"With Microsoft’s recent announcement of the Kinect-less Xbox One, it was met with pretty positive praise. Once pegged as an essential piece of the overall hardware, it’s now taking a backseat role in the Xbox One experience.
...[But] When something that is met with split opinions is being forced on the consumer, does that ultimately harm the ultimate goal and potential of the product in question?"
Tales of the Shire has many hurdles to jump to live up to the J.R.R. Tolkien masterpiece, and magical elements might be its most pertinent one.

"The Bengal tiger is by far the most aggressive animal we have created in our game. Their sheer ferocity is unrivaled, but what truly sets them apart is their unique behavior: they actively stalk you!
When tweaking the tiger’s behavior, I drew inspiration from the movies of my childhood, such as “Jaws”, “Predator”, and slasher films like “Friday the 13th” and “Nightmare on Elm Street”." - François | Expansive Worlds
This just reminds me that Music unlimited is stuck on the frontpage of my PS4, I want it gone.
I agree with the everything but the points on the Wii U gamepad, and never found it that awkward or as annoying as the author suggests. The price of the system is comparable to the rest of the current gen. crop (actually cheaper), but what makes it seem so overpriced was all of the ports that are readily available any number of other places for much cheaper, (and unfortunately for Wii U, not nerfed). I just want to see what Nintendo will show around E3, since they've said they want to highlight the gamepad more. Obviously, it can add something significant, otherwise why did everyone else jump on the second screen band wagon so fast this time?
I kinda liked the Wii U game pad. I mean, at least it was used in some games.
