They need to get Wii U consoles out in homes at the moment, and that's just not happening with the current lineup. If they were to make Wii fit U bundle for about £200, and market it as a wii fit/web browser tablet for the living room/streaming device as well as games console. If they actually...

Agree with OP and I have been a console gamer my whole life, controls are just balls in general. The whole "fumbling around in his backpack" thing could have been simulated by the animation of Joel changing weapons taking longer, but the whole UI could have been simplified a great deal. A weapon...

Yeah, I'm Irish, go to Dundee, it's pretty great. Get my fees paid and all, the cost of living is extremely cheap, as is Scotland generally. It's a pretty long commute (obviously), but I don't mind. I go home every three months, but you'd be able to go home a lot more often. My flatmate in first...

The Westboro Baptist Church, politicians, hipsters, vegetarians, vegans, and organised religion in general. They all deserve it, to be fair.

Splitscreen man, that is all.

George Lucas only re-released this in 3D so he could have more money to bathe in. 3D adds nothing to the experience.

Sorry, double post

Evil and dirty, not at all like all those beautiful, soulful, friendly corporations making big-budget films and games! You think EA and WB work in a nice industry? Nope. What other industry goes through so much trouble to screw their consumers over (with DRM, etc), charges £45 for a product that...

Hear hear. And here in Ireland it's pretty easy to return games if there's a problem with 'em, especially around christmas time when everybody and their mum has a load of crappy games kicking about that they don't want.

Well I don't trade in games a week after I buy them... I return them for a refund if they're that shit (or short). Again though, I traded in my original DS a full five years after I bought it. I'd say that's a pretty reasonable trade in time. The reason being that I used it for all that time...

I'm offended by your implication that anyone who buys used is a cheapskate. I'm a student, does that mean that instead of consuming all the media I can for the money I have I should buy just one or two games full price on launch day? No. Would you call someone who buys a supermarket's own...

I fail to see the difference. BMW don't schedule press conferences to discuss how people buying their cars second hand is causing them to implement a biometric key that only allows the first owner to drive it.

How are they not the same? They're identical in every way! 1) Person buys car new, paying full price to BMW, Toyota, whatever. 2) Someone else buys that car off them, or from a dealership. Cash exchange takes place whereby the previous owner gets a portion of their original buying price...

So your rationale as to why Blockbuster and libraries don't count, but Gamestop does, is that you (a person who doesn't own a blockbuster or a library I'm presuming), rented a DVD to put on a paid showing of, and it cost more than buying the DVD. Well played sir, well played.

Also bear in mind that the developers have literally no idea which of the people complaining on their forums actually bought a copy and who didn't. Besides the fact, that I buy craploads of new games the entire time and the devs never listen to me. So screw 'em, I buy where I want, and get the...
