#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.




#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.




#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...)




#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.




#245484 Ubisoft shuns Wii U time for a Proactive Nintendo...3rd parties don't care

Posted by The Halbird on 11 September 2013 - 09:03 AM in Wii U Hardware

I'm personally satisfied with my wii U library, but the fact that some games are being canceled is a bit concerning to me. However, That does not mean I'm going to give up on the wii U, and I can not afford a PS4 at the moment. It would take at least three years before I'd feel comfortable investing in a new game console, with the exceptions of those I've owned in the past and want or need to replace, and even then it's going to depend an factors such as game selection, economy, system durability, system convenience, ect.




#245425 What wii u games do you plan to have picked up by end of this year?

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

Zelda wind waker HD

Watchdogs

Possibly Raymon legends

 

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




#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. 




#244942 Exactly how much of a downgrade would a PS4 game suffer on Wii U?

Posted by The Halbird on 08 September 2013 - 10:39 AM in Wii U Hardware

I don't think they would be much of an upgrade, if at all, unless the xbox 1/PS4 is excessively easy to program and the developers either don't have the time or are entirely too lazy to take the measure to make the Wii U version port of the game. 




#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.




#243206 Is now the right time to buy?

Posted by The Halbird on 31 August 2013 - 03:31 AM in Wii U Hardware

I'd say it's worth it for several reasons.

 

A. You will save money

B. You will have richer pickings to chose from in terms of games.

C. You will have exclusive Nintendo titles

D. You will have access to vutural console games, and although they don't have very rich pickings yet, they eventually will. You could also save some money this way compared to buying the original game carts, especially concerning Earthbound.




#242590 wii u ambassador program

Posted by The Halbird on 29 August 2013 - 07:22 AM in Wii U Hardware

I sure as heck don't feel cheated. Let's face it, it cost money to invent, design, test, and publish a gaming console. That cost money, which is why the console cost more at the start. Would it hurt to have an ambassador program? No, it'd be good. But to they owe us one? NO! NO! a thousand times No!




#242525 Nintendo announces 2DS?

Posted by The Halbird on 29 August 2013 - 02:31 AM in General Gaming

The design looks great... But the lack of 3D effect might set some people off. Sure, it might be fine to play a game like pok'emon X/Y or Animal crossing, but other games that look better with the 3D effect... not so much.

On the upper hand, this idea will have three positive effects.

A. It will provide those who love the 3DS, own the original 3DS,and are possibly concerned about battery but don't have enough money to buy the XL to buy it easier, assuming they want more batteries life and can handle without the 3D effect. Even if it's battery life is somewhat terrible, having two systems will most likely double battery life.
B. It will provide Those new to gaming and want to try it out without spending upwards of 250 or more, or those of a more casual with a cheap method of buying new game titles.
C. It will provide those who like to collect a new system to play their games on.

 

I may eventually buy it for extended battery life, but that would be the only reason, most likely.




#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.




#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.




#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). 




#241644 Wii U Summer/Fall Update

Posted by The Halbird on 26 August 2013 - 03:54 AM in Wii U Hardware

Things I'd want most in an update:

 

Statistics folder, achievements, or perhaps another ambassador program.

 

Truth is, I really don't care, but it would be nice.




#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.




#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.




#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.




#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. 




#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.




#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.




#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?
