Ugh. And to think one of the reasons I was interested in this feature was because I don't play the game with the gamepad.

Nonsense. Any nooblet who has played Street Fighter long enough to learn how to throw a hadouken can pretty much face roll their way through the story modes at the lower difficulties. It's only when you start throwing them at things like Score Attack, Survival, Unlimited Mars, and other players that things stop being…

The vehicle of choice for Dr. Thrax.

Make that a very compact SUV in the case of Mario Kart 8.

I wouldn't say complexity itself is a bad thing. Guilty Gear and Blazblue have a lot of underlying systems to be aware of, but they are pretty fun and approachable for people of any level of skill.

You know the Gameboy Advance wasn't even three when its successor was named. The original DS was between five and six. The 3DS will be four very early next year and if we don't see it stateside until mid year, it's not exactly a stretch to say the console will be in its twilight at that point.

It's logical, it's just kind of crappy to make people buy next gen consoles for games that clearly don't really get much benefit from them. It's like they are cannibalizing this title in the hopes of making another title perform better.

To be fair they went through all of these problems with the DSi as well.

Of course, by the time this thing releases in the U.S. it will be pretty damn close to time for Nintendo to start talking about their whole Fusion concept (which will likely mean a replacement to the entirety of the 3DS line)

Beefcake? He clearly doesn't even lift. Considering the state of his arms, the Monado must be made of cardboard.

Just that it's not a remake. Nothing about connections has been stated.

There has been so much hate. So many angry words, so many accusations, over...what? Video games? Women in video games? People who write about video games?

"The initial purpose was not to become a multiplayer paywall."

Early in the movie, Bo Peep makes a very suggestive comment to Woody when she asks: "What do you say I get someone else to watch the sheep tonight?" But assuming that Woody and Bo Peep follow the mainstream trends in action figure design, both of them probably weren't made to be perfectly...anatomically correct. So…

They should make the blue shell explosion a whole lot bigger (like a track wide and with a mushroom cloud) and last a whole lot longer so that it actually affects people in second and third (unless first just has a huge lead) so that it can actually have a chance to be useful to people who are far back enough to use…

I'll acknowledge I didn't have any inkling of a release date for Bloodborne (and I'm just eternally salty at Last Guardian and FF Versus skipping PS3), but I just find it irritating that people keep acting like the new consoles are bustling marketplaces of new and exciting stuff when there are only a handful of things…

Yes, it does. I remember doing this when playing locally and when we all picked Yoshi I explicitly thought 'you know, this would be a perfect opportunity for palette swaps'.

No Man's Sky and Bloodborne are both about as tangible right now as Last Guardian was back when the PS3 was just hitting its stride.
