Reading comments around the web, the gaming community apparently cares more about story than gameplay. Why is this a trend?!

    Is there more to it than that? That example doesn't sound interactive enough to really call it gameplay. It kinda sounds like we're taking the idea of "Walking a mile in someone's shoes" (That being Joel. Think that's his name.) and running with it. I've seen and read a pretty good amount about TLOU, and I haven't seen anything so groundbreaking that warrants overall game of the year.

    Game of the year for story? Sure, it can run away with the award. Then again the bar wasn't really that high. I'm a little worried about how the entirety of the development seemed focused on a good story rather than gameplay. I really don't like the idea that gameplay is supposed to serve the story, because than its treated like an afterthought, and gameplay is what sets games apart.

    I think we might be meandering away from my original point anyway, so I'm gonna lock this. If you wish to continue the discussion, PM me.

Just in case I'm being an idiot, is there any way to select what game communities show up on the main screen after booting up the wii u? I really don't care about wii sports club. If there's not then there should be.

    If I recall correctly, I think that's coming in a future update...not sure, though.

    Wait, there really isn't a way? I thought I just hadn't explored the settings and UI enough.

    That's what I thought too, and I looked and couldn't find a way. That is why I felt the need to ask. Hopefully it IS in a future update. Seems like something that should have always been there.

Had a sudden desire to play Kid Icarus Uprising. Beam Claws with Runnung speed+3 are great for chapter speedrun challenges.

The tears and rage going on at Gamespot's GOTY pick is just hilarious and delicious.

    Can't believe I'm acting so butthurt over butthurt people.. My brain can't stand modern "gamer's" logic. Wtf happened to the gaming community? It was bad years ago, but it's only getting worse.

    What's even funnier is that the argument almost every person who TLOU should've won is using is that it has a great plot, character development, and graphics. My favorite response so far is, "Don't worry, I'm sure it will win an Oscar for being such a great movie, but we're discussing games here."

Oh come on, seriously? Is it really that big of an issue between XBone and PS4? http://kotaku.com/why-it-matters-that-ps4-games-are-higher-resolution-th-1475165066

I believe I have 100% completed Link Between Worlds not counting hero mode. Good game.

    And I now realize that I have stayed up rather late doing so. Worth it.

Just noticed that if you charge a spin attack and walk into a wall, the Master Sword becomes the Master Butter Knife.

Another year, another Zelda Concert. Another guy dressed as a Tingle/Flava Flav mash up. I sat in front of him this year.

    They've never come to, or anywhere remotely near Missouri. But they've been to California like 9 times.

In any other game, defending a killer whale accused of murder in court would be considered ridiculous. In Ace Attorney, its DLC.

So tomorrow, I get my copy of Zelda: Link Between Worlds in the morning, and that night I am going to the Zelda concert in Chicago. Gonna be a good day.

made it to the 44th battle in super rotation before the game screwed me over. A volcarona with one boost to speed should not be slower than a tornadus. My speed was 116 plus a 50% boost.

    That tornadus would have needed a beneficial speed nature plus a perfect speed IV to be faster.

    The game does use perfectly bred Pokémon though. That's why they often have egg moves.

I've found that I really like rotation battles. Very fun.

It would appear he has returned, but for how long, we cannot say. The future shall be determined soon...
