I just read the IGN review and I'm not buying their horrible review. It would seem that the reviewers big complaint was the enemy A.I. was terrible, I can see that being a problem but the rest of it just seems like he was being too picky.

I've bought games that had horrible reviews and still loved them. Despite the reviews though I still think the Survival mode still sounds fun.

Is it just me or do this game's animations look outdated? I would have expected something much better from a game released in this day and age, particularly from a developer like Gearbox...

I believe they have only shown the 360/PS3 version of the game. They are indeed building it from the ground up I think it'll blow their versions out of the water.

I love how there is always at least one person on Metacritic that gives a super positive review.

This will be my first MH game so I'm really looking forward to it, seen a few videos and it looks sweet.
Will it be better played with a large group?
If so I'll be adding all you guys as I'll no doubt need all the help I can get to begin with.

This will be my first MH game as well. I have heard they can be pretty difficult if you don't play with friends, and since I don't have any friends with a Wii U yet, I think I'll be adding some of you guys.
As long as you don't make fun of me if I suck.

Didn't 360 have a FB app and then dropped it due to lack of interest? Skype would be a perfect fit so you could talk to people without a Wii U, which outnumbers people with.

Reviews for 360/PS3:

IGN: 7.0 with a community score of 8.0

Gameinformer: 6.75 with a community score of 8.25

Metacritic: 69 with a community score of 7.6

Gamespot: 7.5

 

So for the people out there that care about reviews here's the break down of a few sites. When a score hovers around 7.0 it typically it's a good game, just not for everybody. Everybody who has played it has good things to say about it. I'm glad the game is coming to Wii U, I'll definitely be buying this game.

Ok, I'm still not seeing how tell from detail.

Agreed. Can't really tell anything about it from this clip.

We are talking about a dark, barely visiable image here. I'm sure the final version will look a lot better.

Couldn't wait to see what a talented company could do with the Wii U's tech. Makes me want to play the first one so I can get pumped for this one.

All the games you can play with friends I think I spent the most time on. If you were to add up all my time on my consoles and my friends playing Smash Brothers or Mario Kart it would be extremely high.

Pokemon as well, the game was great. It had hundreds of hours of singleplayer gameplay and you can battle and trade with friends. Being portable helps out a lot too.

Some of my best gaming memories came from the GC. I still believe the best games to date came out on the SNES and GC.

But if nintendo does add them,what u guys not going to play wii u anymore!

Of course I'll still play, just think Nintendo is better off without Achievements/Trophies.

 

360/PS3 have them to give gamers more of a reason to keep playing the game and to add to the replay value. Nintendo has always been good a packing their games with enough unlockables and content to keep people playing without the use of these systems. If they add it then "Oh well", but I'd be happier if they didn't have to go there.

If I had to put my money down on at least 3 of those annoucments, it would be more from Ubisoft. They wouldn't confirm or deny that they were making Wii U versions of Watch Dogs, Splinter Cell: Blacklist or Rainbow Six: Patriots. Considering how much support they have for Nintendo it wouldn't surprise me.

already finished this ages ago on my X360.

 

what is the point in releasing old games on the WiiU ?

Probably for people like me who wanted it but put off buying it. I'm happy to see it may be released for Wii U, as alot of other people that missed it the first time around too I'm sure.

then why not buy it for less than half the price now on your X360 ?

For alot of reasons, but mainly because I think a game like that would be enjoyable on the Wii U. I'm sure the game will have some enhancements, which I think will be worth the price.

Personally I have to disagree. Nyko are just as poor as MadKatz. The only consistently decent third party brand is Hori.

I've never actually saw anything from Hori. Don't think they sell that brand around where I'm from.

Nyko has been making very good quality stuff for Nintendo over the years. If it was from Madkatz I wouldn't even consider it.

Gearbox sounds very sketchy, I will no longer support them after this nonsense.

Most definitely sketchy, but they have proven in the past that when they are working on an original IP and not some lisenced project or hand me down from 3D Realms that they can be pretty good. They should probably keep their games in-house and original.

I'm not huge on reviews either...usually games with like a 6-10 I generally give a shot..but when multiple reviews give a game 2-4/10......even I look to spend my money elsewhere...its usually well deserved, or at least not worth picking up for $60. This would be a used $12 game tops for me.

Aliens isn't on top of my "must have" list or anything, a lot of other great games came out that I would rather spend $60 on, Aliens is a $20-$30 game tops, I think I can wait for that.

I'm not one that's too big on reviews. I've played tons of awesome games that got lackluster reviews. I'm still hoping for a Wii U release.

is this the same version released on the PS3/X360 & PC or is the WiiU better ?

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the Wii U version was actually being ported by Demiurge Studios. So while the 360/PS3 versions where reviewed poorly for horrible graphics (along with a ton of other reasons) the Wii U version still had hopes to be graphically superior. Gamepad support was also a big plus.

Nintendo consoles are still the top selling systems in Japan and they're dominating the handheld market worldwide. I can see them maybe scaling back from the western market some, but I wouldn't count them out just yet. I feel they could at least have one more console left in them.

I really hope we get this game. Bungie has been releasing tidbits about this game the past few days and I think it looks great. No reason why 360/PS3 and get versions and not us.

Mario of War....Day one buy!!!
