This joke works a bit better on a PC, with Flash, I’m afraid.

      AND they dont even have any launchday excusives. Fuck this shit Im gonna stick to my current gen iPad.

        Sure they do. Microsoft Flight Simulator 1.0 for example.

        (okay, not actually launch day, but relatively close)

        Minesweeper? Free Cell?

        Why’d they stop bundling a Pinball game with Windows?

          The pinball game was lost in transition to 64 bits. Here is the story.

          link to blogs.msdn.com

          The 64-bit version of Pinball had a pretty nasty bug where the ball would simply pass through other objects like a ghost. In particular, when you started the game, the ball would be delivered to the launcher, and then it would slowly fall towards the bottom of the screen, through the plunger, and out the bottom of the table.

          Games tended to be really short.

          Two of us tried to debug the program to figure out what was going on, but given that this was code written several years earlier by an outside company, and that nobody at Microsoft ever understood how the code worked (much less still understood it), and that most of the code was completely uncommented, we simply couldn’t figure out why the collision detector was not working. Heck, we couldn’t even find the collision detector!

          • 13/11/2013 at 23:06 LionsPhil says:

            What I don’t get is why they would have to do that, given Pinball was a 32-bit executable, and those still run under 64-bit Windows (even the unloved XP 64). You can copy it off an XP box and have it run under 7, although in my experience the performance was dreadful for some reason, which I would more readily point a finger toward the new DWM/Aero/etc. stuff than the WoW64 layer. :/

            Edit: Oh, there was a first comment on that, it just needed JavaScript to show because…reasons.

        • 13/11/2013 at 23:03 LionsPhil says:

          I believe Windows 1 only shipped with Reversi.

          And that’s not really the launch of the PC. DOS, man.

        • 14/11/2013 at 12:53 drewski says:

          There’s a reasonable MS pinball game in the Windows 8 app store, although only the first table is free.

          Not really worth using Windows 8 for, mind.

        • 14/11/2013 at 13:00 Malcolm says:

          It’s back admittedly as a free download rather than as being bundled, but still.

      Not so impressive if it is being graded on a 100 point scale.

      • 13/11/2013 at 22:04 Horg says:

        Nonsense, everyone knows PCs go up to 11. Still, 10.5 is room for improvement. Probably needs more cowbell or something…..

        Don’t forget it also has over 10 graphics, which means it will always be able to render any decimal graphics. And it’s always backwards-compatible with binary.

        Oi, my 2008 rig has 2GB DDR5 (in graphics, but still), so machine of 2013 should have at least DD7s, if it wanted to get perfect 140%

      • 13/11/2013 at 17:09 zachforrest says:

        you do know it’s not about RAMs anymore? It’s about the thickness of the electrotunnels between them.

      2013: The Year People Scrolled Through Ads To Get To Ads

  10. 13/11/2013 at 16:39 Jesus_Phish says:

    The lads over at Videogamer also made a video making fun of Polygon for their review. I’m sure on both parties (VG and RPS) it’s all in good fun.

    Funny though that two websites that look very similar and use a blog-roll approach to their content are making fun of one of the few websites pushing forward and presenting themselves in a new way.

    *EDIT*

    Obviously I wasn’t clear. I don’t think Polygon is at all a great site, their content or their layout. But they certainly don’t skimp when it comes to presentation. That’s all I was trying to say and I think people are trying to read into my words a bit too much.

    • 13/11/2013 at 17:06 grechzoo says:

      New way?

      Okay their site is pretty i guess…thats it…its pretty, sums up polygon as a whole. its bland, the same old blandness of every other mainstream review site.

      there is nothing edgy, nothing interesting and nothing new in any of their words. they just have the same old journalists writing about games in the same old way on a pretty looking new website.

      people SHOULD be pointing it out. this review just proves everything i said above. How do you give a score to a piece of hardware that isn’t even out yet, consoles are by their very nature successful after they get an audience and a back catalogue. they are nothing without those two, and they are reviewing it when it has neither.

      I dont mind a write-up on a console specs and features, but a scored review is just pathetic and sums up polygon as a whole.

      • 13/11/2013 at 17:35 klmx says:

        I use Polygon for my day-to-day gaming news because of just that, it’s pretty and bland. Never a fan of their reviews, no (*cough*SimCity*cough*), but you have to give it to them, the long feature articles are outstanding

        And yeah RPS is “old-style” compared to those features and stuff like that. Their sister site, The Verge, pretty much revolutionized the whole “I LUV GADGETS” scene with their feature articles and such. It’s just something else compared to a simple blog such as this one (and don’t get me wrong I love RPS for it’s silly ways)

        • 14/11/2013 at 03:28 rockman29 says:

          Polygon has frequently, and specifically Arthur Gies, have been using their “journalistic titles” to harass Sony in favour of the Xbox brand.

          The amount of BS Agies has spouted about the Sony branded systems, even the PS4 as earlier as the beginning of this year with FUD comments about the performance relative to the new Xbox… and the contempt he has shown for his own colleagues on many occasions, or the fact that Polygon accepted a $750,000 grant from Microsoft…

          They are blatantly biased and put little effort into hiding it, against Sony and their products. Their 5/10 review, a score reserved for next to utterly broken games, was given to Killzone Shadowfall for the sake of hits.

          They are an embarrassment to the gaming community, despite their other programming that isn’t related to them actively trying to disparage the Sony and PlayStation brands in favour of Xbox.

        • 14/11/2013 at 11:18 Tams80 says:

          I can’t stand any Vox publications. The Polygon is bland and boring; I much prefer Kotaku (though Eurogamer and of obviously RPS are on my reading list). The Verge I absolutely can’t stand. I find the reviewers obnoxious and far too often ignorant (the worst was their Nokia 808 PureView review; an absolute joke).

          Both are unnecessarily bloated design wise. Yes, I do use Opera (Presto), but even with more popular browsers their sites are slow.

    • 13/11/2013 at 17:07 demicanadian says:

      “One big fullscreen image/animation above pinterest style (I think it’s pinterest style) post in not new way. It’s been haunting desing for some time now.

    • 13/11/2013 at 17:11 cqdemal says:

      “Presenting themselves in a new way” doesn’t mean anything when a large amount of the content being served up is so dry and lifeless. Polygon’s feature articles are outstanding, but the day-to-day site content is so dry that I usually just read the news from other sites.

      Also, and this is going deeper into the personal opinion territory, I think quite a number Polygon reviews are intentionally scored too high or too low to generate clicks. Just a feeling. I do like it when they try to use the full 10-point scale, but sometimes it just feels like pandering.

      • 13/11/2013 at 17:26 I Got Pineapples says:

        I thought it was just me thinking that. I don’t usually buy into that sort of conspiracy theory but that is seriously the vibe I’ve been getting off Polygon for a while now and it’s gotten consistent enough that your sort of can anticipate when they’re going to do it. It feels like in particular they tend to give lower marks to fringier games that are highly anticipated by their particular niche.

        • 13/11/2013 at 17:39 Grygus says:

          We could test this feeling. Are you predicting low scores for Grim Dawn and Star Citizen, for example?

          • 13/11/2013 at 17:47 I Got Pineapples says:

            Star Citizen, no. Because that won’t be a review of the game itself so much as a review of the game being community funded.

            Grim Dawn…maybe. Actually, yeah. I’m gonna go with lower for that, depending if they give path of exile a good review or not.

        • 14/11/2013 at 03:30 rockman29 says:

          Polygon has actively been doing this for awhile, particularly on scoring Sony platform titles low.

          The explanation for a 5/10 score on a high profile game from Sony in KZ Shadowfall? Clicks and attention to their site.

          • 14/11/2013 at 04:40 cqdemal says:

            Especially the 7.5/10 score handed to The Last of Us. High enough to maintain credibility, low enough to stand out from the 9.5s and 10s (which, in my view, the game thoroughly deserves).

          • 14/11/2013 at 05:22 I Got Pineapples says:

            I can see not giving every AAA game a 9 or whatever, but that Last of Us review and score was a genuinely odd thing. If there actually was a AAA game that deserved it’s initial rush of hype, it was Last of Us,

      • 13/11/2013 at 17:49 Jesus_Phish says:

        I can’t remember where it was, but on youtube somewhere there’s a video of a presentation that the Rev 3 guys gave where they explain how you review a game without having played it and how different sites will react to different games. They too joked about how if you’re writing for Polygon you take the average score and subtract or add 2.5 to it just to be different.

      • 13/11/2013 at 17:51 SkittleDiddler says:

        I can certainly appreciate Polygon’s willingness to update their per-game reviews to reflect ongoing changes in development (something that’s sorely missing from games journalism), but the majority of their content is extremely shallow — you can pretty much count on what it’s going to consist of before you even click the link. Typical industry sycophantism.

        I really can’t stand the design of their website either.

        EDIT: Wow, I just went back to Polygon and read that “review” of the PS4. Not counting the tacked-on score at the end, the entire piece looks and feels like a giant press release. I hope the money Polygon got from Sony goes to something worthwhile. Maybe they can buy off their independence or something.

    • 13/11/2013 at 17:41 Gap Gen says:

      Link?

    • 13/11/2013 at 18:03 Jason Moyer says:

      Polygon could be written by Ernest Hemmingway and Douglas Adams and I couldn’t be arsed to read the thing because the layout is so completely non-functional. There’s a reason the mostly text article summary–>click to expand article format is so widely used and it’s because it works.

      Polygon is the Macintosh of gaming websites. Congratulations on finding a use for your graphic design degree, but what is your function exactly.

      • 14/11/2013 at 00:27 Geebs says:

        Hey! Us mac users hated polygon’s design before hating it was cool. Because we have taste.

    • 14/11/2013 at 19:50 Axess Denyd says:

    Polygon has some good people working for it, yet the final product is far too up its own arse to be taken seriously. I’m not sure there’s a single website that presents games properly, but the fashionista approach is the furthest from the truth and the least representative of the audience. Might be time to reread Crecente’s tour of his home for a good laugh.

    Sim City 2013 (1 day later): 4.5 Ummm maybe something something is wrong.

      That sounds terrible, but then I realize this is exactly how I think about games myself. If you asked me on launch day how Rome II was, I would have gushed about all the things that are good about it. If you ask me today, I’d tell you to wait for a deep discount and more patches, and most of our talk would be about the things that are wrong with it. Now obviously I’m not a journalist and nobody wants reviewers to write like I think, but my point is that maybe it’s not a bad thing that a site realizes that, over time, how good a game is CAN change.

        Which is why the race to get the first review out is so counter-productive in most cases. Unless you’re going to review the basic mechanics or the flashy stuff in the first couple of hours, you need more time to get the feel for a game than you do with some other media. On the other hand no one’s going to wait until they’ve put in forty hours of play before they review the thing so it’ll never change.

          I hardly ever read Polygon, but I’m fairly certain that the score change was a direct response to the massive server problems that the game had that led to people not being able to play their game. One extra day would not be enough time to completely change your opinion of the core game itself.

          I’m not sure about Polygon’s specific implementation, but I completely support the idea of review updates. It’s not 2003. Games these days are ever-changing. What scores would Fallout: New Vegas get today, considering that it was lambasted on release for its bugs (which have since been mostly fixed?) What scores would Team Fortress 2 receive today, considering that the game is almost unrecognizable compared to its initial release.

            First number was pre-release, it was review of played-at-EA game, where there were no problems with internet, and probably time-limited (and it’s important to know, Sim City biggest problems started to appear in time – this game was means to be played as Sim Village, maybe Sim Town, but not as Sim City).
            And then score went down inversly to number of minutes they needed to be able to get into game.

    It does not have Halo 14 on launch.
    I shall make 6 Metacritic accounts and with each give it a zero to balance out the score.

  40. 13/11/2013 at 17:44 Kinch says:

    I’d give it 10.5 if it let me play Journey, Shadow of the Colossus, GTA V, The Last of Us, RDR, etc.

    Seems people need to hate something to make them feel better. Hate consoles, hate a website for its web design. So trendy.

      I’d point out that emulation is a matter of time, but that wouldn’t really address your main point.

      • 13/11/2013 at 18:15 I Got Pineapples says:

        I’m actually not entirely sure it is anymore. I mean, they only really solved the PS2 emulation problems by just shrugging going ‘Go find a bios that is totally legal no really’ and some stuff still chugs a bit.

        Though they did eventually get the Saturn working, I guess.

        • 13/11/2013 at 19:53 Nouser says:

          The BIOS thing for PS2 emulators is more legal stuff than a technical issue.

          • 13/11/2013 at 20:48 I Got Pineapples says:

            Oh yeah. I’m more saying that we’re at a point where it’s difficult to make up the pretend console needed to not unleash an unholy torrent of C&D letters.

      There is nothing to hate but hating itself!

      • 13/11/2013 at 22:31 hamburger_cheesedoodle says:

        But that leads to infinite hate! …are you some kind of monster trying to destroy the world/a mad scientist hoping to build a hate-powered generator?

    • 13/11/2013 at 22:05 Gap Gen says:

      Your PC won’t let you play those games because you got in a fight. Buy it some nice RAM, get a candlelit LAN party for two, everything will be forgotten.

      I’m old. I hate everything but Matlock.

      It should be noted that PS4 won’t let you play Journey, Shadow of the Colossus, GTA V, The Last of Us, or RDR either.

      You could play all of those games on PC.

      When they were being developed on one.

    PCs are DEAD! Dead, I tell you. Consoles rule the video game environment. No PC will ever match Defender on my Atari 2600.

    //trolling…am I doing it right?

  42. 13/11/2013 at 17:56 mpk says:

    Polygon gave PS4 a 7.5… so going by industry tropes the machine is only slightly better than average?

  43. 13/11/2013 at 17:57 Tuor says:

    But can it run Crysis?

    But will it run Crys……… oh wait ( looks up ). I’ll get my coat.

    That’s a sexy ad for the Sony Entertainment Network smack dab in the middle of their PS4 review.

    How good are the graphics compared to a Ti-86 calculator? Draw sin and cos better tan the Texas Instruments?

    Clicked the Polygon link and was presented with a blank page.

    Nice to see my adblocker is working correctly.
