I was very skeptical of this game after it was first announced, even still after jimmy fallon and Reggie showed it. It wasnt til the most recent trailer posted a month or so ago and these pics, have I decided to buy it. However not a day 1 purchase. It looks pretty good.
Also I dont know what the reviewer is talking about lack of saving ability. You pray at the church or the dragon statues to save. Its no different then the rest of the series....
I still have my snes copy. This series is great if you stop at the end of bof4. The 5th was horrible. This game isnt as hard as this review paints it. Its just not for people that arent hardcore rpg lovers. People that only play rpgs from time to time will get worked. Dont start with bof2. Start with the original first. The series has a great story. Dont play the 5th. Pretend it ceased there.
For being video game fans, im surprised how good the editors arent at games. oh well at least they're having fun, since that's what counts. Good effort rory.
Im 30 and married, if I had kids or not id still want gta5. I am a proud gun owner and have a ccw and my wife carries as well. However we are not violent people, we're good, nice people. I love my Nintendo games and Sony systems. I appreciate a wide range of games. It was a bummer to know it wasn't coming to Nintendo. Ill have to pick it up on PlayStation like I have all the rest. I personally think this "im married and have kids" argument is weak. Its just based off personal tastes. I do agree parents shouldn't be letting their young children be playing fps and and super violent games like gta.
@XCWarrior I only buy physical too. The only thing ive ever bought digitally was earthbound for wii u. Its staying that way. I enjoy physical when its requiring my money.
The more I see it, the more id like to have one. Price point was the biggest reason I never bought a 3ds xl and I sure didnt want the smaller screen 3DS. If this comes out in an xl model and stays around the same price I would probably get one.
@Maxobiwan I personally love the wii u and am fine with the 350 that was spent. I do think the ps4 is a great deal this generation with all it could do. However I owned a ps3 (sold it for a ps4) and didnt play ac3 or any of the ports weve gotten on PlayStation so i was fine with the ports we got. I liked ac3 on wii u, nfs mw u was great, loved blops 2, splinter cell is great, ive preordered watch dogs and black flag for wii u and im sure I'll love that too. Going to get cod ghosts as well. Im indifferent to the storage space of 32mb. Its enough for me because I dont really download much. I want physical copies. The only thing I downloaded was earthbound. I might get ducktales. Waiting to see if a physical copy gets released. I dont think there is lots I will download where its an issue. However im more than fine with buying a hd. I planned to get one just incase. I think if the option for an external hard drive wasn't there, yeah it would be a big issue for the mass.
@Kaine_Morrison I was thinking this too. I dont have a 3ds though and is 50 bucks cheaper, I might get it. I couldn't care less about the 3D thing. It'd be nice if the screens we're the xl size, but for the price, id rock it.
@Maxobiwan you obviously didnt read someomes post in that topic of splinter cell, explaining why. It wasnt optimised for wii u. You're still wrong. Thats why Nintendo can get 60fps. If others optimised we wouldnt be having this chat between us.
@jayclayx I acually prefer playing blops 2 on wii u. I will feel the same with splinter cell and cod ghosts. I didnt mind some games online with wii either. I think people make a bigger deal out of it than it really is.
@Maxobiwan so? Those are old consoles. The wii u is new. I dont agree or disagree that it needs a cut im Switzerland if you will. I think you need a better argument, personally.
@Anclation I agree. 2ds seems silly. Not sure if the system needed a price cut. However im sure some people will be mad unless launch window adopters get an ambassador program
@Undead_terror id take you up on that if I hadn't sold my ps3 recently to start saving for a ps4. Ive been playing on wii u. Even though I wont get the ps4 til after they've been around 10 months, never to early to start saving and for the back log of games ill have to get!
@Yorumi please post more. I hate being surrounded by the majority of people that think they know when they dont. Its so much better to just be quiet when you dont know stuff. When these debates happen it has to drive you nuts. I know it would me if I knew what you knew. I miss the more simplistic days of gaming when these topics get too far out of hand.

Re: Say Hello To The Nintendo 2DS - A 3DS without 3D
It seems silly. However kids might like it and see it as their own tablet type gaming device. It could sell well. Hard to say
