The only thing wrong with the cover art is that it keeps on being talked about. Mega Man had awful box art, street fighter II made chun li a dyke, so on and so on and no, doesn't affect the game at all. Just shut it, buy the game and if you dislike the box art so much go draw your own.
oh, and great article by the way, very funny AND true!
Although i do mostly agree with this article it's not all bad. I try to avoid the douches myself and I've found the new miiverse on the wii u to be full of great and helpful people. I'm sure it's more because of admins than anything else but it's a step in the right direction.
It's not next gen, it's NEW gen. :-)
There's really no need for this article. It's been stated numerous times that the Wii U supports external hard drives (up to 2TB) and that it would be the main way to store whatever, which is a much better option than the other consoles. And it's even been stated that the 8 G version is for the core crowd and this is part of the reason why.They are the group of people that will take advantage of this first, so no need for much more space than what's necessary for operation.
Wrong person named in article or not, it is nice he put in anything at all. I'm sure it could have been more, but it's still more than anyone else. Hurray for charity!
"Nearly everyone I know purchased a Wii at one point or another (myself included), and why not? Its overall quality not living up the hype of its sales has been well documented by this point, but let’s face facts: the motion controls were new and exciting, it was affordable even at launch, and a handful of its games — the Mario Galaxies, Twilight Princess/Skyward Sword, Xenoblade Chronicles, Brawl, the No More Heroes’ — were as good or better than anything Sony and Microsoft released thi...
I agree with everything that this article says except for not making fun of womens handbags.I mean come on, you shouldn't need to carry three wallets and a fat terrier next to your lipstick and lunch all around one arm. Big purses=hoarders :p
Completely true. Nintendo even made numerous statements about how the problem with the wii shortages wouldn't happen this time because of more systems and more shipments. This is just a perception thing where since the wii u is available it must not be selling well, and that's just not true.
The wii released alongside the ps3 a year after the XBOX 360. this guy gets alot of just facts wrong in this article. He mentions games on the wii that came out long after the console release like they were available immediately. He also says it didn't launch with a mario, zelda, blah blah, then says it did have mario but ign just scored it low. Don't believe this article, it's rubbish. At least on the game fact parts.
mine's from two doom metal bands. my dying bride + paradise lost = mydyingparadiselost
Is it sad that i really want to play some of these? How about "Drone strike operator" where you fly around and blow up what may or may not be targets? Is it a training camp or a hospital? Are those kids playing with a ipad or a detonater? Are those babies or nuclear warheads? You decide with an iron fist of gamepad justice!
So does anyone remember that THQ is bleeding money and about to go out of business if this next round of releases doesnt go well. Talking mad sh*t about the console your games aren't on and saying it can't handle the game gets people to buy the system your game IS on, increasing chances of the game being a success. This is a business and people need to start seing comments like these for what they are.
People seriously need to stop and think a little more about the ps3/360 launch problems. Anybody remember the 40% 360 failure rate, red rings all over the place, sonys almost 20% hardware failure rate, the numerous patches that have brought them to the state they are at now and the fact that this is just the FIRST FEW DAYS of wii u existence. Everyone seems to think its supposed to be perfect right from the start, no issues and badassery in every aspect day one, and thats just not how console...
It's true, this IS a fair and thoughtful article. Needs to be more of this kind of game journalism.
Assassins creed 3,borderlands 2, skyrim and black ops 2 are all glitchy and even contained lots of gamebreaking bugs when released. They all scored high and sold millions with few complaints on the reviews about glitches. What changed that made everyone care so much more?
Developers need to start finishing their games or the consumers need to be able to start getting refunds for opened games.On PS3 I had a Mass Effect 2 bug wipe my mass effect saves and then corupt my whole hard drive (which was supposed to be fixed in a patch but wasn't, Skyrim was an awful mess and still is (DLC issues), Borderlands 2 glitched my B.A Rank and pretty much ruined the game for me and so many other awful bugs that DON'T get fixed in day one patches. Even the systems don&...
I'm so stoked about this game having a directors cut, I love this game's characters and the sense of humor that surrounds the whole game! Easily one of the best games this decade in terms of story and just plain wonderful strangeness
I don't buy at launch b/c of GOTY editions and the awful glitching in SO MANY GAMES this last couple of years. Patches don't fix 100's of hours wasted trying to walk around (Skyrim PS3), gain xp (borderland 2 B.A rank), save (Mass Effect 2 could freeze in auto save and wipe a hard drive) and so many other annoying, game breaking glitches that have affected so many people, myself most definately included. Paying $60 for the privalege of having my game experience f'ed in the a b...
Dlc has become a pimple on gamings a$$, and ruins the concept of games as art. Anyone read any books lately that you had to buy the epilouge seperately? How about movies that cut out parts of the action until you pay five more bucks? Or a piccasso where you pay extra to see the color? Heard any music where pay more to hear some extra imstruments? Yea I didnt think so
my update went fast enough and yes, things are loading up much faster now. Just gets better and better...
