It's much too late for that. People ARE emotionally invested in gaming, just as some people are emotionally invested in sports. It's been a reality of gaming as far back as I can recall. I see no harm in it, just people supporting their platform in the most rabid way possible and, frankly, I find it all highly entertaining (just as I did at school when people were arguing the benefits of C64, Spectrum and CPC)
@fanboybeatdown socially inept? You mean like someone who would blacklist a console just because of the behaviour of one group of people in a comments section? And Aspergers fanboys? You disgust me. People with low-mid spectrum autism have just as much ability and right to communicate as others and, I dare say, you've come across at least a few intelligent people online who have a form of autism, you inconsiderate bigot.

@Metallox I don't agree with Nintendo doing it no, I think it would send all the wrong signals, but I don't think it's a horrible idea, it has worked in the past after-all. Maybe I'm just being over - sensitive to the word horrible, it seems a tad extreme. But I get your point and I understand Eonjay's; I agree with him in principle, but in practice it would be a messy setup for Ninty.
@lilbroRx I'll have to disagree with that one. Nintendo has always had a strong youth audience. That's nothing to be ashamed of; in the early days before Pokemon transitioned to the preserve of a more mature audience, it thrived by selling to the child/pre-teen demographic. Also, the handful of Nintendo-themed cartoons shown on childrens stations since the late 80s have primarily been tasked with selling Nintendo products to children. Yes, it's a family company, but it's ...
There is actually precedent for this concept and it has worked rather successfully (CBM created split - demographic units in the 90s). Although I don't think it's the right idea this time around, I'm not arrogant enough to fully discount it. Unlike some.
That's a very logical assumption. Was thinking much the same.
Have tested, and the sub accounts do appear to share this privilege.
They're. No need to thank me, just pay it forward ;) Anyway, must dash; somewhere, someone is making a mild spelling or grammatical error. Pedantic-Man, away!
Yup, he came back in what they refer to as a 'tiem masheen'. It's all very well documented in the archives of the future (the back of a soggy beermat in Chiswick)
@angelicsnow. Strange that you are eager to defend emmario AND you've misspelled some of the same words. Your writing style is also near identical... you guys must REALLY be on the same wavelength. Hmm.
On topic, Tomb Raider Definitive is shaping up to be great, looking forward to this one :)
Agreed. The display of immaturity here is ridiculous. People seem to think you aren't entitled to your opinion. As for the personal attacks from jokesonyou specifically, it makes me ashamed to be a gamer. I dare say I'll enjoy titanfall immensely when it's released, but like many others who want the best for this new game, I'll only get attacked if I attempt critique... hang in there and maybe, just maybe people will grow up a bit and see the irony of their behaviour towa...
Aye, good job skynet wasn't powered by cloud ai, otherwise John Connor could've just stood still and beaten a t800 to death with a shoe.
I don't really have a console bias one way or the other, and I definitely wanted a wiiU from the moment I saw it. The issue holding me back has always been the library and I'm not alone. While ninty's gameplay always excels, the atmosphere of their games just doesn't gel with me anymore. Maybe that makes me less of a gamer, I don't know, but the pastel colours and sugary stories just dont appeal anymore. I understand that the big N have a few mature titles on their system,...
No, pregnant pause is a thing, here's the def:
A pregnant pause is a pause that builds up suspension in the listener/viewer, for a greater dramatic (especially comic) effect of what follows after the pause.
Agree with the rest of ur comment btw ;)
@darx read my post. Money isn't an issue, rather the regularity of it. Anyway, it's a moot point; I also prefer consoles for mainly illogical and personal reasons and, as everyone has their own preferences, maybe it's about time we just accepted that, rather than trying to {understand, counter, convert}
Well, there's people like me for one. I get paid on a per - contract basis and have 3 kids to feed, so I don't always know when I'll have spare cash. With that level of uncertainty, I can't always do my rig justice in terms of keeping up to date. For people such as myself, having a console is a great way to play the latest games without worrying about the cost of upgrading. If, however, I get a lucrative enough contract, I can consider adding to my PC. Everyone had a prefe...
Did the arrogance come with your gpu, or did you have to cultivate it separately? People love their consoles, much like you enjoy your rig. I choose to play both, but even if I didn't I wouldn't understand the need to be such a d'bag about it...
I thought infamous looked a tad run of the mill when I first saw it. When I played it though, it all came together. These games have a singular feel to them that I find addicting and fresh. You should try it :)
I know what I've heard about shadow fall's ai, but it just doesn't fit with what I've seen. To be fair, I'm no expert on ai, just a gamer of 30-years; and I saw killzones ai do some pretty human things, especially on the more severe difficulty levels...
Peace and condolences to his wife and family. I'm not religious, at all; but if there is a reward for doing right by your fellow man, this fellow deserves it.
