Not for nothin', guys, if you have no interest in the tablet controller, then the Wii-U probably isn't for you.

The problem is, much like Wii, it will no doubt have some fantastic games in spite of the retarded controller.

The hardware has sucked since N64 but they've still had some amazing games. Few and far between lately, though.

I tried Xenoblade Chronicles on Dolphin last night. Can't make it playable with a Logitech Dual Action Gamepad or Mouse/Keyboard. The controller works, but it's a clusterf**k no matter what configurations I tried. No clue how people manage to use Dolphin without a WiiMote/Sensor bar.

I did it months ago. Make sure the game is set to classic controller and there should be no problems at all. Unfortunately the game has framerate problems in some of the larger battles.

Obsidian may well be the developer I'd most want to see not restricted by a publisher. Not enough to buy into this whole kickstarter thing, but still.

Meanwhile Morgan Stanley was found to be colluding to fix prices with an energy company in New York. The cost to the people of New York was $300,000,000. Morgan Stanley itself made $22,000,000 from the deal.

They were fined $5,000,000.

It sucks. Absolute campfest, terrible map design, controls are clunky, interface is awful.

I have a PC/Console question. Games with multiplayer on both consoles and pc's tend to loose people playing multiplayer quite rapidly with exception of online games (MMO's/Battlefield series).
Example is that Saints Row 3, Borderlands, GTA 4, Dead Island seem to have little to no multiplayer players anymore, but console wise seem to keep going. Has anyone else noticed this?

This is the problem with waiting for games to hit $20 before buying them. If you get games close to release you shouldn't have any problems finding players.

Only one of those fallen sites I ever visited regularly was Voodoo Extreme.

When VE3D sold out to IGN I moved on to Blue's. Just imagine all the insightful commentary you'd have missed had that never happened.

Jolly good, I just brought down Diablo with my sorceror. On my way through hell I acquired two Hellslayers (seriously that's the third unique weapon I've found two of now) and, drum roll please... Naj's Light Plate! Huzzah!

I've been playing Diablo 1 for a few days now and I've found ~5 uniques (one is a fucking dupe!). On my warrior I got unique leather armor from the butcher and unique robe from leoric in the same game

There's a big difference between "crappy" and "ugly."

Which makes FTL what, exactly? Crugly?

I was being facetious - the design requirements of the F2P model obviously preclude making the game singleplayer-friendly. My statement was supposed to be the equivalent of "I'll embrace the F2P model when hell freezes over".

Yeah the problem with F2P games is they are free for a reason (that being they aren't good enough to get people to buy them). I've tried a lot of them anyways (hey it's free and my time is worthless) and at least PoE manages to be really unobtrusive about it. F2P games love to bombard you with ads and shiny buttons urging you to spend money. But hey, this is as people keep stating still a beta so maybe they just haven't gotten to that yet.

Really the only F2P I've tried which can stand up to boxed games is Blacklight, but they can get a little overzealous on the P2Win front at times.

Yeah but I question the ability to do anything more than what Grimrock itself did. There's only so many types of puzzles and hidden wall switches Grimrock is capable of, and the original campaign managed to cover most bases.

I don't care if a small game doesn't have the latest and greatest with ambient occlusion and tessellation and per-pixel lighting, but *any* game needs to have good art direction. This looks like something from newgrounds circa 2005. If you are going to limit yourself to simple visuals you can at least find somebody who can do it elegantly and stylistically.

Until someone figures out how to make a F2P singleplayer game where I am not being pitched to, sold to, or forced to grind for shit so I get frustrated and break out the wallet I am going to continue to despise F2P games. That's just me though - it's a personal pet peeve.

F2P is for online, service-type games where players are going to keep coming back and the developers hope to (eventually) snag some money from them. F2P and singleplayer would be the dumbest idea ever outside of some endlessly replayable game like Civilization or Sim City.
