A console is an investment and I would like to know whats under the hood of my purchase.
I have a gaming pc and don't have close to 16gbs of ram. I say 8gbs at the most.
At the moment. May pick one up at price drop and smash bros.
"wii says hello to ps3 and 360." Although the wii was sold at profit and had higher console numbers can you say the same for the longterm? The wiis already dead and the Nintendos new console is competing with 6 to 7 year old consoles. Lets also not forget that third party sales were horrible on the wii. The biggest problem is Nintendo didn't seem to have longevity in mind for the Wii... hell the same might be said for the WiiU.
I think at the very least the wii should have had hdmi.
When I think of next gen in console terms, I think of big noticeable leap in graphics. No I don't think graphics are everything, but it's telling of the hardware and direction.

I'm concerned, but will reserve judgement til gameplay is shown.
Pc has a proven user base that buys software. Dark Souls was in steams top 10 for weeks. I don't think you can say the same for the Wii/U hence the lack of third party support for early 2013.
The thing I don't like about the gamepad is having to look away from the screen. This really became evident when I tried zombieU. I don't think you'll see a Dark Souls port anytime soon. Just like other game companies who haven't ported games over yet, they wont budge until they are confident that the system has a stable user base. The wii was a disaster for third parties, even the ones that tried to make quality games for the system.
I tried the game out and it just doesn't feel polished. A overhyped game if I ever saw one. More power to those that enjoyed it. I just wouldn't at full price.
World Tendency was an annoying mechanic that was tied to unlocking areas/weapons and players committing suicide over and over.
I also disagree with how mana was handled in DeS. Made the game way too exploitable when you couple the spices/spells.
Third parties seem hesitant and for good reason to invest in the WiiU.
World tendacy was more off an annoyance. Maybe it would be acceptable if it wasn't tied to unlocking areas/weapons?
I find it funny that some actually think Demons Souls was the better or harder game. I have both and tell you I rarely ever went back to demons souls after darksouls. It's a better game in every front, especially after the Artorias dlc. Oh and World Tendency was an annoying mechanic. So the souls series went multiplatform... Get over it. PC version ftw :3

Still not enough earn back my business.
I would like to remove the hud, but keep the button prompts for quick time events. Soon as I edited the hud out I got attacked by a tiger and was ultimately eaten :/ Also have my only health show up when I heal or get hurt.
The game has a lot of generalizations, but nothing really distracting. The only thing that stood out is that, the generic white protagonist really stands out in this game, but in a bad way(it's kind of boring). Though I get that he's suppose to be someone tired of their redundant life.
I'm getting it on steam so I could care less.
The difference is that the WiiU is competing late in game with 6 to 7 year old consoles. It's what the wii should have been. PS2,Xbox, Gamecube were all around the same time and the graphic difference wasn't too big.
