You guys are using the word mascot way too euphemistically. I guess Blinx the Cat is Microsoft's mascot?

Mascots have been dead since the 90's.

 

Edit: Oh and I love how LBP's floaty mechanics are being slandered by the same frauds who probably defend and welcome the broken, buggy, piece of trash known as Super Mario 64 with open arms.

I jizzed over Super Mario 64 back in '96 and I loved it on DS back in '04 but I watched a Twitch 120 star speedrun last night.  The mechanics are still solid and it broke new ground back in the day.  It's not so great now.  I can respect its achievements though.  It ushered in a lot of stuff we still have today.

LBP is a good game and it's gorgeous to look at.  I think it would have done better if Sackboy were defined, though.  It was a design choice but I think it hurt the game more than it helped.  And the game IS a bit glitchy and the mechanics floaty but I can forgive it.  It's trying to do a lot of things at once.  Any game that has realistic physics is going to have unexpected results sometimes.

Played SM64 a few years ago on emulator. Yeah.... no good. I rarely ever not finish a game but I couldn't see myself going back to it after a few hours of mucking around.

To be fair, I'm talking right back to 1997 on the console itself. Nobody cares about Aaron Rodgers' opinion of the 1982 Superbowl.
