Except it is too expensive and esoteric ... try explaining to your mom why Kinect is worth an extra $100.<br /><br />Sony will probably get a broader range of gamers, while Microsoft's gamble on non-gamers is probably a dud.Joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04260309971152360156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9611352.post-90155989055975223382013-06-11T06:45:24.738-07:002013-06-11T06:45:24.738-07:00In the previous generation of consoles, it seemed ...In the previous generation of consoles, it seemed that Microsoft came in humbled from their experience launch the XBOX, and Sony came in arrogant. They were going to launch a new processor architecture, new video disc format, and, oh yeah, maybe their box would play some games too. In the end they were starved for titles at launched, had a big miss on the online aspects of their games, and ended up starting way behind. They lacked focus and they suffered for it.<br /><br />This generation it is Microsoft that is showing the arrogance and lack of focus. With Sony, they focussed too much on Cell and BluRay (though BR wasn't a bad long term investment). But this generation it is Microsoft who's too obsessed with Kinnect. The XBox costs $100 more largely because of Kinnect being included. <br /><br />Their bet is that the gee whiz value of the Kinnect is what will sell the console. Maybe that would be true if it didn't make the console $100 more and if they hadn't completely blown the call on DRM. Also there's some chance the Kinnect hurts them because people get a little spooked by a camera watching them 24/7. <br /><br />Last night I pre-ordered a PS4. I was leaning towards the PS4 for my next console, but I wanted to see what Microsoft had in store. My conclusion is that if I want to play video games, I should buy a PS4. Seems simple enough to me.<br /><br />Steve Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11956603993158366950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9611352.post-33648174349790622872013-06-10T23:16:34.607-07:002013-06-10T23:16:34.607-07:00Sony had a solid presentation with customer-friend...Sony had a solid presentation with customer-friendly policies. It's sad that people (including me) were so happy about their used games and online policies, but this is where we are right now. We never had a 360 and we won't be getting an Xbox One -- both systems seem to be geared towards bros who like sports games. The PS3 and now the PS4 seem to be marketing to a broader audience of gamers.<br /><br />On another note, super excited about the Mirror's Edge announcement today.Brinstarhttp://acidforblood.net/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9611352.post-69320332444080225122013-01-21T23:10:33.926-08:002013-01-21T23:10:33.926-08:00That's not everything.

Yahtzeee isn't saying that gamers were wronged, he is saying gamers are too stupid to adequately judge a writer's work and should just accept that the original vision must be preseved.<br /><br />That the ending wrongs gamers in any way is something the press has refused to acknowledge. My only argument against your position is that DLC offers publishers a chance to do a great many things, and providing an alternate ending is certainly one of them. That it might be somewhat bittersweet I do not deny, but it would still be preferred.<br /><br />My real concern is that Bioware will offer DLC which pleases nobody. It will add in some scenes to clarify things like whether or not most of the galaxy was destroyed in the destruction of the relays. But it will keep the stupid cosmic kid, the space magic and the idiotic last minute explanation about synthetics which makes the entire plot seem convulated and shallow.<br /><br />The haters will be angry because Bioware chaned anything at all, apparently putting the snowy white integrity of game writing at risk. The gamers will be angry because the ending will be twice as long and just as stupid.Joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04260309971152360156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9611352.post-3678966525268588792012-04-26T08:48:56.235-07:002012-04-26T08:48:56.235-07:00The problem people like Yahtzee have with the comp...The problem people like Yahtzee have with the complaints are simple. No matter what you (the people upset about the ME3 ending) deserve, it doesn't change the fact that you paid $60, got bamboozled, and are endlessly complaining about it. Should things have been better, yes. But they aren't it was a disappointment. And calling for them to go back to the drawing board and redo it is not only a clunky way to solve the problem of a bad ending to anything, video game or not, it's also not a good in principle. You can't make them do anything, you can either not buy their products or, having already paid for it, be angry at then for not keeping their promise. <br /><br />How it should be: Mass Effect 3 should have been better.<br /><br />Reality: ME3 screwed up in the final hour. It wasn't the first piece of media to do this, nor will it be the last. Mourn for what could have been and move on instead of vilifying the developers to do what they should have done the first time around, but didn't for whatever reason the had. Even if you got something now, it'll be bittersweet. The memory has been tarnished.Provenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09525961995208240771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9611352.post-78602988696831974952012-04-25T21:22:58.813-07:002012-04-25T21:22:58.813-07:00Well, there's an interesting intersection ther...Well, there's an interesting intersection there.<br /><br />If the movie press treated Star Wars fans the way the gaming press is treating Mass Effect fans - they would have called them an idiotic rabble of entitled cockheads for hating Jar-Jar.Joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04260309971152360156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9611352.post-2273570172673716412012-04-25T21:05:07.433-07:002012-04-25T21:05:07.433-07:00#ebertwasright#ebertwasrightSteve Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11956603993158366950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9611352.post-24477617183803948632012-03-13T21:11:31.512-07:002012-03-13T21:11:31.512-07:00Heh.
