  1. I've got Lego City on its way in the mail and I'll probably pick up Monster Hunter this weekend.
  2. Sweet! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6N0PzqF9gWY&feature=player_embedded

      Saw the trailer on You Tube and it blew me away, I am glad they kept it old school.

  3. Coming May 7th, here is the list of changes/improvements- - described as the "ultimate edition of the game" - in collaboration with Straight Right - boss fights have had their map layouts reworked - new hacking challenges are available - stealth options are available to those who focus on stealth - you can now kill Lawrence Barrett, Yelena Fedorova and Jaron Nammir without firing a single bullet - Barrett boss battle hanger now has a second additional layer so Jensen can hide - the energy system has been made more forgiving by allowing for two energy cells to recharge by default on all but the hardest difficulty - AI has been improved to include the tweaks made for The Missing Link downloadable expansion - enemy cone of vision was made more consistent - all the visual effects seen in The Missing Link were applied to the main game - new fog system that "makes the atmosphere really stand out" - shadows that were choppy have been smoothed - these improvements aren't possible on the 360 - improvements to anti-aliasing - Neural Hub via GamePad lets you use Smart Vision augmentation, which allows players to see enemies through walls - use the GamePad to see enemy health, armor type (heavy, medium or light) and loot - use the GamePad to navigate the menus, to display the map, the augmentation system, the inventory and all the rest - grenade throwback allows Jensen to equip a proximity detector that alerts him to a nearby grenad - if an enemy chucks a grenade at you, the GamePad will vibrate, and you can swipe the touch-screen to pick it up and lob it back - by default, the touch-screen is Jensen's radar - open the 2D map on the GamePad and use the stylus to scribble notes - these are reflected on your main screen radar - use the touch-screen for the hacking mini-game - precision aiming mode on touch screen - includes all of the DLC - The Missing Link DLC is now included in the main story - director's commentary, which is roughly eight hours of chat from Eidos Montreal developers - icons dotted around the world can activate this voice over - no comment on director's cut heading to other platforms http://gonintendo.com/?mode=viewstory&id=198500
  4. Nothing at the moment, waiting for Target to deliver Lego City Undercover, The Walking Dead and Need for Speed.
  5. Whenever I have a choice I always play as a female character and I will go out of my way to buy games with a female lead, if only for eye candy purposes .
  6. These companies just need to give their ''b team'' franchises a shot and give the others a rest. I dont think there are to many Capcom fans who would turn down a new Dino Crisis, Strider or Ghosts 'n Goblins. As for Konami where is Contra, Life Force, Jackal, etc? There are plenty of good franchises, companies would rather let them rot in obscurity though.
  7. Halo God of War Call of Duty Anything Sonic related Anything Mario related
  8. If things are this bad for the Wii U then the inevitability more expensive PS4 and 720 should be put on suicide watch already. The continuing high PS360 sales say to me that nobody is really too eager to upgrade to anything.
  9. Starting Sunday and running for the week Target is having a buy 2 get one free on all games sale as well as giving a $50 gift card with the purchase of a Wii U- http://gonintendo.com/?mode=viewstory&id=197978
  10. I keep going back to Ninja Gaiden 3, I just have an insane amount of fun with the combat. Spent some time diddling around in Assassins Creed 3, I played for 4 hours and literally did nothing but hunt, fight and collect treasure chests.
  11. Super Smash Kittens

  12. Their arrogance. While other companies like MS and Nintendo have chilled the f out and kinda do their own thing, Sony is still trying to push this 90s Sega ''extreme'' attitude with things like digs at Nintendo and the infamous horses ass PS3 launch ''You'll work 2 jobs to afford one/I'll give someone x thousand dollars if they can find a PS3 on store shelves'' comments. Combine that with the embarrassing, near constant removal of features from the PS3 and I pretty much just think they're assholes. They also have the absolute worst, most obnoxious online fanboys of anything that has ever existed. That being said I'd still put the PS2 in my top 3 of best consoles ever. They really only lost me this current gen.
  13. It's still months away, there's plenty of time for the flies in the ointment to surface. All I need to picture is the current PS3 hardware which is an utter shell of it's former self. I don't trust Sony as far as I can throw them.
  14. PSN purchases will not carry over to PlayStation 4 ''In news that is sure to encourage grimacing and facepalming, Sony has confirmed purchases made on the PlayStation Network will not carry over from PS3 to PS4. Same goes for your game saves, too. For Christ's sake, Sony ... you just couldn't resist gunning for some bad PR.'' http://www.destructoid.com/psn-purchases-will-not-carry-over-to-playstation-4-246229.phtml
  15. But the difference is Nintendo is only charging $1 to update your VC games with updated Wii U features, if you choose to do so. If not they're still playable, as are your original Wii games. Sony wants you to throw out your $60 discs and buy them again.
  16. I was cautiously optimistic but I didn't hear anything that even made me raise an eyebrow in interest. The lack of BC is a huge knock against it imo.
  17. The gamepad has quickly become one of my most favorite controllers. The width of it feels much more natural and comfortable than I thought it would. Other controllers feel way too small for my hands now.
  18. How many developers had their backs broken by the costs of development this gen alone? They claim to be scraping by as it is, I frankly don't know how many could afford to make the jump to a more expensive 8th gen. At the very least all you will see are sure bet sequels and indie games, the days of mid-tier developers and publishers are just about over; one mediocre selling game puts them under now, who will have the fortitude to produce games (or take chances) when the stakes are even higher? At the end of the day I think you'll see middle tier developers embracing the U as a more cost effective HD option rather than breaking the bank on the other consoles.
  19. It's all a matter of perspective. From the numbers I've seen the U is doing just as well now 3 months in as the PS360 were doing at 18 months into their lifespan. The U sold about 3 million in 3 months, the 360 did about 5 million in 18 months.
  20. Playing Cabelas Dangerous Hunts 2013. This may be the nuttiest game I've ever played. Picture Call of Duty but replace the enemies with every wild animal in Africa jumping out of trees to savage you. The first level has you outright thrill killing water buffalos then blasting hyenas and a rhino with a Desert Eagle. It's definitely worth at least a rental if you want some laughs.
  21. It just seems odd to me that everyone plays wait and see with Nintendo but they're perfectly willing to put all their eggs in the studio destroying Sony and MS baskets. What is it, 150 studios out of business this gen? It can't cost much to post a bloody Tiger Woods game, I'm sure they'd easily recoup their costs.
  22. I need only point people to the current prices of ebooks. Many times on Amazon you'll see an ebook retail for $15 while the bloody hardcover is either the same price or a hair cheaper/more expensive. I'm no engineer but one would tend to think that a file of 1s and 0s would have less associated costs than a hardcover book.
  23. I see that Chris Brown crashed his car. His OnStar must have been getting a bit lippy.

  24. I used to buy every console that came out but I just can't justify it anymore. I bought the Wii U and that's what I'll be sticking with, for better or worse. At the end of the day I ended up enjoying the oddball/niche/low budget titles on the Wii far more than the ''OMFG pants-creaming AAA titles'' on the PS360 and if the Wii U gets the same niche support I'll be a happy boy. The days of me dropping hundreds of $$$ to play varying shades of the same console and big budget game genres are over.
