that only makes money by making stupid patents and trying to sue MS.

dantesparda6361d ago (Edited 6361d ago )

is the fact that I bet if this had been Sony it was sueing, you'd be all excited and talking sh!t, so shut it and stop acting like a down little b!tch because its your beloved Ms that is being sued. All companies either sue each other or pay up when they realize their patents are being used. So suck it up kiddies. MS will be fine

power of Green 6362d ago

This sad fan fucc keeps posting this garbage out of spite to bash the 360 yet he never posts news that doesn't make Sony look like god. You are a dragon card trading Sony fan troll.

dantesparda6361d ago

And so aint you, so whats up partner? Im responding back to one of your posts, and your sad little pathetic ass told me to never do that again. What i'd like to know is, "or else what"? Was you threatening me? How bout this for a change. Dont you ever respond to one of my posts again, alright partner. Now go of and play with your little video game system like a good little boy, ok kid. Peace, sucker

Tempo6362d ago

Little tommy tucker kigboy just found his white bread and butter for the day. I tell ya f-ing pathetic [shakes head]

EnforcerOfTheTruth6362d ago (Edited 6362d ago )

Funny that you were always happy when there were some lawsuits against Sony and you always hoped Sony will lose, it's Sony's fault bla, bla, bla.
When some company does it with MS, it's a bullshit company then hahah fanboys in denial haha why are you so mad? Don't you want to get news? Or I know, you just want to read good news haha you are just pure comedy

ElementX6362d ago

"Haha" is getting so lame. It's just a stupid fanboyism, like a loser who's the only one who laughs at his own jokes.

FordGTGuy6362d ago

Microsoft were smart about it and paid the money and bought the company while Sony took them to court and loss even more money then they were told to pay in the first place. Microsoft didn't take the company to court because the patent wasn't BS. Now this company however is a BS company and has been proven one over time since 2003 and beyond. Please go hide in the everyone except me is a fanboy hole before you get caught in the wrong thread of the wrong news post.

Asuka6362d ago

you seem to forget that not every company has money like M$ does.

But i completely agree with you, sony went about the whole rumble thing the wrong way.

Daewoodrow6361d ago (Edited 6361d ago )

I don't recall anybody jumping around when Sony got sued. Alot of people laughed when Sony pretended they got rid of rumble on purpose though. Because that was funny.
This is in fact a bullsh*t company.

"Method And Apparatus for Facilitating Peer-to-Peer Application Communication"

Sounds like Limewire, Kazaa, morpheus, Bittorrent. Come to think about it. It sounds like the fu*king internet.

"Deterministic User Authentication Service for Communication Network"

Sounds like a telephone number. And an e-mail address. Your Sky satellite pin number.

"Method And Apparatus For Concurrently Encoding And Tagging Digital Information For Allowing Non-Sequential Access During Playback"

You have got to be kidding me. Any video file you can download with a fastfoward, rewind or progress slider option falls under this category.

"Method Of Setting Up Data Communication With A Communication Means And Furthermore Program Modules And Means Therefor"

Give me a few days while I translate this into English.

I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now

Furesis11h ago

I would say it does. The combat is a bit shit for todays standards but everything else is great.

anast10h ago

It's worth a play through today.

Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.

darthv721d 6h ago

Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.

People are stupid I get it. No one should feel unsafe,

But I think they need to talk about why they cut so many corners during the development process and why none of their games ever look current. And why they think all of this is okay while they charge full price.

LucasRuinedChildhood1d 7h ago

As much as Bethesda deserve criticism, that's not really relevant to the reveal of Fallout 3 in 2007.

VenomUK1d 4h ago

The default angle Kotaku always go for is to highlight the worst in gaming.

I would’ve focused on the creative.

anast10h ago

The game went downhill at Fallout 3's release. This is when they started to cut corners.

gold_drake1d 3h ago

there is no "but". the hell lol
you dont send death threats, period.

anast10h ago

Usually, you have good comments but this isn't one of them. It just rides the mob. We can do both condemn the actions and not let them use it for other things.

I can say I received a death threat and everyone needs to shut up. People are not honest and will use horrible things to their advantage.

Armaggedon22h ago

Not all games “look” current.

anast10h ago

Their games always look like the gen before it.

Armaggedon58m ago

Yeah, but thats not the result of laziness, incompetence, or a bad engine. Thats what happens with their type of open world games. Its hard for people to find a point of comparison because no one makes games like Bethesda does.

gold_drake3h ago

mh ok thanks, i still think ur wrong in this mate.

anast2h ago

No problem. I'm not here to convince you. I'm only stating an actuality. What your words do if we look at them like events.
