Yeah, that was about 3 days too late, ESA.

For all of you non-believers, this is proof that there is a God.

Thanks for all the great podcasts, guys. Really looking forward to hearing this one!

How about "floundering" sales, as opposed to "foundering?" First sentence.

Great review. Well done, Griffin.

I played lots of Mario Kart Wii over the Thanksgiving holiday. I'm about ready for some new Mario Kart goodness!

@JasonA What screw-up? As I understand it, the main difference in aiming is that they went for "all digital" aiming this time, rather than 8-directional analog aiming, as had been in previous games. If anything, technically, the shift should have been toward _more_ accuracy. Could be wrong on those details, though, but that's what I heard somewhere...Gamers With Jobs, I think...

As I stated, I'm just glad they recognize that there are people out there that aren't pleased with the changes they made to the aiming, so ND is working to correct it for those people while leaving the existing structure intact for those that don't care (like me).

They should absolutely be congratulated for increasing value for their customers and fans.

Glad to hear stuff like this. Just adds to Naughty Dog's cred as one of the best developers in the industry.

Personally, I didn't have a huge problem with the aiming, when compared with UC2, but to have an OPTIONAL change in place is always a good thing. Well done, folks.

@Kayonesoft Probably. I'd prefer a natively-developed version, I guess. To be honest, I haven't messed with emulation very much on my phone.

Android? Please? I'd be happy to buy this game on yet another platform...provided it's a platform I own...

@The Grand Nagus To be fair, I haven't been following this for the last month or so, but last I heard, they were shooting to have the F2P stuff done by the end of October. Perhaps I'm mistaken about that. Either way, I guess I'm just impatient. :-)

I've got one character maxed out and another one half-way up the tree. I'm ready to play more (and pay for that extra character slot), but I either a). want new content, or b). want the F2P so I can put my second character through the paces I've already trod. It's definitely a great game, but I just don't want to do the subscription for it anymore.

I must say, I'm getting really tired of all these posts without a definitive release date. They can post all of this stuff all they want, but until they tell me when the switch-over happens, I honestly don't care.

:-(
