Around the Network

Wii U, people. Mario 3D World, Smash 4, Mario Kart 8, and Bayonetta 2 are all superlative according to critics (and myself, but i'm admittedly quite biased).



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

Considering the lack of actual substantive gameplay concepts that accompany this complaint, I'm going to say they just want to be able to keep complaining.



For my tastes last gen early on was worse. I fully expect this generation to be a great one with solid start and strong future.

That's what I'm thinking and that's sad man :/

I just don't understand why..

Great article, my PS4 is collecting dust.


Sad, but true. The Wii U has been my holdout but I've worn out Kart & Smash for a while (maybe another playthrough of Bayonetta 2?). I have several games for the PS4 but I haven't been able to get into any of them deeply. 

I was let down hard by "Destiny" and the new "Dragon Age" is solid, but feels stale to me at the moment. Transistor is also top-notch - but a little short. 

"Bloodborne" can't come soon enough (10 Days!). Then I'll have "Xenoblade 3D" to hold me over until "Splatoon"!

People like to complain more than they actually like to think of new things and suggest them.   It's part of human nature, I think.  The grass is always greener on the other side, even if you have no clue what's on the other side.

I love my Wii U, actually its my fave console ever now, because it has amazing backwards compatibility.


I love mine as well. Wishing I wasn't having to dip into my Wii library so heavily to fill gaps between the major releases, though. 

Now, if only they get some GCN games on the eShop w/controller adapter support. Then I'll be fully satisfied...

 

*Amendment: GCN support w/Eternal Darkness for eShop + Metroid Prime 4 for the Wii U. THEN, I'll be fully satisfied ;)

The 8th gen has been extremely weak so far, except for maybe the WiiU.
