I don't want to play it until they fix matchmaking, because the way it handles lag is awful and 3 out of every 5 matches you'll just drop it, i've been dropped in the last 8 loving seconds of a game, and you get nothing
The problem is you, get off WiFi or get better Internet. Hope that helps

NEWT THE MOON

Has anyone got the download version of LCU? Are the load times any better? My disc version has all kind of load errors and is basically useless, so I was thinking about going and trading it in and getting the download version.

Yeah, sorry, but after the first Lego Star Wars or two, the gameplay has become pretty rote. I even tried the Lego Marvel game and, despite being a huge Marvel fan, got bored really quickly. Collecting nonexistent baubles just feels like a huge waste of time. Especially when the Wii U is such a generally great "pick up and play" console, offering quick bursts of much deeper, yet accessible, games like Splatoon, Mario Kart 8, SM3DW, etc.

Lego City Undercover sounds dope, but can anyone confirm that it's not one of those games that people say are great, but are almost excruciatingly simple and dumbed down for children, like Captain Toad? Because that game is really quite polished, but as a Fully Grown Human Adult, the pace and simplicity totally fail to engage me.

Plot-wise, there are plenty of great references in the game that will sail right over kids' heads. Also you get to smash things! Anyway, if you've played any of the Lego games, this is probably the best one. The only downsides: collecting everything eventually gets tedious, and there's no off-TV play.

EDIT: Didn't see you basically already pooh-poohed giving it a shot. Oh well. It's awesome anyway.

It's Grand Theft Lego. If you like GTA and you like the hub world in the newer Lego games and would like that expanded to a whole game, then you'll like it.

It seems like the type of game that would be cool to pick up for $10-20, but at full price why not just get actual GTA 5?

My biggest complaint about Lego Undercover is the fact that there's no off screen play. I can deal with loading times but that is honestly a bummer and probably why I never finished the game, but all of this talk makes me want to go back and pick it up again.

Yeah they should enable more games for it, but It's a still good deal imo if you get it for retail price and already have the gamecube controllers.

I can verify that many absolutely do and there is no requirement for the women to be gay and the men to be straight. It is universally agreed upon that tits are awesome.

Wow, whole lotta people getting salty about somebody having slightly more discerning taste than them.

Lego GTA looks cool but I'm just hesitant based on prior disappointments. I get that if you spend most of your time playing games, that inane gameplay features like collecting things seem fun, since they prolong your gaming experience, thus enriching your shallow existence.

It's not like collecting anything in the Lego games is ever mandatory, you know. But since every viddy game purchase must be perfect and amazing, you have everyone's permission to not buy it.

Huh? The Adapter is only $20 and ideal for those that already have 4 Gamecube Controllers. Certainly cheaper than buying 4 Hori pads because Smash is the only 8 person game for the system

This is an absolute lie. Rayman Legends is fantastic and you even get Origins in its entirety as a bonus.
Yeah. I just really don't love Rayman as a character, and most of the sidekicks have an even more annoying character design. I played the whole thing as the Viking chick with the axe except when I had to be the bug just because it was the least awful thing to look at all the time. The musical levels are good, and it has the most playable water levels in nearly any game. There's a lot too it, and I might very well be in the minority, but I just can't give half a poo poo about what is going on in the game or what any of the characters are doing. I feel no investment in the game at all.

raditts posted:

What the gently caress

I like both of those games and Guacamelee is not even in the same universe as Rayman platformer-wise, it's more of a metroidvania.

Most of it is more of a metroidvania. Getting the good ending requires getting certain collectables, several of which are hidden behind some of the BEST platforming I've ever played. It was insanely hard and took 999 tries, but unlike a lot of hard platforming, it felt totally fair and like I just needed to GET GUD


I have both, Rayman is fun. If I had to pick or recommend only one, I personally think Guacamelee is a better game. Shorter, perhaps, but better.
