Obviously the latter. They can make great games when they try. The more they focus on gimmicky hardware the less they deliver in terms of first party content. If they had announced a return to conventional console design - spec rivalling Xbone/PS4, standard controller - with a strong first party lineup of games - new…

I’m torn between train wreck and cool new idea. The hardware looks cool and versatile (which is obviously how the video intended to show it), but in practical terms just think about how many different bits there are to it - there’s a lot of stuff there that can develop faults and be difficult to replace (ever tried…

No they won’t. If they were going to do that, they could just do that and not bother developing and manufacturing their own second screen hardware. I’ve always thought the Wii U would have been better if it had had a more conventional controller with an Android/iOS app to make your phone or tablet a second screen for…

No, it’s getting a remaster in a few days.

Table Tennis 2?

^This. I’m not a fan of his presenting persona (the voice, the fact that it’s really dumbed down/not intellectual) but in his more personal videos (with his girlfriend and dog) you see behind that a little bit and he seems like a nice enough guy, probably even someone I’d get on with in real life. Beyond that I’ve got…

Let me guess - your YouTube channel didn’t take off in quite the same way? Yeah, mine neither.

Yeah, Microsoft are never going to win people over to using the Windows Store as a serious gaming platform if that’s how they treat the games there. I’m not even sure that’s what they’re trying to do, which is somehow even worse as the games are just languishing there. I mean I wasn’t even aware that Gears 4 had been…

Glad to hear it’s running smoothly for you, but does it have the same weird issues that other Windows Store games have, like it running in a borderless window instead of proper fullscreen and forced v-sync? Technical issues aside, I’m sure Microsoft’s latest PC games would be selling better if they were on Steam - not…

Battleborn’s price has been steadily decreasing since it came out in May, and the game is now selling for just $20 at Amazon and some other retailers.

I even more recently also a horrifying mod!

Nintendo hears you. Nintendo don’t care.

No, he really did also the horrifying mod!

I don’t have - have never had - an N64. The only N64 games I’ve ever played have been ports on other platforms (Ocarina of Time and Majora’s Mask on the GameCube, Super Mario 64 on the DS). I felt like if I ever wanted to play any others I could probably get them either legitimately on a Virtual Console or, if it had…

Clearly he meant native hardware, as in an actual N64.

Denial mostly leads to the Mediterranean.

But how will they exploit that nostalgia if they don’t close it down so that they can bring it back later?

^This. The guy seems smart, perceptive and articulate (basically, a good critic) but the whole persona - those glasses, that hat, the podium - just gets my back up, so I feel like I can’t side with him even if I agree with him. I totally get why he does it though - I’ll never be YouTube famous because I couldn’t pull…

It is - Half Life 3(wave).
