I really don't even care about this game. Making a new game every year has made the AC series get stale. Sadly, this seems to be the norm for big budget cross-platform games these days. The reason I'm drawn to the Wii U and Xbox One is because they both have enough great console exclusives that I can resist this crap.
The more, the better. I hope everyone and their mother makes a Minecraft clone for the eShop. It just gives me more to choose from. My plan is to wait until all of them come out, then choose the best one for both systems.
I thought it was so they could accurately measure what countries buy their games, and not make it so everyone imports from where the games are cheaper. This explanation is just dumb.
Why would I go to a store to get what I could just get at home? Do they really think that people don't have the mental capacity to open the eShop? I thought they were moving away from casuals!
@MondeoMan84 The Xbox One and PS4 versions are confirmed to have bigger Toyboxes. That's enough for me.
@MadAdam81 Are you saying that the major drop in resolution won't be noticed by anyone? I'm one of those people that cared about and noticed screen resolution before Sony made it into this stupid gimmick, and I can't be the only one. Also the guy in the video says that the Wii U gamepad won't have special functions like before, so that's thrown out the window too.
Again, I see a missed opportunity in not just adding to Flappy Bird. I'd love if I could hold the button to continuously flap. I'd love if there were customizable themes. I'd love if there were extra modes. Sadly, none of that is present. I'd imagine this won't sell well, and maybe that will send the right message. I know RCMADIAX is capable of some good games, and I'd love to see more of them. This just isn't a good game.
I find it hilarious how people overreact to this video. Yes, believe it or not, people don't know about things that were popular before they were born.
@grumblegrumble
I'd give you a 1/10 considering you're mysteriously absent from the group of people that realize that every vast minority cannot be recognized in every form of media.
If only there was a re-imagining of Metroid with Samus being male. A big robotic suit that doesn't have hyper-exaggerated muscles is always a missed opportunity. Also the chest looks like the head of an animal. Kind-of reminds me of Power Rangers in that department (with the skill of a metroid, Jungle Fury Metroid Ranger!).
@SageWaterDragon Rich people and big corporations normally have a set amount to donate to charity (all for publicity of course). If they think they can get on the news for donating to ALS, they will, and all the other charities suffer.
The ice bucket challenge is a very bad thing when you think about it. It causes everyone to donate all their money ALS and makes other charities starve as a result.
The NES and SNES are so old that I could use an emulator or flash cart and not lose sleep over it. Nintendo doesn't seem to care about people pirating these old games, so why should I?
Why just the i Pad? Are the developers of this app still under the impression that there is only one tablet in the world? It's okay though. Windows tablets have had it for a long time.
@JaxonH
No, no, no. No excuses. My Nexus tablet lasted me at least one day no matter what I did with it more than a year after I bought it. My i Pad had to be charged multiple times within the same day from day one when I was actively trying to conserve power. That's inexcusable, especially considering its numerous other problems (elevated price, lack of power, lack of compatibility, terrible interface, etc.).
@Shadowflash It was a joke, but I do have a very passionate hatred for people that I think are stupid. I do indeed think that anyone who plays all those crappy Farmville clones qualifies as stupid.
@Hyperstar96
Well then. You didn't really say anything to defend that pathetic pile of garbage. All you did was demonstrate that you have the magical ability to be snarky. Congratulations. Have a cookie. (Also coincidentally my school was recently giving away all their dictionaries, so I do have a big expensive one.)
I doubt anyone using a tablet to play video games has the mental capacity to play something that isn't just something that plays itself and asks for money.
If they make the controls less stupid (as in being able to hold down the button to continuously go higher), and add some interesting game modes, this could be good.
This will only appeal to really young kids. Kids so young that they wouldn't even be able to figure out a Wii U or 3DS. This isn't going to be any serious competition for Nintendo. The only problem is that I can totally picture a stupid Soccer-Mom buy this for somebody outside the range of 2-3 years old (the type that would enjoy this).
