I think people are being way WAY too knee-jerk in their reactions, not just to Xbox but Sony as well. The consoles haven’t even come out yet, let alone any kind of library of games. Yet people are already writing it off as a failure. Even with the Wii U people are dismissing it, and it’s only been out a few months. It’s easy to be dismissive now;…[Read more]

I don’t see why it boggles your mind. I see people defend Nintendo blindly all the time despite their constant terrible decisions. Why should Microsoft or Sony fans be any different?

That’s a shame. I’d have respected them more if they stuck to their guns. That being said, I could see a game like Madden working on the Wii U by having the playbook/audibles on the gamepad.

So what your saying is that it was what one would expect from a Microsoft press conference.

I fail to see how Revenegeance or any God of War would be a departure from what they are already doing.

So I take it the conference went well then.

I think running so many long hauls at once tends to be a problem, at least for me. I get wanting to have consistency; but there should also be room for spontaneity. Of course it doesn’t help that Mass Effect, Far Cry, Hitman, and Tomb Raider are all kind of boring to watch. Uncharted and Arkham Asylum were both AAA titles; but they were really fun…[Read more]

Yeah I watched the preview last week, I definitely don’t see this taking off the way FiM did, as far as outside the target demographic. It seems very standard middle school drama, which should appeal to younger girls. Nothing wrong with that of course, just not something I have any interest in seeing. I’ll probably check the show out just because…[Read more]

The thing is, it’s not just a 30 second ad at the start of the video. It’s that, plus one in the middle, plus I’ve gotten ads OVER videos before. If it were just a preroll at the start, I’d be okay with that; but to me it’s far too intrusive. When it makes it impossible to actually see what is going on, that to me is going too far.

As far as the…[Read more]

Seriously? This isn’t even a big deal. If you want to look at naked butts there is plenty of porn on the internet. Hell there is plenty of pinup stuff on deviantart and other sites that is just as revealing. So yeah, as others have pointed out, getting that isn’t much when compared to the decades of getting screwed over.

In the ultimate display of ‘it isn’t over until it’s over’ the Bruins somehow managed to overcome a 4-1 deficit in the 3rd period by scoring 3 goals in the final 10:42 (2 goals in the final 1:22) to send it to overtime. Patrice Bergeron was easily the hero of the game, scoring not only the tying goal; but game winning goal in overtime.

And yes, I…[Read more]

I don’t think it’s really fair to compare the two. Sony has their hands in a lot more ventures than Nintendo does. If you compare their total assets it isn’t even close. So sure, Nintendo might be turning a profit; but 2 billion to Sony is a drop in the bucket. Not that they WANT to lose money; but it’s not killing them to take a loss.

And in any…[Read more]

I don’t think consoles will crash as long as they continue to act as multimedia devices. Like I don’t own a DVD player, I use my PS3 if I want to watch a DVD or something on Netflix.

There is a difference between being “good games” or “unique experiences” and being killer apps (although it does help to be both). I can’t think of a single game on the 3DS or Wii U that makes me say ‘well shit I have no choice but to buy this system just to play this one game’. And in the interest of fairness, this applies to every console I’ve…[Read more]

I blame Nintendo for their increasingly absurd controllers. Sure the Wii U Pad can be cool for some things…but for your average game it is not practical at all. The same went for the Wiimote. Sure there is also Kinect and PS Move; but neither of those were the default.

As to why I crap on Nintendo, it’s because I used to love them, and it’s…[Read more]

It could be useful for adding a 5th player to a game via crossplay. Not sure if there are many games that support that kind of thing though.

Damn that is a good deal. Speaking for myself Ni No Kuni has far exceeded being worth full retail price, so being able to get it for a third of that is even more of a steal.

First of all, using something as subjective as personal opinion to try and argue something for which there isn’t much room for debate is questionable at best. Heck outside of Madden I can’t think of anything by EA that appeals to me in the slightest. But that doesn’t mean games like Mass Effect weren’t high quality games. I don’t have to like…[Read more]

The world is truly a sadder place without Outkast.

Of course we are assuming he means extra-terrestrials and not the OTHER kind of alien. If it’s the latter, well that sure makes us look pretty xenophobic. :P
