1. Our Inbox are full a lot because we have 1.5 million people to help and serve lol. People PM to point out trolls, people PM to ask why something got reported/failed. There are many just day to day reasons why people PM us.

2. Well the rest of the community doesn't have trouble with finding it, so I don't know what to tell you on that front.

3. Yes but the problems you had are for the most part made up, and you indirectly tried to bring up the idea that there was some shadowy system behind the scenes. Ya I remember that one now, that week there was a bunch of news about HHG, how his site sucked, how he sucked, and then it went onto other sites. We purged all of them because it wasn't gaming news and it was causing hostilities.

4. If every person to visited HHG came to us first every time, and then suddenly just stopped it wouldn't effect us.

5. I don't know where your getting this resting on your laurels stuff from, we all work extremely hard on this site, most of us end up putting near full time hours in for no pay, we know of the real problems that exist and they will be fixed.

Hits to the site is again only 1/4 of what effects heat, look at HHG, he embeds his stuff and he gets a ton of heat everytime. View

1. Believe it or not we are here to serve the users not the site owners, we make it mandatory for you to embed because its easier for the users, we don't get into the politics of hits and page views, its also not our responsibility. The numbers I was referring to were the degrees, comments, hits ect, I just made them up for the example.

2.That page is clearly laid out as a corporate/suggestion box contact list, there is a list of Mods and Admins that is easily available. Cat is the News Admin, and I am a do everything mod.

3. Tabloid trash was bit harsh, but when I watch a video with two people who both don't know how the site works, and both have a problem, it gets annoying to watch. As for why your news post got deleted, I couldn't tell you, I remember the news post kind of, but I go through hundreds of news posts a day and I can't remember who or why your post was deleted. As for the contact sheet http://forums.n4g.com/N4G-S...

4. No HHG hasn't driven a lot of traffic to us, we drive a lot of traffic to him, if someone was so interested in HHG, they wouldn't come through N4G to get to his site, they would just go to his site.

We have a very... volatile community, its frankly a lot like the Blizzard Entertainment community, they will get you if you slip up once, and they will dance on your grave, but these guys are loyal, Saaking may troll, but by god I can count on him to be trolling every single day. View

Good points, except that Uncharted only beats AC2 and MW2 by like 4 points on Metacritic and both games have outsold UC2.

But I am just being mean on purpose!

Merry Christmas! View

Sigh another post trying to claim unbiased and accurate criticisms of N4G without actually knowing anything.

1. Heat is determined by Unique comments, Unique click, Unique hits to the site, and time. If Story A gets 125 comments, but no one actually clicks the link to the site, its not getting above 200. If Story B gets 125 comments, and say 10k click throughs in 2 hours, it will prob shoot up to 500 degrees really quickly, however if Story C does the same performance but it takes 2 days, its not going to get the same kind of heat. Those numbers aren't accurate, they are made up.

2. He clearly didn't email a Mod/Admin, I'll show him my PM inbox and he can tell me then that we don't listen to every complaint/suggestion or e-mail asking for help. I know for a fact that Cats box is never not blinking red.

3. This is a community driven site, the people not the staff decide what gets approved and what doesn't. Considering that PixelEnemy and DuelShockers are known for tabloid trash like news, I am not surprised your not finding any success.

4. N4G is actually a lot bigger then people think, we're bigger then GamesRadar, Eurogamer, 1up, Kotaku, Joystiq, Destructoid, and a numerous other sites. Gamespot and IGN are under the umbrella of multi-billion dollar corporations I would expect them to be higher then us.

5. People aren't jealous of HHG, its not that hard to get invited to PAX, E3, XO9, yada yada yada. Canadian is right about HHG, he makes either flamebait titles that just annoy people, or he makes really vauge or obvious guesses, like Halo 4 in the works? Then screams that he has inside info when it happens. View

Well if the rumors are true about Fable 3 having natal gameplay, that would be a great launch title, your biggest RPG series that has casual appeal,with your brand new motion tech View

Ya its good to know that whoever wrote this took logic into account. What with Reach being in development since 2007 and all.

Also it will release in September, its so much easier that way, they get big sales, Fable 3 will get October, and they'll let the next COD game take November View

You are aware that FF is a direct rip off of Ultima 3? The West created every version of RPG that has ever been created. View

I have a real problem with the lack of accurate information in this article.

1. Never was it said by Microsoft that Halo: Reach was suppose to be an answer for Killzone 2, that was something others have said. And the game looks great.

2. The Halo games have always had a balance of vehicles to walking levels, right off the top of my head I know Halo 3 had at least 4, and ODST had 3. Not to mention the choice to use them in Multiplayer.

3. MC is the greatest warrior they have, it would be stupid for him to be on the fictional front lines. Its usually a global war, and MC is used to take out or secure key people or places. Whats more important stopping your enemy from having a Galaxy killing weapon, or fighting in Europe?

4. This is wrong again, the first four Halo 3 missions are you landing on earth, meeting up with what remains of the human military, pushing through the enemy frontlines and attacking the enemy fleet directly. Even on the ark there are more then one situation where its you, 4 tanks, a dozen jeeps and mongoose trying to take out Brutes and a Scarab, or the epic dog fight level, or the level where you take on two Scarabs.

5. As for hype, sales and activity there are a lot of things to look at, for sales it has done way better then Halo 2, Halo 3 still shows up in the top 20 list in the first parts of the year, It was on the UK list a few weeks ago. Halo 3 ODST is a smaller title, and still is close to 3 million. As for activity, Halo 3 is still usually the number 1 played game, or number 2. ODST has two Mutliplayer modes, firefight is something that some people may just do offline with friends, and anyone who plays the Halo 3 MP from ODST, would be counted as playing Halo 3.

Overall terrible article. View

Actually professionalism is meticulous adherence to undeviating courtesy, honesty, and responsibility in one's dealings with customers and associates, plus a level of excellence that goes over and above the commercial considerations and legal requirements. View

The difference between a journalist and HHG, is that a journalist goes out and finds real proof, and does all the grunt work before posting a rumor, you hear something and then just spit it out on your show.

I know people who work for the major websites, the stuff they know, or have heard like you is vastly different but they don't report it because they can't prove it. View

In all honesty, I think the game that really has a chance to beat Halo Reach is Starcraft 2, Starcraft sold 14 million copies, WoW has 11 million, its going to sell huge for the next 5 years View

Really you think Remedy the people behind Max Payne isn't know for quality? View

Guys I am going to ask that you refrain from turning this into any kind of debate, or a venue to express your views about the validity of being gay or your religious opinions.

Try to stay respectful and on topic. View

You forgot about Crackdown 2 and Alan Wake, and MistWalkers new porject View

Good for them, hopefully this will mean more Forza in the future. View

This has me excited, this is a bit of a stretch, but its already been confirmed that its NOT CGI, but its the opening cinematic, can we expect some mind blowing then in terms of graphics? View

I have to be honest it annoys me that people make a big deal about getting up once to switch a disc, that takes all of 15 seconds to complete.

Its even more annoying when they say its an outdated and last gen problem, but have no issues with the fact that in some case, but not all a Blue Ray disc requires an install, which is a step backwards even more since no other generation has had to deal with an install before. a 5 minute install is worse then a disc swap.

What is with every class based shooter copying TF2 engineer? All of them seem to just love taking the turret part for some reason. What happened to Engineers being demo men! View

Saaking your getting a bubble from me since every comment I've read from you in the last week as been great. Keep up the change of attitude. View

I didn't switch to Natal, I was merely pointing out that they have a studio for it, MS showed a lot of 360 only games at E3 I don't know what you were watching.

Bizzare studio was a bit of a loss, but what would be the point of buying a studio because they make one of your titles? From what I've been told by people who hear real news, Turn 10 has a second team that will deal with PGR.

Bioware was a loss, but the problem was that Bioware was legally tied to Pandemic, they made a parent company to help each other out, and let them do their thing, MS had already said they would have loved Bioware, but they had never worked with Pandemic Studio and weren't about to put down close to a billion dollars on a wild card.

Bungie again was a loss, but it was either let them go Indy yet retain a minority ownership in the company and a first refusal deal, or have all the talent jump ship.

FASA- Hadn't made a good game in years

ES- Broke my heart, but they only did one genre

Sim Team- Again one franchise, that was it.

Since the start of this generation they have IP's that get worked on by some of the best, that they didn't have last time.
