Borderlands 2 Review comment
As I said, we didn't do any farming. We exploited the Golden Chest every 5 levels. It was really noticeable when someone was due for a round of upgrades, as they started dying more and never managed to kill anything.
I'm just fundamentally opposed to the idea of farming as a gameplay mechanic. Diablo III spits out tons of good loot. Borderlands 2 has no excuse for being as stingy as it is.

Borderlands 2 Review comment
We saved all of our real farming for end-game. Going through the main story presented little need for farming gear. I don't know why you had to stop playing to farm every 5 levels.

Mario Kart 8 Review comment
Oh man... I remember getting four blue shells in one race and it not even being that uncommon of a thing. Now I rarely get more than one.

Mario Kart 8 Review comment
I really don't remember constant Blue Shelling in MK Wii or MK Double Dash... I never played 64 enough to notice and Super didn't have that item.

Mario Kart 8 Review comment
I was delighted to hear that this version of Mario Kart would feature less constant blue-shelling, which proved to be true. But previews/reviews forgot to mention constant other-color-shelling... I feel like I complained to Nintendo about being fed poison hamburgers so Nintendo switched it to poison hot dogs and doesn't understand why I'm still upset.
I also don't care for the new algorithms determining what item you get. From what I've read, instead of based on your position, it's now …

D'oh! I can't believe I forgot about Coins completely! I added a paragraph about them.

You forgot to mention one new item: the Golden Coins - the most worthless item in the game! The one item you seem to get most often when in 1st - 3rd place - usually when you already have 10 coins and could really use an item to drag behind you.

Any thoughts on adding the Nintendo ID to the gamer profiles?

Diablo III Review comment
I acknowledged the fact that much of the fault with the PC version is due to Blizzard making stupid decisions with the AH and DRM.
But the fanatics have been harping on how "casual" D3 even outside of the negative features that everyone should hate. Now that Torchlight 2 is so passe (read: Old), they have moved onto declaring Path of Exile as the "real" sequel to D2.
Apparently D3's special-move-centric combat and inability to screw-up a character and be forced to scrap 'em and start over …

Diablo III Review comment
A lot of the comments made about Torchlight 2 being "better" than Diablo III were made:
1. Because of the always online that Diablo III.
2. Because of the auction house.
3. Because the auction house then ruined the loot hunt, which is to say half the reason some people even play.
Naturally, there were others, but those were a HUGE part of it, and 90% of the "debate" took place well before the console version was even released. The comments above were made mostly out of standing on …
