I am somewhat interested in this title, but I am not sure if it's worth the (already lower then usual) price. The fact that it was supposed to be an preinstalled game makes me doubt even more.
I would like to know what the situation would be like in a few years! Maybe the wiiU will do bad, it's entirely possible (but that will probably mean that the other consoles will do bad too)! The opposite can also be the truth, and maybe then EA will come back, and all of a sudden they will love the wiiu, because there is a lot of money to milk out of the consoles' owners. Basically it is like stabbing someone in the back, to say sorry later and rob them from their money. I think that this guy can have is opinion, but please: keep it to yourself. If you want an angry horde of nintendo fans to burn you alive with fire flowers and stab you with their collection of master swords, this is the way to get their attention.
If both of the teams work together to create Mario & Sonic Allstars Racing, it would be great! Transformed is surely the better game, although it has a bit less polish.
I have been helping many people out on miiverse already. Some of them are just plain dumb. Here is one example: There is a section where you need to run over a crumbling bridge. The poor guy wasn't able to get past it. So I told him. 'Press and hold B'. He responded with: There is no B button! Me: O.o
@LzQuacker recording is one part of it. There is also a lot of preparation involved (knowing what to do, how to keep the video interesting commentary wise, creating animations etc.) and mostly there is also a lot of editing that needs to be done too. Making a 20 minute episode can easily take op to an hour (if not more) to edit.
@stipey I am not entirely sure, but I believe that commentary makes it so that it is legal for you to use gameplay/music/video because of the 'fair use' policy. It could also be the case that Nintendo simply has not encountered my commentary videos yet, because my view count is very low (10-30 views per video, with a few acceptions ). Nintendo is more likely to get high traffic videos claimed first. I will try and ask around and see if fellow LP'ers have something to add.
Started to notice this three days ago. I am a Let's Player and I play Nintendo's games most of the time. A couple of my videos got tagged by ninty. But just the ones where I didn't do any commentary over the video. I do not earn any money from my videos btw, because it's a hobby and because google doesn't give me acces to adsense. They believe that I will break their rules and such.
Wow, that is a large improvement! But still, we don't know if it is true. I do wonder how much faster it can go then, since we are getting another update this summer.
@Squiggle55 I was thinking of the same thing. But since the games get ported over to wiiU hardware, the developers will be able to use buttons instead.
Lego City Undercover, Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate and I should play some more Paper Mario (N64), because of a Let's Play that I still haven't finished (started it 5 months ago...). I should also get Fire Emblem sooner or later.
@Assassin87 Well, that is a good solution for the problem I have with the storytelling: The Prepper needs to bring the new survivor up to speed with what happened.
@Grubdog I will give you a better example. The following happend to me: Spoiler alert!: I died at the Tower of London, the first time you need to go there you need to reach a helicopter. You talk to a woman trough te Prepper pad first and when you finish that mission there will be a short cutscene. Well, she was talking to Survivor A, and survivor A was unlucky enough to die, just before finishing the objective, which makes the chopper fly away. Survivor B, not aware of what happend, spawns at the safehouse and the Prepper start yelling to you (survivor B) that he overheard your conversation with that woman. End Spoiler So in this situation he is blaming survivor B for something he/she doesn't even know about. It just doesn't make much sense.
I didn't care for my characters in zombiU at all and I only died 3 times. I killed my character once because he looked like an total idiot. Dying in this game also screws up the story: The prepper calls your new character a moron, even when he/she didn't actually achieve something in the game yet.
Haha, I wasn't even aware of that! The funny thing is that I am going to record the final episode of my Super Metroid Let's Play today. Talk about coincidence
Xenoblade and Mario Sunshine! Got these games second hand a couple of weeks ago. Still need to finish both of them, but it will probably not happen this week: TO MUCH HOMEWORK!
@retro_player_22 I know I am going to get Mario & Luigi and Monster Hunter for sure, I love both series. The rest of them don't really appeal to me. It's the art style of Bravely Default that caught my interest. I live in The Netherlands, so most of the games, like Fire Emblem and Code of Princess are still on their way. Now, I still need to find a job to fill my wallet with money for the rest of those games.
It's should not be that hard to come up with something right? Just make the gamepad like a mobile phone or something, since the protagonist is using one for his hacking. A bit like what zombiU did.
