How is not working on video game commercials slavery or preventing him from earning a living? Sony having someone who did countless playstation ads not promote Nintendo or X-box escially since they are in direct competition with them or another video game maker without coming across as Kevin Butler which is kind of hard and not at all for a period of time after working with Sony seems perfectly reasonable to me. He also should be able to find work non video game work without him or his family starving.
The customer service varies with the employees at the store. My local GameStop has great customer service and very knowledgeable about . Fact one of them remembers who I am even when I am on the phone and don't say my name.
To the people who say GameStop trade in prices are a ripoff. It's like a pawn shop, you easily sell your products and get cash/store credit. They have to buy things at low prices in order to make a profit on them.
So do you believe it's scale effect from companys do that make it wrong? Plus older games can be hard to find new but easy to find used. Oh and no offense taken, I can understand why you might think its wrong. One more question, do you think the its wrong for company's to buy and sell used games that are 8 months old?
@Dogpigfish How is it stealing? I it was stealing wouldn't it be illegal. Once you buy a game the developer/publisher have no ownership over that copy of the game and you have the right to sell it if you please. They made it, but you bought what they made and can do what you please with it. While it doesn't help the developers when you buy used you are in no way stealing from them.
This is rediculous! I'm paying $75 for the game intially and it only gets me three characters and three stages, you've got to be kidding me, and then you want me to buy power ups for $5! I thought sky landers was bad, but that was just characters, this everything is DLC, most of the game is DLC when your already paying $75 for the game. Which is already pretty expensive. (Rant/)
@OorWullie Gun laws have nothing to do with hunting laws, you can still hunt with a bow, so gun laws are not the problem here, it's hunting laws you should be talking about here and last I remembered nobody goes hunting with an AK-47.
@Bass_X0 I have no earthly idea how you can honestly say the life of a rabbit is as valuable as a child's, I really don't. A child's life is much much more valuable than any animals life, and animals like bears, tigers, and packs of wolfs are not defenseless (not saying its ok to go out and hunt because they are not defenseless) and some would kill you without being provoked at all. (Still not saying wether it's ok) A humans life is much more valuable than an animals I don't see how you could believe otherwise.
@OorWullie there are idiots and people with common sense in your country and the U.S. Am I calling people Thailand people idiots? No I'm not so don't call U.S. people idiots please.
@Bankai We Americans value our freedom including the second amendment (the right to own guns) to our constitution. Gun ownership being legal itself is not a problem if someone really wants to kill people there are many ways to do it. Someone blew up a building by making a bomb with stuff like fertilizer, and if we ban guns criminals will still be able to get them just fine to rob stores, plus did you think of the crimes prevented by law abiding citizens with guns
@castlezelda hunting is nessecary where I am, there are a buch a deer and no wolfs or other animals to hunt them since they just can't live here, fact all the dear do around here is cause car crashes and eat people's plants, if there was no hunting there would be an increase in car crashes everybody's plants would get eaten and the deer would just start to starve, if a hunter collects deer meat from hunting I see no problem, he is simply doing what a wolf would be doing in the balance of nature.
@Bankai Owning guns encourages people to do stupid things, really? I know a lot of people who aren't encouraged in the least to do stupid things by guns, fact guns don't encourage people to do anything stupid at all, it's a tool that sits there that you can pick and shoot something out of, people's own stupidity encourages them to do stupid things. Owning guns DOES NOT encourage people to do stupid things.
Both the higher the price the more appealing the game has to be. I also haven't really noticed any more retail wii u games I really want to get since launch.
I might get the game if it came over here, would need to read about it more and I would need to think about wether its too cutsey for me, I can't deal with too much of the stuff, the chracters need to look realistic enough for me. (think harvest moon a new beginning level of cuteness)
@Hokori You must have missed the article that reported it will have a topless vampire and eyeball gouging, really really ticked me off that they put that stuff in the game to make it M. They lost a potential sale with me for that.
@DragonHunters The problem is its too offensive to me to play. I really really do not want to see any women (vampire part makes no difference to me) topless.
I can't beleive this is M, more like shocked that its M, I thought it was gonna be T for sure, E3 really made it seem that way, I was really considering getting this game, but now I am seriously not getting this game. Seriously, topless even, are you kidding me! eyeball gouging, really. From what I saw at E3 there was no need to make this game M, its just unessecary, stupid and distastful. I am really ticked off about this, must everytihng have be sexually explicit.
While It's not a dealbreaker by anymeans, it's still quite painful and a problem I would really like to get fixed. I mean it makes checking notifications alot more painful than it should be.
@Jellitoe on 2. I don't think beating someone to death with a video game controller instead of a wrench means video games inspiered them. It would be like blaming TV because someone got beat to death with a TV remote or blaming books because someone got beat to death with a hardcover book.
I know yesterday that the only game it was confirmed that he was a fan of was dance dance revolution. Seriously Dynasty Warriors?! You drop people like flys but its not very violent. If someones says dynasty warrios is shockongly violent than I think that I'm not gonna beleive them if they say video games affect people towards violence.
@MeowGravy I agree completly I'me getting the Wii U version but not the 3ds version. I hope they release some sort of gamecube controller for this that is also compatable with compatable Wii games and VC games.
@Joshers744 I remember reading in teh manual it was from a game I think, but until you mentioned it I forgot it was even inspiered by a game. So they will kill me too lol.
@Samholy uh why would anyone think to do do a patent check on moving your character with a touchscreen? It's not exactly the kind of thing you would think about checking. I don't think SEGA should even be allowed to have this patent.
This definitly deserves a 9/10 at a minimum. I got it for my launch title and it's absolutly fantastic. There is something I would like to touch on though that the review didn't mention. The gamepad has been utilised in other ways than the review talked about. It also was used for the gadgets controlls (most of them anyway) so for the majoraty of that it is simply gyro controlls for aiming (like looking around in the nintendo land park) and while this works and and does a great job with the motion aspect it's still a lot better to just aim using the anolog stick so it feels very throw away. The two gadgets that differ from this are the remote controll batarang (RCB) and the explosive gel. the RCB is conrolled with motion with the gamepad facing downwards and it works like a plane's contoller stick. I found it eaiser and more effcient to use an analog stick again and this one is also better turned off. The explosive gel uses the gamepads touch screen to allow you to tap where you placed the gel when you have the gel gadget up or where it is placed on the map when you have your sonar map up. This addition isn't used too much but is still a good addition and is the only gadget controll added to utilise the gamepad that actually feels worthwhile and not throw away. They also added motion controll for gliding but is better turned off and you just use an analog stick. (note, all of these motion controlls don't turn off analog controll when used, and they all can be turned off, exept the gel controlls which can't harm you)
Why do they have a picture from a bond game from a different delveloper than eurocom. Bizzare Creations made Blood Stone, the game where the picture NlLife used if from.
@spoonshiro The fact that you don't nessicarily like something doesn't make it shovelware. if you want to want to see some real shovelware then go read the Christmas Wonderland 2 review .

Re: Need For Speed: Most Wanted Screeching On North American Wii U Consoles March 19th
Depends on pricing and what the Wii U version offers. If its $60 and the gamepad doesn't add much than I will get for PS3 because of cross play.
