Re: 2DS Now Available For Less Than £100 In The UK

The more I see of this the more I think it will be a big hit. The vita is dying a slow and painfull death while the 3DS / 2DS seems to just keep battling on. I can imagine my daughter wanting to upgrade her dsi to a 2DS very soon. We'll have to see what Santa can do.

Re: FIFA 14 on 3DS is Officially Just a Kit and Roster Update

Gave up on these games years ago. Just the same thing churned out year after year with a few tweaks and certainly not worth shelling out hard earned cash for. It's lazy money spinning by a company relying on the braindead idiots that repeatedly buy this crap. I don't blame them for doing it if stupid gamers carry on buying it. Same with CoD, other sports games, pokemon...

Re: Nintendo Opens Legal Proceedings Against HackYourConsole.com

@Shane904
The producers and retailers know exactly what the buyer is going to do with it and so should be held partly responsible for the illegal use of them. It's not like they can be used in a legal OR illegal way. If you use one it is illegal. The manufacture of these things should be made a criminal offence. Just as the manufacture of pirate DVD's or CD's is.

@Placlu
It's already out in Europe. I tried it and hated it. Definitely not to my liking. I love strategy games like fire emblem and advance wars, and enjoy beat em upa, but didn't like PXZ at all.

@MrSRArter
It's called 'milking it'. They try sell it at full price on the eshop even though you can get for about a tenner second hand. The download versions would sell in much better numbers if the price was reduced a bit.

Re: Rumour: New Call of Duty Title To Be Revealed Next Week

Exciting games but too repetitive. I gave up on them after modern warfare 3. They will just keep bringing them out though. The yearly release formula has worked for FIFA and other games for ages. Why would they do any different with a FPS. Muppets keep on paying their money year after year to get the next rehashed game with slightly different content.

That's a shame. I was hoping that those exact problems would be ironed out in the final release. The fact that they have not means that I shall not be buying this game. I don't want to sit waiting 40 seconds to go into another area. I don't want things popping up out of nowhere.

Re: Nnooo Announces escapeVektor Sale

Dyl_73

It's a great game and well worth the original price. I'm guessing that not enough people bought it though. It's still annoying that it's on sale so quickly after being released. Ho hum, never mind.

Re: Monster Shooter

Dyl_73

Hmm..... Maybe.... Maybe not. Think I'll wait and see what others think of it first. If nobody likes it I won't bother, whereas if it receives a bit of a fan club I'll consider it.

Re: Pachter: Expect a Wii U Price Cut Next Year

Dyl_73

@lmac99 - You're missing part of my point. Serious gamers may jump in and pre-order. But once the initial excitement has died down will it continue to sell? It might. But Nintendo's Wii was successful because it appealed to everyone. Grandma's and mums were playng it. Are these same "older" new gamers going to rush out to upgrade? I doubt it. They'll be happy with what they've got.
And yes, the other two systems are older, but there is no sign of a next gen from them just yet, and the Wii U is not that much more advanced in what it can put out. It's too high a price tag for a lot of people and not that much of a big deal for the "older" or "casual" gamers.
I hope the Wii U is a success. I really do. But I don't think it will be as great a start as other systems have had in the past, (eg Xbox, PS, Wii, DS, SNES, Megadrive.)

Re: Pachter: Expect a Wii U Price Cut Next Year

Dyl_73

I think he's right. Ninty messed up with the 3DS price and I reckon a similar thing could happen with the Wii U. I won't be paying £350 for one anyway. When the Wii came out it was something new and so people saw the band wagon and jumped on it. The 3DS and Wii U are just upgrades to existing things and so not as many people will jump on the wagon this time around. Family gamers are not as bothered about upgrading to the latest system as much as "serious" gamers. That, along with the fact that people don't have as much disposable income anymore, could mean that the Wii U won't sell as quickly until they lower the price.
I predict that within 9 months after launch the price will drop from £350 to around £250.
Why buy a Wii U for £350 when you can get an xbox360 for around £150 or a PS3 for around £170?

Re: Cave Story eShop Release Date Confirmed

Dyl_73

Seems a bit expensive to me. How many times can they re-issue the same game with small alterations before people get wise to it?...... Oh...... erm..... Pokemon, FIFA, PES, Madden, Call of Duty, Mario, the list goes on. I'm losing interest in these games where they expect a high price tag.
Small prices are fine. Full price is not.

Re: Picross E

Dyl_73

Downloaded it and it's great. It's clear to read, easy to mark squares, and it's picross. What more do we need?...... erm..... 3D puzzles would be nice.
