By the time it's ported it'll be too late. If anything, Nintendo fans should be begging for a Ground Zeroes multi-platform release when its day one release arrives.
I've never been to Australia but in America there is an overabundance of wild animals. Unless you live in the city, you're bound to run into a wild animal.
Here in the midwest there are: mountain lions, bears (rare), racoons, ferocious hill billies, coyotes, rattle snakes and big foot. Of course, if you were to head into the rocky mountains, then well, I think you can do your own research.
The point is, is that a lot of people are attacked by animals on a global scale. Having a weapon to defend yourself isn't such a bad idea.
I know you're against the hunting of animals, but Cabela's games, in no way, advertise their merchandise or force anyone to hunt. There's no menu that pops up after the developer's logo that says: "Buy our guns and hunt defenseless animals in your backyard! It's funny!"
It's just an appropriate way for people who hunt to enjoy a video game they can relate to. Identical to the point of other sport games. (Such as Madden, NCAA, NHL, etc.)
I thought we were discussing the message Cabela's video games supposedly exposed? Because it's just as guilty as any other violent video game out there and should not be singled out. You should bring up other violent games to benefit yourself even though it's been proven that mankind does not learn from violence and sex in video games, books and movies, unless they're mentally ill.
Hunting is a sport, and like the NFL there is merchandise to be sold and the sport has to have a supporting message to encourage others to watch and partake in it.
If Cabela didn't encourage others to hunt, it wouldn't be as big as it is today, let alone the chance it would still exist.
Medal of Honor does not support a pro war message.
If this attracts people to get involved into hunting, so be it. It's a widely appreciated sport here in America and usually provides food for said family. Killing bears and alligators on the other hand, doesn't necessarily make sense.
But that's the thing: unless it's in self defense, killing those creatures should be known to be a no-no. And unless you're too young to understand or mentally ill, you should know this.
If kids learn from this game that killing animals is intense and fun, then I don't see why they wouldn't get the same impression from a game like Manhunt or GTA.
As much as I'd love another remake of Resident Evil, I'd rather have Capcom put their time and effort into a sequel, spin off, or even a new IP altogether.

I honestly could not understand a word you just typed.
I found the campaign to be a breath of fresh air compared to its predecessor's. With multiple endings and more set pieces than I had intended, made for a surprisingly fun offline experience.
And I agree, Zombies was actually fun this time around. I had more laughs playing that than the actual multiplayer, which, is too balanced. Found it boring as it provides no real challenge for veteran players.
When you make a crappy game, of course you're going to recieve harsh feedback. And if you knew the weaknesses of the game, why are you so surprised? It's like starting a tree on fire and knowing the leafs going to burn first, then it happens and you're surprised the leafs burned first.

Overrated? Yet you play Mario.

Every game that isn't NightSky, is below average at best. Yes, even Cave Story.
Re: XSEED Publishing Rune Factory 4 In North America
@CanisWolfred
Did Nintendo announce a release date?
Re: XSEED Publishing Rune Factory 4 In North America
Like others have said, New Leaf will be released soon, so diving into RF4 as soon as it releases sounds like a terrible idea.
I'll definitely pick it up after I'm done with New Leaf. Which will be a year after it releases.
Re: There's Hope For Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance On Wii U Yet

Logic is null nowadays.

Great review Corbie. I think I'll wait to pick this up. Too much for a sports game.
Re: Feature: Reimagining The Wind Waker on Wii U
Everything will be fine and dandy as long as Nintendo prices it right.
Re: Hyrule Historia Is The Number One Best Selling Book In The US
I seriously thought this was the best selling book in the U.S. in general, lol.
I guess I was as surprised as the title is misleading.
Re: Review: Ikachan (3DS eShop)
@rayword45
Most of the games Nicalis develops aren't anything above average.
The fanbase overrates them.
Re: Review: Ikachan (3DS eShop)
Nicalis, how mediocre you have become.

Ocelot at number 9? Great list. I support this list.
Psycho Mantis at 13? Yep, I'm in love.
Re: THQ President: Lack Of Vigil Buyer Is A "Travesty"
I'm sure Activision or EA will buy the Red Faction license. I could see EA buying Vigil and merging it with Visceral Games.

Instant buy. I have no idea what it's going to be like but I love supporting indy developers. It's my guilty pleasure.

Re: Review: Cabela's Dangerous Hunts 2013 (Wii U)
That he does. Just because you've never encountered a dangerous animal that had its eyes on you, doesn't mean it doesn't happen.
Re: Review: Cabela's Dangerous Hunts 2013 (Wii U)
Tell that to hikers. Wild animals don't need to be antagonized to attack humans. You should know this as this is merely common sense.

Next time a bear is trying to kill me and I have a shotgun, I'll be sure to drop the gun and run in a straight path.
Because that's so effective.

Re: Review: Cabela's Dangerous Hunts 2013 (Wii U)
Cabela wouldn't be as big it is today without its publicity. The hunting community in its entirety, I'm not sure. I'm not God. lol

Re: Review: Cabela's Dangerous Hunts 2013 (Wii U)
I'm talking about the games.
I don't know why it surprises you that a hunting company supports hunting.
Re: Review: Cabela's Dangerous Hunts 2013 (Wii U)
Cabela supports hunting as much as GTA supports robbing, smoking and, well, grand theft auto.
Hint: It doesn't.

Re: Review: Cabela's Dangerous Hunts 2013 (Wii U)
Oh, and this game is made by the same people who make Call of Duty. Go figure...
Treyarch and Infinity Ward were not involved in this game's development cycle whatsoever. Don't attack when you don't know what you're attacking.
Re: Fist of the North Star: Ken's Rage 2 Will Be Download-Only In Europe
Bass is right. It's the cheapest route to expose your products, a route most developers want to take.

Now Nintendo, onto part 2. Release it overseas.

Re: Capcom Wants Your Help For Future Digital Releases
Yeah, nothing like remaking games that have been remade a thousand times already.
Re: Capcom Wants Your Help For Future Digital Releases
Capcom needs your help making buttloads of cash.
So get to it.

Re: Rayman Legends Demo Finally Arrives In The Wii U eShop
It's odd how Sonic All Star Racing only allows 15 plays. Fun demo nonetheless.
