Backwards compatibility is actually really expensive based on the system. The ps1 is easier to emulate than the ps2. Backwards compatibility is also a rare thing even in the days of the PS2. The SNES couldn't play NES games. The N64 didn't play SNES games. the best we'd had was...

Only real issue is it's just a box. There's no special finishing touches for shape or anything, which probably also accounts for it's price.

I bought the SCV stick when it was still 200 USD and I love it. It's got just the amount of weight I want, and it's responsiveness is just about perfect. Good button spacing, and plenty of switches for fun times. I just bought a Hori mini stick and it's coming in the mail, but if this topic...

I think it's dope as hell. 3d is a gimmick that comes and goes. It's always at the very least fun to see where they take it.

Art imitates or expresses life in some form or another. Entertainment made for entertainment's purpose is pandering, and serves no purpose other than short bursts of self-fulfillment. Art can entertain, that is for sure. But it's not made with the purpose to entertain. It's made with the...

Consoles are made to be simplistic and convenient. Exclusives mean competition in that market. Means the technology has to strive to be better. Means eventually better on the consumers side. (usually. The last generation showed us how willing to be abused we are, and how willing to abuse the...

The changes to the platforming. People generally boil down to not liking the FLuDD. It's my favorite Mario game. Only quoted for having the best avatar ever. Ever.

No, I used an example. An example is not the same as a comparison, you may be 33, but I guess you still haven't learned the difference. Please try again.

You're not missing anything. Mechanically and gameplay-wise it tried to do too much. It was a sort of culmination of mechanics we've perfected this generation, but didn't do anything to stand out on it's own. The enemy AI ignored stealthy team AI, because the tech for the team AI just isn't...

It's not about political correctness. But, when Card dies, and money from his products is no longer going to hateful agendas, yes. It will be okay to partake in his works. From my understanding there's nothing inherently hateful about them. Just misguided and silly at times. But while he...

Hit him in the dick with a hammer. He overstepped his boundaries for the sole purpose of attempting to remind you of your "place". A parent doesn't do that. A bully does.

Sorry, dominant species bro. Science says the piggy don't know what's coming and wouldn't know the difference. Evolution says you're wrong. If eating meat is evil, eating a salad is just as evil since plants give us oxygen. I only agreed to EXTENUATING circumstances. A pig can't talk. A cow...

Somebody get this man/woman/it that should not be a beer. The first Fable did it right. You could specialize, or you could do everything. If you did everything, encounters were going to take a long time, for a long time, until your were properly leveled. If you specialized, you had to learn...

If the movie does well enough they will probably pay him more money to turn more of his books into movies. You cannot deny that. We're STILL making Friday the 13th movies. It's not a marginal support to watch this movie. It's a huge support, even if your reasons for seeing it have nothing to do...

A 30 to 60 jump just looks prettier to me. Smoother movement and all, but nothing too outstanding. A 60 to 120 is god damned mind blowing when I look at it.
