  The second post was smh worthy because it is a post deep in denial.
Unless that poster is overly sensitive of when other companies' ideas, I don't see the big deal. There are only so many ways to design an ergonomic controller that has four face buttons, a D-Pad, two control sticks, and shoulder buttons.  It's possible that Nintendo's controller would look a lot different had Microsoft used a controller that looked like a ds3, but I don't really care.

It is interesting that the Gamecube controller seemed to use the dualshock as a template and this controller is even more derivative of the 360 controller.  That said, the Super NES is the ur-template of all these controllers and it's a field where companies constantly use each other's ideas anyway.

The thing is that Nintendo fans make such a huge stink whenever someone apes their beloved that now that the shoe is on the other foot (not just the controller, but some of those ideas for Wii U are similar to stuff from Vita) their reactions and defense are so hilarious.

Wii U's Message Board vs. Vita's Twitter App


Vita's applications usually have a nice circular button on the right hand corner too. Like Wii U, every Vita game also has a quasi-message board area in Live Area.

Also, Wiiverse's whole "See what people on your friends list and around you are playing!" is straight up Near for Vita.

I don't really care that they're doing this since a good idea is a good idea no matter who does it. Besides, this shit isn't important. No one's going to remember these things in a few years anyways.

Not really. The Zombrex mechanic gets pretty annoying, IMO. And I don't really like his daughter.

survivors in dr1 took more work, but as long as you understood how they worked you could look after them pretty well.

otherwise, dr1 had better map, story, gameplay, items and shit.

People sure get touchy about industry job shedding. It happens. Granted it's closer to home than the boot making factory in China that shut down because the owner couldnt afford the $5 a month salary bill, but there shouldn't be holy cows on any message board.

Momo, the point is that we're talking about people's livelihoods. The fact of the matter is that no matter what company we're talking about in practically any industry, losing one's job sucks and is nothing to celebrate. This is particularly true when you're motivation to celebrate is something as juvenile as "I didn't like their video games."

"I didn't like their video games."
It's a video game forum, the main motivation of people posting is videogames, not the economic well being of others. Does it suck people got laid off? Yeah it does. At the end of the day what people care about in this particular context is if "anything of value was lost" to gaming. I find faux concern and condolence trolls to be far more infuriating than some guy speaking from his own frame of interest and value set.

But even in that context, why is a crappy company/studio going away a good thing? "Yay! Slightly fewer games that offend my sensibilities will be available for purchase that I wasn't going to buy anyway." I think -- as far as I can tell -- a fair amount of the people who post in the vein of "dude, people just lost their jobs, shut up" are people who have seen that kind of thing happen personally (whether it's in the video game industry or not). This may be surprising to you Momo, but many people can kind of relate to finding themselves in hardship not because of something they did, but because of poor management. And that's nothing to celebrate.

Company makes poop games//good games, games disappear, average guy = "oh well nothing oh value lost"//"Aww man I liked their games". On a video game board I consider that a normal response.

Edging one way like that guy was actively celebrating that people lost jobs is bizarre and dastardly sure, however it's not worth making a big deal over someones lack of empathy. Not all of us can empathize, -or even want to- empathize with most of the crap that happens everyday. I empathize with the people who lost their jobs here, because I have friends in the industry and friends that have been hit with layoffs but I dont force my sensibilities on others.

What pisses me off about this is the concern trolls jumping on and hassling someone for not emphasizing//caring about what they do.I find that kind of shit to be worse.

To me, it depends on the degree. Yeah, I don't think it makes for good discussion when people feign outrage just to ride around on their high horse and claim some moral high ground. However, I also don't see anything wrong with taking issue with the "good riddance" sentiments and attempting to point out why taking glee in the dismantling of a studio isn't necessarily something people should take delight in. Given that the average age skews a bit older than 13, I don't think it's ridiculous to encourage an understanding that, although less crappy games is arguably a good thing, less jobs -- especially in these tough times -- isn't.

Basically, I understand your point at disliking the prevalence of righteous indignation. However, in my opinion, you have picked the wrong horse here to illustrate that point.

Just to reiterate I find his opinion bizarre and tactless. However not being able to understand people value different things is way more of an issue and poisons just about any well it comes in contact with. There's also the factor of not wanting be hassled on a video game forum I use to pass the time when at work about morality and other bullshit I wade through all day long irl.

I get your point as well and agree this is a shitty horse to back, I just see this nonsense far too often.
