and you my friend are very annoying and disrespectful..... as much as i hate some brands fir personal reasons and beliefs (nintendo not being one of them i litteraly grew up with the brand).... I try to keep to a minimum the bashing of the people under their wings ...

second thank you at 29 going on 30 I have no need of recognition of my posts on a VG website to feel confortable about my integrity and credibility.... I was just answering a dumb post with a sarcastic one if you feel like the entire structure of my intelect seat on one post good for you....

 

second I never argued the confort of one over the other but the mere fact that the argument of number of hands against smartglass was dumb because to effectively and confortably use the WiiU tablet part with touch you also have to free one of your 2 hands from one side or the other from the "mechanical" part of the said pad.... then I merely argued that it would even be easier to use a separate tablet while having both hands on the pad buttonswith XB pad or for that matter any pad just becauseit's a physical fact I can have at least 4 fingers free at any moment on a pad but the only way I can touch a tablet with this would be with a separate tablet device........ did not say it was more confortable.... I even said lets not go there because of the ridicule of that line of argument....

and for the X time I'm part of the group that said that smartglass was a great add on and anybody saying it wasn't is either a moron with no clue or somebody with a lack of imagination.... but that it wasn't in anyway a killer app for thw WiiU pad.... I like to compare it to the bonus content on Blu Ray (smartglass) more than to the WiiU pad....

So before starting insulting and/or attacking people you know nothing about with argument that have little to no value beside being disrespectful and childish.... read properly.... there is a reason I bother reading every single page of a post before posting (I'll admit in most cases not all)

and while I think you have realy lame tacticts to achieve your own little auto satisfaction over actually trying to make the argument go forward I do agree 100% on the post above the one insulting me about iPads tablets with overlayed thumbstick being nowhere close to a pad..... you can't have the accuracy of laser (I pretty sure that is a laser sensor on the 360 pad not sure on the other) on a touch screen meant for fat highly innacurate human fingers... it's like comparing a surgical scalpel and a butcher knive and say both cut in the same way....

I'm sorry, I reread my gripe to you and it was pretty damn rude.

But I know using a 360 controller and a tablet is possible, it is just much more inconvenient.

1) You need to lay the tablet somewhere, odds are you will place it on your lap or beside you on the couch. You will twich, turn and bend everytime you need to use it. Now compare that with holding one device the hold time and having it right at reach exactly the moment you need it.

2) This does not take into account non-touch gaming interactions that involve the WiiUpad, such as what was shown in zombiU. You need the buttons and the pad at the same time for that. Sniper is the main argument here, but the uses are basically limitless.

I do find a sense of satisfaction in truth, so having misunderstood your sarcasm, I found dissatisfaction in how your post bended logic to fit your love for a company. But that's my fault for failing to read your sarcasm. But to be totally fair, it wasn't even funny, nor was it really meaningful in light of what he said. Basically you didn't even disprove him while being sarcastic.

Nobody's perfect, so I'll be less of a bad person, and you try to make posts that address what people are saying rather than what they aren't saying.

Again, sorry
 

no prob

about 2) I agree and said it also before I don't expect SG to do what WiiU pad does.... especially the things like augmented screen view like sniping.... even though I think it could be possible but you'd have  to dev the app so it knows exactly what phone/tablet you have and calibrate everything over it....

what I expect from SG is like I said a kind of super extra bonus feature like movies have on blu rays in better and more useful to the game (and not key element) for exemple being able to have maps displayed live, have inventory open, get data information like the codex in final fantasy but in a nicer more ebook like way with picture stats etc.... then have skill trees there with different explanation..... etc a ton of stuff you already have or use as a gamer but all accessible at the touch of a screen..... no more need to pause a game navigate through 10 tabs to get the formula of the superbad ass healing potion recipe..... or hours of surfing on game faqs or game wiki to know what stats that weapon have I just looted and its effect.... and one thing I can see is to have more hot keys too for some games.... I'm sure it would be easy to have a couple icons to have quick access to some extra potions a hotswap of equipment or just to switch between one shortcut layout on the d pad and the other.... 

anyway what I'm saying journalist like the forbes guy or eurogamers award.... are just morons or too stupid to see what potential extra stuff you can get from SG without even go all crazy on augmented stuff... just buy using the extra screen realestate to have stuff on for easy access....
