So did I, Drexler. That's the only series that literally had me in tears at the end. As an emotionally fulfilling conclusion, it was absolutely PERFECT.

Take it from someone who played Counter-Strike 1.5, then 1.6, for three years. CS is fun as hell, but maaaaaaaaaan, if you're doing poorly, and/or if the team you're playing against is excellent, it is FRUSTRATING.

"Many people are mad at Platinum games, all they're doing is what's best for Bayonetta 2 and should only rage against themselves for not wanting a Wii U."

Some of your comparisons are wonky. The Halo series was already an established Microsoft IP before 3 was released. You might as well replaced that with Mario games and Nintendo. Also, Halo eventually received a PC port. Uncharted going to Vita makes perfect sense, since Sony owns the handheld. Ninja Gaiden had a ton…

Not everyone's being pissy about the situation. Plenty of us are reasonably upset, but just like the Mass Effect 3 ending controversy, the reasonable criticisms are drowned out by the immature, idiotic responses that now represent every negative opinion on Bayonetta's move to the Wii U.

Here's a decent parallel: Capcom making Resident Evil exclusive to the Nintendo Gamecube. That experiment had mixed results with the games themselves (the RE1 remake and RE4 were great, RE0 was decent but nothing special, and the RE2/3/CV ports were overpriced), but the sales were underwhelming compared to the PS1…

Huh? Platinum didn't leave out of spite, but because Sega's no longer their publisher. Nintendo's the only company who wanted to support the sequel, so off to the Wii U, they went.

YOU. ARE MISSING. THE POINT.

Exactly. Nintendo hasn't exactly been winning the console wars like they did during the NES and SNES days (with the latter period facing fierce rivalry with the Genesis), but profitability goes a long way when running a business, even when you're not on top.

Not quite the same thing. You can't expect people to enjoy a game for one pair of systems (360 and PS3), and then completely abandon them for another (Wii U) that never got the attention in the first place. The brief period of exclusivity that Capcom gave to Nintendo with the Resident Evil series (2002-2005) proved…

And here I thought PC gamers are supposed to be "smarter" than mainstream console drones.

Uh, Call of Duty isn't exclusive to the Xbox.

While drafting and getting players on the waiver wire isn't quite the same as catching wild Pokemon, it does have a similar affect. Same with choosing who to bench, based on the likelihood/unlikelihood of success and injury, much like Pokemon's elemental rock-paper-scissors mechanics. That's how I see it, anyway.

I could never play fantasy sports outside of football for that reason. Part of the reason fantasy football works, just like the league itself, is because of the limited number of games per season, and long stretch between games and seasons. Anyone with a little extra time of their hands can go into a draft and setup…

Yep. The line between jocks and nerds is razor thin. Fantasy football is basically Pokemon for gridiron junkies.

Not that I find your overall opinion foolish or anything (quite the contrary, in fact), and maybe this is me being cranky, but enough with the stereotypical dis towards Gears of War pioneering the "real is brown" color scheme already. It's no longer clever, and it's beating a dead horse in an era when most developers…

Really? HL1 had some load times, but they were infrequent enough to not be annoying (like how Portal 2 broke up its load times between test chambers). That's...discomforting...

Since when did liking health regen automatically disqualify someone from making opinions on shooters? There's nothing inherently wrong with preferring that over old school health packs. Both kinds of health systems have their pros and cons. On the contrary to popular opinion, health regen created plenty scenarios that…
