Unless there are other permanent combat pets in the game you can obtain without the toy, that seems kind of shitty.

This is what all of Nintendo's games should look like. They're such insular misers with both their hardware and software most of the time; they wouldn't have to chase customers with new hardware gimmicks each generation if this was the standard they applied to most of their games.

I have to wonder if a lot of this is dialogue specifically for these E3 demos. I can't imagine "I'm saying everything I'm doing as I'm doing it and telling you about my current quest objectives" is likely to be in many final games. At least I hope not.

Ahh, cheers. Will definitely give this one a miss. I'm always reminded of Roger Ebert's criticism of games as art all those years back. He claimed games lacked authorial intent, we all had a good laugh at the old guy 'not getting it'... and then Minecraft happened. Guess he got the last laugh.

Never touched a CoD game. This may just change that. Still could be improved by the player character shutting up for more than 30 seconds but I really don't get the hate-fest over this game.

STO had a kernel of a good idea with the space combat (sadly, every other capital ship combat game out there makes the mistake of trying to be an FPS, rather than letting you lock-on and focus on piloting and complex buff cycles) but the rest of that game has been a joke since day one and has only gotten worse as PWE/Cryptic has gotten greedier (they've just announced two more console port jobs after they recently dropped OSX players cold and continue to ignore almost every low-level bug in the Windows version, ugh).

I was expecting this to be one of those fake trailers before the main event, Grindhouse-style. Nope.

Someone was a really big fan of those Elder Scrolls Online trailers.
