I actually heard the game is pretty good.

I'm not a fanboy, I just try to tip the balance in favor of logic and common sense.

What's sad is... i'm watching the DC storyline on youtube... and the writing isn't any worse then your average big event crossover.

Marketing? Name recognition? Voodoo?

Can someone explain to me why MK vs DC beat LBP in Nov and Dec NPD?

Because MKvsDC appeals more strongly to the fanbases of the consoles it appears on, perhaps?

Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

What do I hate about modern gaming? I hate tedium replacing challenge, complexity replacing depth, and domination replacing entertainment. I hate the outsourcing of mechanics to physics textbooks, art direction to photocopiers, and story to cheap Hollywood screenwriters. I hate the confusion of obsession with dedication, style with substance, new with gimmicky, old with obsolete, new with evolutionary, and old with time-tested.
There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.

LPB is a niche new IP, as opposed to an established (now) awful IP.

Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.

Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.
