Q.) "It's cheap, off-the-shelf technology, and gamers are required to spend large amounts of money on these toys to get everything out of their game disc."
A.) Agreed. i haven't bought either Skylanders games, and i don't plan on buying Infinity, because i don't plan on spending $40 dollars just to slightly enhance my experience of a game that i paid $70 dollars on.
Q.) "Capcom got taken to the cleaners for relatively modest on-disc DLC. Are toys all it takes to make it all OK?"
A.) whether i will or won't put up with this, other people will. but, i think that people will eventually get tired of paying large sums of money for dolls to enhance their gaming experiences. they'll eventually realize, "am i really willing to pay this much for a video game?" and that's why i refuse to buy those games. i'm not willing to pay that much money on a virtual experience.
well, thanks. because of this article, i'm expecting a review for the upcoming Hyrule Historia (anxiously awaiting my copy). as for the topic at hand, i guess i'll be picking this up some time in February.
i wasn't trying to be offensive myself (just heavy sarcasm), but i fear that might have, so i apologize. i played the demo earlier today, i think there is a such option, and i'm pretty sure most games are accompanied by those options anyway. i'm not sure if it's different outside the states, but whatever.
if ninty wants sales, they should either make better advertisements. anyone else notice that their commercials began to suck? remember when their commercials were better? remember those two guys playing wii at peoples' houses? (here's that commercial) [youtube:0p7uJp25BlE] i want more commercials like this! i remember seeing this when it was new and immediately wanting a wii.
some of the acting was bad, some effects didn't look real (ex. when machines were chasing sonic, it looked more like they were gliding along the grass rather than RIDING, guns had no recoil, a single missile made a HUGE explosion on the ship, fire looked lame), CG Sonic looked like rubbish, was incredibly slow, and had a crappy voice actor
played the ZombiU demo, and i almost turned the system off! don't get me wrong, it's a good game, but survival-horror games are too intense for me. i don't understand why so many critics hate it D:
@bulby1994
yeah, but it's nice seeing how far certain people will go for stuff like this. besides, can't he use it to play emulators for other kinds of games? NES? gameboy games ? if he needs more buttons, can't he gut something with more buttons and use that instead of a gameboy?
@Ideal_Hero #42 very true. i've been thinking about all these new possibilities that i can do, that being something i've already thought of. i'll get around to them eventually...
i bought mariokart 64 yesterday on the wii VC via WiiU, and i can't use the gamepad to play it! i need a classic controller D: if i buy something on the wii VC, can i use the WiiU transfer to transfer it to my wiiU?
let it die. you just can't try and bring the dead back to life. george lucas is a good example of someone who wouldn't let certain things die. let it die before you make us all suffer.
my great-great-great grandson had a similar reaction to that. the shock, the happiness, the disbelief, the realization, etc. 'cept he didn't act like that, just a big fat smile.
@Hyperstar96 you are a bro from this point on. @Dogpigfish 1.) sell 6999 of the total for profits. 2.)play wii U! @theblackdragon you might be his next target. just act like you don't know anything.
basic editions? they're practically useless compared to the deluxe edition! this article should be edited with the deluxe editions! or maybe they got both basic and deluxe? either way, this feels like such a tragedy! i hope the criminals are caught! i can only imagine how nintendo feels! they'll probably say something about it later this week.
demos need a play limit. you shouldn't have to play a demo 300 times to decide whether or not you want the game. also, with some games, the demo is pretty much what the rest of the game will be, so getting a demo is like buying the game for free. putting a play limit is alright with me.
most people would rather play zombies on black ops two, and that's fine with me because call-of-duty sucks. zombiU tried for a realistic apocalypse survival experience, so whether it's good or not, it has my credit because i can't name any other apocalyptic survival game.
