I said come in! posted:I was being sarcastic. Last gen was amazing. I never know what to say to people who felt last gen wasn't overflowing with really great games. Sure, if you were a PC gamer. Compare last gen to the PS2/Dreamcast/Gamecube gen or the N64/PSX/Saturn gen and marvel at how poo poo it was in comparison.

Sleeveless posted:The Wii didn't have a lot of 3rd party support outside of shovelware minigame collections because it was both underpowered compared to its competitors and was built around a gimmicky control scheme that not even Nintendo was able to really take advantage of, and both of those are still true for the WiiU. The big difference this time is that they're letting more third-party devs use Nintendo IPs to try and pad out their library but on the other hand Nintendo is still figuring out how to work in HD which is why the first two years of the WiiU were such a wasteland as they shuffled their teams around and delayed games in the name of getting announced titles out the door on time. I dunno my favorite experiences on Wii U have been gimmick free. You can play all the best games with the Pro controller which is more or less an Xbox controller, the tablet isn't a requirement at all. Also there are actually Wii U games that currently look great, Wii games imo instantly looked like poo poo the moment you got an HD TV.

The tablet is a really awesome controller which allows for better aiming, a way to switch items or view the map without pausing, and many other way sick functions in funtastic Ninfriendo games.

Some features of the tablet: it is big enough that my bird can stand upon it and play games with me, it makes Windwaker feel very smooth and uninterrupted, out of the three devices that play Netflix in my house it has the least garbage interface, it allows for me to tap my amiibos and view the rewards in Hyrule Warriors without even turning off Seinfeld. A great controller for a modern age.

Hmm actually no last gen was pretty epic with tons of cool games big and small Metal Gear Rising: Revengence, Dark Souls, Dragon's Dogma, Super Mario Galaxy, Xenoblade Chronicles, The Last Remnant, Super Meat Boy, Portal, Bastion. Gaming's ambrosia? I think so

I am a video game Ebeneezer Scrooge. All the other peasants are wallowing in desperation, happy to accept a few simple coins for me to spend an evening in their worthless little hovel, while I throw scads of money that could feed most of them for a year at some bug monster just so that my muscles register as literally the strongest on the planet. Hope that I pass you by and want one of your magic orbs, impoverished masses, and maybe you'll eat for a day while I make rupees disappear into my already full wallet here in my Skingrad mansion, where I'm feeding my prize chocobo a weed that's worth more than your entire family.

There's also some special neurotransmitter that is released when you finally kill a god at the end of a multi-hour raid, and your class chestpiece drops, and you roll a 100.

Nice loving town you guys got here. With my SeeD rank, it'd take me approximately one walk through the trees or turning in one of my playing cards to buy the entire thing. Now hand over your meaningless tributes or Quistis will suck you into a black hole that leads to one of those games where you have to make some of the numbers go down to make the others go up.

Oh, hey, you guys are complaining about pollution again, even though I built lots of parks and you're almost a Megalopolis now. It would be a shame if there were to be a plane crash near the residential districts, huh? Maybe you want to think about what a nuclear plant meltdown would do for the environment the next time you vote in your little newspaper poll.

She might be lovely at her job, but she's still an honest-to-God game critic, and that scares the gently caress out of AAA publishers.

so apparently some girl threw herself at a tourney player and tried to start an incident, so she could provoke him into hitting her and making her into the victim? like she grabbed him and tried to act like he was overpowering her, while he stood there doing nothing. then she had some of her friends nearby shouting "disqualify him!" immediately while the guy stood there wondering what the hell this chick was doing but her retard plan was completely foiled because someone filmed the whole thing in perfectly clear detail, then she deleted all her internet accounts and vanished lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Sfs9h3bIDg

A great controller for a modern age. I agreed with you until you said the interface wasn't garbage. It's completely missing the option to turn the drat gamepad off during games and shows without using a secondary pro controller that has a better auto-off.
