i didnt even know lego city was out

[MyNameIsMethodis]

Let me elaborate on the list I made earlier.


1. We know that Nintendo funded the localization

There is an abundance of NOA + NOE localization staff in the credits

Also:

Quote:
Client: Nintendo
Brief: FIGS, Dut, Dan, Rus, Port language production

In addition to recording the English version of LEGO City: Undercover, Side were commissioned by Nintendo to cast, direct and record all the foreign versions.

The localised versions have met with excellent reviews for the voice work across all territories.

2. We know that Nintendo is funding the worldwide distribution and marketing

LEGO City Undercover   Nintendo   WUP-APLE-USA   03/18/13   US   E10+
LEGO City Undercover   Nintendo   WUP-APLP-EUR   03/28/13   EU   7+
LEGO City Undercover   Nintendo   WUP-APLP-AUS   03/28/13   AU   PG

MIKE FUKUDA
TOM PRATA
TIM BECHTEL were the executives from Nintendo of America involved in meetings and planning with Tt Fusion and LEGO.

TAKAO YAMANE
TIM SYMONS were the executives from Nintendo of Europe involved in meetings and planning with Tt Fusion and LEGO.

SATORU IWATA was the chief executive who approved the goahead for Nintendo's involvement in this project.



5. We know that Nintendo passed the game through a rigorous internal testing process

* 15 Testers from Nintendo were involved in debugging and testing the game

* NOA Product Testing Technicians also contributed their support

* Around 12 Nintendo employees, including famous ones like KENSUKE TANABE, KOJI KONDO, and TSUYOSHI WATANABE contributed support to this project

I am sooooooo glad I gave this game another chance. It just made me laugh the HARDEST I have laughed in a long time. The Starsky and Hutch parody where the guy jumps on the car to slide across to get to the passenger side, but gets stuck halfway and wiggles his legs LOL

Nintendo fans are literal children

[Phoenix Dark]

Actually Nintendo fans love being ridiculed and oppressed, it justifies their existence. The most potent mix is a bible thumping Ntard. They jizz their pants if you frown in their general direction.

As the only Wii U game I've been interested in I was excited to play Lego City Undercover. It's really not any different to the other Lego games, and its certainly charming in a simple and inoffensive way. What is offensive are the load times, which I think range from 1-2 minutes. And if you're entering a building/level then it's another minute.

The scanning with the pad is a bit interesting but nothing that couldn't be done with a controller. If I had a Wii U I would pick it up straight away but I'd never buy one just to get it.  Nothing you didn't already know.

[Positive Touch]

I even went back to Target and told the manager that this guy was very rude

INCROYABLE

[D3RANG3D]

I am in favour of all purchases of games being met with shame and disdain at the register.  Adults buying vidya should be treated like adults buying action figures or superhero comics.  There should be no dignity in it whatsoever.

But what if you get accosted by a mouth breather that is not the clerk?

[D3RANG3D]

Murder them and bathe in their blood.  Then have a shower.

I would need a shower by just being near them.

And that's why I buy digitally.  I can be a manchild and buy games in my underwear.

A few weeks ago I went to Gamestop (huge mistake) to pick up Lego City Undercover. The two idiots behind the counter (both wearing Gears of War t-shirts, ugh) start snickering about the game and one of them says "Even my 5 year old nephew is too old for this game". I just ignore them, figuring I won't be back anyway, so screw them.

Basing my opinion of how generally good they are at things beyond their job description is asshole-ish but pretty well-founded in reality.  I don't want to hear the McDonalds guy's unsolicited opinion on what I should have for lunch, and I certainly don't want to hear the Gamestop sperglord's unsolicited opinion on what fucking vidya I should be playing. 

Shut up, ring up the purchase, have angry sex with your bodypillow later while you curse my name.  That's your present lot in life, Gamestop biscuit.

Wahh those mean ol' gamestop employees questioning my purchases, making suggestions, and asking if I want an extended warranty! How dare they place a human being that I must socially interact with between me and my video games!

You interact with them like a normal human being? Ok, that might be difficult for some gamers, but maybe they can just practice in front of a mirror or something.

That works in theory, but it's not them trying to sell you something that their boss is forcing them too, it's 9/10 fanboy drivel.

[mjemirzian]

I can't imagine what it must be like to be a person that harbors a bitter IRL resentment against Gamestop employees for engaging them in conversation or letting out a laugh or two.

This implies I consider fanthings people.

[Damian79]

I bought the collectors edition of WoW:MoP.  WORST DECISION I MADE IN MY LIFE.

[Damian79]

I think that Nintendo will have a chance next gen.  Or the gen after.



The xbox was stronger than pc graphics cards when it came out.  The Xbox 360 and PS3 were equal.  And now the ps4 is 3 times weaker.  According to nvidia.

Eventually consoles will get similar results with lower prices.  I got GFLOP numbers but they seem to be full of shit.

[Sho Nuff]

The singularity is here, the Nintendo jokes are writing themselves at this point

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

I sympathize with the Nintards.  If I buy a game, I want to get it done with as little bullshit as possible.  I don't really need some failure-at-life trying to tell me that what I'm buying sucks.

Of course this is a moot point since I just order off of Amazon anyway.  Fuck Gamestop.

[Shaka Khan]

The media create thread is getting increasingly painful to read, some of the most ardent ninthings are questioning their faith. The fanbase is in disarray.

[DCharlieJP]

Whilst my numbers predictions were off base in the Mac thread for WiiU , the analysis that the WiiU was not a hyped product in Japan was not.
 Where is Laguna's god now? (In Kyoto...)

Still no demo units because Nintendo

Where is that wii-mbulance from? reminds me of Fireballs car in Sabre rider.

And it looks like Laguna has fully returned   

Such a garbage poster.

I'm just surprised cause in my history of buying stuff nobody ever laughed in my face or said "seriously? that thing" and I've bought some questionable stuff over the years. I seriously don't know if I buy that story, but I don't care enough to call bullshit either.

I get it most of the time from my local GS as I only really buy PS3 games and they're like "you know the Xbox 360 version is the best one..."

And since I bought Ni No Kuni there, it shows up when they scan my GS card and every time they ask "so how was that Ni No Kuni game? It looked too kiddie for me..."

"You heard the stupid gaffe yesterday about the Wii U," he said. "If someone wants to take Unreal Engine 4 and ship a game on Wii U, they can! If they wanna ship an Unreal Engine 4 game on Xbox 360, they could make it happen." While that game might not look as pretty as it would on a "true" next-gen console, the new engine is scalable to a variety of platforms, including mobile.

[Shaka Khan]

Yeah, I've never had any of these issues with either GS or any other retailer here or back home, and I've played some pretty embarrassing crap over the years. Probably because I'm 6.3, don't wear MLP shirts, is able to control my drool and breathing in public, and can beat the shit out of their asses. *flex*

[Flannel Boy]

Stop flexing.

[Positive Touch]

can say that most of the annoying comments i get at gamestop are ones that assume i dont know shit about what im buying

looking too good for videogames

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

I never got any comments but I made sure to keep it polite but obvious that I'm just looking to buy something and GTFO.

[mjemirzian]

I didn't realize people had such strong feelings about gamestop employees. Don't be ashamed about what you enjoy.

[D3RANG3D]

[AdmiralViscen]

In other news, Wii U is a sales disaster without Rein's help

[D3RANG3D]

Gamestop employee confirmed.

[mjemirzian]

I've never experienced the "shameful" eye contact and "derisive" laughter that involves buying Pokemon and Underage Uguu Quest. Probably because I don't buy or play such games. It seems to me most GS employees are normal people trying to strike up a conversation or show some interest in what you're buying.

[tiesto]

I got a big "WTF" when I bought Blood on the Sand (I got the last laugh, game was pretty decent) but that was the only time a GS rep commented negatively on my purchase. Never had a GS rep talk me out of a game, and the only time I witnessed that happening was a few years ago, one tried talking a woman out of buying Sonic 2006 for her kid.

[D3RANG3D]

It isn't just gamestop, it was also a problem at gamecrazy.

[DCharlieJP]

While that game might not look as pretty as it would on a "true" next-gen console...

lol, this just reads like he's backing up over the WiiU jaywalker he just hit in his monster truck.

[mjemirzian]

Maybe he was just going "WTF" at a game with 50 cent in it? Imo unless someone is saying "wow you're a X for buying this game" or "wow this game looks like it's for children/manbabies/creepy pedos", you might just be misinterpreting them.

[DCharlieJP]

I think people who try to talk people out of crappy game purchases have their heart in the right place, but one person's trash is another person's treasure, so it can backfire badly.

yeah, i bought the PAL version of Akai Katana (because it was a couple of quid) and the guy behind the counter gritted his teeth, pulled a frown and simply said "A 2D Shooter? Your kids aren't going to like this..." :/ I don't think it was a genuine dick statement it was most likely coming from a helpful place and that's how i took it because i'm not a pantwetting milksop (.... well, not all the time)

a further problem for GS staff (and similar staff at large gamestores) is that they are often quite happy to , on the one hand, talk you out of buying a legit complete piece of shit, but when the NEW HOT LATEST piece of shit comes out not only are they foisting it on you with preorders, but they'll still promote it when they -know- it's a turd. For a recent example - see : Aliens CM. Was in several stores where they had people dressed as Marines and the female staff member dressed as Ripley. There's NO WAY you can pull the ".... do you really want Aliens:CM? Don't you have an internet connection at home? Can't you read?" chat at that point. So yeah - unless it's across the board consumer focused loving then i'm inclined to not take these people too seriously though with some notable exceptions.

Man Mark Rein needs to stop backpedaling and go for the kill on those twitter losers

Man Mark Rein needs to stop backpedaling and go for the kill on those twitter losers

It was a stupid thing to say. Not because it upsets Nintendo or the fanboys, or because it wasn't true (it is). It was stupid because it casts a bad light on the UE3 games already being made for the WiiU. Additionally, it makes it even more unlikely that some developer will be crazy enough to try to scale down UE4 to the WiiU. Hence Mark Rein backpedaling to save face.

[MyNameIsMethodis]

@Nintex_nl: EA's strategy according to Peter Moore does not include Wii U(or 3DS for that matter), yikes.



I got out just in time
