I was on the fence about whether to get this game or not, I decided against it and got NSMB U instead, even now, I still don't know if I made the right decision, NSMB U is actually challenging, either that or I'm just terrible at platformers now.
He's reviewing a Nintendo game and he has to compare something in favor to it apparently.Casual Shinji said:
No, it's much like with Mario Galaxy, where the guys at Nintendo essentially said "We do listen to players saying the previous game is too easy and make you regret saying it."OuendanCyrus said:
By the way, did anyone else notice that starting with the Super Nintendo and with the exception of the Gamecube, Nintendo likes to have most the game titles for the given console to fit the theme of the console? For the Super Nintendo, many of the titles had "Super" attached to them, for the Nintendo 64 they had 64 attached on the the end, the Wii had Wii tacked on to the end, and now with the Wii U they're haveing U tacked on to the end.
That's the problem with a "serious" zombie game like this, after you introduce them you can't really add anything new exept for more intense encounters. You can't introduce, say, fly-men once you've established this is a "conventional" zombie outbreak. This is probibly why Resident Evil made it aobut bio-weapons, to add giant snakes and lizard-men giving the game some variaty.
The thing about the Wii U is it really is the Wii again. Nintendo talk about it being for the harcore, release a party game as their launch title (not ZombiU, Adventureland) and all the tech demos are about 5 players, 4 of which have wii motes. And they base it around a gimmick and it doesn't have the hardware to keep up with the other consoles
Whats more, they're bigging up asychronous gameplay, but guess what, we've been able to do that since we invented the internet when you think about it. We just don't do it that often (except for L4D Vs and defend/attack maps) because it's really not that interesting if you don't have other people in the room with you.
So what I'm saying is, the Wii U is more like the Wii Too

Ohoho, country dick waggerling is it *gets out 'Bush' portfolio*TomLikesGuitar said:The Wii U's controller is the stupidest think I've ever seen. People thought the Wii's controller would be "revolutionary" and the Wii was just a shovelware box. I'd give it a year before we see the same exact thing from the Wii U.
1. No one in America actually thinks that.WaitWHAT said:
2. I'd rather be in a country where people think that a Queen should do something than be in a country that is backwards enough to still have a Queen, stupid enough to not have her do anything, and shallow enough to publicly make her and her family's affairs into pop culture... but that's just me.
Seriously though guy/gal, the only peeps who give it the 'God save the queen' thing anymore are proberly much akin to the 'God bless America' lot. Shes like the relative no one likes, we only really put up with her at Christmas. Shes good for coaxing tourists away from their money though.
Well since he's apparently not terribly interested in the ladies, either [http://www.fullyramblomatic.com/archive/20080719-20100626.htm] (scroll down to 29/09/09), seems Nintendo's only option at this point is the seppuku thing.Vie said:
did Yahtzee just give a mostly positive review of a Nintendo product? and a triple 'A' survival horror game?
Dear god its a sign of the apocalypse! the Mayan's were right! the world will end on a Friday!

The graphics processor unit on the Wii U is better than the one on the PS3 and Xbox 360. The processor isn't as fast though. So games like Dynasty Warriors or Dead Rising might suffer from slowdown. A game like Zelda or Mario will run at 60fps and display nice graphics since those games don't need that much processing.Hardcore_gamer said:
"...gimmicks that are a solution looking for a problem" is a golden statement that just about sums up the Wii and the Wii U's control scheme, thank you Yahtzee.
And before someone tries to tell me with a straight face that this is how we're going to move forward with technology/innovation...no, just no. And again, before someone tries to tell me "at least they're doing something different", I tried to take a shit while standing up today for the sake of doing something different. It didn't go too fucking well.

Yeah, this morning I decided to eat cyanide-laced dog feces, instead of Cornflakes. At least I was trying to do something different!canadamus_prime said:
