I don't think they try to speedrun the first time they play. They probably play it slower than the majority of the people even.

I think the internet pretty much killed quality game journalism.
Well, i wonder then when internet game journalism will... Actually, not worth finishing the sentence, it won't get better.
Wait, this is a thing? When did this become a thing?

Edge magazine. They have been quality for a number of great years.
What is the gaming journalism like in Finland, Emp?
Well, there's no real reason they're not in it but neither is there any proof they are included in the LE.
So, until i get proof, i'm going to assume they're not.
I just read today that Edge is not as good as it used to be. *shrug* Don't read magazines really though, because they cost too much. Buy them ometimes when i need something read while traveling. EDIT Edge... i guess it is okay but for some reason i never bother reading it actually. I don't read reviews in general nowadays, i know what i like and that's all i need.
EDIT as for the Finnish game journalism... Pelit ("Games") is pretty good but i feel like its quality has dropped as well. Stopped ordering it long ago, i got all the news far faster from the internet and Pelit never had any exclusive reveals etc.
EDIT then there are others like Pelaaja ("Gamer") but those are not good, always writing about month old news. At least they used to be such.
EDIT Oh yeah, and then there's MikroBitti, it used to have good game reviews etc but then it became a technology magazine instead of computer and gaming one.
Never really liked Edge personally. In articles do they still refer to themselves in the third person and have the name "Edge" in bold type wherever they mention themselves?

Since supposedly the two helmets come with the season pass. And the LE has a code for the season pass. It would be logical to assume that the helmets would also be in the LE.
There was kind of a similar situation with Reach and the Elite Officer armour IIRC - it was initially advertised for the Limited Edition but not as part of the Legendary Edition, then Bungie clarified that the Legendary Edition would include everything from the Limited Edition in addition to the Legendary bonuses.
I agree that it would be logical to assume the Helmets would be included in the LE.
Oh man, so pumped for Eurogamer, finally get to meet my super best friend Frankie (he is not aware of this relationship).
I have a pass for the four days and hadn't planned on getting there until Thursday afternoon. Looks like I'll be driving down through the night to be first in line.

So, waiting for 343i clarification on this.
EDIT the Elite armor was pretty lame really, it wasn't the best looking one and one never got to play as an Elite anyway unless customs or Invasion...
EDIT
That's how i feel.

When did this become a thing?!
God damn it 343i do a press release or something. We need to be hearing this shit from you, not some retailer who doesn't know what the fuck is up. Please. I'm tired of getting information from third parties.
Tried to go full screen and got some Silverlight pop-up. Closed that, and now none of the buttons work. How do I fix this?

It is not known if they still refer to themselves in third person, however, EDGE is still a great magazine.
75 for Lylat wars and the rumble pak, worth it.
Calum was the middle man in this exchange.

I haven't been following the exclusive content thing too closely, so I mistakenly thought that it was the armor skin (eww, that sounds kinda gross) that was tied to the LE, not the skin AND the armor.

Me too, actually.
The same deal as with Reach really, the Legendary edition in Reach got the Flames armor effect.
Here, the exclusive is the Recruit armor for the LE and the FOTUS for the LE Console.
EDIT can somene quickly ask confirmation for the armors via Twitter or the like?
first time i read something from EDGE, they compared H4 to ridley scott's "Prometheus".
need more time to get over that...
Huge marketing budget, but can barely put out proper press releases.
These releases through media outlets could damage the game. Why do they continue to not release the details themselves? Are these agreements they committed to? If they have sworn to let IGN (or whomever) release details about stuff, prepare the blast for them so it is at least correct.

PD mention of the week #243
This fills me with true rage.
Such greats as "The game has doors" and is "too confusing"
sometimes written by the same guys that wrote the reviews for IGN64 that praised the game originally'
It's not too surprising these days, more and more of these outlets are hiring people who write / podcast first and play games second. They should understand why ironsights don't work in every single video game, they probably don't even know the gameplay implications of them, don't understand where they even came from (probably think CoD invented them), and think every FPS ever should work like a military sim shooter.

IGN is made of the dreggs that couldn't work for gameinformer or kotaku.

Do we have an exact date for the beginning of Forward Unto Dawn yet, or is it still vaguely sometime in October?

Kotaku is just as bad and GI is approaching that level. Most of the guys that made GI great years ago are gone.

Halo 4: 7/10, "archaic game design that doesn't allow you to aim down the sights"
I smolder with generic rage
I think you'd go insane where I live. In the wise words of one of my friends,
"Halo should have iron sights".
That statement has been said many times.
I don't even want to think about it ;_;

Fun story.
When I was 13, I had a writing essay to do. So I decided to do it on perfect dark, it turned into a review of some sorts.
Best bit was, I put in the line "fucking murders goldeneye".
I still don't know to this day, why I didn't get into trouble for that, although she a nice (but weak) teacher.
