#237783 Hi there, I'm new.

Posted by The Halbird on 08 August 2013 - 07:49 AM in Introduction Central

Hi there! My name is Halbird. I purchesed a Wii U back in May and thought I might try looking for a Wii U forum. I saw this and thought, "Hey, this looks pretty good," So I thought I might give the forum a try. Anyways, here's a few things about me:

 

I can be shy at times.

My three most favorite Nintendo game systems are the Super Nintendo, Wii U, and the Game Boy Advance.

Although I do enjoy many nintendo games and consoles, I'm usally open to play games on any console.

My favorite non-Nintendo consoles are Sega Dreamcast, Sega Genisus, Playstation 1 & 2, PSP, and the Xbox 360 Slim.

I almost always play offline.

 

And that's about it for me.

 




#260646 Are you considering buying a Steam Machine?

Posted by The Halbird on 12 December 2013 - 01:15 AM in General Gaming

I don't see any reason not to get one, if what Steam says is true about the concept. However... I'm converting my old gameing rig with is currently useing ubuntu right now. (Was useing windows 7, but it came pre-installed and the old motherboard blew out on me, so...)




#237827 I don't mean to be negative but......

Posted by The Halbird on 08 August 2013 - 09:19 AM in General Gaming

I do like to play some Golf games from time to time. I'm not nesscerly disapointed by the lack of a major golf game on the Wii U, but I am eargerly looking forward to one comming out.




#260653 Fallout 4 is REAL set in Boston

Posted by The Halbird on 12 December 2013 - 02:18 AM in General Gaming

I'll get it if it's on Wii U, PS3, or Xbox 360. I may or may not get it on PC, depends if I have Windows 7 or if things work out on Steam OS, which ever comes first.




#240688 If Nintendo had a choice to buy a 3rd party publisher, who would you chose?

Posted by The Halbird on 21 August 2013 - 04:20 AM in General Gaming

I'd have Nintendo buy Capcom simply because Capcom can't do their fans justice and Nintendo could resurrect all of their canceled games. 




#260606 What is your favorite season?

Posted by The Halbird on 11 December 2013 - 07:35 PM in The Café

I perfer the cool spring time around my area. Perfect for playing my game boy color, going back to simpler times.




#241875 EA no longer working anything offline.

Posted by The Halbird on 27 August 2013 - 03:16 AM in General Gaming

Well, I'l really glad EA isn't making NASCAR games anymore, although I haven't really tried any new NASCAR game since NASCAR unleashed. I do wish that The Sims and Sim City would find a new publisher, though.




#237838 Would you had done anything different with releasing the WiiU?

Posted by The Halbird on 08 August 2013 - 09:47 AM in Wii U Games and Software

I think the system is ok as is, But I would do five things:

 

1. Advertise more

2. increase the Ram to 2.5 GB and add additional ram for the OS

3. Increase the CPU to a 2.6 GHz quadcore

4. Increase Graphic card unit effecenct and power by 12%-20%

5. Offer to fund a few games for popular TV shows, Books, and other non video game entertainment sorces, while makeing them not only avalable on launch, but also makeing them excelent games, not a junk or sub-par game that relies on the gimmik of it being from a famous book, movie, or tv show.

 




#240683 Wind Waker HD Bundle and Pokemon bundles rumored

Posted by The Halbird on 21 August 2013 - 03:41 AM in Wii U Games and Software

Looks nice to me. I wouldn't buy it unless my current Wii U was to break on me, though. 

 

What I'd like to know is how much internal storage capacity does it have? 8GB? 32GB? more than 32GB?




#241339 Call of Duty no longer listing Ghosts Free Fall for Wii U, retailers still are

Posted by The Halbird on 25 August 2013 - 03:55 AM in Wii U Games and Software

Meh... Call of duty Black opps two has all I needed from a call of duty game, a great story line and the ability to play the multiplayer aspect without needing to go online or have a friend over, Via the bot system. I'm not sure if I even would want call of duty Ghost, but I might pick it up eventually, if It does come out on the Wii U, or in the event I buy a Playstation 4.




#237841 Bethesda says Wii U is not on our radar due to "Hardware Issues"

Posted by The Halbird on 08 August 2013 - 10:11 AM in Wii U Hardware

My main response is actually a question... Does Bethsheba really have a hardwhare problem with the Wii U or does Bethsheba just not want to publish games for the Wii U, and is just using the hardware as an excuse? If Bethsheba has a hard ware problem, I think they should say what that is, but if Bethsheba just dosen't want to make games on the Wii U, then hiding behind a hardware issue may not be the best way to say that.




#240686 Selling Wii Us without BC?

Posted by The Halbird on 21 August 2013 - 04:02 AM in Wii U Hardware

Removing backward compatibility would be a bad thing IMHO, Especially if someone does not have a lot of money to spend on video games but does have a few good triple A Wii titles. The price cut from making a BC less console would probably not lower the cost of the system like time would anyways assuming it would lover the price of the system at all.




#240687 Sims 4

Posted by The Halbird on 21 August 2013 - 04:11 AM in General Gaming

I might get it for the Wii U and the PC, if it does come out on the Wii U. I know the PC version will have the option of expansion packs and modding, but I have the Sims 3 for the computer and the PlayStation three and the one for PS3 had a solid enough experience for me.




#245112 Possibly all of the Mega Evolutuion Pokemon.

Posted by The Halbird on 09 September 2013 - 12:03 PM in General Gaming

Mega- Eevee. Mega Sandslash, and Mega Beedrill. That's what I'd like to see. 




#260664 What games deserve ports? (XB1/PS4/WIIU)

Posted by The Halbird on 12 December 2013 - 03:01 AM in General Gaming

Port Mount and blade Warband and Minecraft to Wii U.




#240708 How hype do you think Pokemon X & Y are getting?

Posted by The Halbird on 21 August 2013 - 05:53 AM in General Gaming

I'm not all that hyped about it. Yeah, it looks great, and it would be a triple A title for my 3DS, I just don't get as excited about a new pok'emon game as I use to.




#241941 so. .. do we forgive Rayman?

Posted by The Halbird on 27 August 2013 - 07:53 AM in Wii U Games and Software

I'll most likely get it for Christmas. I'll want to pick up Wind waker HD and Watchdogs first, if possible.




#240610 Have you forgiven Microsoft yet?

Posted by The Halbird on 20 August 2013 - 05:20 PM in General Gaming

Well, considering I was not going to even buy next generation consoles, (Did end up with a Wii U), There's really not all that much to forgive that well, however, even if the economy was good and I was going to buy all of the next gen consoles, the Xbox one would still too resource dependent.That doesn't mean I won't buy and play games for my original Xbox, Xbox 360, or Windows 7 gaming computer, though.




#243379 Infinity Ward says the Wii U Version of COD Ghosts is not Current or Next-Gen

Posted by The Halbird on 01 September 2013 - 03:08 AM in Wii U Games and Software

I'm pretty sure that Infinity Ward would say that my Gaming PC is not next gen, even if I where to add a $300 graphics card to it. But that's aside the point. 

 

If you want my honest opinion, if games get too much more graphically powerful, then I may have to quit buying new games since I've noticed that some of the more graphically intense games strain my eyes. So even if what Infinity ward says is true, I'm not going to whine over the fact.




#241663 8 year old kills Grandmother after playing GTA IV

Posted by The Halbird on 26 August 2013 - 06:55 AM in General Gaming

I think it's a parental failure on both parts. The kid should not have had access to a gun or GTA. Now I'm not saying kids can't play games or watch shows with guns in and of themselves, but if they are allowed to do so, it should only be allowed if the Game or show isn't going over the top in terms of violence.One of the ememies in the original Spyro the dragon had primitive type of gun, while in one of the Digimon seasons, Bealzomon used guns, yet both where designed for usage by a kid audience via ratings (Not saying older people couldn't enjoy Spyro or Digimon). 




#240541 How do you feel about the Wii U gamepad?

Posted by The Halbird on 20 August 2013 - 02:08 PM in Wii U Hardware

I will say that it is quite comfortable to use, and I like how the games that I've tried use it properly. I'm pretty happy with it.




#240707 Minecraft is now available on Sony consoles

Posted by The Halbird on 21 August 2013 - 05:47 AM in General Gaming

Meh...I don't know. I already have Minecraft on the Xbox 360, so I would not need it on the PS3. Now on the Wii U... given how one might be able to use the touch screen to enhance game play, I might go for it. However, I'd only do so if it was under $30.




#260652 Mario Kart 8

Posted by The Halbird on 12 December 2013 - 02:14 AM in Wii U Games and Software

I'm excited for Mario cart, to be perfectly honest. The last one I play was for the N64, which I no longer have. (Not sure what happened to it.) However, I'm a patent guy, so as long as the situation remains optiml for making, selling, buying, and playing video games, I could care less if it came out yesterday or december 2014. But... that's just me. I'd perfer a Summer release, so as to catch up on buying those games I don't have just yet.

Posted by The Halbird on 11 September 2013 - 01:42 AM in Wii U Games and Software

There are other games i'm interested in, but those are the big three I'm aiming for.
