@Ryu_Niiyama My group of friends has both males and females, and we're the video game / anime clique at my school. I don't feel misrepresented, cause idiocy isn't that dominant. They're just a small bunch of losers upset that they couldn't get a date, and want to feel strong, and in the majority. In reality, they're few of the average population, and dwindling. Rightfully so. They throw their tantrums, make their scenes, they just look stupid doing so. Stuff like this makes them come out of the woodwork, they pretentiously perceive it as them being wronged. Pitiful beings.
@HappyMaskedGuy Yeah. The mods will take care of him soon enough. Then he'll file a 1st amendment breach knowing them. You can say what you want, but not on someone else's site, and quite frankly, I can see why they wouldn't want such low lives around.
@BlatantlyHeroic Can't blame you. Feminism, human decency, family values, I don't care what you call it. These guys are getting butthurt over our objection to a guy hitting on a girl half his age who's too pretentious to stop it. Cause that's "just flirting." Yeah, they can keep telling themselves that. Good thing they're on the losing side of history. Maybe they'll try to start a controversy again, but nothing can help them look any less stupid, and classless for that matter.
@PhotonStorm Kudos to you for being professional. I don't know much about your games, what platforms they're on, or what they're like, but I'm already a thousand times more likely to buy yours than Ninja Pig's. It's pretty funny how he's acting all nice on here but is the exact opposite on Twitter. Clearly it's just for show. We can't have enough people like you in this world.
Well this is confirmation, they aren't building hype for nothing, are they trying to get back in the game if you know what I mean? The N64 was unique yet a bigger player, it sounds as though they want to achieve that level of success. I hope they do as well, cause if I get a Wii U it'll be later after I upgrade my PC and get a One. If their next console had a decent level of 3rd party support and Nintendo's 1st party IPs, that would be a must have. I shouldn't get my hopes up though. Good luck Iwata san, as well as the rest of the team.
It actually looks good, aside from the poor animations, but those affect the PS4 / Xbox One versions as well from what I've heard, and it definitely looks better than the 360 / PS3 versions.
Here's hoping they can let you link your NNID to your friend code soon. They add themes but still haven't gotten the basic friend & messaging capabilities to host a round of online multiplayer without other means of communication. Still, I love that new UI. Looks far more contemporary.
@Rezalack Would she be OP like in Fire Emblem? If only, she reminded me of Trevor Phillips from Grand Theft Auto too. The sociopathic tendencies and unpredictable behavior of both of them always gave me a good laugh.
@Reverandjames That's exactly why I feel burned by Capcom, but I'll be sure to get this anyways. The new 3DS was perfect, and if they announce it for that, I'll endure quite a delay for a port.
@vamkar Then you can make a Vita TV one. PS4, Xbox One, Wii U, even the Ouya can join in. Sad but true sales wise, though time will tell if it's the Ouya in that position instead.
The internet...while I'm still a bit skeptical of the radiation levels in Fukushima (Time had an article about the power plant and the stigma and fear about the area that remains), the backlash he received for innocently trying to help people make a living there is pathetic.
I would love for this to be on the 3DS. Skipping the Wii U is understandable, despite its ideal controller the sales would make it financially unviable. Regardless, give me some actual horror, I've been waiting for a good RE on my Xbox besides what I have on my 3DS.
Influenced by Animal Crossing, Harvest Moon, and The Sims? Looks more like ripping off Animal Crossing with slight influence by Harvest Moon and the financial tactics of modern The Sims titles.
@Kifa Exactly, though Wii U actually has 4 times the RAM of the Xbox 360 for games. 3DS has a bit less than half the RAM of the PS3 available to games, so I could imagine it running with 256 X 256 worlds. It also supposedly has a co-processor as well as the dual core CPU, not that that counts for much. No matter what though, one thing is certain and that's that only high-end tablets & the Vita can power a fully-fledged Minecraft experience on the go. I have hopes that a port can be done, and if it was decent and cheap I'd buy it.
@rjejr May or may not. It would be a difficult task if it can, but just saying it isn't completely out of question. The older versions of Pocket Edition anyways. Definitely not Pocket Edition .9 though. No way that could run on 3DS.
@Yorumi So much intelligence in that statement. I bet Philips is on its last legs and willing to do anything to survive at this point.
EDIT: So they are doing okay. Well, still doesn't change the fact that their patents came second and the tech is notably different. I find it ironic how big patent trolling has become. Suing for something vaguely similar for a quick buck and attempt at a monopoly. Pathetic.
@rjejr It probably could, the processors should be able to handle it, the RAM is what is difficult to work with. That and coding could take a while, though the 3DS does run on an ARM processor like most phones do. It could be interesting.
@Oragami If there is a close second on my opinion, MSNBC is the liberal equivalent of Fox. I just read Reuters or Time. Washington Post openly has some bias towards each side (more towards the left), which is interesting.
@AdanVC Damn impressive. Less powerful but still way more efficient. Never hurts my chances of buying one given the otherwise tempting Xbox One. One thing that isn't so beautiful about the One: energy consumption.
@Caryslan I know. CoD is overrated, but it's so annoying when you're hated just for not hating it. I guess there's always hipsters who deviate from the mainstream just to be counter-culture as opposed to having a reason. There's not liking CoD, which is perfectly fine, and then there's hating those that don't hate it. It's the latter that annoys me.
They could skip PS3 and rely on Playstation Now, but I assume at this point they've already crafted the engine for the game. Believe me, if it was just episode 1 & they asked for less on the Kickstarter goal I would've donated. Here's hoping it's resurrected as episode 1. Then I'd donate.
While tempting, you have to go at least $100 below PS4. At least considering that they don't even have universal accounts set up yet. Nintendo is really losing touch with gamers. At least MK8, X, and a few other games are good. Miiverse is also cool, but the fact they can't nail the basics is just sad. Nice that you get 2 games and an old Wii remote if you lacked it already though.
@fortius54 Yup. I had a bad experience a long time ago, but they're a lot better now in my area at least. For those unfamiliar, not everyone of them is run by a manager that bends over to corporate greed. There's a couple small game stores by me that specialize in used games, but if I'm going for a big new game, then I'll get it at GameStop. I hate cynics that clamor for extreme abrupt actions, like closing down all GameStop stores. Do you put much thought into it from all sides, like what of the employees or if all locations are evil? Heck, even Zynga closing would be bad, with all the inevitable job losses in this day and age of execs laying off their workforce for a cash bonus.
I found it funny, but it does remind of EA's laziness and excuse-making. They don't need to apologize for this; it just reminds of apologies that are overdue.
I wish it came to the 3DS, 60 FPS means little to me, and I wouldn't mind it rough around the edges, but I can get it on my PC. I do suppose there's Ironfall. Hopefully that turns out good. Shovel Knight'll keep me busy as well. That's for sure.
@marnelljm You have a good grasp on this. Better than fanoyish praise. The Wii U isn't bad, but slow dev time for games & a non-integrated network service are big flaws in Nintendo's strategy. Better to tell Nintendo how they can improve and what they need to continue doing right than saying everything is awesome.
This is why I'm actually interested in the new Tomb Raider. Lara Croft is an actual character, not some model. The gameplay is also good I've heard. I'll support an honest effort when I see one.
@Dark-Link73 It got delayed to impact as few gamers as possible. They are overwhelmed & needed staff from one of the dev teams, & the Wii U team impacted the least people. The Wii U version will be complete around winter.
@atomicjuicer Yep. However, an employee afterwards said they intended to have an update at the end of its lifetime to remove that before servers going off. Even better it got turned off day 1.
Good to hear, but I feel this was a attempt to garner fanboyism. Can you guys please be less biased. Let's face it, Nintendo is in a rut, what does it take for them to get out and have Gamecube-like success? I'd say unified network accounts on Wii U & 3DS (full implementation) & more games (3rd party support as well).
