#161342 Why the Xbox 720 will fail.

Posted by Water Max on 21 January 2013 - 07:17 AM in General Gaming

I'm sure the XBOX 720 will eventually copy the Wii U GamePad or Microsoft already have plans to do that after seeing the Wii U since E3 2011. The XBOX Kinect is supposed to be Microsoft's alternative to the Wii Remote because the XBOX 360 was made earlier than the Wii. It is the same with the Playstation Move having motion features like the Wii Remote but now Microsoft and Sony now have a chance to change their controllers to be like the Wii U GamePad before they are publicly revealed.

#161314 Why Fanal Fantasy is dying

Posted by Water Max on 21 January 2013 - 06:36 AM in General Gaming

I personally hope they can get the Crystal Chronicles games going strong on the wii u. I loved the gamecube and DS games. Crystal Bearers has been the only real weak link so far. Give us a proper sequel to the gamecube game.
I've never played a main series game, but I do remember my friends as school always talking about VII but not being impressed with many past that. How different is crystal chronicles from the main series anyway?

I also like Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles and have often played it with a friend each week. I have played Final Fantasy III, VII, VIII, IX, X, XII and XIII. Crystal Chronicles is different to main series games because in the main series games if you see or touch an opponent you have to battle it and in some games opponents battle you randomly between cities but you can normally run away from these (a bit like in Pokémon) and there are no specifically defined levels of the game (only locations, the routes between them and a story).

I haven't played XI or XIV because I don't play MMORPGs so I hope that they release an offline Final Fantasy main series game soon.

#106204 Which game are you playing right now ?

Posted by Water Max on 11 September 2012 - 02:49 PM in General Gaming

Yesterday I bought Pokémon HeartGold version and I'm playing it now. I bought it because I already have SoulSilver version but I want to experience Johto again without losing all my event Pokémon by starting a new game.

#149226 What's the most expensive video game you've ever bought?

Posted by Water Max on 18 December 2012 - 08:09 AM in General Gaming

I think the most expensive video game I have bought is Monster hunter Tri with a Clasic Controller and model included for £60 but the greatest amount of money I've spent on video games in one week is £100 which I bought Pokémon Black 2 (£30), White 2 (£30) and Typing Adventure (£40) with all on their release dates.

#166070 What wii u games have you sold

Posted by Water Max on 02 February 2013 - 05:50 PM in Wii U Games and Software

I haven't sold any Wii U games and I rarely sell any game because they are either part of a series such as the Legend of Zelda or Professor Layton or I will play them again. I still have a lot of multiplayer Gamecube games in my university room which I use my Wii for and play often with my friends.

#99534 What Store do you Buy your Video Games at?

Posted by Water Max on 13 August 2012 - 03:42 PM in General Gaming

I usually buy my games at HMV, GAME, Gamestation or CEX.

#100627 What name do you choose in Loz

Posted by Water Max on 19 August 2012 - 03:00 PM in General Gaming

In the Legend of Zelda I have always chosen Link as my username because that is his name in the manga, official guides and the Super Smash Bros. series.

#229910 What Kickstarters have you backed?

Posted by Water Max on 08 July 2013 - 11:19 AM in General Gaming

I haven't backed any kickstarter yet but I have written an article on Bulbanews, the new division of Bulbapedia, about a Kickstarter to fund the Pure Nintendo Magazine which was suggested by another member of that community.

#99532 What is Your Favorite Pokémon?

#99536 What is your favorite gaming system?

Posted by Water Max on 13 August 2012 - 03:50 PM in General Gaming

I can't decide between the DS and the 3DS as my favourite video game console because because I think I have spent more time on the DS and games for it than any other console I own but I also like the StreetPass feature of the 3DS and I currently have 675 Street Hits and 720 Miis in my Plaza.

#142510 What are your rare nintendo items?

Posted by Water Max on 03 December 2012 - 06:48 AM in The Café

I think my rarest Nintendo item is the Gamecube game Pokémon BOX: Ruby and Sapphire which I got in the Pokémon Centre in New York which was the only place in the USA where the game could be bought. I live in the UK where the game could only be obtained by purchasing a Gamecube and Pokémon Colosseum bundle both of which I already had.

#156320 The Hobbit

I've seen a comic strip about the Hobbit by dorkly and it is also related to my favourite video game series, Pokémon. It can be seen in the following spoiler. Do many users here understand the joke?

#152970 The Hobbit

Posted by Water Max on 28 December 2012 - 07:45 AM in The Café

I enjoyed the film a lot. I've read the book of The Hobbit and I like the inclusion of of things which didn't happen in the book such as the coversation between Saruman, Galadriel and Gandalf. I've seen the movie twice now and during the second time of watching it I remembered many quotes from the film already.

#109641 The Best POKeMON Gen and best POKeMON

Posted by Water Max on 18 September 2012 - 01:48 PM in General Gaming

My favourite Pokémon generation is Generation IV and my favourite Pokémon are Dragonite, Ampharos, Milotic, Empoleon and Darmanitan.

#109701 The Best POKeMON Gen and best POKeMON

Posted by Water Max on 18 September 2012 - 03:12 PM in General Gaming

My favorite is gen 3, followed by a tie between 1 and 5, then gen 2, and my least favorite is definitely 4. My favorite pokémon is Kyogre (Even if he makes a miserable roommate) Also, why do people always seem to like Charizard so much? I never understood that... What was everyone's first Pokémon? Mine was a Torchic who I have as a Blaziken on White version currently.

My first Pokémon was Squirtle in Red version. I think people like Charizard so much because Charmander was their first Pokémon or from seeing Ash's Charizard in the anime. Many competitive Pokémon fans think Charizard has become weaker from the introduction of the move Stealth Rock and other powerful Rock type moves and that is also why all of the newly introduced final stage Fire type starter Pokémon since Generation III have been Fire/Fighting Pokémon.

#225311 Sony says Vita was developed for PS4 more than PS3, not unreasonable to own both

Posted by Water Max on 22 June 2013 - 10:21 AM in General Gaming

A MMO pokemon?... didn't they make like that one pokemon game on the DS that was different from the other ones?...

Are you thinking about Pokémon Conquest? That game looks like the MMO World of Warcraft but it has no online multiplayer and therefore isn't an MMO. Also the the gameplay in Pokémon Conquest is more like the Fire Emblem series than World of Warcraft.

#225241 Sony says Vita was developed for PS4 more than PS3, not unreasonable to own both

Posted by Water Max on 22 June 2013 - 03:38 AM in General Gaming

The quoted text in the first post makes Sony look like they will eventually give up making very good games for the PSVita and just focus on the connectivity between it and the PS4.

Well, it will be, kinda. You'll see.

Nah the Wii U has the gamepad no point to it...

Currently the 3DS can connect to the Wii U by transferring Miis to the Wii U and I expect that there will be more features like this introduced in the future but I don't believe that the 3DS will become only an accessory for the Wii U because the 3DS will continue to have very good games made for it.
