I'd like to take a minute to remind everyone that we still don't know much about what Nintendo is doing. I think doing the Skylanders thing by locking the characters behind a paywall is stupid. Like, profoundly stupid. I mean, lots of characters in past game were hidden, yeah, but you could...

Well, considering that Firefox is a free browser, what effect will switching actually have? Are they somehow getting money based on how many people are using their browser how much? IS there, like, some sorta thing to the program that logs how much you use it and sends it somewhere where someone...

I suppose if some company had to do it first, it would have to have been EA.

So, there's HUGE game breaking bugs in there.... and now they expect the consumer to pay them for more content while what's already out hasn't even been fixed yet? Those are some priorities. Didn't even want to even out the vanilla game before milking the fans for more money? This would...

Very true. Buyer Beware. Although that sort of goes out the window if the dev is actively trying to decieve the consumer. Not saying that's happening here, just a little note.

One thing I didn't like about the Fable series is that it seemed to lose a bit after the first one, mainly in the sense that Armor was done away with (You could wear armor, but it was only for looks, and didn't do much for you) Will powers were reduced to the point where all you got were...

Difference is that back then there wasn't a standardized format like there is today. All physical games come as discs, CD's, DVD's, and now Blu Ray, which both new consoles can play. Plus, we just had a generation of consoles that all had back compatibility (though the 360's wasn't always...

Man this is just like Tim Langdell's stupid ass "Edge" thing, which I'm pretty sure was the reason why "Soul Edge" had to release under the name "Soul Blade" here in NA. So that settles it: anything this company makes is now poison.

THANK YOU! True objectivity in reviews is like a flipping unicorn, it just doesn't exist. When you experience things, they are filtered through a lens of your opinions, experiences, and beliefs, and occasionally, yes, emotion. OT: I used to love, love, LOVE Extra Credits, but after...

I've played a small bit of the demo for this game, thinking I may pick it up when it launches, and I can't see why people are complaining. They've altered some of the content to make the game more palatable to the new market they aim to sell it to. I understand the feeling of knowing others who...

The way I see it is that the people shifting the blame feel like it's either downplay the harassment or resign to the idea that gaming is a bad hobby. On the subject of Hyrule Warriors, I was tickled when I saw it on Nintendo Direct. If the Zelda series' reputation can take hits like Wand of...

Thing about the whole "Nintendo is totally going third party" rhetoric is that I think it comes from people remembering what happened with the Sega Dreamcast. Problem is that the Dreamcast wasn't a just a single failure- there was plenty of failure by Sega leading up to it. For starters...

While you're right that it's not the consumer's responsibility to keep gaming companies afloat, bear in mind that if Nintendo doesn't make money, they can't make games. Nintendo went the way they did because they knew that trying to compete directly with MS and Sony as they did with GC wasn't...

See, I think the reason why nobody clamors for MS or Sony to go third party is because they don't have as many worthwhile IPs to bring to the other consoles. In fact, most their best stuff is made by other companies (Naughty Dog, Sucker Punch, etc) under contract with the console maker...

I actually agree with Jim. Thing is, while the Wii U had its hardware foibles, it's had a year to deal with them, and unless I missed something, a Wii U received this year is nearly guaranteed to work out of the box. Both the new systems have had hardware failures, albeit a small percentage...
