Re: Here's Exactly What Has Changed With Fire Emblem Fates' "Skinship" Petting Mode

adrenochrome

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

Re: Exclusive: eShop Publishers Are Dropping Releases In Germany Due To Low Sales And Cost Of USK Rating

adrenochrome

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

Re: Xenoblade Chronicles X is so Sizeable That It Almost Needed More Than One Disc

adrenochrome

@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

Re: Review: Brutus & Futée (3DS eShop)

adrenochrome

@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"

Re: Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty Wii U Delay Seems to be Due to 8GB Basic Model

adrenochrome

@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

Re: Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty Wii U Delay Seems to be Due to 8GB Basic Model

adrenochrome

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

Re: Koei Tecmo Europe All But Confirms Fatal Frame Wii U As Japan-Only

adrenochrome

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 ?

Re: Poll: As the PS4 Arrives, What Do You Think of the 'New Gen' Environment for Wii U?

adrenochrome

@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: Nintendo Issues Full Statement Regarding Uncensored Lyrics In Wii Karaoke U

adrenochrome

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

Re: Bethesda: The Time For Convincing Publishers And Developers To Support Wii U Is "Long Past"

adrenochrome

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 ?

Re: The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD Download Sails Away With 2.6GB of Memory

adrenochrome

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

Re: Ubisoft Delayed Rayman Legends On Wii U In Fear Of Low Sales

adrenochrome

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
