This is the exact reason why I cannot and will never support a system that requires an always on internet connection. If your device is "always online" then it is always using a data connection at its leisure. Ill be damned if Im going to have to pay a fee just to have to pay another fee for right to play the games that I just purchased, and then have to pay for the bandwidth that those games that I already paid for are using. This is asinine and hopefully does not end up actually c...
Damn I hope Metro come to the US Plus subcribers! I am jst starting Metro 2033 on the PC and was planning to buy LL as soon as I was done with this hoping it would be on sale. Think Ill wait for a bit and hope it comes to the US Plus too. What an amazing year this is turning out to be for PS Plus!

How do you know that this version of DW is the same as all the other ones? Nobody has seen or played enough of it to know. Maybe theyll change up the formula. Judging this game becasue you dont like the series they are spinning off from is just asinine. Your really digging for something to hate on now. Obvious fanboy is obvious. Your acting like this is the only game Wii U has to offer too. So dont buy a Wii U for this game, buy one for the tons of great games that ...
I just wish there were some sports games so I can retire my 360. I would be done with it if NHL 14 was on Wii U. But there are also a lot of 3rd party stuff that isnt on Wii U that shoudl be and thats why people say there are no games. Its not that there really are none, its just that whats there doesnt amount to whats availabel on the other systems. GTA 5 and several other late-gen titles really should have been on the Wii U. But then people would find something else to crap on Nintendo abou...
I know right! Its like Nintendo created the whole idea and then Sony just ran with it and found more success so Nintendo kinda backed off. I kept my GameCube around a lot longer because of the GBA player add on. I want to connect my 3DS games to my home TV somehow or play HD version of those games. I hope the Luigis Mansion 2 HD rumor turns out to be true!
People dont realize how great this system is and its crazy! Just last night, I was playing AC 4 on the couch and my wife wanted me to go upstairs to bed with her. I wasnt tired but obliged. I simply enabled off-TV play and put the game on the gamepad and went up to bed.
When my wife passed out, I unpaused the gamepad, stuck in an old pair of headphones and unpaused my AC 4 game right in my room upstairs. I didnt think it would go that far and this was the first time I really ...
I love my 3DS XL, but Nintendo frustrates me by not leveraging the success of the 3DS better. The Wii U would hugely benefit from the ability to play 3DS games. They insist that the portable and home experiences are different. I get that, but Im sure there are millions of consumers who would use such a feature.
Better yet, why doesnt Nintendo steal a page from Sony and make every major 3DS release accompany an HD version for the home system? 3DS had the best games of any syst...
Why you gotta be such a condescending jerk? Since I obviously need someone to talk to?! What makes you so high and mighty and me so worthless? Is your opinion somehow better than mine? Get over yourself dude. I was writing that while my wife was playing on her kindle, so I was just killing time.
They may be future proofing their brand, but at the same time theyre opening pandoras box and Im afraid so many companies will jump on that bandagon that theyll soon forget about the ...
There is plenty of things to play, just no sports, racing, or fps games. A few but nothing great. So if you need those types of games the u isn't really for u. But the u version of arkham origins and ac4 are superior to the current gen versions and there are a lot of 3rd party games too. Stuff gets overlooked easy when there are actually great experiences there. Scribblenauts, the eshop stuff like NEo assault, and lots of indie games get overlooked. There is plenty of content even if much...

Lol. Because my avatar? Its Mario puffin a spliff. I'm a bigger PS gamer than a Nintendo one, but I don't blindly support any company. Sony has made some mistakes and their lineup didn't impress me enough to make the price worth it yet in my eyes. What a Douchy troll comment. I still have my ps3 and the games I have on that impress me more than what I have seen and played of the ps4 so far. The Wii u is a great system that has games now and in the very ...
What obvious reasons? I wanted to get a ps4 but couldnt justify the price because no games.
But why argue semantics? The games ARE there and they ARE the better versions. Deus Ex I understand a little more, but I got Rayman for $20 on the U and it did come out the same time as the other versions. And the game is better than the other versions I have played. The gamepad is integrated incredibly well and it is just an incredibly fun game.
Nice post! This is why I am damn glad I bought my PS3 early. My PS1 and 2 both crapped out so all I have is my ps3 for my old 1 and 2 games. By trying to monetize everything, companies are caring less and less about the end consumer.
wow dude, thanks for adding to the conversation a little. Im serious becasue I dont want consoles to end. But this is the path the industry is headed down sadly. This is why I still hold onto my old games and systems. They can just shut down this streaming stuff whenever they want and we cant do jack about it. There is nothing tangible with these kinds of services and they are just another way for companies to take ownership away from consumers for the goods they purchase. Dont be blinded she...
There are some really great titles on the Wii u and some of them are 3rd party titles. Rayman legends on U is the definitive version, AC 4 is only a slight step below the ps4 version, and there are several exclusives available now and later this year that can't be beat. I played half way thru the 360 version of AC 4 then tried the Wii u version and was shocked at how much better it actually is. There is also the virtual console, which offers some incredibly awesome old school stuff. The W...
Except there are 360/ps3 versions to worry about. This game will suck why do they even bother with this franchise?
I never said 3rd party support was good for the system. But if the game is garbage why does it matter? I have those other systems for those games if I want. And its the 3rd parties' fault their games don't sell on the Wii u. They should stop releasing year or more old games and half assed ports. Look at what happens when a quality game like rayman legends releases. It sold more on the Wii u and it was out the same time as other system versions. If 3rd parties want their Wii u games to...
Yeah people are just getting excited because its PlayStation. This will not go well for several years. There will be a ton of issues and kinks that will need to be worked out over the years. I'm not buying into it because I have seen the failure of cloud based anything. I like owning my stuff, not renting it.
On live was supposed to be a game changer too. But if you slap the PlayStation name on it fanboys will suck it right up. The only way this changes the game is by taking Sony out of the console biz. Why would they continue to make consoles if they can just put this app on any and every device? Then they make the money without having to develop a new console every 5 years. When it happens don't complain because supporting this will cause Sony to end development of PlayStation consoles in th...
This has a direct impact on people like you! You must not understand exactly what is going on here. Internet providers typically also offer cable services. They are pissed that people are ditching their cable service to use Hulu, Netflix, and all those other streaming services. Now theyre trying to hit those services where it hurts so the cable guys can rake in even more money.
