Verticality has existed in shooters for years. You know, like Unreal Tournament, Quake, etc. all featured verticality and twitch movement. Also, Halo is far from "slow and monotonous" and has tons of verticality, so I'm not sure what you're talking about when you bring up Halo.

People getting miffed at the idea that Microsoft "can't win" because they got complaints about putting Kinect in and now get complaints for taking it out? They kinda annoy me.

STOP SELLING ME MICROTRANSACTIONS AND FAST FOOD, FAHEY!

Shit, I thought about it too. But then I found out Toys R' Us is doing a Buy 2 for $70 that week and I thought I'd go for Wolfenstein and... Fuck, I don't know... I hear that Spider-Man game sucks balls, but you play Spider-Man in it.

Stealing that idea. BRB.

As if I didn't have reason enough to love Gilbert Gottfried.

Yes, and the moon landing was faked, and vaccines give you autism.

This was proven false and multiple sources state otherwise. So no.

PS Plus will live on forever, Schreier. FOREVER!

"NO! MAKE ME! NYEHHHH!"

You mean how are Nintendo's second and third biggest failure (up to the Wii U) considered failures? I don't know, maybe the fact that Nintendo lost the bulk of its third party support to Sony, spent millions on ill-conceived add-ons like the 64DD, went from a 50m install-base with the SNES to 30m with the N64 (while…

Success isn't just about the revenue you make on each console sold. I hate to break it to you, but a profit is meaningless to a multi billion dollar company if their developer support drops to zero and their consumer base shrinks. Yes, they flopped, even Nintendo has admitted as much.

And the moon landing was faked. And there's a shadow government run by lizard men who control everything.

A lot of the reason why Nintendo's software output dropped was due in part because they relied heavily on Japanese third party support (though they'd never admit it). Without Capcom, Konami and Square/Enix (to name a few) the NES and SNES libraries from Nintendo alone would've been about on-par with their output…

This has been covered in another reply:

Was never held accountable for the Virtual Boy. He resigned, he wasn't fired.

Incorrect: Nintendo didn't have to lose money with the N64, "profitability" isn't the only factor in a company considering a product a failure. Nintendo lost the bulk of its third party support to Sony, it incurred losses with long-gestating failures like the 64DD add-on, the console sold almost 20 million fewer units…

You know that the guy basically owned the company, as in "This is My Family's company and I'm the Larger Stockholder, so Remember Your Fucking Place when you're walking upon My Domains" owning.

Yeah, because when the Virtual Boy, N64 and Gamecube all flopped Nintendo held Hiroshi Yamauchi accountable and ousted him for those failures, amirite? Nintendo isn't going to hold anyone accountable for its failures. That's not how Nintendo works, and if anything Iwata's the one guy they SHOULDN'T oust over their…
