I have no idea WTF Lego Batman is.
In the same way that this thread is BTE, Lego Batman2 is BGE.

Kotaku said:for the first time in its life, the platform had a standardized control pad.
I can't even think of a witty oneliner for this, the sheer ridiculousness is too overwhelming.
Xbox 360 controller became a de facto standard, it's true. Most games that can be played with a gamepad are automatically configured to use it. Before that we only had lots of different dualshock knockoffs.
The platform had standardized control devices since the very beginning, they're called keyboards and mice, you may have heard about them. Only thing the Xbox360 Pad did is let people play console ports on the PC with the control scheme they were designed for, instead of half-assed KBM support, without the need to fuck around with custom drivers and settings.
How is that a bad thing? It's also obvious from the context of the article they're talking about gamepads. And keyboards and mice are hardly standardized, there are dozens of variations with different resolutions/numbers of buttons/mechanisms/function keys etc.
Besides, if you don't understand what "standardized" means, as is clear from your post, then I'm wasting my time here. Have fun trying to troll someone else.
See: http://www.rpgcodex.net/forums/inde...-xbox-one-revealed.80070/page-95#post-2713854But it's true, games nowadays are usually released on X360, PS3 and PC. In the era of PS2 and the original Xbox, it was a very rare event.
It's actually the other way around, Microsoft headbutted into the console market and bought off/turned PC developers or PC titles (like for instance the first Halo) to be console only, as well as propagating the "PC Gaming is dead" nonsense for over half a decade because they wanted to kill the PC as a gaming device to bolster their new Xbawks console business.
In the process they also mostly destroyed "console gaming" too that was unique on the early PlayStations and whatnot, only Nintendo still remains from most of the old guard and most Multiplatform games are some sort of abominable mix between what used to be PC games and "mass market appeal" of consoles.
If anything you should be blaming these assholes for what they have turned both PC and console gaming into, not thanking them. They tried to kill it for almost a decade and in the process helped turn large parts of it into shit, now that there is a renaissance with Digital Distribution, Indies and KickStarters they're trying to rewrite history as if people should be thankful for what was done, claiming that what were inherently PC games and genres (like for instance the shooter market or Open World games) were "console games ported to the PC".
For that matter, coming next generation there really isn't any appreciable difference between a PC and "consoles" other than the type of OS they use and the openness of the platform.
You're an idiot.Besides, if you don't understand what "standardized" means, as is clear from your post, then I'm wasting my time here. Have fun trying to troll someone else.
plz enlighten me. I want to know what you think it means.
I was going to post something similar.Well I for one am grateful that consoles came along. Without them, Thief DS and DX:IW could have turned out terrible

First, the gamepad nonsense. Before Microsoft standardized (i.e. forced) their incredibly expensive gamepad on PC users, you could plug in any random gamepad and the game would recognize it. But for the last several years, Microsoft made it so that games would only recognize the X360 controller.
At the expense of being able to use 3rd party controllers.In fairness it used to be "press joystick button one" and other annoying nonsense that made me never want to touch controllers. At least standardizing to the Xbox style pad brought with it useful in-game prompts and standard control configs.
It's the classic walled garden vs wall-less wasteland.

Hope not a repost.
