Re: Humble Bundle Issues Official Statement About Region-Locked Nintendo Promotion

Hamguar

To those fussing over the exclusivity I respectfully ask that you get a hold of yourself and look at the big picture. Already, they had a few people point out and apologize over the region locking. This obviously with it doing well and many people voicing their grievances is more fuel to the get rid of region locking fire. It's great Nintendo has jumped on the Humble bundle bandwagon, great that it's raising a good chunk of change, and great that there are people voicing at desire to participate(i.e. not pissing and moaning like a two year old). Anything that concretely shows Nintendo that it's not worthwhile to have region locking is great and if it takes a limited humble bundle or two to finally end it then it would be more that worth it.

Re: ​The Prices of the Remaining Physical Goods on Club Nintendo in North America Have Been Reduced

Hamguar

The heck! Has no one ever been in a store going out of business? First, and unfortunately it may come as a shock, no one is entitled to anything, hell not even the next day. Second, it's normal for stores that are liquidating all products to reduce price to ensure they will all be gone. As to what, well normally you would expect all the good stuff to go and the 70%+ off is usually the offal. Heck I'm sure that they are just as surprised that some really nice loot are still available. It's one thing to be a little bit upset that you missed out on some good deals, but to come off as Nintendo has cleverly pulled the wool over your eyes and slighted you big time is nothing more than asinine logic you would expect from a toddler.

@Falk_Sturmfels
Well that depends on you. Finishing all the quests shouldn't take more than a few tens of hours, all weapons and armor would be low to mid 100s. Then there are some that just play and play and play since it's just a blast for them. I personally had about 1500 or so when I decided to take a little hiatus, but I know of people who have played even more.

Re: Science Tries To Ruin Our Fun As Zelda's Hookshot And Mario Galaxy's Planets Come Under Scrutiny

Hamguar

@Darknyht You've best summed it all up for me. Science has no bearing at all in the realms of fantasy, to mix the two is silly at best and just plain stupid at worst. To have a fanciful what if moment is perfectly fine and a good exercise of the mind from time to time. But if you are wasting precious funds on outlandish garbage like Mario Galaxy "Physics" or take 85% of what game theory says seriously, then you have issues.

Re: Poll: Which Is The Best Legend Of Zelda Game?

Hamguar

It looks about right. You figure on top would be LttP, OoT, MM, TP, WW and SS. TP for me but honestly It's like saying pick your favorite child (not really but you know what I'm getting at). They all are amazing games.

Re: Former Criterion Boss Alex Ward Laments Issues With Releasing Need For Speed On Wii U

Hamguar

All I got from this was bed wetter pissing on about some poor experience then like the greatest of non-genuses and proceed to show AAA immaturity and needlessly burn bridges. At best, just another FEZ whiner. Yes he should feel bad for getting crapped on hard by EA, who wouldn't, but the foolishness he displayed afterwards is all on him.

Should have taken a page from Inafune. As far as I know, he has not openly pissed himself over Capcom and knowing Capcom's rep with it's employees he very well could have tons to grip about and didn't. He just left and did something constructive about his situation rather than crying on Twitter like a Middle School tween.

Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Direct Pointed to Another Wii U Retail Drought

Hamguar

Well to those who have the time to game hard that does seem to not bode well. But the last year plus of my gaming was consumed hardcore by Monster Hunter 3U and Pokemon X I still have every other game out already to tide me over heck I still have to go out and get a bunch. Any Lull would be welcoming for me. I seriously need to catch up.

Re: Less Than 5% of Those Polled by the Game Developers Conference Have Wii U Plans

Hamguar

@Fazermint
That is exactly what I was thinking. This biggest issue with people developing games for nintendo systems IS the fact that we buy Nintendo games both in type and quality. I, like many others who are accustomed to buying things that actually work, won't buy POS games that seem to be flooding the market. This is not to say Ninty hasn't made it's fair share of piles or needed patches as well, but still for the most of it I've only seen a genuine desire to actually TRY to make quality games come from Nintendo and a select few developers/indies, to which I gladly fund and support. Most of those there are rank and file independants looking to make the most while doing the least, hence why they all gravitate to PC/Smartphone drivel.

Re: Ubisoft Refuses to Comment on Watch_Dogs Wii U Cancellation Rumours

@gatorboi352

You are only looking at half the problem. Yes there are those that only seek 1st party, but then you have to ask yourself why? No one just flippantly decides this or anything really, there is purpose to all action. Experience shows us that most 1st party only people are jaded from the vast amount of shovelware produced and peddled to them. Heck you only have to look at the lunacy of ME3 on wii u while they also released a full trilogy on all other systems at the same time. All in all it's an unending cycle. 3rd party half assing games and Nintendo fans showing no interest or support as a result which in turns goads them to try even less or simply pull support. The solution is that 3rd partys need to stop with these half hearted attempts and make an effort in what they send over to the Wii U AND Nintendo needs to build some bridges with 3rd party. Both sides need to own up and do some work for this nonsense to stop.

Re: Mighty No. 9 Studio Comcept Facing Fan Backlash Over Community Manager Appointment

@Karakato Too late for that.
Anywho, If she does her job without any political chicanery or playing the gender card then what the hey. But given that it is implied that she was given the position via nepotism(if true a valid complaint) and there is no real experience with the product(also valid) then it doesn't look good so far.

Honestly, I can't see why even the whole SJW nonsense is even a thing. If people want equality then do so with your actions. Words are cheap and plentiful. In the similar vein of Morgan Freeman's solution to racism, just stop. Trust me, it really does work. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2d2SzRZvsQ

Re: Monster Hunter 4 Has Shipped Over Four Million Units in Japan

@Wolf_Link
Yikes! I hope not digital only. I would have to pass up on it. I'm a physical copy kinda guy. Heck it's the same reason I want nothing to do with Ace DD. The fact that in most circumstances you do not own the game and that it is tied to a system/cloud is appalling to me. I'm not one to pay for a game that dies with a system or is in a cloud that is supported at the whims of a company. If a system breaks you can replace it no big issue, but if as it stands if the system breaks then you are out the system and, for some people, upwards to thousands of dollars needlessly.

Re: Talking Point: Nintendo's Safe and Family-Friendly Focus is Integral to Its Fortunes

@AugustusOxy
You know swinging to an extreme POV you dislike in an attempt to discredit said point of view is foolish and does little to serve in bringing people across to your side. This is hardly is a heavy handed as it is made to be.

Sending lewd pics to underage kids is really messed up stuff and a serious offence in most countries. We can say all we want about how Nintendo essentially napalmed the situation, but in all honesty I rather focus my frustration on the brain trust that thought it genius to send vulgar crap to lil runties and ruined the service for all of us because frankly they are the ones who truly are to blamed for this debacle. I just hate the fact that we have to be nannied because certain people just can't show some sense of responsibility.

I just hope that this is either replaced by miiverse or reinstituted in some form soonish.
