@HydePark1980 It's not that third parties have a one dimensional view of Nintendo, it's that the Nintendo brand IS one dimensional. They only try to appeal to Nintendo diehards and little kids; whereas other console manufacturers aim to please a broader range of consumers in the market. Their strategy has been enough for them to get by in the past, but they haven't evolved as well as MS/Sony with a changing industry - their online offerings are just hopeless - and the major gamble on (IMO stupid) hardware this time is really hurting them. With the way they're playing the game, I think it's only a matter of time before they become a software-only company.
Skyrim was a briefly amusing sandbox and a horrible, horrible game. I regret buying it; the same goes for Oblivion. I will not be buying another Bethesda game.
@Bhemont @Yamakoichi @Vodoo The Painted Veil with Naomi Watts is also a decent Ed Norton film (not in the league of those, but still an enjoyable film).
@Monsterkillah I agree with your sentiments :) but I'm not sure. In the real world, this sort of idea seems perfectly sensible. With games and the internet though, there is an anonymity factor, so people generally have freedom to troll and be stupid. But yeah, I like the idea and think that it'll be interesting to see what happens at least.
@XxXDarkness0XxX Nah bro, sounds too hardcore. Blizzard wouldn't want to alienate the lucrative 4-7 year old market. It's probably going to be a (literal) slot machine MMO.
@colt_a @DarthLod I don't know whether it is dying or not, because I bought the game and for some stupid reason the game doesn't run on my PC (tried everything; it's just a minor incompatibility/bad luck that they'll never fix) but even if it were dying, that would be down to game design, not how they implemented their payment model.
