The original Xbox controller was a huge monstrosity. Even for someone with big hands like me. When they released the 2nd version of it .. it was pretty much perfect. The 360 and XB1 controllers are pretty similar and still feel really good.
Sony got gradually better. The Ps1 controller sucked. PS2 wasn't bad, and PS3 was pretty good. The PS4 one is really good and it feels like they finally have it fine tuned.
Eh, I liked the original Xbox controller, but I have big hands and very long fingers (4" middle fingers for scale). My wife, and several friends we played with, were never comfortable with them, though.

You were one of the few because Microsoft realized their error pretty early on when they released the "S" controller less than a year after they launched the system because the original controller was pretty much hated by everyone. I'm all for bigger controllers, but that thing was way to big/bulky. The controller they have now that they have only changed on a minor scale the last few iterations is pretty much perfect.
How is franchise mode on The Show? Awesome and indepth? MVP Baseball 2005 was the last baseball game I owned and it is still probably the best franchise/owner mode I've ever played in a sports video game.
Still playing Kerbal. I've got probes at or en route to every planet, and I just spent some time building a new series of 5-meter super-heavy lifters using the SpaceY Heavy Lifter Parts Pack. Coincidentally, my most recent activity was scanning Dres, which is the Kerbal analog of the dwarf planet Ceres. NASA's Dawn probe just entered orbit of Ceres after a seven-year trip from Earth. I hope in future versions they update Dres to add the shiny spots that Dawn has photographed on the real Ceres.
The new heavies will be used to launch manned missions to Duna and Moho. I've been to Duna before, but even with all the time I've put into this game I've yet to go to Moho (Kerbal's version of Mercury).
Ya know, Shyster, I think it's the made up things that have kept me from this game. It's been on my Steam wishlist forever, but if it was set in our actual solar system I probably would have bought it months ago. The forced fictionalization just dampens my enthusiasm. I'm even fine with the made-up Kerbals... I just want it to be in our space.
There is an active modding projects (Real Solar System + Realism Overhaul) to change the planets in KSP to the real-world planets and make the game much more realistic. It's still a WIP, though.
These mods also make the game vastly harder, however. For example, the main planet in the game (Kerbin) is much smaller than the real Earth. Getting to low Kerbin orbit takes about 4.5 km/s of delta-v. If you upsize Kerbin to be the same size as the Earth (with roughly the same atmosphere), then you're looking at something like 9 km/s of delta-v to get to orbit. That's twice as much delta-v. But applying the Tsiolkovsky rocket equation, a rocket with twice the delta-v capacity is not simply twice as large, because the equation incorporates the natural logarithm function: dV = Ve × ln(m0 ÷ m1), where m0 is the initial total mass, including propellant, m1 is the final total mass, Ve is effective exhaust velocity (aka specific impulse in m/s), dV is the velocity change produced, and ln refers to the natural log function. The mass of a rocket increases exponentially as the amount of delta-v increases.
For the tl;dr version, making KSP more realistic would force you to greatly embiggen the rockets in the game, which make the game much harder.
Cities:Skyline looks interesting, and at $30 on Steam, might be worth checking out. Still shaking my head at how bad SimCity 2013 was.
from everything ive read, its worth $60 in terms of value. there is a pretty sweet community forming and there is a lot of modding to be done, including custom buildings, vehicles, etc.
i cant wait to see the first maniac recreate the cities from game of thrones. its only a matter of time.

I've watched multiple streams / videos of folks playing the game... it looks really, really good. Just wish I had a more powerful computer to play it. I loved SimCity 2000 & games like that.
I haven't seen or heard any bad things about the game yet. Everyone seems to be rubbing its quality in the faces of EA's Simcity claims.
$89? that's crazy. I got it for free when I bought MK8
Yea it goes so high on eBay and Amazon I know you can get it on the eshop but with only 32gigs on wii u I prefer a hard copy
I much prefer the hard copy as well, I believe the game was close to 4GB (which was way under than what I had anticipated) so it's not too bad. Have you played any of the other pikimins? The game is gorgeous, I wish I had more time to sit down and play this one, you can definitely invest some time in it.
This is because of the retro gaming market blowing up.
Except the WiiU games will probably be like 80s/90s baseball cards. Because the old market blew up because it was rare/collectible, people spent big bucks on the 80s/90s thinking the same thing. Only for it to be worthless today.
