The difference is we're actually seeing a lot of the things No Man's Sky is being hyped over, instead of the proofs-of-concept stages that a lot of Spore's "revolutionary" ideas ended up getting scrapped at.

November 2013, eh?

Unfortunately being a sexist prick isn't exactly illegal.

Oh yeah, first race I did I was shaking the controller and pressing all the buttons trying to do wheelies and was very sad when I couldn't. :(

I wasn't looking for ground breaking gameplay changes. If you read my other comment, I said it's a fun game, and I love Mario Kart, so I will continue playing it. Just saying I was disappointed by a couple aspects of it (character list and lack of dedicated battle arenas), and I don't think it's a "best game" of any…

I love Mario Kart, and 8 is indeed gorgeous. The improved graphics are very welcome, and the new tracks are great. I guess my problems with it are mainly the poor character roster and lack of dedicated Battle Mode arenas. As for Evan's claim that if the Wii U turns around and starts selling more, people will point to…

While I haven't played many other Wii U games, MK 8 was very underwhelming for me. Nice tracks, yes, but the gameplay changes didn't do too much for me, and the character list is absolutely horrendous. After being disappointed by almost every single character unlock, I just stopped playing once I got them all. 7 of…

Different people find different things fun. There's no such thing as "fundamentally not fun."

Implying that the guy didn't actually play the game before doing speedruns of it.

That's...pretty much the point of a speed run like this. Find the right chain of exploits that will allow you to complete the game as quickly as possible.

Oh ok, so it sounds like you want to use a controller and earn achievements, in exchange for less actual game content. Then yeah, wait for the Vita version. The PC version is the original, the vast majority of Mojang's attention, especially in development, is directed towards it, and it has way more features and…

I only need one: it's full-featured. Why play a console version of a game, when I'm not going to be getting everything I could get if I played the PC version?

Yeah, and I'm a professional software developer. Your argument literally makes no sense. Mojang is doing this so that their customers won't have Minecraft ruined for them because all these big servers are giving powerful perks to people who pay them. I have played tons of games on servers hosted by fans, plenty of…

I said Hypixel will not have to shut down. I'm sure they'll have to make adjustments to their stores and stuff, and that's ok. They'll survive, as Hypixel himself said.

As for the Hive, I really feel no sympathy towards that. The point of a server is community, so why split your community within the server between…

Let's look at it this way:

I think you're the one who really needs to do his research on this. If what you say about the Hive is true, and any perks are purely cosmetic like pets, particle affects, and sounds, then the Hive will be totally ok and will not have to change a thing. This was specifically covered in Mojang's blog post. I suggest…

When some of the largest multiplayer communities are on these kind of p2w servers, yeah, the little kids at home who want to play literally cannot because they'll get trounced by donators. You think a couple of 10 year olds have the means to start their own private server? Or the ability to lug the family computer…

Sounds like someone's bitter that they're going to stop getting the extra cash from naive children who are willing to pay for enchanted armor and console commands.

Because why the hell would they want two separate editions of the game on the same platform? Even IF it would sell, it would be cannibalizing sales of regular Minecraft, which is a million times superior to any of the console versions.
