Are you for real? Or are you just being reductive and trolling. If the former, isn't it exhausting being so exclusive and hateful? If the latter...I guess good job? I don't get the point, but different screwball strokes for different folks I guess.

I don't care either. Not because I'm not a huge Star Wars fan (I like, but don't LOVE the series), but because they don't really have a single player component. That pretty much instantly kills any interest I have in a game. Not big on MP only games.

Graphics look solid and it's clear they really did put a lot of work in to nail that Star Wars feel. I'll read reviews of course, I don't like missing out on experiences without looking into them, but ...

There are enough games out for the Wii U that I was able to find a deal which I was happy with. So long as most of the exclusives interest you, putting down $250 for a console bundle and 2 games is a fair price. Not the best deal if you need multiplats, but a fair deal.

XBOX One is problematic for me. I have a gaming PC, PS4 and Wii U. So multiplats I have covered between PC & PS4. I'm looking at exclusives, and MS clearly has an initiative to bring a lot of their con...

Considering the hate and loathing gamers can have for each other based solely on gameplay, pixel count, graphics, etc, can you imagine the insanity that would come out of a game based on religion???

I'm happy others find enjoyment, solace and community in religion. I'm not one of those people. For the most part when talking about religion in a "global" discussion, it becomes a point of contention; between those that believe and those that don't, and even...

I think the Wii U is a fine console. Though "fine" may encapsulate it in totality.

The small size is nice, the touchpad is fine for normal gaming, but it is a nice feature for when I want to play a few console games while winding down in bed. Solid catalog of 1st & 2nd party games.

I got the Limited Edition WW bundle with (obviously) Wind Waker HD, Wonderful 101, Ninja Gaiden and some accessories on a sale for $269. There are good sales out th...

I agree, she wins in a battle of the bums.

In adding to the convo of enjoying Drake's over Chloe's...you are aware that some players are FEMALE right? They exist, people. I swear it.

I love my PS4, but damn am I crazy underwhelmed with this update - especially given the 3.0 moniker (this doesn't feel like it justifies a jump from 2.57 up to 3). Don't know how they can claim to be listening to players - plural - as this is definitely aimed at one type of player, not all of them.

Perhaps there is a larger chorus of people asking for more social integration than I am aware of. They really want Sony to focus solely on creating "PS4 Facebook"...

Always entertained when they say "Never say never!" Such a tease. Of course they don't want to ever shut the door on anything. It's rare when a company says anything akin to - "Oh that series? Yea, that is dead totally dead to us. Don't look for that from us in the future...ever"

I do hope that, in this case, it means we'll get one sooner rather than later. Loved it on PS3 and Vita. Great game, and one of the best downloadable game values e...

It'd be nice if they added a few more of the games that are less widely available at retail - like Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D and the like. eBay is obviously a valid option, but wider availability would be appreciated.

Given Star Fox is in the lineup, a game with similar retail obscurity, hopefully they'll add more to the list as time goes on.

I'm not sure what's up with that article pic. It looks like Jeff Foxworthy went into the retro-surrealist future. To shoot some porno...also this is nowhere to be found in the video, making it feel all the more random.

OT: The video looks great. Aside from not looking ultra realistic from an art direction standpoint, you can tell just how solid a lighting solution this is. Nice gradual shadowing in softer lighting, good hard lines in stronger lighting with no aliasing...

OK, I'll bite. Why was it a "must get rid of it".

I agree with Dark, FF 12 was awesome. I think I replayed that one more than any other version, though I've played all of my favorites many, many times. I want a FF 12 HD Remaster (mainly just Vita if they can manage) really badly.

Tangential:

I loved FF 8, FF X, FF X-2 and I didn't hate the 13 series as much as others.

I really liked the battle system actually, if you played the right difficulty it was fast and fun - tactical even. I ...

I would wager it is because the site stated "Huge" sale, and then bothered to write an article about it. That sounds like it should merit more than just your average discount. It's all about that presentation.

I'm a bit confused as to why fans of Diablo want to keep an eye on this. It looks very much like a twin stick shooter from what I can see. Akin to a game like Dead Nation with a dash button. What am I missing?

I'm dubious as well. These prices do indeed seem far too good to be true. I am tempted to use PayPal to roll the dice, have them back me up if it is a scam.

However I did just contact customer service to see what they had to say about the Region of the consoles and how the heck they can sell that low. I got an automated reply telling me they got my question, but I see that it was "mailed by" WordPress and the sender has the following email: silvio.mercurio@me.c...

I don't get it. If this was their secret weapon for Amiibo, they'd charge $30-40 to get this into people's hands so they'd buy the Amiibo. At $60, they are clearly not aiming for Amiibo, just working it in as much as they can as with every other game they make now.

Any Splatoon owners who can chime in on if it is worth it for single player alone? I just don't like playing shooters online unless it is co-op (none of my other friends own Wii U's :-/). I've got plenty of options on PC & PS4, but I'd love to add another game to my Wii U exclusives collection, and the main gameplay mechanic looks pretty good.

I've always held the opinion that character movement is such a huge piece of what makes a game fun: hence my ...

I hate to say it, but they are probably right. Sony had a few exclusives that went to PS3 after PS4 came out. MS had...none? I don't recall any for the 360 after the One dropped. Almost all the support coming for last gen is 3rd party. And we all know how hard 3rd party support is to come by on the Wii U (disc based "AAA" stuff anyways).

I expect my Wii U might limp along like my poor Vita: indies and AA games popping up from time to time (Freedom Wars, Persona ...

Speaking of Splatoon, I am a largely single-player-game focused gamer. Shooters on the whole only interest me if they have a decent campaign as I don't care to go online unless it is co-op (fat load of good my PS Plus membership is doing for me there lol). But my question to Splatoon owners is - is the game worth owning if you only play offline?

I like my Wii U plenty, and if I can have another game to fit into my exclusives library to help add to its value, then all the ...

I'm waiting for the Pong one!

I don't want to rain on parades, but the number of things being dragged from the past into the same UE4 grassy knoll is bordering on tedium.
