Holy shit, a reviewer who's actually critical of the things that didn't work in ALBW. Unlike IGN/10 this review is pretty much spot-on to my experience with ALBW too. Great by the numbers and very enjoyable, but the story and overworld are sterile. That's why I hope the ALBW trend is a one-off.
Not to change the subject but this seems to be a huge issue for Nintendo as well.
Yes, then they'd probably lay the Vita to rest as well, or better yet... We'd get metroid with Dual Analog finally!
Wii Fit was a very successful Wii game and Nintendo likes to brag about it but it didn't mean we didn't get some really great and daring games like Mario Galaxy or Skyward Sword. There's more to come and hopefully MK8 will just be an appetizer to increase the install base for when the big new Zelda is out and etc.
The reason why I think Casrlevania titles arent all that successful is because they're carrying a stigma because its a longrun franchise and after trying LoS 1 and the 3DS game I gave up because the lore and style seems very uninspired and mish-mashy. It's just very bland to be honest.
What "momentum"?? xD
As long as they have the Wii U as their main hardware they can't modernize. They lead the handheld market, no worries there (other than "oh noes, smart phones are taking over!!!") but they have a hardware that is 8 years outdated and they can barely even keep up with that. Nintendo lacks initiative at the moment.
I hate those comments because I can't figure out if by pressing "agree" I agree with your sarcastic sentiment or if I agree with what you literally said.
I just needed to get that out of my system. It has bugged me so many times ^^. Fuck me. I'm going to bed xD
Y so overzealous? You sound like the fanboy here.
Which is awesome considering all exclusives the 360 got were kinect games and timed paid exclusives in the end. MS lost Rare's talent to their mismanagement and both Bungie and Epic games have drifted off to make games for Sony's consoles.
Seriously, if it was anything under 60fps 1080p at maxed graphics I'd be furious. I paid 350 dollars for my PS4 so it'd better be worth it. Otherwise I would've saved up for a gamer PC.
Not unless they announce a killer app this year, presumably at E3... but according to Reggie they're betting all on Donkey Kong, Smash and Kart... which makes me anxious because honestly MK8 looks like MK7 with better graphics and gimmicky stage-designs but the same bullshit item-balance and automatic drifiting.. smash bros is just another smash bros, but hopefully the online will be amazing (needs leaderboards, account progression, unlocks, friend systems etc.) and Donkey Kong is a bareb...
Honestly I always thought the Wii U concept was all like "We need to innovate, so we created a halfhearted gimmick and hopefully it attracts people who play iPad even though we don't have multitouch"
It's a lost cause. Could've been good, but it's an underpowered console with a soulless gimmick that can't be utilized in a meaningful way like the DS did with the first touch-screen based games and Wii introduced proper Motion controls in gaming... ...
I'd rather have it like that than having lives and whatnot displayed on it because I hate having to look away from the action-screen to look up HUD elements.
Either way you look at it DKCR:TF Just isn't an incredibly ambitious game. It's targeted at nostalgic or casual fans for the most part, the graphics are like an HD Wii game and it's a 2-D platformer... worst of all, it's a direct sequel to a Wii game, same concept, same gameplay but with more additions... it's pretty barebones but what Wii U needs is something unique that really raises some eyebrows, not this been-there-done-that game.
I just don't see...
Next Nintendo Direct: Iwata: "As some of you may know, the Wii U is in a poor state right now. I fucked up, please understand!"
A sequel with likely a 1-2 year dev cycle that has to expand on the first game as well as create a much bigger content-filled world THAT RIVALS SKYRIM in quality? Sorry, but good luck with that SE.
They are great partners to work and coordinate with probably, but EA sees no "money" in being partners with them ATM.
Looks awful... This isn't the next-gen version is it? Awful framerate spikes were visible, graphics are bad and the gameplay looks like it's TASM 1.5
Don't get ahead of yourself. They aren't even beating competition when it comes to games. Next-gens have the new Metal Gear, Thief, Dragon Age and The Witcher coming out... this year and Wii U has the same old titles that have been done to death like Smash Bros and Mario Kart. For me, Mario Kart is no longer interesting but with an online multiplayer that's good, Smash might be something to look forward to. Donkey Kong is cool too... but there is nothing coming out that has the &q...
