Agree... Nintendo is predictable and old news. Everyone should have a Nintendo console once in their lifetime to play their franchises, but once you've owned one you're done. All they ever do is re-release the same games over and over and over.

When my son gets a little older, I'm sure I will get him a Nintendo console as his first one - I think everyone should start out with the big N. But for me, the N64 was the last time I had any interest in Nintendo.

At least they didn't pick ME3... that game doesn't even deserve to be nominated.

Never heard anything about Journey until IGN & GS picked it for GOTY...

@franizarduy Well, it remains to be seen about GTA V.

But your argument doesn't really mean anything... on consoles you're not going to be playing Starcraft 2, Guild Wars 2, etc...

All platforms have their exclusives, PC included. It's just a matter of preference which exclusives you like.

@ptnull I'm married with kids and enjoy PC gaming just fine (I play on my couch with a controller on my PC)...

A PC built in late 2006 based around an 8800 GTS can still run all games at console settings (720p res, 30fps average, low settings) or better.

@ssj2los @ptnull @rktPYZQShWz @fluffy_puppy666 I love how defensive console-only gamers get when you point out to them that their precious graphics are crap and that if they actually want to be getting good graphics they should be on the PC...

I don't have anything against consoles, but the PC really has zero downside to a console except that it has a slightly higher entry cost (~$500 for a budget gaming PC). However, that more expensive entry price sticker gets you correspondingly better graphics than the consoles have.

I also find it funny that some console gamers will have absolutely no issue dropping $1-2k on their HDTV but then complain about how supposedly expensive PC gaming is... hypocrite much?

@rktPYZQShWz @fluffy_puppy666 Console graphics are muddy 720p junk

I guess it looks nice for more super low res 720p junk that this generation keeps churning out...

Thousands of people still play this game? I thought for sure that people would get bored of an auction house simulator a long time ago...

@UraharasBankai hahahahahahahahahahahaha Reach for GOTY.... that's funny right there

@Fighting40 This is common practice for big AAA games. Review sites get early copies to post reviews in order to drive hype/sales of the eventual game itself.
