The real story behind the Tidus Laugh from Final Fantasy X - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRWab0q9aw4

I played FFX well before I'd ever come across any Internet scorn communities, and it wasn't until years later that I found out this scene (of all things) was so indelibly lodged in their heads. Taken out of context, of course, by people who had never played it, it was the only thing they knew about it. And boy did they love to tear into it. Much like "Press F" is the only thing many Internet gamers today know about Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare.

So after the controversy faded around Uncharted's voice actress, let's invent a new one. Let's preemptively accuse Uncharted of killing the games industry.

Why is it so important to believe that AAA will die?

Rocksmith 2014 Remastered is a game coming out in 2016 - http://www.polygon.com/2016/8/25/126503 ... one-pc-mac
Samit Sarkar wrote: Rocksmith 2014 Edition, the music learning game from Ubisoft San Francisco, is being re-released Oct. 4 with a facelift and new features, publisher Ubisoft announced today. The package will include "a customizable learning curve, expanded practice tools, stat tracking, improved menus and more," according to Ubisoft.

That’s all well and good, except for the fact that Ubisoft’s official title for the re-release is Rocksmith 2014 Edition – Remastered, which is comical to the point of absurdity.
I wouldn't think there's anything malicious behind this attack, just more of the same brain-dead Internet nonsense, but then again, I don't think this article would have been published if it weren't an Ubisoft game.
