#264261 Amazon Prime/Hulu not on E-Shop?

Posted by GreenPenInk on 01 January 2014 - 12:33 AM in Wii U Games and Software

 I uninstalled them a while back and now when I search it tells me they aren't on the E-shop.  I can search through my downloaded software and I see them but again if I click download it brings up an error.

 

 Anyone know what is going on? Is doing a factory reset the only way to get them back??



 Reformatted it... and now I can't connect to eShop at all. Sadface. Error 107-3058 I think.




#243788 Will a new Guitar Hero/Rock Band ever come to Wii U?

Posted by GreenPenInk on 03 September 2013 - 12:43 AM in Wii U Games and Software

 LAME! I guess I will have to get a real drum kit... but the immediate gratification isn't there.




#243292 Will a new Guitar Hero/Rock Band ever come to Wii U?

Posted by GreenPenInk on 31 August 2013 - 12:55 PM in Wii U Games and Software

 Any news on that front?




#242504 wii u ambassador program

Posted by GreenPenInk on 28 August 2013 - 11:56 PM in Wii U Hardware

 For the most part no.   I feel slightly bad for anyone who bought a Wii U about a month ago and can't return it to stores and wait for the price drop/bundles if that's what they want to do.  Even in my case though having bought it in June I feel like I got well worth the $50 out of it since then and would rather keep mine than sell it/rebuy it at a lower price in a month even if I could recoup the entire cost.  I am a huge Zelda fan and the design on the gamepad is nice but something about a solid sleek system where everything matches is more appealing to me.




#242502 Anyone playing Splinter Cell: Blacklist

Posted by GreenPenInk on 28 August 2013 - 11:52 PM in Wii U Games and Software

You can play it as a shooter, although its no COD. You can stay in the shadows taking people out though if that's your thing. That's the 'panther' style of play.

 

 Thanks bud.




#242458 The Wonderful 101 Misses the Top 20 in UK All-Format Charts

Posted by GreenPenInk on 28 August 2013 - 08:42 PM in Wii U Games and Software

 Just tried the demo.  This game might be a little too action packed for me to love it.  But, I will likely end up getting it just because I'm a collector whore and want all the Wii U exclusives.




#242384 Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze box art revealed!

Posted by GreenPenInk on 28 August 2013 - 04:29 PM in Wii U Games and Software

 Beautiful.




#242383 Lego City Undercover Premium pack incoming! - Inc. pic of bundle

Posted by GreenPenInk on 28 August 2013 - 04:28 PM in Wii U Games and Software

I feel like the only person that couldn't really get into Lego City.

 

 So far I am in the same boat.  But I guess it is exactly what people said it is.  A humorous storyline and lots of collection.




#242381 Anyone playing Splinter Cell: Blacklist

Posted by GreenPenInk on 28 August 2013 - 04:27 PM in Wii U Games and Software

It loads initially on the plane which is like the hub, and then it loads the mission and then you are set until the mission is done.

So although loading is bad it's infrequent enough not to ruin the game.

 

 Thanks.

 

 For someone who is itching to play a shooter and doesn't want to get one on the PC.  Will this game scratch that itch or should I wait for CoD: Ghosts?

 

 edit:  Like if I played, I would want to be a sniper rather than the guy slitting throats, but I would slit throats when necessary.




#242100 Batman Arkham Origins Wii U version - Still worth buying?

Posted by GreenPenInk on 27 August 2013 - 09:33 PM in Wii U Games and Software

  Can you post a link for me to the details of what we're missing? (anyone)




#241541 Anyone playing Splinter Cell: Blacklist

Posted by GreenPenInk on 25 August 2013 - 03:46 PM in Wii U Games and Software

 How often do you load in this game? Once per mission?

#238111 New trailer for Assassin's Creed 4

Posted by GreenPenInk on 09 August 2013 - 05:22 PM in General Gaming

Yup! Better controls than on normie-consoles. :)

 

 Well that's promising.  Controls are pretty much tied for number one as far as things that are important to me in a game.  I will only last about 30 seconds before I quit if they are awkward.




#237494 Managing money for games questions

Posted by GreenPenInk on 06 August 2013 - 05:25 PM in General Gaming

I opened a line of credit specifically for my hobbies, including gaming.  :wacko:

 

 Dangerous! But must be oh so satisfying.




#237483 Managing money for games questions

Posted by GreenPenInk on 06 August 2013 - 04:37 PM in General Gaming

 I have a credit card so Wii patience.  I never need real money anymore.  That's for suckers. 




#237481 New trailer for Assassin's Creed 4

Posted by GreenPenInk on 06 August 2013 - 04:34 PM in General Gaming

I'm surprised you guys didn't like ac3. I thought it was stunning.

 

 I haven't played anything in the AC series. :)  AC4 would be my first.

 

 Curious if you played AC3 on the Wii U.




#237054 Pikmin 3 North American Release Day

Posted by GreenPenInk on 04 August 2013 - 01:57 PM in Wii U Games and Software

 Does this not deserve it's own thread? I would have thought there would be one. I would have used Y2Kev's but I wanted a spoiler free thread.

 

 I just bought mine from Best Buy.  Was hoping it would be stocked at Superstore (I'm Canadian) so I could use my PC points but it wasn't on the shelves yet unfortunately.  Then again, it wasn't on the shelves in Best Buy either I had to ask for it.

 

About to go on a mini marathon here I think. 

 

 Who else bought it day one?

#236895 New trailer for Assassin's Creed 4

Posted by GreenPenInk on 03 August 2013 - 05:22 PM in General Gaming

Assassin's Creed:Revelations was my first game in the series(and first game on PS3) but it came with the original Assassin's Creed. The original game was boring but Revelations was cool. Anyway yeah don't buy it day one, save moneys. I bought revelations for full price and...there was no noticeable downside to it but I still probably should have waited.

 

 Haha I knew first day sounded awkward. Day one. Day one. 

 

 I'm definitely going to wait on AC but I am giving Wii U games major benefit of the doubt.  I caved and bought Lego City Undercover.  The writing is good. But haven't really jumped in to give it judgement yet.  I can't wait to increase my Wii U library lol.  I really want to have a glorious DVD rack full of AAA (triple A in fun for me to play) Wii U games.




#236299 Get a Wii U Basic for $199 at Walmart Canada this week.

Posted by GreenPenInk on 31 July 2013 - 08:53 PM in General Gaming

Boooooo.  But, I don't think I could stand having a white console.  Doesn't match my room. Even my Apple router annoys me a little.




#236067 New trailer for Assassin's Creed 4

Posted by GreenPenInk on 30 July 2013 - 05:54 PM in General Gaming

Be careful then. AC3 was my first game in the series and I didn't like it.

 

 I'm afraid of that too.  It won't be a first day purchase for me.  Definitely gonna wait on some player reviews.

 

 (But really the only way I won't buy it is if it has game breaking bugs/a lot less content than other versions/or is absolutely panned since my body is ready to experience AC.)




#235893 New Zelda U Rumours

Posted by GreenPenInk on 29 July 2013 - 07:27 PM in Wii U Games and Software

 Skyrim sucked overall as a game.  It's riveting for the first 10 - 15 hours..... and then you realize you're doing the same things over and over again.  So Aonuma's comments on capturing that feeling of Skyrim (hopefully the initial feeling, heh) is very promising.




#235706 New Zelda U Rumours

Posted by GreenPenInk on 28 July 2013 - 11:52 PM in Wii U Games and Software

 There absolutely is a point in having a horse. If you play M&B it illustrates why mounted soldiers were so valuable throughout history better than any textbook can. Even scoring a hit on a mounted soldiers is a challenge on foot and if you are going at speed you can kill by simply riding down an opponent.

 

That's a glorious mess because every fight in M&B has a lot of random variables. Each encounter in Zelda would be carefully designed. I want that sort of scope, with that sort of control available to you over your horse and all of your weapons (the controls of M&B are fantastic).  The level design/main enemy should be more along the video you posted.  I am thinking a hybrid of the two.  Cutting your way through an invading army, finding some sort of main monster Nazgul Rider/Dragon Rider/baddie riding a badder beast which you might need to shoot out of the sky.  And then fighting it on the battlefield with a war raging around you.

 

 Zelda doesn't need to/shouldn't reinvent the formula it's based on.  But it should be the most epic incarnation of it possible.




#235685 New Zelda U Rumours

Posted by GreenPenInk on 28 July 2013 - 09:32 PM in Wii U Games and Software

 Maybe my bar is messed up. But the setup instructions were fairly simple. It wasn't the keys by themselves that got to me.  I found motion control start to get tedious like you found the wolf mode in TP.  I play hockey so it's not like my wrists are frail but I'd play the game in short durations because it was definitely taxing on them in a way that's specific to playing the Wii.  That's why I'd prefer for motion control to be more targetted in it's implementation in the game.

 

 I forgive them for not having a more indepth Epona for OoT because it was their first foray into 3D. I am still hoping for a bigger role in Zelda U.

 

 Epona making an appearance in OoT/having ability to shoot bow off her ---> implementation in TP ---> full fledged combat as close to or better than M&B.  

 

 Like this:

 Looking forward to this. Never owned an Assassin's Creed.




#235668 New Zelda U Rumours

Posted by GreenPenInk on 28 July 2013 - 07:44 PM in Wii U Games and Software

Yeah, but double standard makes it seem like I have an agenda.

 

 I have no problem in raising the skill cap.  I just would prefer if they spent their time adding additional encounters where you may even need to perform even more intricate actions rather than making everything e.g. key twisting motion controlled and saying 'hey, look it was worth it.'

 

 Epona > Bird.  Mount and Blade 2 is the game I'm looking forward to more than any other probably because mounted combat is horsing amazing.  I wish they'd made the target practice earlier/thrown it in your face that it was available.

 

 Didn't know the gamepad had a sensor bar, that settles that, though I'd never play with the Wiimote/Nunchuk unless it was on my TV.

 

 I just didn't find TP tedious. I think I even thought it was too short. Heh. But it's been awhile  I guess I should replay that too and see how it fares after all these years. I could see some of my issues with SS being that I considered it something I wanted to get out of the way before I got into the Wii U library of games.  I should jump back in with a more chill explorative mood.

 

 I can agree with that. I'm starved for some actual Zelda U news and I'm hoping it's things I want to hear.
