Re: Nintendo UK: Awareness Is The Real Issue With The Wii U, Not Price

Am I the only one that wants to see a little less conversation a little more action from Shelly Pearce I've seen her in the news of a few Nintendo Websites yet I'm not seeing anything. Like the deal with tesco's the LARGE tesco near my house doesn't sell WiiU games let alone consoles and the "Super" tesco 5 miles away I was in earlier only had Wind Waker in amongst the Wii titles which surely only confuses mums more! There is no advertising and no shelf space in stores. I know its not selling well but if people can not actually buy a WiiU anywhere it doesn't matter how many mums know.

After spending some time with it I love it. The graphics are amazing way better than the sly cooper trilogy (also a cell shaded HD re-release) however having played the sly cooper trilogy recently I can't believe of similar the stealth game play is in both titles. I wonder if there is a story there.

Considering I picked up the special edition for £50.99 that WW download price does feel a little steep. I was also hoping for a link to the past in celebration of its release but I'll pick up the final fights at a later date.

Re: Soapbox: Why Grand Theft Auto V Isn't For Me

GTA's important role in gamings history has been to push the boundaries of game design and taste and it does both exceptionally well. This is both its strength and weakness and while its as well written as any top US TV show I buy GTA just to mess around in an open world environment.

Another thing it does really well is poke fun at pop culture and stereotypes in a very tongue and cheek way. I think this is the reason for the weak female characters. Its a double edged sword because one day we will be moaning that games are to dumbed down to appeal to the masses.

The "fun" part of GTA is using the tools the give you as a gamer creatively. I will finish the story but thats not where the golden moments will be for me.

I'm a family man in my thirty's and will happily be enjoying both GTA and Wind Waker over the coming months.
