I've been ill recently so have been away from the forums for a couple of weeks, but no I've honestly not seen hype over The Order. As for my biases, I readily admit them, and yes I'd put Microsoft as my least favourite of the big three, but I don't especially hate them, they simply focus on genres and styles I have little interest in. As for my comments on M$ and their underhanded tactics... that's because they're a multinatipnal company, and I don't trust them as far as I can comfortably spit them. They're all out to make money and if anti-consumer tactics will work they will use them, M$ has been especially guilty of this as of late; but I'm not so naive as to think Sony or Nintendo won't do the same as soon as they think they can get away with it. One of my favourite consoles is actually the original Xbox, which I still use to this day as my primary DVD player. Only a fool emotionally connects with a company, we are but numbers to them.

no no, apparently "no one has ever played it" and those that did and heaped praise upon it only did so because of a "massive fuck-off bribe" MS gave them. |
Honestly tell me you don't think at least some of the critics giving out awards hadn't been bought out by M$, go on... and try to make it sound like you believe it. We're in a time where reviewers from the likes of IGN, GameSpot, Kotaku etc. may as well have the big name publishers logos tattooed on the foreheads. Microsoft got exposure because it paid for exposure. That's how it works. Sure, one or two of them may have genuinely meant it, but money speaks louder than integrity in this industry sadly.
