That it makes me constantly aware that I am playing a game, as opposed to working toward a more seamless, immersive, artistically fulfilling experience.

Going to have some extra spare time now that my life is fucked up. Thinking about playing through Pikmin 3 again on the Wii U. Something about all those little guys that is enjoyable.

I must be weird but when I'm holding a controller and staring at a high resolution screen with great graphics I'm very aware it's a video game.

I've never played a Pikmin game, but that sounds like a great idea.

Has someone already posted this? If so, sorry for pulling a B.

Looks like new Zelda will be for Wii U and NX.

I am currently playing the 3ds game A Link Between Worlds. Super nostalgic and fun. I love that you can rent most weapons almost right away. They need to keep that concept going forward.

Graphics look great. The wingsuit looks exactly like Far Cry 4, only without the shooting at the end...

This could be amazing if they nail the controls. Like with the skiing, it could be really cool to use both analog sticks to emulate the movement of both skis. But if the controls are dumbed down, and you are basically hurtling down the mountain with an uncanny ability to maintain balance, then I'm not too interested.
