Are you interested in getting the 3DS or already have one ? I know I am.

on 17 November 2013 | 17 comments

Hey, bud. Interested in the 2DS tbh. ALbW I'm hesitant to embrace because Aonuma always has to put in bull shit in Zelda games. But I'm definitely keeping my eyes open.

On a side I think the Sony fans are getting ahead of themselves atm. Launches are irrelevant. Everything post holidays is what I'm interested in.

on 17 November 2013

As long as Aonuma exists you'll most likely always get bullshit in zelda games. I seriously do not want those puzzles. I want zelda game to be some action RPG with alot of choices.

Sony fans are definitely getting ahead of themselves but as rol has said it's pretty much guaranteed to cannibalize the xbox market. I'm more interested to see how the PS4 will do in Janurary.

on 17 November 2013

Sure. But canabalizing a shrinking market isn't that important. Xbox only sells in USA and UK any way. This gen will be ugly.

on 17 November 2013

I'm pretty sure xbox also sells in europe too even though it's not as strong as playstation. Sure the market maybe shrinking but at the same time there's still likely over 150 million up for grabs for either of them.

on 17 November 2013

We will see. The franchise that saved the HD twins last gen the CoD. That game may go the way of guitar hero. Software sells hardware, don't forget.

on 17 November 2013

Don't worry about COD. Activision Blizzard is probably the most impressive company to be able to get a shit ton of money to buy themselves out LOL. They'll probably move on to Destiny or some other AAA title to get another cash cow or hey maybe EA will blow our minds with Battlefield 5. Third party's are no slouch when it comes to making massive games. That's why the X1 and PS4 will MOST definitely destroy the WII U.

on 17 November 2013

Third part smash hits are actually quite rare. I'm sure Activision is hoping for destiny to take over the cod mantle but we will see. EA I've less faith in lol. Wii U getting smashed is a safe bet for sure. But not because of third parties support or non support. Wii u is trash because Nintendo keeps making the wrong games and pursuing vanity projects. As Wii showed Nintendo is the only console maker capable of dominating an industry with the right first party software. I'm also of the belief that the Gamepad is a crappy idea and adds too much bs to the console. As malstrom says third party support is overrated.

on 17 November 2013

There rare but at the same time their are alot of big publishers out there. I'm pretty sure Destiny will sell atleast 7 million. Hey, EA has been able to get BF3 to sell 16 million which is pretty good in anyones book LOL. Your right about the WII U getting the wrong games and also right about the nintendo being the only ones able to dominate with 1st party games. The gamepad was an awful idea in the first just like the vita LOL.

Is third party support overrated ? They account for the majority of game sales so far.

on 17 November 2013

Lol. Agreed. Actually there aren't too many BIG third party pubs. A tp game only matters if it can sell hardware. Here's another thing to consider; the smash hits are never the hyped games. They always come from left field. So just because Act is pushing for destiny as ubisoft is with WD or the crew? I'm not sure it's safe to assume those will take off. Also EAs cash cow sports games are declining as well. Again we shall see. But as it stands this gen looks really weak to me.

on 17 November 2013

This generation will play pretty interestingly for the next decade. I wonder if nintendo is going to attempt a 10 year life span for the WII U ?

on 17 November 2013

Lol. Doubtful. I'm giving them 4.5 years tops riding this turd. Unless they are able to do something never done before. But at this point all they seem able to do is ride this out. Who trusts Nintendo any more? I was a huge Nintendo fan. But even I feel repulsed by them and their behavior. I give them Iwata, Miyamoto, Aonuma, and Sakamoto a huge middle finger.

on 17 November 2013

Woah there LOL, that hate is pretty malicious but then again I haven't been too impressed with nintendo either. You sound disgusted to the point where you would buy their competitors console just to rub the salt to nintendo LMAO.

on 17 November 2013

Lol. I didn't say I wanted them dead. Just the way Miyamoto keeps shoving 2d staples into 3d Mario's is a 'fuck u' to 2d Mario fans. Or the way 2d Mario is half assed in every way but 3d Mario gets the royal treatment. Aonuma continually shoving a feminine cell shaded pipsqueak link down our throats despite showing a bad ass Link in a teaser trailer is a giant f u to long time fans. Or Sakamoto turning Metroid into crappy anime is an f u to long time fans. I'm just giving them what they are giving me lol. I would buy a competitors console but as I've said Sony and M$ aren't my cup of tea. So I'm left causing trouble on forums ; p

on 17 November 2013

Your in for a tough ride here on this forum then LOL.

on 17 November 2013

No doubt! Haven't you seen already? I'm a loner here. No ones got my back and they are scared to agree with me because they know I've no allegiance. And I'm right Lol. So I get called a malstrom cheerleader or ignored altogether.

on 17 November 2013

Khan got your tongue ? LOL

I wonder if rol would back you up ? I'll agree with you a fair amount of time anyways.

on 17 November 2013

Lol. Among others. But yeah Rol, Noname and you are my trio. Lol

Knowing that your a nintendo fan would you think about considering the other HD triplets for your next main console or are you going to abandon console gaming altogether and head for PC ?

on 31 October 2013 | 2 comments

I'd probably abandon console gaming. I've no interest in Sony or M$ consoles tbh. I would probably get into PC gaming..But most likely? I'd stick to legacy systems like NES/SNES I'm not as much an avid gamer as I was in my teens.

on 31 October 2013

All 3 next consoles seem a little underwhelming for me right now seeing as all of them just don't have enough killer apps. I know that theirs call of duty and battlefield but their on last gen systems and plus I have a PC. Whatever console has the mass following like the wii or ps2 then I should probably follow on those. If the xbox one comes out on top then I'll be getting on that but I wonder if someone is going to get extremely mad at my decision. LMAO

I honestly don't know why nintendo doesn't concentrate on 2D platformers seeing as how they are pretty uncontested. DKCR is proof of this. Do you think there is anymore blue oceans left for nintendo to capture ?

I'd like you to post in my retro gamers thread. You posted in my TP Soar and SS Flop and I liked some of your points on Nintendo games of late. Here is the link, see if you like the thread and if you can add to the convo, I'd be curious to read your PoV.

Nintendo is completely out of touch with reality.

Didn't watch nor had any desire to watch VGX. It's awful. But the only thing I've heard about is Nintendo, DKC and Cranky. And I think the game looks fantastic. Its funny when the hardcore hate the things Nintendo does, I like the things Nintendo does....

I thought it was common knowledge that these outlets are bribed...
