Monopoly and chess are a games too, but playing only those doesn't make you a gamer. In fact both of those are significantly harder to beat/master than any shooter.

1) It only runs netflix. 2) No mention of browser. 3) ZombiU is more like a mod and not worth $10. 4) screen is unresponsive due. 5) no hdd support. 6) sd card slot does nothing. ... 7) etc etc.

This was the worst review of anything ever. They clearly just wanted to mock and laugh at Nintendo/WiiU. I doubt they spent more than a few mins even using the system and clearly have no clue about any part of it. To review something you have to actually use it for a signifant amount of time and really get to know its ins and outs. Clearly these pair of cow dung only opened the box, put it together, updated, and played like 10 mins of a couple games.

Apples and oranges. There isn't only one shooter out there, like there is only one monopoly and chess.

1) what else does it run at the moment?

2) Why should they mention the browser? Every other console has a browser, it should be clear that wii u has one.

3) Opinion, not a fact.

4) That is a fact, when you compare it to a capasitive screen.

5) This one was wrong, those usb:s do support hdd:s. You just have to buy a new one.

6) He said that he did not know what the sd card does, not that it does not do anything

7) You did show one thing which was not a fact, no grounds for "etc etc"

 

You don't know that and frankly, you sound like you are angry.

1) netflix, huluplus, youtube, amazon prime

2) browser on wiiu destroys anything on another console in features, usability, and speed. Its actually very compariable with a really good smartphone/tablet or pc. It should be mentioned as it almost gives you a true pc browser experience on TV plus the amazing part of the gamepad where you can say start watching some video on TV and then continue browsing on gamepad or simply only use the gamepad (like a tablet) while watching something on TV like football or anythign else.

3) no it was not just an opinion. it was more of a defamation of character. Clearly they didn't play the game or only the opening scene/tutorial. Hell all the screens/vids on it were just the very beginning.

4) It is not fact and you obviously have not used it. Its just as responsive as any phone or tablet. I have had ZERO sensitivty issues with any game use. I do use stylus when on netflix or browser... more for preciseness than anything else, but scrolling is better with the stylus as well in those applications. I have yet to have to press really hard on the screen for any action to be rendered. That is simply not the case as they present it as fact.

The two technologies are different with different strengths and weaknesses. One is great for fingers and multitouch, the other is great for stylus and preciseness. The visual clarity is absolutly brilliant and in gaming applications there is no loss in sensitivity or finger use. For drawing and browser, grab the pen.

5) It comes with storage and if you want more or need more you can buy what you want. Same thing in current consoles and very likely the rest of nextgen. I only ever used about 20GB on my PS3's 250GB HDD. I used less than 1GB on my Wii. Facts are Nintendo's solution is best and most economical for everyone. You get what you actually need. If I need more than the 32GB built into the machine, no big deal. $30 and I have 500GB that I'll likely never fully need. I'd rather not have the proprietary and overpriced crap forced on me.

6) clearly showing he shouldn't be reviewing the device as in a review that comes accross as it does nothing as he couldn't find a purpose for it.

7) You are ignoring everything and simply being blinded by your own negative approach to WiiU. This "review" clearly had an agenda and that agenda was not to review a product. It was to destroy a product with lies and defamation of all product capability.

I don't think you should even waste any time on him. He's got his own deluded agenda. He's not even trying to be subtle about it.

You're wasting your time, and he's not worth any of it.

They were spreading their distaste as though it were fact. This frustrates me.

Though their points; whilst over-exaggurated, are accurate. Would be nice to actually talk about the good stuff, you know?



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

I think we all can agree with that. Anyone who has actually spent more then 10 minutes with the system knows that it is money well worth invested and that the review given is completely moot.

 Also, I really would not be suprised if he was actually one of the reviewers (It's a conspiracy,lmao!)

1) My friend does not have hulu or amazon, just netflix and youtube. You call youtube streaming? :D

2) Browser is a browser, no matter how you slice it.

3) Still opinion.

4) From what I have tried, wii u pad is not as responsive as my tablet. I trust in what I see, not what you say.

5) That is an opinion, not a fact. I prefer built in hdd. I used 200gb+ on my 360 hdd.

6) That was not your original point, I think I see the goal posts quite far.

7) No, I see it objectively. You see it as someone would have insulted your mother.

False. I have fiddled with Wii U for at least 15 minutes and I disagree with you.

Really, these guys are nothing but jokes.

Bad ones at that.


Instead of resorting to ad hominem, why don't you refute their points?


If you read the thread, you can find a lot that don't need repeating. These guys just trashed the console. They didn't give an honest unbiased view on it. What more, it was filled with misinformation. I don't feel the need to kick those guys, since they're already lying down. 

Now, why don't YOU take your own advice and contribute constructively to this thread?

What? I have no problems with their review. It is just their opinion and I did not notice any misinformation. Of course I could have missed some bit, but most of it was opinions and facts.

Why do you want me to "contribute constructively" when you and most of the posters on this thread just do personal insults or something as constructive as that.  Also, I did read the thread and there was nothing said. 90's atms were resistive touchscreens, just like the wii u pads screen is. If that is what you meant by "a lot".

 

Ohh, watched it again and I noticed that they said that the usb ports were not for hdd:s. Which is kind of false information, since you can use those for hdd:s. You just have to buy a new one, because you can't use the same hdd on other devices.

So there is one point which is half wrong and no-one even refuted that one. How constructive!

I did refute it............ http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=4966625 taking the time to read the whole thread doesn't hurt ya know? Oh and they didn't even know what the SD port does O_O;

True, I missed that one. It is just that I tend to skip posts with that kind of writing style.

dood, you need to stop being bitter about not making a profit on ebay, at least you canceled in time to not take losses. My writing style is very awesome, unfortunately not everybody is smart enough to reach my level.
