Re: Are We Nearing the End of Consoles? Nintendo Thinks Not

@NintyFan
Thank you. Remember when CNN reviewed the 3DS? Well, that was much worse then any comments I've seen come from Fox, and yet people didn't seem to care as much because Fox didn't say it...I wonder why?(sarcasm)
Anyway, remember folks, every news station is biased in some way, but the least biased of them all (In most cases) is your local news media, so stick with that.

I don't think they'll completely die off, in a year or two, but I think there will be a large leap towards digital over physical media in that time. He does have a good point though. I know a lot of average non-gamers who say they'd rather play games on a smartphone instead of a console.

Re: Ubisoft Goes Out on a Limb to Bring Rayman Origins to Wii

@moosa
I own a lot of 2D hand drawn Wii games, (pretty much all the ones bro2dragon mentioned) but I played one one the 360 (having a brain-fart trying to remember which) and the colors really pop and everything runs so smoothly comparatively speaking. It really isn't a big difference, but I personally prefer these types of games on the HD consoles, because I think 2D animation is one of the few things that look better in HD. (Which is why I'm still waiting for Spirited Away to come to blu-ray)

Re: Nintendo Download: 9th May 2011 (North America)

I don't think there has actually been any videos of Mighty Milky Way in action. It makes me a little fearful of what it will actually end up playing like. I am also having some doubts towards MDK2 and if it will just turn up being a shell of its former self. A little too early to be praising this week in my book.

Re: THQ Cancels Saints Row: Drive-By for 3DS

TheBaconator

I love Saints Row 2. I think it is the best sandbox game out there with humorous gameplay, great customization, loads of weapons, and a bunch of Easter Eggs hidden in makes it one of my favorite games this generation. However, I believe that this game would have ended up not playing anything like Saints Row 2, but we'll never know now...Oh well, Saints Row 3 comes out in a few months.

Re: Review: Conduit 2 (Wii)

TheBaconator

I own a PS3 and 360 with all the main shooters on them and I still mildly enjoy this game, and I'm not the biggest shooter fan in the world either. I do think I ran into a locked forever door glitch in campaign though, which was getting me angry for awhile.

Re: Talking Point: What You Want in a New Nintendo Home Console

TheBaconator

I want:
-1080p HD graphics
-A strong Hard drive
-$350 as its maximum launch cost
-A free online system that competes with that on the 360
-Achievement system
-Normal controller
-Usernames, no friend codes
-Streaming Media such as movies, music, and more
-Shop channel with Game Demos, Gamecube and Dreamcast games, Games on Demand, DLC
-Ability to play regular Wii games in HD
-Support from more 3rd parties that normally don't support Nintendo such as Rockstar, Epic, and Bethesda
-Repurchase Rare (Now I'm getting a little off the scale)
-A new Star Fox and Pikmin 3 at launch

Re: Sony CEO Refers to Nintendo Handhelds as "Babysitting Tools"

TheBaconator

@125
I don't recall Sony being very shooty/fighty. Last time I checked Shadows of the Colossus, Sly Copper, Ratchet and Clank, Motorstorm, Ico, Wipeout, LittleBigPlanet, Locoroco, and Ape Escape were all First Party Sony games that don't fall under what you describe Sony games as. They make a much larger category of games then you may think. And your Avatar is Mickey from Kingdom Hearts. I believe those are PS2 games.

Re: Features: Nintendo 3DS Launch Game Buyer's Guide

TheBaconator

I'd say the only "must buys" in my opinion are SSFIV and...That is all. It is the only launch title I have played for a reasonable amount of time out of the 3 I own. In fact, I played Pokemon White for a longer time in one sitting than for the total time I played my other 2 games. ( I do like Steel Diver, though. I'd rather play Pilotwings 64 than Resort.)

Re: Review: Samurai Warriors: Chronicles (3DS)

TheBaconator

Wait a minute. All the people critizing the review because the reviewer didn't play the game "correctly", please define to me how he was not playing the game "correctly". Obviously, if there is a "correct" way to play the game, the game sure doesn't tell you. For me never playing one of these games, I'd want the game to tell me the "correct" way to play, unlike you guys who have played the past games or apperantley read giant manuals on the "correct" way to play.
What I am really getting to is, if the reviewer can't understand the "correct", as you say, way to play the game, then what are the chances of a common person like me playing the game without also thinking it is a mindless hack and slash game?...Well...That's what I think...I think.
