Whether you like it or not, it was a mini game and i suppose its difficulty improve during the game. It was always better than clicking on a single button. Now the "improve relationships" feature is rendered completely useless, they should have better made it autoleveling with the xp points. Too bad censorship is only widening the cultural gap, yet another forthcoming meme we will not share
playing from France and never experienced any kind of lag situation. keep the settings as they are, i'm happy to find opponents at any time of the night
it's really not the first time a game has no release date. One thing is sure, the next zelda will be availalble on WiiU, if not early 2016 then it will be late 2015
age rating system are useless and nintendo should not force developpers to buy them age rating system will never educate parents, i bet there are more people playing gta of cod under the age limit than above about the costs, it's a shame that there is no adult category available for free : the developpers could at least have the choice to target adult gamers (or to boycott the system) without needing to pay some "expert" to rate their game
one of the biggest super smash bros event, the article report a guy named Leffen ended in third place but no word about the guys at first and second places ...strange ...
@PlywoodStick i was just saying that 5k rpm is still a today standard of course all the disks are improving and getting quieter but relatively speaking you will alway need more power for 10k than 5k rotation, if you swap your netbook 5k rpm disk for a 10k, your battery will discharge much quicker there is SOC limitation too that you'll find in plenty of devices like NAS, it represent a bottleneck rendering useless high rotation disks (anyway 5k is enough for streaming a fullhd movie) Today every manufacturer continue to build, improve and sell 5k disks
for my non-stop usage, even if i had the knowledge and the money to guess/choose a good ssd disk from 2015(studies from 2010 disks are not that positive, now we'll have to wait some years for today real-life ssd results) that may surpass a physical disk lifespan, then i would choose a ramdisk drive that would really last a whole human life
i really dont understand why someone would want 2x the same limited edition for his household ?
if it's only for children, then it's a waste of money, i think they dont care more about cosmetic than gameplay and buying two different editions( eg zmm+mh4) sound wiser in order to avoid wars
@Alex Olney you probably meant "are you 'Futée'" then it's the verb "être" (je suis, tu es, il est, ...) so the interrogative form is : "es-tu futée ?" (futé is the adjective form for boys, futée is the form for girls), "et", as you wrote, is the translation for "and"
i would be the stupidest move from nintendo moreover, using an operating system available on all phones would be the same as wanting nintendo to release microsoft windows games
That wouldnt be especially a bad new (ok, i dont like very much shin megami and i really hate persona universe) but, seriously, the two world dont match together. Perhaps it should be recieved as a good news about potential distinct better games
@SanderEvers i doubt 4k is enough to record player's infos, fight style, habits, behavior, ... at least not in a significative level, so i bet there is more than 4k memory in an amiibo
@minotaurgamer : not "all", please i have nothing against the amount of internal disc space choosen by nintendo : i consider this space is for saving games of storing small apps i have nothing against casual gamers too, all those who dl games already have an external hd i only have a problem with the excuse of "fitting the 8gb model", an info that have already been modified according to the twitter post mentioned upper by @jariw , now "other challenges" has been added. it seems it was only an quick excuse that still need to be clarified
moreover if fitting into the stock basic model is so important, nintendo would have made it mandatory into the eshop rules. Remember tekken tag tournament 2, one of the first eshop game, didnt fit at all the 8gb model
wiiu users > 8gb model users > who didnt bought an HD > who never bought an eshop title > who will buy this game probably the number corresponding to this subset of wiiu users is near to zero
that's pure waste of time (and surely waste of quality) to make it fit 8gb because it's completely improbable that basic model users dont already have other softwares taking space into their consoles.
anyway it wont fit ...
i dont get why it's so difficult to get releases for different regions, except maybe for little independant devs with low budget and low visibility but here, the title is already existing, there's only the translation work and the approval/validation costs for the various peggi, both costs should be easily covered even with poor sales in the new regions where/what is really the obstacle to internationalisation ?
@LDXD i wasnt refering directly to the quality of the games ( there will always exist very good games on every platforms) but i was referring to the good games ratio. wikipedia reports : 1222 wii games, 793 ps3 games, 958 xbox360 games now if you substract all the shovelware and all the multiplateform games( which are technically inferior to the other versions ), unfortunately the ratio of good game per wii is lower. i fear even if the wiiu become the top-seller, the good games ratio wont be the best :/
i think the wiiu will win in terms of units sold, like the wii did. but like the wii too, the wiiu may not win in terms of quality games ratio per units :/
nothing should be done from nintendo or from joysound if parents want to prevent their kids to be deadly shocked, they should keep them locked in an empty room : that's the only way to avoid them watching tv, listening to radio, using computers&consoles or hearing people singing in the street. any form of culture(news, museums, debates,....) should be avoided too
most wanted u was looking nice but was really boring, i regret to have put money in this old game port (in this area, ducktales is much better in every aspects)
i cant see why ea would want ports from old games to sell well, and they dare to use these number to justify their lazyness and their incompetency
this is not dubstep at all it would be like naming "vocoder" 90% of the current cheap music because it use some vocoder effect over voces at some point of the song
i dont understand his point of view, why would he want to be involved in earlier stage of console creation ?
i dont think his opinion had an impact on the sony or m$ console development
even more if their games are really generic and pc-targeted, so they are only ported to consoles and dont use them on a state-of-the-art level
does it mean that bethesda is involved in early windows, amd&nvidia gpu dev stages ?
i'll never buy a game that's available physically through eshop :
price is not attractive
the product is not linked to my account (i my wiiu get stolen or broken i'll lose my game)
once i'll be finished with the game i wont be able to offer/lend it to someone else still the same remarks as the first day of the wiiu :/
ps: the size comparison mean nothing to me : compressing methods have surely evolved, more and more 3d things are handled by the gpu, 3d is like vector 2d which mean it can be rendered at any resolution especially for a cellshading game relying more on post-effects than polygons dots
ubisoft is only looking for money, creators dont think in sale quantities eg: shenmue sales were bad but it's still a major piece of gaming history and i'm sure their creators are proud of it with ubisoft behavior on rayman, the only thing that is sure is that is will sell even worst than if it was released when it was originally planned
i dont get why people are asking for more storage here, the white wiiu is at 230€ and the first black is at 320€ what's the problem about getting a white wiiu for 230€ and adding a 1Tb 2.5" usb hd (which will cost less than 90€) ?
the original animation is so great ! full of adventures and mystery there's so much potential for a video game but the new version of the anime has very few in common with the original one :/ especially the gfx look so bad (Esteban face is barely recognizable (( ) I only hope the team of the new anime wont be involved in the game
@Damo currently the comparison is not valid : the games are not the same, the prices are not the same you may think that tomorow all dev will go where the money is but i dont : i cant imagine fire emblem, animal crossing or zombiu on phones, the experience cant be the same the devs wont go to phone because it's not the same money, it's another, diffenrent source of money
the comparison is pointless because
1) on apple-store nearly everything is paying
2) most of the sales are 1-5€ "games"
3) the 1-2€ games are not really games compared to consoles games

Re: Poll: As the PS4 Arrives, What Do You Think of the 'New Gen' Environment for Wii U?
@LDXD
i wasnt refering directly to the quality of the games ( there will always exist very good games on every platforms) but i was referring to the good games ratio. wikipedia reports :
1222 wii games, 793 ps3 games, 958 xbox360 games
now if you substract all the shovelware and all the multiplateform games( which are technically inferior to the other versions ), unfortunately the ratio of good game per wii is lower.
i fear even if the wiiu become the top-seller, the good games ratio wont be the best :/
Re: Poll: As the PS4 Arrives, What Do You Think of the 'New Gen' Environment for Wii U?
