No seriously, what were you expecting? It's been like that for decades and you suddenly expect an entire industry to change with you to suit your taste? I'll never understand this way of thinking.

Holy shit, could this article suck Blow's cock any harder? Why does a game NEED to be intelligent in the first place? Making an "intelligent" game just for the sake of making an "intelligent" game is pointless. It'll only come off as pretentious.

If you can afford a monitor that can do 2560x1600 chances are you can afford a GPU at that price too. Good chance that monitor will cost more than the card.

Is 640x480 enough?

Sony and Microsoft sells at a loss for years: Wow! Look at how great these sales are and how nice these companies are for taking a hit for us.

I'm sure there are companies that track the numbers but most of the time they're complete bullshit.

You're the one that insists on brute forcing the encounter. Trying to take cover still doesn't mean you're trying to by-pass him, it just means you're charging at him more slowly giving him more chances to shoot you. Once you know where they are it's laughably easy to avoid. Fire a burst to suppress then ignore the…

Wow, so there are people who DO live under rocks.

And nothing of value was lost.

"I would count any Mario platforming game where he's jumping on enemies. There have been a bunch in the portable market, too."

Okay, we got Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 but that's the first time that's happened since what? The NES? And that's still only one game. Unless you're implying that anything with "Mario" in the title is the same game.

One game every 4-5 years is "over and over"?

And you are a part of the reason why Nintendo doesn't bother going bigger. When they do no one cares. When they don't everyone bitches. They're fucked either way so may as well choose the options that guarantees them money.

The most unpleasable of unpleasable fanbases.

Don't need to emulate when most HD console games are multiplatform.

"I can play their games on my PC in HD and at better framerate with anti-aliasing."

"So the 3DS is selling at a loss, and they're not shifting, so Nintendo's stretegy is to increase the cost later this year and see whether that helps?!"
