;) Good spirit, ol' chum.
You're right, it's a matter of personal taste and fit. I wish more people would think of that before saying either is a 'bad' design. Maybe the very first superlarge XBox controllers were a mistake, but apart from that, they can't be that bad if they've survived a bazillion hours of playtime.
I *do* wish the DS3s would have a concave trigger top though. I have to track down my original Playstation Dual Shocks and see if I can hack those...
"Personally I can't play it for more than a couple of hours before my hands start getting sore because of how small the controller is."
You're probably holding it wrong. How many fingers on one hand are you putting on the L/R buttons? It should be one per hand, not two.
I'm 6'4" and do not have small hands. The controllers aren't too small.
Maybe you have fat hands?
Great for online multiplayer, but for fsake, will they ever come out with a decent single-player experience? 4 hours is a joke.
Fan blogs <> news. Nice to know that the enjoyable game was enjoyable, but c'mon. For the threeve-teenth time I suggest that a 'Blog' category be implemented here. We'll still see them in Pending, but at least stories like this will be in their place.
One word: "QTE"
(lulz)
Yet another reason to discount the nutjuice that comes out of this coconut's headcrack.
DEVELOPERS-DEVELOPERS-DEVELOP ERS.
Ballmer...dude... One word: Intervention. That show'll make you famous(er)!
(And why t.f. doesn't Major Nelson use something appropriate for his site? Honestly, it looks like a 1997 GeoCities' site. Dude! Get one of those free blogs and play with some themes! I almost puked out of my armpit from that pistachio nightmare.)
...
I do like the concept, but surely they could have done better than "QTE". The ratio of QTE to direct movement/action in UC2 isn't high enough for that summation.
My Five-Word Review of this "site" (also generically applicable):
Gotta Love Free Blog Services!
Note: A "blog" is not a "website", it's a "navel-gazing web presence".
All that effort put into writing a piece, and he consistently gets "biased" wrong.
It's "biased", not "bias". If you hold a bias against something, you're biased.
Cry for the children, for their minds get duller every day.
Well, that's that.
Nice fail flaming:
"When a mysterious artifact propels Drake on an expedition to find the legendary Himalayan valley of Shambhala..."

A good honest review. I like these guys. If they gave it a seven I'd still appreciate their gamer-centric review. Not bad at all, buttonmasher.
Agent-X: "Chess? What a piece of crap. It's just WoW but top-down and arcadish."
(Not that I'm saying Zombie Apocalypse is actually "Chess", but the comparison is just as stupid as his.)
Exactly. I'm sick of this same error cropping up. Unfortunately often it's in the source's title too.
"Sony are," and "Microsoft/are" etc is incorrect. It's "Sony is..." or "Microsoft is...".
There's a big difference between journalism and blogging.
How did this crap get approved when the story links to a file and not any verifiable source? C'mon. For all we know it's a loaded-PDF/JPG that's going to infect systems.
Link to sites, not files.
I'm more keen on the architecture and Escher-like feel to what I saw in earlier demos. If I can shoot and kill things with big guns in a neat-looking environment, then I'll give the game a shot. (And apart from the environment, the same criteria also apply to Gears. "Pretty" and "obnoxious" and fun as hell, I'm told.)
I don't have to marry a game to get what I want out of it. I certainly don't think people enjoyed Gears on the basis of it's conversational ...
That's one fat hand. Seriously. FAT. Dude. Pause your game and walk for a bit.
Pre-emptory edit: Disagreediots are most likely "hefty".
Sorry, but until this site/network refuses to respect IP/copyright issues insofar as they extend to print or whole-copy site property, I'll refuse to read these pieces.
Don't link to scans, and clamp down on "I'll post this in entirety to deny their traffic" links.
Otherwise N$G will re-enforce a most unwelcome perception amongst the online gaming community.
To the host site: If you're going to try to exhibit some sort of technology authority, at least display the image of the technology in question in its proper aspect ratio.
Fhat the wuck? That's shullbit.
