There's only one in my area and if they don't get it I guess I'm outta luck. There's like 1500 stores in the US so that needs to be taken into account as well.

I'd pass, looks like every other phone out there and I don't play their "games" either.

Shanksta commented on Nintendo Download: 2nd May 2013 (North America):
@Wiidsguy I would get it. In my opinion Megaman 1 was harder than 2 the first time I played it. It wasn't as good as two but it was still fun.

Yeah, right. The day that happens is the day I quit playing videogames forever. A.K.A. Never. Most mobile games that are 'casual' are crappy anyway so I don't think any "real" gamer will ever go that far.

Thank you, Nintendo. Personally I think cloud gaming is stupid. Granted 3ds to WiiU transfer would be cool for save data, but you can do that already with Monster Hunter. I love that I can play DLC for games even when not connected to the internet. My friend that owns an Xbox can't play any DLC whenever his internet disconnects. This news just made my day.

I'm glad they're adding more bosses and 30+ plus levels to the actual game since they have more time with it. Complaining about a delay is stupid, especially when they brought it up to August now and are working hard on adding more to it. Plus this challenge app is awesome, getting all gold so far has been pretty difficult.

Just from that, the bear power looks like the dumbest of the group. Wolf was ok I guess just made things a little too easy. Eagle was more into the realm of "super heroes" and was odd. This one looks way over the top, not that its supposed to be realistic but the main draw to ACIII, not the dlc, was the realism. Could end up being really fun though, I'll have to wait until next week.

That games looks awesome. I loved the Portal games and this reminds me of those, so it should be good.

How are people upset by the cancellation of this, or even think that it looks epic or amazing. The graphics look ok, not great. The gameplay looks repetitive and boring. Overall, good job Capcom, for once you cancel I game that I agree should never have seen the light of day.

Shanksta commented on Aliens: Colonial Marines Cancelled on Wii U:
Bummer. At least this crap didn't touch the WiiU. Now SEGA must destroy GEARBOX for the betrayal they have committed with this trash.

Whoo! I'm not typically a fan of RPGs like Final Fantasy, although I did like Chrono Trigger. So far I'm 2 for 2 on Operation Rainfall games and I may as well just finish the set.

Shanksta commented on LucasArts Shut Down By Disney:
I'm pretty sure the Rogue Squadron games were published by Lucas Arts, but developed by Factor 5. Granted they haven't done anything lately worth noting. Still this is very disheartening since I thought Star Wars 1313 looked like a third party Uncharted.

Shanksta commented on Shigeru Miyamoto Makes His Miiverse Debut:
I really hope that the 3D mario game for Wiiu this year will turn into a 3D luigi game. That would be awesome. Instead of Bowser you'd be up against Wort from Super Mario Bros 2(North America Version). Something just to mix it up would be fantastic!

Cool. I think it would be fun to use since I am really starting to think about going in to videogame development, when I finish my next year of college.

I couldn't care less. I play the game but not enough to care about fixes. Granted I was surprised at how many fixes there were, but when my brother and I mainly play zombies and we get no new map or mode, I just don't care anymore.

Shanksta commented on Wii U Version of Need For Speed: Most Wanted U...:
Game looks awesome, I'll buy it for sure. I don't usually get DLC for games anyway unless they add new missions. Need for Speed DLC is always like a new car or something and can't justify spending money on something so superfluous.
#19
Shanksta commented on Dead Island: Riptide Is Skipping Wii U:
I hated the first one, so I don't really care. The emphasis on melee made it so the only fun way to play was to treat the thumbstick like your swinging pattern, but then it became impossible to play since you couldn't really fight a group swinging different ways fast enough. I didn't think it was going to warrant a sequel but I guess that's just me.

Shanksta commented on Nintendo States That an External Hard Drive is...:
@oldaq The games have an icon on the main menu and you launch just like anything else.
I bought a 2TB hard drive a week before launch as a contingency. If the stores around me don't have the game yet or release it until tuesday when the release date is monday, then I will download it. I guess I'd get 5 bucks back anyway so I might just download it towards the digi deluxe promo:)

Shanksta commented on Pandora's Tower Will Be Invading North America...:
Noo! I'm not really that upset but I was hoping that gamestop was right with their release date of March 26. Oh well, will definitely pick this up because 1) it looks awesome and 2) I really want to support localization of more games like this.

Shanksta commented on PETA Starts "Whaling" About Assassin's Creed I...:
I'll kill a whale in a video game because I'll probably get some in-game money and its not real and I have enough common sense to know he difference between reality and video games. I get what PETA is saying but they're idiots about most other things so I really just don't care what they have to say. I also get the arguments about the realism of the videogame desensitizes people, but I would argue against that, I mean unless you are some kind of idiot.

Wow, that looks crazy. The more I see for the WiiU this the more I'll probably buy it eventually even though I already have the 3DS one.

Shanksta commented on Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag is Confirmed Fo...:
I kinda wish they would've either picked a subtitle for the game or a number. 1,2, and 3 were all numbered but only the "expansion" titles had subtitles. I guess they haven't announced anything yet, but if its still Connor "Black Flag" would suffice. However, if its a new ancestor they should just call it IV. I know I sound picky, but why change the rules of your numbering system after 5 games?

This game coming to WiiU is good news, but I'm not a fan of the new voice actor/ playstyle. I wish this new game was like the old ones. I've yet to decide if I'll get it or not.

Shanksta commented on Video: Grab a Sneak Peak of WiiWare Console-Ex...:
If I wanted it on my computer I would have gotten it months ago. I just don't like playing games on my computer. Plus I want to use the wiiremote since it is perfectly suited to games like this.

Shanksta commented on Nintendo - "Innovation is Important" for the 2...:
I personally like playing the NSMB games(I didn't really care for 2 on the 3ds, mainly the coin thing got really repetitive and annoying). Collecting the big coins in all of the games is fun, but I think they should remove them from future titles and add something else extra to do in the levels rather than 'find three big coins' every time.
Look at Donkey Kong Country Returns, there are a lot of things to collect in those levels and it doesn't really get boring. I mean even just making the games harder would probably help enough to help the series since, they are fun but for the most part extremely easy. That's my two cents.

F-Zero, both monster hunter demos, and Assassin's Creed DLC for me.

I agree there servers should be better, but I'll definitely get this. I've bought every dlc from every AC game to this point, why stop now?
#35
Shanksta commented on Rayman Legends Challenge Mode Coming Exclusive...:
@OGGamer First, how is Rayman mediocre?
Second, I think what people mean is that if a large game like Rayman isn't supported, there's the possibility that third party support could repeat itself. Granted I was mad about the delay, but when the people who weren't responsible are reaching out to appease the chaos, maybe its time to grow up and think "I don't owe them anything, and they don't owe me anything." So by us getting anything for FREE, we might as well take it as a win since no other system is getting the online mode until the game comes out(NOT A DEMO).
Nobody got super butthurt about past games that got delayed, eg. Pikmin, Wonderful 101. Yeah the delay of this game is to port it over to other consoles, even though its complete, is stupid. From what the developers are saying though, they are going to add more to the actual game so when it comes out we get more content. If they would've said that in the first place without emphasizing the "porting" part, I wouldn't have been as upset.
#36
Shanksta commented on Rayman Legends Challenge Mode Coming Exclusive...:
I'm fine with this. The challenge mode was way more than I though we would get and its way better then a demo since there are new challenges being updated all the time. I'll definitely download this, and buy the game when it comes out, even though I still think the decision was stupid. I think the game will be even better by the time it comes out

Shanksta commented on Masahiro Sakurai: Stories in Video Games Can b...:
I agree for the most part, but I think that some games that have ridiculously long cutscenes are great. Metal Gear Solid in particular, those games had many cutscenes and I think the last one in Guns of the Patriots clocked at 90 minutes or something. When I watched it, it was great for me and didn't seem cumbersome.
Then there are games where I wish there were more cutscenes like Fire Emblem: Awakening. I understand with that game that the pre-rendered portions don't show your customized character because then they would have to do one for every different configuration. Or not have it be pre-rendered which I think looks amazing. Still a lot of the time I end up wanting more. Awakening is still a fantastic game though.
I guess my point is that there is no clear cut-down-the-middle for this argument and each side has great examples of each. (I did like the story being tied into the gameplay for Kid Icarus through the dialogue as well)

Shanksta commented on Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate ...:
@Peach64 I don't think so, I might be a good idea, but from what I've heard the lords of shadow 2 picks up after the other one but this one is like a sidestep.

Shanksta commented on Rumour: Ubisoft's Watch Dogs Is Coming To The ...:
I'll buy this. I'll probably go for a used version though. If you support stupid, it'll just keep being stupid. Now if they bring the new Rainbow Six I might start buying new Ubisoft games again, but that might be a stretch.

@AbeVigoda Only mindless drones take videogame website reviews as law. There have been plenty of games in the past that I've enjoyed and all the reviews were junk. Fist of the North star (I didn't buy it, not my kind of game) got a bad review from NL and there are people out there who love it. It really just comes down to what kind of games you like and if its flaws really matter to you.

@Tethers He said that it should be within the next couple weeks. I'm tired of waiting too but on his facebook page he said that Wii players will get a nice bonus. No idea what it is though. I can't wait.
Fire Emblem DLC and streetview for me.

When I get paid on Friday i think I'll support this. This'll be my first kickstarter pledge ever and it seems well worth it

Shanksta commented on Rumour: Gearbox Played Secondary Role in Alien...:
I'll buy it on day one, gameplay videos I've seen look fun enough. I'm a huge aliens fan and so are my friends, so we'll probably play some of the multiplayer modes. I tend not to listen to reviews anymore, since most people are biased against certain games.
Example: A couple people on metacritic have related this game to COD and said that the sound effects on the assault rifles are dumb. That's how they sound in the movie, so who cares? Also IGN sucks.
#46
Shanksta commented on Rayman Legends Boss and Dev Team Protest Wii U...:
I like how Ubisoft's facebook page has literally not responded to this development on their facebook page, or anything else for that matter since Friday. They must know that the situation has become a powder keg and that they in THE DANGER ZONE! Here's to hoping they wise up and fast.
#47
Shanksta commented on Rumour: Gearbox Played Secondary Role in Alien...:
@Jukilum So I assume the movies aren't appropriate for ANYONE to watch then?
I'm sick of hearing about this being compared to Duke Nukem. Gearbox did Duke because it was mostly finished when they purchased it. This game may end up being crap(I hope not, since I don't listen to reviewers) and if it does it will be Gearbox's fault because they completely made this one. Also there's no way that this game will be worse than 007 legends (which I played) so I'll be fine with it.

Shanksta commented on Rayman Legends Boss and Dev Team Protest Wii U...:
@Kyoto Agreed. Also knowing the talent that they have, someone would hire them in a heartbeat.
#49
Shanksta commented on Rayman Legends Boss and Dev Team Protest Wii U...:
That's ballsy. I completely respect them for it and I hope this shows Ubisoft how stupid they're acting. I hope nothing bad happens to Michel Ancel or others because of this though.

Shanksta commented on Codemasters Producer: Wii U is "The Future":
I wish they would make another Overlord game and bring it to WiiU. They were similar in concept to Pikmin, but I loved the good/evil paradigm choices as well as the dark humor. Who doesn't want to pillage a town using minions? Until then I will play Wonderful 101 and Pikmin 3
