid only the run-of-the-mill casual gamers who don't know much about video games at all

[@chad4177]

Zack Reid Reviews might play about 2 hours of a game before they write a review. The more it is rushed, the less accurate it tends to be. All "News sites," are competing to get their reviews out first. They are less respectable.

[@eitkoml]

Zack Reid Totally. However, even the hosts of youtube channels can be bought out. The industry pays attention when dissenting voices become widely known more trusted than their preferred 'reviewers' and don't like it. edit. Totalbiscuit exposed an example of this in his WTF is Shadow of Mordor? video where he told about the marketing firm paying youtube reviewers for favorable coverage. Jim Sterling too. Before that there was the controversy where MS paid youtube hosts for favorable coverage of the Xbox One. If you want to look that up look up "XB1M13", the code that was used for it.

[@danaberg6354]

Zack Reid I think most people only buy GameInformer for the GameStop Card. The editorials are half-assed or total bullshit arguments.

[@mitk01]

I absolutely love the fact that this format has been staying the same for so long!

[@thewarriorwraith3556]

[@ShogunTake]

You know at 20:10 it honestly takes balls to admit you were inexperienced and even that you didn't wish to return. Seriously a lot of people like to cover up things like that and try not to mention them again and for that I take my hat off to you Angry Joe

[@DavePopeMusic]

Error 37 guy cracked me up. What's the other 36?

yea boogies a great youtuber

[@ej_029]

After Kane and lynch i have NEVER listened to gamespot or ign again

[@Lyubimov89]

Wow. The Dorito Pope really seems to be a pretty toxic person.

[@aaronricard6186]

anyone complaining about Bayonetta 2 should have went and complained to Microsoft, not Platinum

[@cyanmanta]

Damn right. Microsoft or Sony could have backed it, but they didn't. If you wanted Bayonetta 2 on one of their consoles, you should be angry at them, not at Nintendo.

[@aaronricard6186]

***** how so?

[@videogamemanor]

Aaron Ricard Not a bad point, but I think a better way of handling it, if Platinum was having trouble financially, would be to have a kickstarter that fans can donate to to get the game on all consoles. Throw in some investors and I'm sure they can top what Nintendo gave them.

[@videogamemanor]

Not a bad idea, man.

[@fedorapg1595]

+HOBO BRO old comment but Nintendo was the only publisher that would fund the game. Nobody else wanted to do anything with the game. Why would Nintendo pay to put a game on other systems? it's just sort of implied that when you fund a game, its going to have at least some sort of exclusivity.

[@lasmontanassonmivida9144]

That's fucking ridiculous about the Tomb Raider controversy. I played thru the "rape" scene, killed the dude, and forgot all about it. People these days are so quick to assume that rape culture is pervasive in every medium that exists, but that just wasn't the case with Tomb Raider.

[@neglesaks]

Las Montanas Son Mi Vida Bingo. Bad Guy gets rowdy, grabs ass, gets his brains blown out. >OMG RAAAAPE

[@insomniac-afk]

[@Derah_OG]

[@saddamhussein3849]

Shakduhn Yea I see it now. Apologies, do carry on. (:

[@ofearghailthefearless6481]

Derah you’re right, he’s not a journalist. He’s a pushover

[@nephildevil]

professional gaming journalism is totally corrupt, good thing we have youtube and twitch now

[@oddfreaks6452]

It’s been a long time. Joe is so skinny here.

[@supermario863]

In regards to Number #7, Platinum Games went to Microsoft and Sony but neither of them wanted to fund Bayonetta 2, and that's when Nintendo came in and funded the game, which means without Nintendo Bayonetta 2 would not even EXIST. That's reason enough for it to be an exclusive because SONY and Microsoft DIDN'T WANT THE SEQUEL ON THEIR CONSOLES

[@SasukeTheCursed]

honestly #10 is kind of rediculous. Clearly it was meant to indicate that he was going to rape her but it only makes sense if you think about it. There a band of raiders who have been stuck on an island without any women for years. On top of that they are mercenaries who aren't exactly known to be moral upstanding people. Laura is young and pretty to boot. I would find myself questioning the situation more if they weren't considering it. Like it or not the game accurately portrayed what would happen to a young girl in that situation.

When you started ripping apart other game "journalists", that's when I started thinking to myself, "This is exactly why I love Angry Joe. He doesn't sugar coat and he doesn't sell out." Keep it up.

[@TarnishedLifter]

Joe I love coming back to these videos and rewatching them, keep doing the great work you're doing now bro! -From a long time fan

[@Marscow]

After hearing Lara pronounced "Laura" five times, I wrote this comment and left.

[@angel-q]

You sir... are a genius god among pitiful beings... I shall stop being an atheist and worship you.

[@Marscow]

Yakza Shin Atheist is not a term with any meaning. It is a name given to people because they don't believe in something which isn't real. There is no term for people who don't believe in unicorns or fairies, yet there is for deities. All because the vast majority of our planet's population lives in a state of delusion. Therefore, to worship me would be to deny everything I teach. Put THAT in your pipe and smoke it. Amirite?

[@angel-q]

Marscow This is exactly why I worship you. I will spread the word of our lord and savior... MARSCOW

[@Marscow]

Yakza Shin Here at Apatheism, we understand that you have a choice of deities. We're glad you've chosen to waste your meaningless life worshipping at our imaginary feet. Your life of selfish dedication to an eternity of bliss will be its own reward. Thanks!

[@RaymondStormbl3ssed]

24:20 Honestly mass effect 3s ending seems like a drop in the bucket compared to the controversies that have occurred in this industry in the last 10+ years

[@D1ab0lical]

The Bayo2 exclusivity debate is a rather trivial one. When a new console comes out or a game comes out on a console you don't have like a Playstation or XBOX. You buy the console for the game without complaining. What difference does it make for Wii U? Franchises like Mega Man and Final Fantasy eventually switched from Nintendo to Sony. If you want to play Bayonetta 2 you will have to buy a Wii U.

[@nicholasg.5441]

That awkward moment when I realize almost everything on this list is relevant to some extent today.

[@soapscumchampion1498]

This was a really good video

[@jasonpatowsky6929]

I've never felt the need of game "journalists" before. If I'm interested in a game, I'd go to independent reviewers, websites or just watch a lets play.

[@messymy7603]

Never change Joe ur the only person I trust when it comes to game reviews. you don't care if the developers get mad or the fanboys you speak the truth. God bless you stay safe!

[@radam2786]

That was such a so cool special effect there! 9:09 And damn it Joe! I got hungry for Doritos now!

[@YaaSalty...0_o]

LOL I really like this format better than modern Angry Joe. But you always got to grow and evolve

[@tomdonovan30]

Number 7 is unfair. They had never planned on making a sequel to Bayonetta, until the developers were contacted by Nintendo, asking them to make a sequel for them, exclusively.

[@tomdonovan30]

***** Did you just ignore everything I just said? It's not at all a big F you to everyone else. There WASN'T going to be a sequel, period, until they asked them to make them one exclusively for the WiiU. Why would they want to release it on other consoles and just, feed the competition ammunition?

[@196andriod]

+Tom Donovan Still while the game wasn't that big it was still kind of a shot at some fans. While i didn't care for Bayonetta that much some fans loved it. Platinum games could of declined but decided a quick buck was more important. Once betrayed loyal fans aren't so loyal. I know i only buy sell out game companies games used.

[@kiya46107]

Then why make it just for the WiiU? Don't they still make games for the Wii?

[@tomdonovan30]

kiya46107 Because they're trying to sell WiiUs! They want people to buy them!

[@Kanzuki]

I wish Joe would do these Gaming Controversy videos again.

[@adampoole948]

You just know that Gamespot's reviewers are often paid to favor certain games over others.. thy'll never admit it and go out of their way to claim otherwise, but we all know it.. that's the reason Jeff Gerstmann was fired.. even though gamespot claimed he was dismissed for reasons that had nothing to do with his review of Kang and Lynch

[@MegamanNG]

It wasn't until years later that Jeff Gerstmann revealed that it was Square-Enix that threatened to pull ad money over the low review that Kane & Lunch had. That and new management fucked it up. It's how Jeff and many others left Gamespot to form Giant Bomb.

[@nope9233]

I know it's not a game but IGN is super biased when it comes to movies. They pointed out bull claims on Dungeon and Dragons 2. I can't go into detail cause of how annoying it is. Just watch Decker Shadow review of it if you want to flip out.

[@hidoikatsuragi]

GDI, ever since I started you Angry Review of GW2, I started using your review as reference. You're the man

[@OldSchoolDudeGaming]

If SEGA banned my account for using no footage, I'd seriously sue them.

[@anwmus]

I must give credit to where its due. AngryJoe is very well informed in terms of what's happening, and has a very good insight & critical perspective on these occurring issues in the gaming environment. I find it very interesting to watch his controversy videos & looking forward to see top 10s for this year's 2014

[@BlueEyedShyGuy]

How to resolve gamer-gate in four steps. 1. Recognize that both sides are talking about two different things. One side is concerned about gender inequality, the other about gaming ethics. Both are valid concerns that are not being heard because of terrible arguments and finger pointing. Discussion should be open and rational, not filled with childish name calling and tantrums. 2. Admit that gaming ethics should be inclusive of women in gaming. That means women are treated fairly/equally... not with a crutch because of their sex... and not with harshness because of their sex. This will produce mutual respect among male and female gamers and developers. Polarized anti-women and anti-male sentiments are ridiculous, as both are intricate and vital to the existence of games. Historically, men have contributed more, but women are interested and invested in contributing now and there is no reason why they shouldn't be able to. We need people with great ideas and discernment to weed out the garbage and increase our enjoyment as gamers. Yes, men and women are different, but in a wonderful way. Men tend to look for something to add to solve a problem, but women can find a way to reduce or conserve to solve a problem. Best example, Madeline Schroeder's contribution to Sonic. Everyone should have a fair shot and be judge on the content of their projects, not their gender/sex. 3. Acknowledge that ethical concerns can arise when intimacy is involved. No need to point at people, as that creates another conflict of ethics. Drawing attention to specific people can harm them. I think we should all just agree on this and say, maybe it's not a good idea to create any situation (sexual or not) where there is a conflict of interest. 4. Don't create problems where there weren't any. This is of the utmost importance. Don't over analyze a fraction of something and misrepresent the whole. This seems to be what keeps picking at a healing wound. Feminists are now looking for any inequality in games and inventing these massive inequalities when they aren't present, instead of addressing the real inequalities we do see; which for most people (men and women alike) aren't as terrible and offensive as feminists are proclaiming. Likewise, there are anti-feminists who continue to attack characters of individuals and are creating entire conspiracy theories to validate their offense. Neither side is helping nor contributing to resolving the problem. Just stop.

[@Alex_FRD]

You can tell by the look on Joe's face he's revolted by combining Doritos and Mountain Dew.

[@GuyN0ir]

How was Bayonetta 2 a controversy? Sega axed the franchise, and Nintendo picked up the bill for the game. It's fairly clear why it's only on Wii U. If it wasn't an exclusive, it wouldn't even be a thing in the first place.

[@spidergwenstarwars6504]

Exactly.

[@GuyN0ir]

***** no u

[@Madway]

It was a controversy because they didn't immediately say that Nintendo payed the bill for an otherwise cancelled game. Before it came out it was just "Okay, we're not releasing this on all platforms, just WIIU, thanks for your understanding". At least that's how I understand the controversy.

[@GuyN0ir]

Madway I agree it would be a "controversy" in that context, but by the time he made this video, it had already been cleared up.

[@Madway]

GuyN0ir Probably there weren't all that many gaming comtroversies in that year. I want him to make a list for the controversies in 2015, but I can only think of about 4, 2 being very weak.

[@grandnoodlelite]

Kind of ironic to see Joe criticizing geoff keighley for being surrounded by mountain dew and doritos since he has a gfuel sponsorship now. I get there was more to that segment than just dorito gate, but still feels like times have changed.

[@deflategate1297]

There’s a difference when your whole perception of the game is due to the sponsor angry joe is sponsoring the show so he can fund it and make videos

It's just all the same drama from this video lol it's crazy how years have passed and this shit show of a game industry is still trying to burn itself down Edit: not exactly the same but you get the gist, it's the same major companies doing the same shit just a different coat of paint

[@C_hoffmanni]

Uhg.....I really dislike Game Journalism. No one is happy with anything and everyone has the "I dislike your opinion so it is invalid" Mindset. Also some shady 'bribery' things and peoples biases don't make it any better. Yes I know we all have our biases, and it is very good if you state that you have one, but don't judge the entire game on your single gripe. An example is a review of GTA V. The reviewer stated he didn't like playing as the bad guy, which is fine, but if you rate the game on that one thing, then that causes flame wars and brawls. tl;dr: Game journalism shouldn't sway the ENTIRE industry.

[@tranz2deep]

A few years before they arrested the ARMA III developers, the Greek government tried banning all video games to stop online gambling. ..you read that correctly. Greek officials have no clue on how to even tell different types of games apart, so frankly the arrest only disappoints me.

[@thelazywanderer_jt]

Since I live in Greece, I'll fill you in on a contradiction, 8 years later. Not only have games blown up here, but it's online casinos with minigames and shit that lead the industry in terms of money. Enough to be seeing commercials of over 5 or 6 of these on TV on commercial breaks, especially if the program is sports related.

As much as I love and support Joe, I have a severe problem with number 7. What if you don't want a Wii U Joe? Then too bad, sit there and bitch about it instead of buying a great console with great games. People say the problem with Wii U is not enough new Exclusives, then once they announce they get one, everyone FREAKS OUT and whines and complains. Fucking hypocrites. No offence but that statement makes Joe sound like every other unintelligent fanboy out there.

[@dansan9858]

I have to remind you that not everybody can have 3506510651320 consoles. Why are we gamers forced to buy ALL FREAKING CONSOLES to enjoy the games we want? If you can have that many consoles then by all means enjoy them. But think about other people who are less fortunate than you.

[@chrisokeeffe3895]

***** So everyone who is less fortunate goes out and buys the 400 and 500 dollar console, but refuses to buy the cheaper 250-300 dollar console. Makes so much sense.

[@cheezburgerforcats]

***** I'm actually in the same camp as you Leon. I'm a 360 gamer, but I don't whine because the PS3 gets tons of great exclusives like the Last of Us or Journey. Instead, I accept that fact that it's part of the game industry. I don't own a Wii U, but I think it deserves some good exclusives just like every other console out there. If you think about it, Bayonetta 1 was exclusive to the 360 and PS3, not the Wii, so the tables have turned. Maybe it's a different audience, but I think it's silly to whine about.

Number 10 is a joke. I mean it is just Feminists doing what they do - complain about EVERYTHING. Demanding NOT equality but them wanting to be treated special. Ignoring all the points in life where they are treated WAY better then men. Number 9 is HILARIOUS. The person constantly entering a password without a username entered and wonders why he can't log in? lol Number 8 was SO obvious what it was going to happen. It was SHOCKING. Just a rip off with lazy design, money grabbing. Number 7 Disagree with this, So it was made an exclusive. The WiiU was always going to fail so they trying their best to get buyers. Number 6. Too many companies do this. It is just lazy money grabbing. Number 5. That is shocking :/ Number 4. That is just childish and sounds rather illegal. No idea what they were even thinking. Losing money doing that sort of thing. Number 3. That is just a complete a joke. More money grabbing by companies. This is why i pretty much ignore game reviews by certain sites because they are SO bias and paid off to give good reviews for terrible games. Number 2. Totally agree, this was shocking. Just sloppy and lazy. Number 1. That is just insane. Flagged as spies :/ Of all the issues Greece has and THIS is what they concentrate on O.o

[@ArmageddonAsh]

Spooks Ah, that makes a bit of sense then.

[@regalia8717]

Who knows. Maybe Bayonetta 2 will be rereleased on other consoles eventually like Mass Effect 2. And ITS AN EXCLUSIVE!!!! Its really stupid, but its an exclusive.

[@AshXXMayftw]

HiddenTalent77 That won't be happening unless Nintendo says so, and that's about as likely as having the next Zelda game on the PS4.

[@ArmageddonAsh]

Well, seeing how terrible the WiiU is doing and has been doing, i wouldn't rule that i out. I could really see Nintendo go the route of Saga and pull out of the console market. Maybe stay in the handheld market as not really enough on offer in that department anyway. The fact the WiiU was outsold in under a day having been on sale for over a year (in UK) really says it all about how well the WiiU has been doing. I dont really see anything that could change that

look at IGN i dont trust there reviews anymore because i think they sell out. they gave duke nukem a 6.5 even though it sucks and many of other games that dident deserve such high ratings. and for all the people who want to comment on this calling me out or insulting me this is MY opinion so idgaf what u think

[@joeylafrond2472]

I know what you are saying. They gave that piece of shit "Batman Arkham Origins Blackgate" a 7.4, while Myself and others would not have given it a THREE!!!

[@CulturalFiend]

Because 6.5 is a score people pay you to use.

[@KuronekoBonbon]

***** They even gave Rambo: The Video Game a 3... just what the hell did IGN was thinking...

Can someone explain the 38 studios thing to me? I didn't really understand :/

[@mugeninfinite500]

The founder of 38 studios borrowed 75 million $ from Rhode Island Economic loaner thing. 38 studious created Kingdom of Amalur: Reckoning (their only game). However their sales didn't meet their expectations so they got bankrupted. Many employees lost their jobs and some weren't paid. CEO's resigned. Rhode Island didn't get their money. Now, Rhode Island and 38 studious are in a court battle because of this situation. Something like that.

[@MMCLLC7]

[@ANimouz]

Arma 3 developers were completely out of their fucking minds for going into a island that has like a shitton of military bases, that is RIGHT ON THE BORDER with Turkey and Greece. Two nations that were about to engage in war 3 times in the last 20 years. The even stupider thing they though is creating a realistic MILITARY SIMULATION OF THE INVASION OF THE ISLAND. Now just hold of for a damn minute and think of this. Creating a game like this, on a place like this on a country that has REAL issues with their neighbours. If anything, they got off easy. They were forced to completely remodel the map, alter the story and change many names. Only and only then they were free to actually leave their prisons. The fact that the Chech Republic didn't go too serious with the whole ordeal was because they knew that the developers had fucked up on a whole other level, and if they took a side it would like going against Greece and pro-Turkey. Lesson of the story? Don't make a realistic combat simulation with location that are a spot on match with the real world on a place that is on a real "hot spot".

[@TheCheeseandgravy]

You mean the bases they can get of google maps for fuck sake

[@TheCheeseandgravy]

Or a sattelite?

[@ANimouz]

You have 0 understanding over actual military warfare so please. Trust me when I say this, most staff that have actual value on a military base are impossible to be captured by google maps or a satellite. Not to mention that almost every single military camp in Greece and all countries is locked in google maps. Meaning.. that when you are about to get close to the road that leads to the base, the location is locked. Also the photographs is the least of the problems.

[@animefancss]

Tomb Raider: I think some people overreacting. The arrest in Greece: Greece's army is modeled after USA's and just like in USA and the rest of the world it's illegal to photograph army (vehicles, personnel, buildings and even its ground). Whoever do it, without special permission is automatically charged of espionage. Greeks had to arrest them even for the eyes of media (they let them go after a while) or else they would have to answer to others. For example, some army bases (and technologies) there are USA's, and they don't want to disappoint such strong allies.

[@alvinderama3196]

even now, I still can't believe the Doritos and Mountain Dew incident really happened. It feels like you can only this kind of things on movies.

[@EdgarciArts2980]

I'm not regretting my Wii U purchase for Bayonetta 2 in the slightest. At first, I was angry about Bayo being an exclusive, but I liked the original too much. I'm loving the game, and I've also got Smash Bros to look forward to. Let's just hope Bayonetta will be introduced as DLC!

[@AzurePerpure]

If you're talking about the original game, it's up on the Eshop now for 30 U.S dollars.

[@thedutchgulcher4750]

No one mentioned here that Bayonetta was introduced as a DLC in Smash Bros.

[@RobATron64]

The whole Bayonetta 2 thing isn't the first time this has happened. Go back to the 90's when the Final Fantasy series up to the 5th Generation was Nintendo exclusive. Then the 5th gen came around and the next FF game FFVII jumped ship to the Playstation. Mind you they had good reasons, the whole disc format and all, as did Bayonetta 2 with the development costs.

[@RobATron64]

***** The reasons maybe different, but the idea is Final Fantasy fans in the 90's were gaming on Nintendo hardware, but all of the sudden the series jumped ship to different hardware. I know the differences between the two reasons, I mentioned them in my first comment, I'm just saying that if you were a Nintendo fan in the 90s and loved Final Fantasy, well if you want to play the next game in the series, you had to buy a Playstation, same with Bayonetta fans, want to play 2, you have to buy a Wii U.

[@RobATron64]

***** I wouldn't say it was selfish since if Nintendo didn't pay to publish Bayonetta 2, it wouldn't even EXIST. So it did create a better experience since without that money, there would be NO game at all. Also you keep missing my point, I KNOW why FFVII went to Playstation, you don't have to keep explaining that. My point was not about the experience, it was about the idea that the original fan base for these games had to buy new hardware to play these games and I'm sure some were bummed out about it.

[@RobATron64]

Action Cat Psycho Except that Nintendo was the only one willing to pay for development costs since the original Bayonetta was considered by Sega a financial failure and since Sega isn't exactly on top in the financial world at the moment, they weren't going to pay the costs for another potential failure. It was either have Bayonetta 2 be a Wii U exclusive or nothing at all. Contrary to popular belief , gaming is a business, you NEED money to make your idea a reality and you have to make sacrfices. With FFVII, why wasn't it also on Sega Saturn since the Saturn is equal if not more powerful than Playstation, because Square knew it probably wouldn't have made any money and they need money to make more games. I'm sure there are plenty of people on XBox and Playstation who were huge Bayonetta fans and yes I feel bad for them if they're not planning on getting Wii U, but all I can say to them is, it is what it is. It's not being greedy, the fact is you need money to fund projects, no money, no game, because nobody wants to work for free. So it was done for the right reasons my friend, because what would you rather have, Bayonetta 2 on Wii U only, or just another dead franchise left behind after only it's first title?

[@GamaScythe]

Perfect Dark may not have been a sequel per say, but was still counsel swapped for the next game. For those of us unwilling to support Microsoft's X-fuck me in the ass, Perfect Dark Zero was out of reach. (Though in retrospect that may have been good for me.)

[@RobATron64]

GamaScythe That was because Microsoft bought Rare and ruined them. Nowadays what are they making, Kinect Sports games. Ugh. Makes me wish Nintendo would buy back some of Rare's franchises like Banjo-Kazooie, Perfect Dark and Conker.

[@2shadowgamer2]

I do not agree with number 7. People complain that Nintendo has bad 3rd party support and now they get Bayonetta and people complain? No one complains when Xbox or PlayStation has exclusive games.

[@TheKaelisOnline]

And maybe Bayoneta wasn't a commerical hit, and only Nintendo put the money on the table to edit a second game.

[@PelegTsadok]

It's not the same. Bayoneta had a game before that, and suddenly they chose to release it only for the Wii U. Imagine Activision will suddenly decide to release the next CoD game only for ONE console. It stupid and not nice of the company.

[@TheKaelisOnline]

Did they chose? Or did MS and Sony refuse to invest into a second game? Games don't grow on trees, they are ordered by editors to make money. Those complains are mostly MS/Sony fanboys console wars bullsh*t

[@Raziel2404]

Let's complain about MS for a few seconds... MS buying Rareware was f-ed up, since Perfect Dark and Perfect Dark Zero was exclusive for XBLA and XBox 360, respectively, AND that the games that they produced for NINTENDO were far more better than those that were being made. And their D-Pad on their controller sucks ass. And Sony... Sony has Tekken which is predominantly exclusive to Sony and its products. I like Tekken... And it sucks to see it mainly only on PS.

[@dmas7749]

[@mattwonders5566]

[@LeonAndMandar]

Why can't the Wii U have exclusives? Nobody bitches about Uncharted being exclusive, or Halo.

[@RastafarianPilgrim]

Normally I think exclusives are kinda bullshit, because there's no real reason (beyond exclusivity marketing and porting) that a game shouldn't be on both PS and xbox and preferably PC too, but for Wii U (and Wii) it actually would make sense for some games to be exclusive - like, how are you gonna play ZombiU on PC without it feeling really amputated?

[@nimmni522]

It can, just not of a game where the first one wasn't an exclusive.

[@RastafarianPilgrim]

Well, if they make a game that wouldn't work without the Wii U's secondary monitor, then I can see the point for the exclusivity. Otherwise, you're right, which is my point. That said, and as Joe explained, there probably wouldn't be a sequel if it weren't for that exclusive, so it's a catch-22.

[@4tCa4mzUPqRZZo]

what do you mean Wii U have some of the best exclusive and well know games.
