While I do have a PS4, it still bothers be the SFV is an exclusive. The SFIV series was across multi systems and as a result had a huge world wide community. Making a SF game an exclusive just doesn't feel right. While I probably will get it, I think I'm going to stick with USFIV a while longer yet.
While it might not be sole system for most gamers, the Wii U makes a great secondary system. Lately I've played it a lot more than my PS4. Xenoblade Chronicles X is my favorite game so far this gen. I would have bought it for this game alone, but there have been a lot of other really great stuff on it too. People shunning this system because it's not as powerful as the PS4 or just because it's Nintendo are really missing out. Especially if they are RPG or open world game fans...
Thinking about getting this myself. Don't have a Vita so haven't been able to try it before.
Yeah, if it had been marketed as an enhancement to gaming it might have fared better. IMO, this whole 'You Are The Controller' nonsense is why it's failing. I think that a lot of gamers, myself included, just want to be holding a controller when gaming.
Don't get me wrong, I love my Wii U and want to see it succeed, but I've never really understood the point of pre-ordering digital games on any system. People pre-order to ensure they get a copy of a game on day one, but with digital version, there is no limit of content, so what's the point? With the risk that pre-ordering carries that a game could be delayed, when purchasing digital games, I'd rather buy something I could play now and get the unreleased game when it comes ...
I agree. Though I watch lots of free channels and digitally bought movies & TV on my Apple TV and Roku devices, Netflix is the only service I currently pay for. I had Hulu Plus for a while too, but dropped it for lack of CC and too many commercials. I like the Sony brand, but releasing an internet tv device and leaving out any major services like Netflix is just down right stupid. In it's current state, I can't see this thing even making a dent in a market that Roku has alread...
The last game I bought and am currently playing is Deadly Premonitions Director's Cut for the PS3. (Wished I'd waited a little longer though, just saw it on sale yesterday.) I was looking for an open world game I hadn't played and thought it looked fun. A lot of people are turned away by it's dated graphics, but it's an extremely fun though somewhat weird massive open world game.
I agree, you might as well say every low res side scroller is a copy of Super Mario Bros., but no one seems to mind. I love Minecraft, but I would like to see other similar games flourish, especially now that MS has bought out Minecraft. I'm hoping they won't, but you can't role out the possibility that they will eventually destroy it like they did with Rare. If that happens, it would be nice to have some similar games to fall back on.
I agree, real friends, can at the very least, agree to disagree. Though memory cards and batteries had their issues, I never really had the other issue as all my friends and I were multi-console, we brought any system that we thought we would have fun with. None of us thought then or now that we should miss out on great games for something as silly as being loyal to business. I miss how in the 90s there was always something new coming out and the console market wasn't flooded with bori...
I agree. Side scrollers generally do not have a habit of pushing systems very hard (and side scrollers are probably not the best genre for graphics above all else nuts to be looking at anyway.) Being a fan of the first two games, I'm looking forward to this one, but am a little concerned about it being done by a different developer house.
That's a good point. I think that one of the biggest problems with the Vita is that most developers try to recreate the PS3 experience on it. If more developers had made more use of the system's unique features, creating games that couldn't be played any where else, I think the system would have done a lot better.
Didn't see anything on that list that interested me that I didn't already have. Good opportunity for anyone who's been on the fence about any of those games though. I'll have to check on Steam to see what else they have on sale.
I agree with you on how fun Nintendo's games looked, but I kinda agree with the article too. Nintendo has great games both out and coming, but Nintendo needs to realize that probably the only thing that will save the Wii U is advertising. Real gamers (not counting fanboys) know that it is a completely different system, but it's surprising how many casual gamers think it's just an upgraded Wii with a tablet added. The Mario Kart TV adds are a step in the right direction. Hopeful...
He probably doesn't look female-ish to the eyes of eastern gamers. I'm surprised western gamers haven't caught on to this by now but this is nothing new in Eastern Art. You can find male characters that appear female to the western eye in eastern art dating back thousands of years. Actually this trait exists in a lot of older European art as well as young males in many older paintings often appear female-ish to the modern western eye.
I was really impressed with what I saw. I wasn't really planning to get Smash Bros, or at least not right away, but now I feel like I really would like to have it. I also collect figures of game characters for decorating my game room, so the idea of characters that provide and store character data is appealing too since they can double as displays pieces. To be honest this is the first time I've seen this kind of gimmick that interests me as I've never really bought into the Sk...
I fully agree. As for smart phone gaming, there is probably few things if any that have hurt gaming more over these last few years. I'm glad they've taken a stand against mobile gaming. I'd hate to see gaming dedicated portable devices completely disappear. If Nintendo ever decides to get into smart phones, they should make a 3DS that is also a cell phone and is fully compatible with the 3DS' downloadable games and apps. I really hope they continue to stay away from the i...
Good point. I've streamed HD gaming from an iPod Touch 5 with only 512megs of memory before with no lagging or loss of quality. It's funny how many people on here think they know what they're talking about. I guess blind fanboyism breed ignorance if all the times I've seen people on this sight making up stuff against systems they don't like regardless of the brand, is any indication.
With the right software even the PS3 and Xbox 360 could probably strea...
I have to disagree. I like Sony but I felt they could have done a lot better.
Personally I would say Nintendo won, but only because they had a much better showing than they've had in a long time, one that was a lot better than many were expecting, taking people by surprise and got their attention.
Both MS and Sony's showings seemed a bit disappointing when compared with their previous successes at E3.
I'm not really sure what g...
I'd probably would grade it like this myself;
Sony B
Microsoft C
Nintendo B+
I agree, in single player games, you're the chosen hero or villain of the story, but in most MMOs, you're just a face in the crowd. I play them occasionally, but I would prefer games like Xenoblade Chronicles X or Skyrim over ESO of WoW any day.
