I'm sure it'll be a fine game and all, and I love MC's voice and all, but I really wish they had not brought back Chief so soon. It sort of removes the point of Halo 3's conclusion to me. Here's hoping 343 makes it worthwhile.

Thank you for putting words in my mouth. The games are, in my opinion, too similar. I'm sorry that this apparently offends you.
Smash Bros. is not even remotely similar to Sonic the Fighters. That sort of comparison is completely ridiculous.
I never said they were not allowed to play Smash Bros. But if are they even ATTEMPTING to wipe the stench of "rip-off" off of their shoulders? Apparently not s...
In your first sentence you could honestly replace the word "Nintendo" with any other major video game publisher and it would still make sense.
Also The Last Story comes out tomorrow. Guess how many LOL_WUTs I'm currently wagering will not be supporting that releases?
@GribbleGrunger
Nintendo survived without heavy third party support for how many generations now? And besides, when was the last time Nintendo had a Ninja Gaiden, Tekken, Assassin's Creed or any third party franchise that the Wii U is getting?
@VanillaBear
Are you stupid or delusional? I'm not "defending the shit out of Nintendo" I'm merely stating my opinion. And I'm not bashing anyone either, especially not for jus...
I'm not sure that's true. The Wii didn't provide a great deal of support to the core gamer after Zelda Twilight Princess came out. From then on until E3 2010, Nintendo didn't throw many bones outside of the likes of "Wii Fit" and "Wii Music."
The Wii U's launch is far more core than casual by comparison and that has a lot to do with its current third party launch lineup. Yes, I KNOW, most of them are "just ports," but honestly...
That doesn't explain why the combat looks identical, or why the concept is exactly the same, or why the developers were stupid enough to take a photo of their studio showing a Wii with a blurred out image of Smash Bros. Brawl being played on a TV.
Different mechanics doesn't change the gameplay enough to justify it as an entirely new game. If that were the case, each NSMB would be considered different on the grounds that it has different power-ups. Or rather each Call...
This news is old. Besides, that's more of a 3DS rip-off than a Wii U rip-off.
Yeesh, 8 disagrees? Guys I didn't say I wanted Cloud. All I said was I expected such a campaign for the character since he gets requested all the time.
For the love of... it was going to be a Rabbids game?
Mind = blown.
@Mike_Tha_Hero
Wow, you have a nice way of putting words into my mouth.
I'm skeptical about all aspects of this game. As for writing it off, I simply have no interest to play it and there are more and more games coming out that I actually do want to play and I'd rather spend my time and money on those games.
If I get a chance, I'll probably rent it or borrow it from a friend, but until then it's at the very bottom of my "...
Just because it's a rip-off (which it is) doesn't mean it will be a bad game. This will probably largely turn off Nintendo fans. I'm not particularly interested because I'd rather wait for the fourth installment of Smash Bros.
As for those who truly believe this game is not a rip-off at all, exactly what is it doing? The power meter concept? Isn't that already taken from the Marvel vs. Capcom games?
So far this looks like Smash Bros. with ...
Odd character to provide so much focus for. I would have expected something like this for Cloud.
Well, here's hoping it's successful I suppose. Personally I think I'd be satisfied with any roster as long as it's at least as large as the one in Brawl. With less clones or quasiclones.
And the game generally sucking. I pretty much detest Ninja Theory and have really disliked everything they've made thus far. That and I'd rather spend my money on something I KNOW I'll like as oppose to something I MIGHT like.
It's always easy to "blame the victim." It's another thing to do such while being a fanboy.
Not too sure of what to make of this list after I read it. Some I agree with, some I don't.
EDIT: @Whitefeather
I always did feel it was a gross understatement when people in favor of the new DmC game say that skeptics are only concerned with the hair color. I'm none too thrilled about Ninja Theory since I've despised every game they made so far.
It also doesn't help that they not only changed Dante's looks but his persona...
Because Gaf confirms all! :D
Your comment is smug and ignorant. I think that's all that needs to be said.
@tarbis
Yeah, for more money to Sony first. It's crap.
@tiffac008
"Those memory cards will drop in price down the line. Its the nature of not only the console business but the tech business as a whole. So in the end, it won't be an issue."
The bottom line is they're still too expensive NOW. Meaning until that price drop happens (assuming it ever does) then I'm not really going to care, am I?
...
Nothing's confirmed. If Wii games can potentially be played on the gamepad, maybe VC games, can be as well.
Now THAT is some cool shit.
Improve the online servers for Smash Bros. Brawl and we'll call this a day.
I wanted to see the Halo universe expand without the Chief. New characters and planets if you will. Then bring in the plot device from the Legendary Halo 3 ending that AO1JMM so dubiously brought up.
EDIT: So soon in the lore, not in the release of the games. The game that came out between this one and 3 was a prequel that did not involve the Chief. I want to see a Halo game that expands the universe without Cheif.
Yes, Reach tried that, but I got what I need...
