I'm not sure what it is about being fashioned out of an expensive aluminum body that totally redeems their lack of customizability of the user experience, closed-off app store whose quality control is no better than the open ones, and continued lack of expandable storage in the face of ridiculous price gouging for…

Are you sure? Because the iPad is not holding the majority of the tablet market anymore. It's $500 and competitors are offering up some serious competition at price points around $200-300 with the same or better specs and plenty of apps to play with. Looking at it strictly from a market perspective, it's the…

Yeah, but consider that it's unrealistic to expect something this big and expensive to be in even 10% of homes with a gaming PC, and I don't think a lot of games will be made specifically with this playstyle in mind. They would likely add it as an extra thing, a nice way to sell to those who DO have this setup, but I…

Hey, I spend the majority of my day sitting in a chair and most of the rest of it standing up to get food. I'm in decent enough shape to be able to walk long distances without a problem, but I'd still go for this. I would get fit playing games and love it. It would be more difficult and straining but I would love…

There's not a Dark Souls player out there who wouldn't instantly recognize that ominous whoosh noise. :P

I'm fairly sure I took pains to make sure I didn't come off as saying we need to have only one, so I'm not sure where that got lost in translation.

Yeah, but we need more neon and less brown realism, that's my point. There are developers doing both, but there's significantly more room for exploration in unique visual styles outside of realism, yet it's by far the most popular thing.

I'm actually totally in love with Wildstar's visual style as a whole. It's incredibly colorful and absolutely OOZES charm. People, THIS is what graphics were made for:

You're kind of right about some Nintendo fans (but give Sony and MS fans credit - they get just as insane too... actually next paragraph I'll look into this a bit better) but the dude is factually wrong about what he's basing his decision on. It's one thing to slam Nintendo for their failures, but you deserve the…

I feel you didn't pick up on the sarcasm.

Hey

I loved the motion controls in Skyward Sword. They didn't always work the way they needed to, sadly, but that kind of combat refinement adding a new level of control to the combat was a necessity for 3D Zelda game combat. Whereas every other 3D Zelda game had stupidly easy combat, Skyward gave me more hearts to start…

Yeah, it's nuts. Wealth inequality in America is terrible and it's getting consistently worse. Off the top of my head, I believe the figure was something like... the top 1% wealthiest Americans control 99% of the country's money. maybe that's exaggerating. I'll go grab the video I saw about it a while back:

That's a really poor reason to buy a console. The games would look marginally prettier, and there wouldn't be any more of them.

Yeah, and they aren't going to port games to a low-selling system that's fairly underpowered and running on a different architecture (the important part, considering the PC, PS4 and One are all fairly intercompatible at this point, making porting between them very easy comparatively), either. I don't know which…

It's like....

It's not really practical, but it's a good gesture, and good PR as well. It shows they're admitting to their mistakes and taking SOME kind of responsibility for them. It shows that they're wiling to incentivize themselves to improve their company's financial situation.

Another console? Do you really think Nintendo could fix their lack of third party support and hardware/software sales by aping their competition and dropping the Wii U like it's the new Virtual Boy? I think that would do a lot more harm than good.

As with before, it's good to see the people in charge actually holding themselves somewhat accountable for the company's financial failures. It's really sickening to see the CEOs of companies like Walmart continue to make probably as much as a whole local store makes in profits yearly, even while they refuse their…

What is my life...?
