Epic Mickey 2 on PS3 supports Move, but no Kinect on Xbox

Mar 23rd 2012 1:31PM (Joystiq)
It's not surprising that they would leave out Kinect functionality. They would have to do some different stuff in product for it to work properly. Move is essentially the same make up as the wii so they really don't need to do extra work for it to be move compatible.

Mass Effect 3 player feedback spawns 'content initiatives,' details in April

For me, I am fine with the A, B, C endings because I knew Shepard couldn't resolve everything so perfectly. I just want to know why my squad members who got blasted and disappeared suddenly end up on the Normandy. That stuff makes me insane.

The thing that is such a punch in the face is that the game was so enjoyable and live up to my expectations until the end. I hope that there is something down the line to continue the story. But if there isn't I will never believe a thing Bioware has to say again.

@TheDarkWayne I agree with everything you jut said.

And clearly you have nothing better to do than make personal attacks at people you don't know because they disagree with you. Also, I find it ironic for someone to challenge my intelligence when they don't finish sentences with fully articulated words. "2deep4u"... really?

Also, since you're so enlightened. tell me how my squad who got blasted on earth ended up on my ship and stranded somewhere across the galaxy? Because I am apparently not well read enough to understand it without theories of indoctrination/hallucinations that Bioware has not bothered to comment on.

@TXYeti It may be entitled whining for a good chunk of the players but not all. It isn't like a Star Wars thing where people are crying because things didn't turn out the way they wanted. For me, and for some, it is a matter of things that happened don't make sense. The key thing being the location and status of characters at the end of the game. They offer no explanation or closure to the story. The new Star Wars trilogy may not be as good as the original and may not have panned out the way fans wanted, but Lucas did a good job and tying up the loose ends. Bioware, didn't do that. That is why people are mad. That is why I am mad. I don't want a Disney ending... I don't even need a different ending. I just want to know how it makes sense. Because to me and a lot of others, it doesn't.

I don't need a happy ending. I just want to know why the ending doesn't make sense.

SPOILER: Like why does my squad teleport to the ship and why does the ship teleport away from the fight?! END SPOILER

There is speculation about there being DLC later for an explanation for everything but for me that is a bigger jab to the jaw... they deliberately gave me a crap ending just to charge me for one that makes sense later? That's crap... I started to play through ME1 again with the end in mind to see if I can make sense of it. So far the element of synthetics vs organics forever being at odds is pretty well established. The AI from 1 that you find on the Citadel funneling credits from Quasar machines says almost verbatim that Synthetics will never have a use for organics and organics will always try to destroy them if they can't control them. But the whole point of Shepard's actions is that if you do things right you can prove that isn't true. Making peace between Tali and Legion in ME2, the Quarians and the Geth in ME3, and all of the stuff you can do with EDI in both ME2 & ME3 shows you can fight against that. But the end basically says "Nope, doesn't matter how much of a peacemaker and smooth talker you have been; you can't solve this Reaper problem that way."

The Day-1 DLC crap... :/ I bought the CE so I got it with my game. Javik was a nice addition to the game but hardly important. I didn't take him on many missions because between my longtime favorites Liara, Tali, and Garrus... there wasn't really room for him.

But regardless of the shortcomings ME is still an amazing series with great lore and characters. ME3 had great gameplay and wonderful interactions. I seriously choked up several times during the game because the emotion was so heavy. An ending, can't ruin it for me. It can anger me and it can leave me feeling cheated but it doesn't make me care less about the franchise. If they do come out and offer a fix or an epilogue than my hurt feelings can probably disappear. But Bioware seriously is going to lose my interest if they don't do something.

Looking forward to this. Was one of my favorite Dreamcast games.

Maybe I'm missing something here but if your PSP games are really important to you why don't you just keep your PSP?

ESRB and Penny Arcade team up on new ratings campaign

I worked at Best Buy over the holidays and trying to explain the difference between something like a DSi and a 3DS to a parent or grandparent was super frustrating. Plus having parents look at me dumbfounded as I explained that GTA or MW3 was not a good game for their six year old was priceless. "So you're saying this game is really violent and has sex and drugs in it.... and that's bad?" *facepalm*
