Nintendo just seems to be pulling all the wrong PR moves lately. If they keep this up i can see them quickly becoming looked down upon by the gaming community. Personally with the way Nintendo has been running things and their attitude i have lost a lot of respect for them, this is just another drop in the bucket.
Well this is a odd turn of events. Nintendo is suddenly the anti consumer company out of the three console publishers. First blocking all lets plays of their games and now region locking their games. Both Microsoft and Sony have ditched region locking in order to allow for more freedom but Nintendo seems to be taking the "love it or leave it approach that Microsoft was taking not to long ago. Honestly if Nintendo keeps this up they could very well have just as bad as a rep as EA sooner or later.
As much as i love digital games (250+ games on steam) i am not looking forward to the all digital future. I prefer having something in my hands that i can hold and know that i have it. With digital games there is a thin layer of trust between you and the distributor, a layer that can easily be broken. I know when i lose my disk i know its my fault, from simply stepping on it to my house catching on fire i know that I messed up somewhere and i at least had some control over the situation and that it can be stopped. With Digital i feel like i have no control over my games and i don't. If the distributors account information gets messed up one way or another and i lose my games i know i couldn't do anything to stop it. Or even if my account got hacked, i may have had some control over it but that's just something that cant really happen with solid copies. Long story short if i can't get games i truly want or love in physical media i might just stop buying games altogether, its just to much of a gamble. I'm not buying games anymore. I'm investing in a company and renting a title, i no longer own my games.
I have been following the Ouya for some time and in all honesty I don't see this going anywhere big. It certainly has a appeal to some people but that group of people is still the minority. With many of its features also available on other systems, mainly smart phones and PC it will certainly lose some of its attraction. It may not bomb but i don't see this being a huge threat to the Xbone, PS4, or WiiU.
@Vidpci After Fallout 3 Bethsda got to work on Skyrim and Obsidion got to work on FO: NV, pretty much every single dev with Bethsda has been busy with a game or another so i think its going to be a while till we see something from any of the Bethsda guys.
Although this is supposed to be "pre-alpha" it looks like nothing has changed or is going to change from the mod. Only thing that looks different are the updated textures, everything else looks as broken as the mod and thanks to the Arma 2 engine its not really going to change. Arma 2 engine is filled to the brim with bugs and is incredibly clunky game play wise. In the end i see this being DayZ 1.5 "same art assists, bugs, clunky gameplay, and crappy engine as the last time, but everything looks prettier"
I know a lot of people have been tired of FPS's but the FPS Xcom looked really good, this just looks like a generic third person shooter now. The Xcom FPS seemed like a good spin off with new aliens, new setting, new story, and new weapons and tactical decisions. Now this looks like a generic third person shooter where you shoot aliens, sadly i think i will be skipping this over now.
As much as i love 40k and would love to play a 40K game with my friends seeing it being made by the Naughty Bear Dev doesn't exactly bring a lot of hope from me.
