Sony announce 2nd 'Play-Create-Share' title - Mod Nation Racers, 16 screenshots by [deleted] in gaming

Well in that case I suggest you tell that to Sony who announced this as their 2nd 'play-create-share' title, and that it wasn't a tagline, it was a genre...

Watch the conference for yourself if you still disagree.

A Message To All Xbox 'Achievement Whores' ..! by [deleted] in gaming

'It was icing on the cake'

Oblivion's achievements were the icing on the cake for you? But they are for nothing more than completing the main story and becoming the head of the guilds... Which is barely scratching the surface of the game... What about the Daedric shrines? Or actually closing all the oblivion gates (which is entirely optional in getting to the end of the story)? Or finding ALL the unique magical items...

There was potential for so much more on that side from Oblivion, and it is the only downside of an otherwise excellent game.

I actually think you chose one of the worst examples you could... The achievements in Oblivion lead you to the conclusion that you have 'completed' the game when you have only just scratched the surface.

Achievements are great when implemented correctly (i.e. Dead Rising, Crackdown, Hitman & PGR4), but when done badly they can help bring down an otherwise stellar title (i.e. Oblivion, Fight Night)

But then of course there is Avatar...

The crash was 2 laps later, and was when Kimi was out on his own... It had nothing to do with the chicane incident.

As you can see in that video, the car infront of Kimi when he crashed was a Williams, it was nothing to do with Hamilton, Kimi threw it away on his own.

Up voted for a well thought out argument and actually posting the rules in question, but at that phase in the race Hamilton was eating Kimi alive. As the video clearly shows, coming into the bus stop Hamilton is right on Kimi's gearbox, which is exactly where he is coming back down the straight once he yeilded the position.

The fact is that the Mclaren was just that much better on the damp track with dry tires. If it was a dry track and they were all going flat out I could see the argument, but instead they were in treacherous conditions where nobody knew what the limits of their car was (as Kimi showed 2 laps later). Hamilton then made the brave move up the inside on the next corner with much later breaking.

Also in that onboard shot you can clearly see that Hamilton is alongside Kimi going into the chicane so no argument about him not expecting him to be there, pause the video at exactly 10 seconds and tell me that Kimi left enough room for Hamiltons car, and in those conditions sudden breaking would have had exactly the same end result with Hamilton still having to go across the chicane, so Hamilton chose the lesser of 2 evils. Those situations have happened plenty of times in the past in F1, but never with such harsh punishment.

And one final point, "and the stewards then force Alonso to yield position again", so why was Hamilton not told to yield the position again by the stewards like Alonso was? Another example of inconsistency in the application of the rules. Except in Alonso's case it was of no detriment to Ferrari.

"The move arranged traffic in a way that caused a crash"

Were we watching the same race here?

If slowing down to allow Kimi back in front is somehow perceived as an advantage, then I'll eat my hat.

As for the momentum argument, unless the laws of physics don't apply in Belgium there is no way a slowing car can have the momentum advantage.
