They keep talking about SE like they're Lightning games are masterpieces and the people working on them are geniuses.

Sounds interesting, though the Japanese racial stuff is super disappointing to me. Seriously, if it wasn't for that one good anime that comes out every so often I'd say the genre was dead.

Yeah, it's all timers. There's a great Angry Joe review of the Star Trek game, and its timers before timers before timers. All of which can be waved for a few bucks.

I think 214W might have meant "they need new commercials." I mean it's fine for Sony to keep putting up ads if they want to, but that Perfect Day ad really needs to be put out to pasture.

I just think these big open world games need to take more chances on interesting and substantive expansions for their games. Mods seem to fill a role but to me they often don't seem as well rounded as this mod.
I mean if the people who made FC3 put in the energy to make a full conversion with zombies and dinosaurs as a…

Seriously, this is what I was saying they should do a long time ago. Makeover the islands to be zombified and re-shape some missions and stuff. Instead they went the Blood Dragon route. But Far Cry could have gone zombie and been so great.

Yep, he liked chili dogs.

Good job Owen, you just gave me another neurosis. Neuroses?

"Damnit! Did he eat chili dogs?"

Machinima has slowly but surely become the face of corporate evil on youtube.

Best thread evah. lolololol

So great. Yep, that would be pretty terrible.

Yeah, there's this barrier to entry in picking up a new console that I think the Wii U fumbled in so many ways. Those in the know have reasons for not picking one up, so far, and those out of the know(a large portion of which bought their Wii console) have a different sense of things now. I mean for casuals when the…

Interesting points. The gamecube was the end of their former head's reign. He had some serious hubris, looking back we might say. And how he thought gaming would go was just not what happened. And to say that the Wii U fails to gather the audience because of it's marketing and name is disingenuous. There are many…

That quote from the OP was a reference to the original source about the "Nintendo Fusion" -I believe(?). But yeah, I don't care for how he put out his points but I think that more or less he hit the nail on the head with it.

Maybe picking on Nintendo is getting old in a way, but so is people throwing out these gut check excuses for them. And to Nintendo fanboys and the console warriors there's always going to be a reason to do all that stuff. The thing is there are some people with level heads and just because some of their criticisms…

3rd parties left Nintendo for a variety of reasons, with Nintendo charging more than Sony/Microsoft during the Gamecube days and so many more reasons. But seriously, I've kind of got tired of people making the same excuses for Nintendo over time. "The control that others copied"-copied and failed much like other…

Right, but the NES/SNES days they were right up there with the best of the consoles while never making a ridiculous leap like some manufacturers might. What I'm saying though is the 2 philosophies don't coexist any more, they've gone so far towards it just being good games that they forgot the hardware does matter to…

It's weird Nintendo is known for making underpowered consoles now because they were more or less on the cutting edge back in the day. But there seem to be 2 competing philosophies at Nintendo, one about games and how people are going to always buy good games, and another about doing hardware well. The latter…

Nope, it's Kotaku. They need loads of poor quality GIFs going at all times. I'm surprised this is the first time one of them got you. They normally look pretty awful to my eyes.
