    An actual answer for this question, for me anyway, is: "I have no idea and I just casually accept that it has happened and that many people will die alone and miserable."

    River City Ransom has already been made, so I don't care where the console wars go from here, nor do I care to listen to the laments of the neckbearded in regards to change/time. Theirs is a lost and depressing cause.

    Just give me something engaging and challenging and I will be your patron.

    YOU HEAR THAT, VIDYA? DO GOOD STUFF AND I WILL BUY THAT GOOD STUFF

    Once the Dreamcast died and Shenmue was left cupping its balls at the city dump.

    It's the internet, man. Spend a day over on he-man.org and you'll see how posting from the safety from your home has made humanity into a bunch of overly opinionated jerks.

    It's the snarky people who can't tell the difference being posting on a message board and talking in real life that scares me.

    What youse gais said, but also add that Game systems now need financing and you get a lot more of the "it's not what I have so it sucks" bullshit.

    The Wii did what I needed it to in my opinion. DKCR was worth the purchase of the Wii alone. I'm serious about that.

    Am I sad that Nintendo screwed the pooch a bit? Yeah. But I was able to get months of non stop play with friends with Wii Sports, Mario Galaxy 1 and 2, DKCR and Umbrella Chronicles 1 and 2. Would the Wii be a sore spot for me if I didn't have access to the 360/PS3? Probably moreso yes.

    I really didn't care about the SNES/Genesis rivalry. I think it was right around 2005, when the Wii didn't live up to its promise, and new IPs were not delivering or being delivered.

Not directed towards anyone in particular but just reading through comments on Reddit and ngaf and it's fucking ridiculous how entitled some of these fucks are.
    There's definitely a sense of entitlement, and those "it's not for me so it's shit" people, but that's hardly gaming-centric. I can admit that 99% of the Kinect shit is RETARDED and I HATE it...but not because it's not for me.

    DISNEYLAND ADVENTURES - Seriously? This is literally the Kinect Adventures game with a new skin. Does it piss me off because its not for me? Nope, it pisses me off because its lazy. Kids can play games. Real games. Not these shit mini-games. We grew up on Metroid and Castlevania and REAL content in our games. Developers need to make some of those games. The industry is split into SHOOTER SHOOTER SHOOTER and mini-games for children.

    While I shit on Nintendo for not innovating like I believe they should and are capable of, they at least meet that middle ground with Mario, Zelda, Pikmin (PLEASE BE A NEW PIKMIN TODAY), Animal Crossing, etc. So we get these horrible mini-game collections that will hurt the industry in the long run. We grew up on Ninja Gaiden and can tolerate a game giving us a challenge...these kids will not be able to stand dying in a game in 10 years, and will abhor any challenge and expect to walk through games. How will that be fun, or keep anyone's attention? We're heading to a shrinking market because of this SHOOTER MINIGAME bullshit.

    Where as something like Sesame Street is fine. It's a game for little kids. Like 3-4 year olds. My first game, teach me something. I think it looks great because it's NOT just a boring mini-game collection with no content behind it, this is a game for the actual mini-game crowd that will make their tiny toddler brains work and learn them some counting.

    And I still rock my Dreamcast but I can admit that the PS2 was also a better fucking machine in the long run.

    It's not about the fights. As much as I give Ceej shit for being a Genesis kid, I can admit there were games on that system that the SNES just didn't have and I wanted.

    This isn't even about the Kinect stuff. I mean that shit is hilarious cause if you don't have a Kinect it doesn't even effect you. It's for those of us that drunk bought that thing.
