but with regard to the launch of Nintendo 3DS and Wii U not necessarily having progressed well

The WiiU I understand, but I'm under the impression that the 3DS is quite successful. Is Iwata just referring to the rough start that the 3DS had?

Have had zero problems with the game on PC. I wonder what the issues stem from.

Just curious, but did they ever promise uncapped or higher framerate? Most of the complaints seem to be centered around how it being inexplicably locked at 30 is totally unacceptable, but I don't really see why that's an issue beyond the entitlement of people who have spent thousands of pounds on a monster PC.

Like, if they promised 60 and delivered 30, sure, that's annoying. But if it was never mentioned and the argument is that it 'just shouldn't' be at 30 then that's kind of stupid.

3 different Game of the Years so far. Makes me super excited to hear the deliberations in a couple days.

Was this a thing? I don't use Twitch that much but I don't recall seeing much in the way of exhibitionists.

I'll always stick to Steam, just because their library is so much bigger and whatnot, but...

...and don't tell anyone I said this...

Origin is leagues ahead of Steam in design and usability in every way, from their front-end to their customer service. Across the board, it's a better, less-bloated, program.

Serious question: Were the lyrics to that song being sung in Japanese?

Because that would explain why nothing she said sounded like real words. I thought I could occasionally hear one or two words in English so I wasn't sure.

Also who controls Hatsune Miku? She's not a robot or an AI, there must be a puppet master right? is it one person or a group? What corporation is underneath those sparkling blue eyes?!

I know they are not. It was meant to be rhetorical. Kojima wrote all of it? I don't believe it because that last bit sounded like Vanquish's plot.

I think it's more that Dota 2 has been played since 2011. If we're leaving GOTY stuff that wide open - I played the original Bioshock again this year, and that would top my list again. Actual release date is pretty irrelevant if people have been playing for years already.

People can do what they like, but it seems redundant to name older games that you've played this year too in these lists.
