#178059 Activision "Very upset" with sales for Black Ops II for the Wii U.

Activision didn’t expect much from Wii U sales of Black Ops 2, but they sure didn’t expect it to be that abysmal. Activision gave Wii U owners the best version of Blops 2 with Off TV features, and Nintendo fans didn’t support it. It’s easy for Nintendo fans to trash publishers for not giving them ports, but publishers have wisened up. They realize Nintendo fans are all talk. Nintendo fans are vocal with their mouths, but when it’s time to open their wallets, they’ll spend that $60 on New Super Mario Bros instead.

There’s just no enthusiasm for it. The only reason publishers are still going to bring games to Wii U is because they don’t want to damage their relationship with Nintendo.

 

 

 

 

Ouch. Activison takes a shot at Nintendo and the Nintendo hivemind. They're right about Nintendo fans being all talk though.

Well guess what? Even if I were to stop MY "belly-aching", it's not going to stop future generations of players from doing the same thing. Do you know why that is? It's because as long as it's an issue, it will be addressed. Whether it's here, or on their website, on a reviewer's site, it doesn't matter. What the hell are forums for if you can't address the good AND the bad? This is NOT just for the sake of Monster Hunter enthusiasts, but for the first timers as well. Any criticism given should be one well noted, not simply disregarded because of its history.
I appreciate the feedback on the camera options. It's extra work on my end, but you take the good with the bad if it's worth it.
As for PendanticGamer, he/she(sorry..idk ><) is absolutely right in his/her judgement in expecting a better put-together port. Honestly, I wouldn't even have to play the previous installments to want the latest upgrades installed onto the ported title. It's called making your buck worth it. Is it wrong to expect results of a higher calibur?And are you completely ruled out if you happen to be new to the series? Depending on your answer...i may or may not choose to respond.


Yeah, you may be completely ruled out if you are new to the series, thats what keep trying to tell people when i say it has the highest entry barrier in gaming.

And what im telling you is in case you decide to go BEYOND being a new member to the series. Ask questions instead of complaining about the game. 99% of the time there is a reason its that way, and its something weve seen hundreds of thousands of times before, and most mh veterans are far happier to answer questions theyve seen before than the damn complaining we have to endure everytime mh gets some media exposure. And trust me, you are going to have questions, so many questions, and finding answers will make MORE QUESTIONS, and MORE QUESTIONS and then you decide to switch from blade master to gunner and the world is upside down and you have MORE QUESTIONS....

If however, you like the IDEA of monster hunter, like pedantic, but can not accept the entry barrier...

I will suggest dragons dogma, its a sister ip to monster hunter, making the sacrifices necessary to add high production values. Because of this some mh fans revile the series. But i appreciate the option to enjoy both the sophisticated old, and modernized new experiences with the fantastic monster hunter concept. I am a bit jealous in the massive shism in production values, but understand why it must be.

Its like mh, but its an open world rpg with excellent streamlined and modernized action controls. If monster hunter looks attractive to you, and you WANT to enjoy it, but just find yourself unable because of design choices or what have you, check out dragons dogma.
