Clearly all those facts are fabricated by the right wing media to sell more PS4s because ...Obama.

After watching last night's episodes, again, I can't get over how much better this season is than the last two... just a total 180. Also the two episodes back to back is pretty great, though it sucks this season will be over in a few weeks.

I do admire Nintendo showcasing so much gameplay, something I think Microsoft dropped the ball with and Sony did a pretty decent job at. However, my problem was just the games in general. Smash Bros we already knew about and I'm starting to get fatigued with all the trailers and announcements, the same way I was sick of hearing about Watch Dogs before it was released. The Zelda reveal was huge, but again, no game play. And beyond that, their games weren't just that interesting, or they were vague teases like Star Fox... who knows when the fuck we'll actually see Star Fox? They also didn't do a great job explaining what the NFC figures do. You can criticize Sony all you want about TLG but where the fuck is Metroid? Ever since Other M Nintendo's been saying they have plans for Metroid, but nothing ever materializes. BUT, the reason I'm posting here isn't to continue debating with the charming Atomsk88. I picked up Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze recently. I can't believe, for a game that was literally their biggest first party game for the first part of the year (until MK8) the fucking gamepad screen shuts off when you're playing it. When they're struggling to show why this gimmick is important, I can't believe they weren't ripped apart for that.

Oh boy... Nintendo is a terrible hardware developer and their hardware just can't compete with the Xbone, PS4, and PC? Besides the Wii their hardware sales have been on a steady decline each generation, moving to 3rd party would allow them to sell more games and not be limited to their weak and gimicky hardware. There's no Nintendo hate here, just a lot of stern criticism to a company that clearly doesn't know what the fuck they're doing anymore. Though I do own a Wii U I'd buy all of my Nintendo games on PS4 if they were released on PS4, who wouldn't? Your comparison to Ratchet and Clank is dumb because first of all, those games must sell somewhat decently because Insomniac is still releasing them but also the difference between a Ratchet game and a Mario game is pretty huge, both in terms of quality and popularity.

Good news, Strangelove, there's a 99 cent flash sale! Bad news, it's mostly PS1 games and other games that have been on flash sales before.

To be fair, that's how they write the year in Edmonton.

Being humble is a good thing, people.

Yeah a one screen handheld would be ideal. Nintendo has been using two screens since 2004 and I have yet to see a good use of it beyond inventory/map.

Yeah fuck Halo. And fuck PC gaming that's not on Apple.

Ok you guys are crazy. Final Fantasy XIII, while no means a great game, was a much better game than either Dragon Age. Sorry but both Dragon Age games are just bad, lifeless, soulless, and bland, and nowhere near the upper echelon of fantasy RPGs of last gen like Skyrim and uhhh.... ...man last gen sucked for fantasy RPGs. The only benefit 2 had over the first was the improved combat system.

Oh god this is surprisingly good, I haven't been the biggest fan of the past few Wilco albums, but the songs from Jeff's new project, Tweedy (Jeff Tweedy of Wilco and his 18 year old son) have been really strong, Jeff is always at his best when he has someone to partner with (Jay Farrarr in Uncle Tupelo, Jay Bennett on early Wilco, and Jim O'Rourke with A Ghost Is Born and Loose Fur), so maybe he has that with his boy. Just pre-ordered the album on coloured vinyl.

Dragon Age Origins is really good for nights when I'm having trouble falling asleep.

I guess I just like fun in my video games.

Both DA:O and DA2 suck in different, but equal ways.

I agree with you in ME. ME2 and 3 are vastly better games, from both gameplay and storytelling perspectives than the original.

I had no idea so many Y's games were on PC. That's cool especially for a Japanese developer. Also, when the fuck did you get 19 platinums? That's wild, son.

Daayyum, Dragon Age, you lookin' good.

My PS4 back log is getting a little ridiculous for a system with "no games". Killzone, Octodad, Child of Light, Strider, Pixeljunk Shooter Ultimate, Steam World Dig, Watch_Dogs, Towerfall, plus some others I'm probably forgetting. I still really want to get Valiant Hearts and Transistor, but I'll hold off on those till I get at least Octodad and Watch_Dogs done.

What consoles have you guys got rid of? I sold my SNES to buy games like Jet Force Gemini and Donkey Kong 64... one of the great regrets in my life. As I mentioned, I also sold my PS2 (but I got another one a few years ago from my brother) and my 360. Otherwise I still have my NES and my N64, plus my Wii and PS3 and still connected to various TVs (though the Wii is essentially a Gamecube now).

Like his refusal to update the Assassins Creed poll. GOD DAMMIT ETHAN!

Yeah what a joke, there is literally maybe two good songs in there? And not enough selection as it is. I mean, it's a game set in Chicago, so of course you're going to put the Smashing Pumpkins in... but you pick NEW Smashing Pumpkins? Get the fuck out of here, Ubisoft. Ideally, you would be able to load your own MP3s in to the game.

That son of a bitch! I'm here for you, Revan.

I don't know, Bouchart seems like the only one of us brave enough to stand up to the bully that is Ethan.

The older I get, the more conservative I get. Still mostly liberal on social issues though.
