Seriously?
If the kid was already a parent at 13, you think it's the video games that caused him to attack someone?
It's not like the kids life could be just ****** up.

@Stark_Nebula
The Wind Waker comparison isn't apt since it's still majorly the same series, just new art style, but you still knew it's Zelda, with majorly the same tone.
This on the other hand looks like Dead Space or Halo with Mega Man slapped on it to appeal to the superficial western gamers. (Which is all Inafune cares about nowadays.)
It's not comparable to Metroid Prime either, since MP didn't completely change tone, it's still Metroid with similar ideas but in a new perspective.
If any comparison is apt to this it's DmC.

I really can't stand dark and edgy reboots of everything in an attempt to appeal to the dudebro crowd, so no.

Suprised people are offended by this, this is pretty tame for most JRPGs (Or anime ones I should say.)
But I guess since Awakening is having a much wider audience, NOE decided to change it.

The whole thing is even worse, when Rein was asked if there would be UE4 support for WiiU, the whole room of devs laughed. Hahaha, no.

mastersworddude commented on Epic Games Rules Out Unreal Engine 4 For Wii U:
Oh man, all the hype from Nintendrones about 3rd party games on WIIU sure died down lately, Now it's just "I only like Nintendo games anyways!"
Remember when everyone was saying it won't have the same 3rd party issues the Wii had? Yeah.. Same problem again.

why put a game on WiiU if they don't think the time and money invested will be worth it? Its not their job to support the platform when its not doing well, its Nintendo's to give them a reason to.

This has nothing to do with people trying to screw the Wii U, the development of this game is such a train wreck. I'm guessing SEGA just wants to move on from this crap Gearbox shat out because they didn't care and took their money.

The game is truly garbage anyway, plus the less who support Gearbox the better.

If there is one thing I hate about Nintendo Life it's the countless Nintendrones who defend Nintendo no matter what and will never admit Nintendo could make a mistake.
Tying it to the console is really an archaic system for full retail downloads.

Apparently the devs are pretty broken up over this, said the were working overtime to get the game done and it turns out the higher ups at Ubisoft decided they'd release it in the Fall as a multiplat.

It's there own fault when this underperforms sales wise in the Fall.
#29

Wow. lol
Nintendo really needs to step it up with the Wii U, seems like there is a constant stream of dissapointing news.
Has there really been any pleasant suprises Nintendo has shown with the Wii U?

People in full force making excuses anytime Nintendo makes questionable descisions.
I don't get it, it's not like it is not techincally possible to do it, the PSP and PS3 can share save files for PSOne classics, which use different emulators.

mastersworddude commented on Wii U Advert Banned In The UK:
@DarkKirby
The problem with your examples is simple.
Is it reasonable to think redbull will give you actual wings or that stuff will fly out of the 3DS?
No, not anyone with common sense.
Is it reasonable to think the WiiU will allow off-TV play for every game?
Yes, unless you actual know it does not by looking it up, the ad dosen't clarify you can't.
It's not common sense for some without knowing about it to think "Well OBVIOUSLY it will only work with some games."
It's that simple, and you are sounding like a Nintendo fanboy, because you are trying to bring up an unreasonable point rather than just using common sense.

@luminalace
Negative articles will stop once Nintendo stops making questionable decisions. (And I don't see how the Youtube thing is a shot at Nintendo, it was Google's fault in the first place.)
If you think Nintendo Life is out to bash Nintendo, I wonder what you think about most general gaming sites.
#35
mastersworddude commented on Nintendo Is Not Working On Fix For Wii U's Slo...:
Doubt they would bother to fix it anyway.
The lighter apps are HTML-based. In those instances, starting up a web renderer every single time is incredibly inefficient.
If they wanted to do it like that, they should have made the entire OS and every app HTML-based, then use a single web renderer to view it all.
Switching apps would take less than a second if they did so.
They'd have to rework the thing, the way they load apps needs to change, and any apps that are native would need to be rewritten in HTML.
@PokeTune, What do you expect? NLife has quite a lot of Nintendrones that defend everything Nintendo does.
#36
mastersworddude commented on Nintendo Is Sorry For Wii U Load Times, Is Wor...:
From the sounds of things, some apps are HTML, some are native, and since the OS can't tell which is which, each HTML app is it's OWN web renderer that needs to start up every time. Kind of like every VC game including it's own emulator.
And I see the Nintendo defense force has come out strong here, I guess Nintendo can do no wrong, and anyone who calls out their backwards decisions are haters.
Remember guys, if it isn't over a minute, then it isn't slow!
@Buzzthebatgirl What does that have to do with anything? It's nearly 2013, it's dumb that loading the Youtube app takes so much longer than the function does on pretty much every other modern hardware.
But hey at least it's faster than 20 year old hardware, you ungrateful haters!

I am face palming so hard right now.
It's ignorant attempt to find something to blame for what happened with no evidence to support it.
He had pictures of guns in his basement? He liked tanks? Must of been a military video game that caused him to kill children.
He played Dynasty Warriors? A fantasy game about sword fighters in ancient Asia? Must of influenced him to steal a gun and shoot children.

wow.
Reaaallly bare bones.
Went out of their way remove ANY possible internet connection, and also went and removed component cable support, so you're stuck with murky RCA picture. It's just hard for me to believe ANY modern gaming console, revision or not, is exclusively RCA compatible.
100$ is too much IMO.

Pfft, Nintendo never ceases to amaze me with such archaic restrictions,
Anything Nintendo does is ok to the Nintendrones I guess.

mastersworddude commented on Hacker Claims To Have Deciphered Wii U CPU and...:
I'd be honestly amazed if the Wii U has some brilliant CPU architecture that would be able to make 1.2ghz work with ports from the Next Xbox and/or PS4.
#43
mastersworddude commented on Hacker Claims To Have Deciphered Wii U CPU and...:
Has there been a single positive hardware leak so far? Honest question, so far everything seems to disappoint even modest expectations.
I still don't understand why the Wii U is being sold at a loss. Everything sounds like it's dirt cheap to produce. Even the GamePad is hardly a marvelous piece of high end hardware...
Oh I know why, CPUs with these kinds of clock speeds must be super rare to find in 2012.

What's next? Take out the Wii Menu all together? Or one that is only compatible with select Nintendo games? Not sure how much further you could strip a Wii console.
#48
mastersworddude commented on The Wii U CPU Is "Horrible" According To Metro...:
@Ren Yup this happens anytime someone dares to criticize Nintendo or the WiiU, and if any of the complaints turn out to be valid, everyone just says "It's not a big deal" or "I don't care about anyway"
It seems like everyone was hyping what the Wii U about it's power, multiplatform games, and online, but now that it's out and everyone is fine with Nintendo missing common things that consoles have had for 6 years.

mastersworddude commented on Wii U Mass Effect 3 Owners Cannot Retake Omega:
Why would anyone want to play the third one alone anyways? The only reason to even play it IMO, is to finish the story and import from the first 2. And even then the story writing in this one is pretty poor.
