We can hope for the future

Okay. How exactly is this an argument again?
**EDIT** Granny, gimmicks are not bad. Gimmicks are tools. Bad gimmicks are bad.

I can't help but notice a lack of an argument here. If all you're going to say is "gimmicks are bad because gimmicks are bad because gimmicks are bad" then I don't think you have any place calling me stupid.

Notice how:
A) All I said was The Wii U only has the fucking tablet and its a gimmick
B) I never really called you stupid at all so yeah....
C) It seems as if your un aware of the defintion of gimmick......since you refuse to answer that question

Even if we go with taht definition the argument still ahs no bearing because what qualifies as a "gimmick" depends entirely on the person's point of view. Whether or not the gamepad is innovative or a useless gimmick varies from person to person. Your argument is still "this is bad because this is bad."@Granadico wrote:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gimmickwikipedia wrote:In marketing language, a gimmick is a unique or quirky special feature that makes something "stand out" from its contemporaries.

Oops I thought you were Toxic
And Toxic why should I explain to you why I don't hate the Wii U? I'm not the one trying to claim it sucks. If you're not going to explain why you think the Wii U is bad, then don't say it's bad. The burden of proof lies with the person making the claim.

Sega partnership?
on 5/19/2013, 3:45 pm
A lot of game releases and now they are talking about a Nintendo and Sega partnership. I am not as smart with gaming news, especially in Sega news as SXR, as you guys are, so you guys can converse among yourselves on what you think that will come out of this, better Sonic games? Better postive feedback for sonic besides the quote "Put him to rest , he's done, he's stale", and maybe even new publicity for the new Wii U. What ever you guys think.

It can't be worse than what SEGA doesn't with Sonic solo. Who knows, maybe this partnership will bore some beneficial fruit for the franchise. Or, it could send it spiraling downward into the destructive toilet water that Sonic has been treading in for years.

All I should say is, SA3 should stick to its roots and stop trying all the stupid ideas they've put into with the last gen consoles. : D

Yeah, if anything werehog would be more applicable to his regular state.

Why is that a DYKG? I felt that was common sense when the game first came out.
Anyways, I'm actually glad about Nintendo and SEGA partnering together. I feel Nintendo is really the only company of the big three who listen to the community from time to time. Unfortunately it's a little late now that no one really wants a new Sonic Adventure title, but at least SEGA might be considering the community more now.

Welp, the "six guardians" have been confirmed (Not sure about the guardian part though)

Six will rise from the Lost World. Are they friends or foes? Find out on May 29th.he Lost World. Are they friends or foes? Find out on May 29th.

They look pretty generic just looking at the silhouettes, but they're just silhouettes so there's not much to look at in the first place. Damn, only about a week until we finally get some substantial information about the game haha
Also people bitching about more characters because Sonic fans are fucking retarded
