Re: Critically-Panned 'Borderlands' Movie Flops At The Box Office

@MarioBrickLayer Yeah it wasn't bad (as bad as everyone makes it out to be) but it wasn't great. Solid 6/10 territory. There was weird divergence from the games. I get that it's an adaptation not directly set in the game universe but I couldn't figure out who this was for. Deviating from the game lore so much made me (an unabashed game fanboi) not that invested but it's so cheesy and kind of bland that it doesn't seem it would be that interesting to folks not familiar with the games.

It feels like a 20 million dollar Netflix movie not a big budget cinema event. While I was entertained I'd be hard pressed to say if you got to see one movie for august you should go see this over Twisters (or Deadpool if you don't have kids in tow)

Re: Disney Infinity Sales Struggling To Maintain Momentum

@Edward_J_Grug_III @KingElvis

yes, DI 1 was a great sell for me. A lot of variety in the worlds and play styles across them. 2.0 was pew pew pew. 3.0 looks like more of the pew pew pew. even my marvel loving 6 year old prefers to go back and play the cars and monsters playsets vs. the 2.0 playsets.

Disney has so many classic properties and other than trickling out a few standalone figures, there's been nothing. Where's the lion king playset, or the Aladdin playset. Anything but pew pew pew 3.0.

Lego Dimensions really is looking to come out with a bang.

Re: Hyperkin Is Working On The Ultimate Wii U Pro Controller

@DThrow_UAir Yep, GC controller was THE most comfortable gaming device I've ever used. I don't even play smash, the pad works great for just about everything. I've got a couple of Hori Battle pads that I use with anything that supports the classic controller but something that was a drop in replacement for the pro. I'm very interested.

Re: Review: Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures 2 (Wii U)

So this doesn't actually have multiplayer and it's not just me being completely in capable of being able to figure out how to do it. The back of the box says 4 and the first one had multiplayer modes so I just assumed. But actually is misprint and poor design. All in all these are relatively fun games but I sure wish the back of the box didn't indicate there was multiplayer if there isn't.

Re: Night Trap ReVamped Developer May Flip-Flop on its Wii U Decision

macdude22

I have been a huge fan of all these retro revivals on Kickstarter. Just, you know, of good games, styles, and genre's. Shovel Knight, Wasteland 2, hell even leisure suit larry. But nobody NOBODY is asking for a remake of Night Trap. While certainly of historical importance for a number of reasons, there is very little to entice a gamer of 2014 to want to play this unless they have a penchant for torture.

@Hy8ogen Everyone was swooning over the Wii U version and all things being equal I like to get things on the Wii U if I can to support the big N. But now I have the buyers remorse and should have just grabbed it on PS3 or Steam.

Re: Review: Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed (Wii U)

@akabenjy I don't have a Wii U but I have a Wii and Mario Kart on the Wii. I picked this up for PC, absolutely amazing Kart Racer. Hands down better than how Nintendo has been phoning it in past couple of games.

Also I'm pro Sega making a top tier Kart racer for PC.
