I don't know that that's a fair argument, given that the assassins are supposed to look similar because they're all part of the same group. And yes, the games are all very similar, and in some ways that's an issue, but that's also something Ubisoft has been trying to fix, with varying levels of success.

My dream car growing up. Buying a Lambo is still my benchmark for success in the future.

Sure, but that wouldn't be legit, and I'm weird like that.

I think it's still a good point, though. There's a good chance that you'll be able to find at least a Facebook profile or something. Sure, plenty of people don't use social media, but I would assume that the majority (at least of people in a certain age range) does.

Agreed with all of this. While I was shopping for a car, I familiarized myself with a bunch of these websites, and there are a few that really suck.

Yeah, I'm inclined to agree with you. I've got an XB1 (had a 360 and PS3 last gen), and while I certainly don't regret it, and wouldn't choose the PS4 over it, I'm definitely disappointed that Sony does such a good job of locking up Japanese exclusives, while MS just watches them float by. Persona 5 has already been

You know she's the one when she knows you're trying to get a "special" pink pokemon, and DOESN'T leave you!

I have done this a couple times (for legendaries) myself, and it is the most awful timesink imaginable. Resetting your DS hundreds of times a day, for months...Sucks. On the other hand, it's pretty awesome to rock a Shiny Lugia. I could only do this while watching TV, sitting in the passenger seat of a car, etc.

Yup, exactly. It's nice because the differentiator then comes down to engine, size of car, tech, etc., as opposed to "I couldn't afford a nice looking car luxury car, so I bought an ugly version of a prestigious brand." If you buy from an upscale brand, your car should look the part, whether you have a 1.8T V4, or a

Hell, I've got a new A3 and I have trouble telling them apart (especially since it's basically an old A4). With Audi you really have to pay attention to length, height, and the design of the headlights, because that's really what differentiates the models.

Yeah, when I was in Europe a few years back, I was struck by how expensive everything was. It's something I don't look forward to as I plan for a trip next year!

Wii games go for $50 here in the US (as opposed to $60 for an Xbox or Playstation title), usually, so that's a little steep, especially considering that I hate my Wii (I only play it when I have to try a game). Conceptually I just don't like the idea of paying that much of a premium for an "outdated" game, although I

Yup, that's exactly what this is, but that wouldn't generate much good publicity, so they're claiming it's just a revision. In many ways, it's worse than just being a new system, because it's underpowered for being that. So it not only alienates users of the original 3DS, but it also isn't a justifiable upgrade for

Apparently. The problem is that it's not like people come into a neighborhood with the idea of throwing others out; a lot of people actually like how neighborhoods are composed when they come in, which is why they move in in the first place (weird, right?). Obviously people will also move into neighborhoods that they

...Seriously? What is going on over at Nintendo HQ?

Aside from just being salty that I need to upgrade or I'll miss out on Xenoblade, I have to disagree here. What if it doesn't do well? To a lot of people, the cheaper 3DS will probably still be the way to go, and if that's the case, few devs will waste time making "New 3DS"-exclusive titles. Sales of games like

This is exactly what pisses me off. If they're going to market exclusive AAA games, this can essentially be sold as a new generation of handheld (with backwards compatibility), although the bump in specs probably isn't particularly significant.

Except that this is more or less a poor man's new iteration. It has more buttons, and more processing power, and can play games the original 3DS can't. I'm all for hardware revisions, and I would be fine if they simply upgraded the processor/screen/buttons/etc. for performance, but adding new features/hardware, and

So to recap, Nintendo won't release SNES games and the like on the 3DS Virtual Console because they want to push Wii U sales, and now they're also skipping the 3DS on actual 3DS games? Are you f'ing kidding me? I'm starting to think I'd rather they skip making hardware altogether.

Alright, I guess that sounds a little better than I initially thought.
