If you have a spare cell phone that you don't need anymore and want to just give away, don't be weird and send it to a video game personality. Give it to like a local battered women's or homeless shelter they are always looking for those things.

Can I play it without having played the prior XIII games?
My brother did and no complaints. It's mostly a fun combat system.
Looks like a great PC version.
But how else would they bug the office and get the inside scoop on review scores?
Well, you'll have to do a lot of work to understand the Lightning character.
For example...
Okay, well, you're caught up on Lightning's character. Have fun.
There are fake Neo Geo cabinets in that movie lobby! Okay that sold me on Overwatch. I was already pretty excited for it based on my interests in games, but that put me over the edge. Can't wait to play it.
I know a bunch of people have touched on this but I was in your exact situation, where I was considering getting the HD collection, or at least play 1 and 4 before 5 came out. Then Metal Gear Scanlon popped up as a feature, and it was absolutely perfect. The thing holding me back from that series was the needlessly complex controls, so getting to experience it all without the frustration was perfect.
It's not blue collar to own a flashy car.
i went and listened to it and man that was dumb.
I might just watch it then, specially since the story is the part I'm most interested about.
I might play MGS5 if I finish the series then.
Kotaku does loads of cool work but I admit I'm not a fan of them leaking game announcements before hand. I don't really see the value in that.
The exposes they do on the other hand are top notch.

Just Cause 3 looks like a good Just Cause game but it'll have to wait. I can't jump into another open world thing this year.

I'm just wondering when publishers will just cut out all game sites and use youtubers for advertising instead.

Kotaku truly are the press sneak fucks.
I bet that those leaks bring them a whole lot of traffic.
I think the funnier thing from this mailbag was the person sending them all those 360 games. As if GB doesn't already have access to them
Won't happen for a long time. But it's telling that Jeff said on his latest Jar Time that many companies have the PR department handle contact with game sites while marketing handles contact with youtubers.
Yeah that was kinda weird. I mean I guess it's a halfway decent mailbag goof.

The Kotaku blacklist thread was a huge eye opener for me. I thought I was pretty good at anticipating the reaction to a thread on Gaf. Fuck.
Brad has lived in Northern California for over a decade. He's already a demon.
I had to close the thread because I just couldn't take it anymore. There are legitimately people in there who say journalists have to seek permission from publishers every time they publish a story.

The dumbest posts are the ones asking if they are so concerned with journalism why are they complaining about being blacklisted?
Reporting on the existence of publisher blacklists is journalism!

I always find it a bit odd when people call the Bay Area "Northern California". I know it's very common to do so, but as someone from actual Northern California the Bay Area might as well be another state entirely.
Norcal/Socal is odd to me. Norcal is something like 50 counties and Socal is around 10.

Jeff: "For something that has not a lot to it, they sure do make this thing slow as fuck."
Dan: "It's the Nintendo way."
Brad: "Have you played a Nintendo game in the last ten years?"
Jeff: "I mean, yeah, I know, I know, but this just seems like a special brand of fucking glacially paced easy-going action."
This animal crossing thing is torture for them. But it's been pretty funny so far.

Yeah, I didn't watch any of that shit past the first episode. Most of the entertainment value out of MGScanlon was Drew's reaction to the cutscenes and story, which there was plenty of in past games. MGSV is just a nothing game.

I kind of expect most GAF threads on games journalism to spin out of control but the Kotaku thread is the one thread where I wouldn't have expected to see that.

Yeah that thread's a PR manager's dream. Let the two most hated outlets reveal they've been blacklisted and the "Fuck Gawker/Polygon" sentiment has run roughshod over any concern over the games industry's practices. Wonder how Patrick feels reading that thread.
It's a disgusting display.
People backing big corporations over petty bullshit and not understanding how journalism works.
That post may sound good, but it's so detached from reality. Don't really get why some people have this super distinguished view of what "real journalism" is. Even with leaks from unannounced games a lot of the time devs want that information to get out there. NDAs are great and all, but to punish people for leaking is some of the most petty shit ive ever seen. Guess what, having a bunch of people work on a project over a longer period of time means that at some point some information probably will make its way out there.
I should probably clarify I meant the first part of the post, sorry.
I made a single post and had to bail. Some people really do want this industry gift wrapped and handed over to major publishers. And the not responding to comment shit? Give me a fucking break, how petty.
Gawker is a big corporation. They should be able to cope if a company decides not to work with them when they leak information about a new game.

If you don't want to talk about that topic why are you all talking about that topic?

Sorry. I saw it mentioned. I should have kept it out of here.

Hey I ain't the thread police, it just seems like if people want to talk about that there's a whole thread dedicated to it.
And they are coping? I don't see your point. Like I said int he other thread the Streisand effect will do the rest for the image of these publishers. Publishers think denying access is like this horrible thing no one will recover from while actually it has the opposite effect.
