What about Fallout 3?  All those subways, so scary! 

This is why you should have stayed lepered.  It's not that you're a troll, it's that you're a BORING, SHITTY, PREDICTABLE troll.

[MyNameIsMethodis]

yes sorry i have a opinion forgive me all games are great A+++++ would play again

[Human Snorenado]

It's just that your opinions are always so stupid.  Fortunately, you don't have a history of trolling for trolling's sake, so we can always be sure that what you're presenting is your honest, heartfelt opinion!

Replaying Jak 2, it's apparent Naughty Dog simply got lucky with Uncharted

By lucky I mean they obviously stumbled into a style of gameplay that they're actually competent at making (excuse me . . . copying). Jak 2 is such a bumbling, poorly designed game that if it weren't for the good will engendered by the first game in the series the company deserved to crash and burn after the offensiveness of Jak 2. It's an incompetently executed knock off of the GTA formula that failed as a game after the the studio was capable of making a competent knock-off of the Mario formula with the first game.

Obviously, with Uncharted, ND discovered that they apparently had the skill set to actually pull off a competent knock off of the third person cover shooter and probably held a party at the office celebrating that they'd found a gameplay mechanic they could execute with some finesse.

Now, following this logic it's quite obvious why "The Last of Us" - judging by all released media to date - seems to play in a highly similar fashion to Uncharted. They're not quite ready to move on to something different for fear of giving up the one game mechanic they've found themselves capable of actually delivering with. Of course, this begs the question . . . how long can Naughty Dog milk this style of gameplay before gamers realize they're a one-trick pony? Will the management actually risk trying something completely different on PS4, and thus exposing the company as incapable of making anything beyond this one style of game in a competent manner?

I'll wait to see what Bayo 2 is like before getting a Wii U. Not sure what Fire Emblem or SRW will be like on the Wii U either.

I liked Bayonetta except for all the button mashing finishers and some of the QTEs. And I wish they'd patched the Kilgore rocket glitch.

[The Sceneman]

the worst part is that your score gets fucked over if you die during a QTE sequence

This is a pretty good answer, honestly

I think I'd take the dump over a WiiU.

[Van Cruncheon]

yes, but bayo 2 is kinda like some post-coprophagous ballplay

i would buy one if it'd mean everyone would stop fucking talking about magical scenarios thatd keep this thing from a massive bomb

The worst thing about Bayonetta are the Alfheim missions - or rather, how you're forced to play them whenever you want to play for score/Pure Platinum ranking. I don't want to throw the entire concept under the bus because a lot of them are fun combat arenas, but there are also a bunch of them that put stupid, arbitrary limitations on you that are absolutely no fun to complete, let alone score well on. Button mashing finishers also suck because the faster you mash, the more points you get, so you have to hammer some button ALL THE TIME. And of course everything involving vehicles is god awful.


It's a good game though. Of course I'm going to wait for more footage and info about Bayonetta 2 before buying a Wiiu, but it should be excellent if they were able to identify all of the problems and bad design choices in the original.

problem is usually when they identify and fix the problems you liked about the game. 

my expectation for bayonetta 2 is viewtiful joe 2 to viewtiful joe.  I'd be happy with that.  really, I'm more interested in wonderful 101

thats gold

[etiolate]

A real Metroid title. Would be nice if it was from Retro. And if not from Retro, a new IP from Retro would be nice.

Oh and a price cut.

[hampster]

Meaningful interaction with the 3DS would be nice. I already have two of them in my house so anything that makes them more useful would be welcome. What if Nintendoland, along with what was included, had a bunch of games built around the idea that each person has their own 3DS. My kid and several of her friends have them, they could all gather together and each have their own screen. Heck, even just being able to control Netflix with the 3DS while the gamepad is charging would be nice. Or browsing Miiverse

Not to mention the shit Sony is doing like Cross-buy. Doesn't Monster Hunter let you play co-op between the 3DS and WiiU? I might give the WiiU a second look once that is out. I never got into Monster Hunter on the PSP but I really did like God Eater. I think the addition of a lock on in the 3DS game (like God Eater had) might be enough to get me into it

Yeah, you can play local multiplayer with the Wii U version with three other 3DS's. Or of course, if you're going 3DS only you can link up to four of them.

I don't know if the lock on thing is like you're imagining.

In God Eater it locks on to the center of a monster so when targeting specific areas you need to line it up yourself. But it was useful for keeping track of the monsters as they rushed around. Doesn't the new Monster Hunter have a similar lock on? I remember 8-4 Play talking about it but maybe they were talking about a MH4 demo

That said the two game are very different. But enjoying God Eater makes me want to give MH a second look

What kind of game is it? I've never been able to tell from the screenshots.

It's like an action-focused Pikmin. You coral a bunch of people to make giant fists and stuff to beat the bad guys, by drawing like a fist on the touchscreen. I think. TBH it's a hard game to understand even watching it being played

That's what I thought, thanks!

Pretty much confirms it's not something I'd be interested in.

[Tasty]

Somewhat ironically I'm more interested in it than Pikmin 3.

[Mr. Gundam]

I've never cared for RTS games, and I got that sort of vibe from what I'd seen.

[Tasty]

I don't really think it's much of an RTS aside from moving a bunch of people around.

Still likes enough of that core structure that it's not for me.

[tiesto]

If you've ever played Kirby Mass Attack for DS, I'd chalk it up to being more like that than a traditional RTS (with base building and automatic combat and all that jazz).. you manage a small army and use special moves by drawing motions on the U screen (like, draw a line up to turn your guys into a sword). In the Comic Con demo I played, there's also a gimmicky first person part where you have to look down at the screen and solve a basic puzzle, and a few occasional buttomash QTEs.

[hampster]

So Wonderful 101 is When Vikings Attack with super heroes instead of vikings? 

Vita wins again!

[MyNameIsMethodis]

What are the odds on gamecube VC coming? Is there even a VC on the eshop yet?

When Nintendo gets desperate enough, sure. Should be any day now really.

And no.

welp never getting a wiiu  :'( :'(

[The Sceneman]

I'm going to pick one up at the end of it's cycle when it should have a few good exclusive games. Otherwise I'm still perfectly happy with my Xbox

watching the Mario 64 speed run made me realize I'd love an HD Mario 64 remake that I can play with the Pro controller. Fix the camera, too.

They all add some variety and challenge. There's nothing technically wrong with the vehicle sections either, they're all competent mini-games with responsive controls and their own scoring sections. If you think they're stupid/bad "just because".. well whatever.

[The Sceneman]

I know the Wii Classic controller works with Mario 64 VC. Be silly if the Pro pad doesn't work, but this is Nintendo

[cool breeze]

the Mario 64 speed runs are incredible, and I couldn't pull off a fifth of the stuff they do.

[Huff]

counter-offer: mario 64 on the virtual console as-is, nothing added from the ds version, ain't fixin shit, might work with your pro controller, ten bucks

make it 20 and you have a deal

damnit

[mjemirzian]

Of course Nintendo fans don't want console wars, they're already feeling picked on and marginalized as it is.

I'm excited to see what the next gen has in store, but with a nice PC and more games than I could play in my lifetime right now, my interest in new systems isn't what it used to be.

[iconoclast]

They do add variety, but they do not play to the game's strengths. Again, I'd have no problem with the Alfheims that place limitations on your moveset/abilities if they were one-off challenge rooms. They're fine to complete once as 'puzzles', but they are a chore replay. What's especially baffling about this is how Kamiya had already done it right with DMC: you never have to play a Secret Mission again once you've obtained the reward from it, and that's how it should be.

I don't like the vehicles sections because the stage design is repetitive and imo the mechanics are poor in comparison to the games they're trying to 'pay tribute to', but I still wouldn't want them in the game even if they were good. I play hack & slash action games because I want to hack & slash - everything else is filler.

It would be like playing Dodonpachi, and all of a sudden there's a platforming stage in between 1-3 and 1-4 because Ikeda thought Super Mario Bros was really cool. Nobody wants that.
