Rather waste my money on "big budget mediocrity" than a dead console
I'd rather spend money on good games but okay have fun with that.

Has the hipster train rolled around to pretending that Arkham Asylum and City aren't amazing?
It isn't pretending. Arkham Asylum is pretty good, not great, Arkham City is unfocused mediocrity suffering from too many villains and plot threads and gameplay that can't possibly survive in an open world setting.

They all are. You bitch about being driven into the ground yet can't wait for more samey Nintendo sequels. Lawl.
No, they really aren't. They're all criminally uninteresting. The thing about Nintendo sequels is that unlike the rest of the game industry, these games still stand out as unique and interesting despite being long running franchises, primarily because none of them are trend riding bullshit that's been driven into the ground and the sequels tend to come infrequently and have a ton of polish. Mario Kart 8 for example. I've never been a fan of Mario Kart, and I've never been able to get into the series, yet I'm genuinely excited for Mario Kart 8 because it's so incredibly rare these days to see a game so crisp, bright, colorful, and focused on being fun. It helps that it seems to be fixing all of the problems I've had with the series.
Plus, the Wii U has Bayonetta 2, the sequel to one of the best action games ever made and one of my all time favorites.
