Erm... lets see... you bought a shovelware game and you complain its shovelware. This same game you bought is old and has to go through an update like other consoles do. The situation described is something i went through on several PS3 games.

I mean seriously... try getting God of War ascencion on PS3. Nothing of what you described is never before seen.

Buy a proper game before you go on to judge. Its clear to me your opinion was made before you bought it. Get yourself some better games.

 

What you are doing is comparable to someone buying an Xbox 360 with kinect adventures and concluding the system is terrible based on that. Or Buying a PS3 with the move and some crappy move game and saying the console is crap.

The console isnt crap, the game is. Try to learn the difference. The system update you made is hardly something worth mentioning has you wont have to do it ever again.

So, Unless someone buys a console and tells you how much fun and how great the games are, they are at fault?  I described a pretty typical experience for someone buying a games console for someone other than themselves.  You seem(like many others in this thread) to have taken it personal that the experience that I have had so far is not the same as yours.  Did I expect there was going to be an update?  Yes, I stated that in the OP.  I was surprised at how long the download took and how it seemed to take an extremely long time to install once downloaded.  Your assumption that every game that someone buys is bought because of a metacritic score, is just a joke.  My kids wanted the game, so I let them get it.  Tough to leave the store with a new system and not pick up a game that they wanted.  I knew it was probably going to be shovelware.  Does that change the fact that it dissapointed me?  No  

I am not sure where in any of my posts that I stated that the WiiU is garbage or crap.  What I stated was that if the average consumer has a similar experience to mine, they will not likely recommend the console and not support it with multiple game purchases.  I have only had it for 4 days, so the odds are pretty good that I will continue to purchase many games over the next few years.  Based on the experience so far, I will probably try to rent or borrow games to try them out before buying though.  Funny thing is, my kids think that the Olypics game is great and that the Mario Brothers game is kind of boring.
