#231064 Thinking about selling my Wii U guys...

Posted by Elem187 on 12 July 2013 - 10:38 AM

I read your OP and still do not see the logic in selling something you might not get much more than $200 usd/eur for, only to repurchase next year for $250 eur/usd (if there even is a price cut)

 

You would be losing quite a bit of money by selling it now before the parade of games start releasing (next month here in NA) or in a couple weeks in Europe.

 

The PS4 isn't so drastically expensive that you absolutely have to sell the Wii U to afford it, no? Unemployed will make the diliemna much harder, because how are you going to afford the ps4 even after selling the Wii U?

 

Hold on to it, as the PS4 is going through its growing pains of a new console, the Wii U will already be coming out of them....

 

Personally i'm looking to buy a new gaming PC sometime this year, but I wouldn't sell my Wii U to afford any component of my new PC because the Wii U is just on the cusp of coming out of the dreaded software drought.




#213305 Why do I have a Wii U?

Posted by Elem187 on 30 May 2013 - 09:35 AM

I do the same thing. I was playing Resident Evil Revelations last night on the gamepad out on my balcony.... beautiful night here in central florida last night, light breeze, drizzle rain...



Is the door an Xbox One? It's about the same size.

:laugh:

 

if nextgen means paying an extra fee to play rented/used games, and having to phone home every 24 hours to ask for permission to play my games, I think I'll pass.




#213304 Funky Barn VS Fast and Furious

Posted by Elem187 on 30 May 2013 - 09:31 AM

I rented Funky Barn for my wife (She's addicted to Farm games on Facebook), and she loved it as well.

 

its not even a good comparison. Fast n Furious is a complete abomination of a title. There is at least some enjoyment in Funky Barn.




#213292 Wii U version of RE: Revelations "Visibly Less refine than PS360"

Posted by Elem187 on 30 May 2013 - 08:54 AM

Wtf? I just played the game, it looks comparable to the pc version at high settings. What a load of carp!

Eurogamer/Digital Foundry have been going out of there way constantly to cast the Wii U in the worst possible light.

 

They were already caught a few times embellishing things... Like their comparison with Trine 2 from all the versions. Their first article slammed the Wii U for all sorts of things, like lower resolutions, texture quality and particle effects compared to the PS360 versions... then the devs posted at that review and corrected them that the Wii U version is the only console version running in full 720p, while the PS360 version were in fact running Sub HD resolutions.. The Wii U version also had the PC level of effects the PS360 couldn't run.

 

Remember Need for Speed MW? They downplayed everything the Wii U had over the PS360 version.. ssaying things like the high resolution textures is only minimally better than the PS360 version, etc etc....

 

I don't take anything DF/Eurogamer has to say about any Wii U  game. They seem to have this built in bias against Nintendo. The site is complete crap. I have Re;R on Wii u and it plays fine.. I don't see any skips.




#213272 Nintendo should start advertising like they used to

Posted by Elem187 on 30 May 2013 - 08:17 AM

 

 

Wait is that Paul Rudd in the first commercial?



I think it will.

Especially with the resurgence in studios making RPGs and the success of monster hunter.

The time is right.

 

It will probably sell as well as Fire Emblem: Awakening did.

 

But if they released it sooner during the great big Nintendo Wii U drought they could possibly sell a copy to most of the userbase.
