#230752 Ratchet and Clank:Into the Nexus

Posted by IvyT on 11 July 2013 - 07:00 AM in General Gaming

I've been playing Ratchet & Clank since the first game on the PS2 but to be honest the PS3 releases have been crap and this one seems so unnecessary imo. It feels pretty bland, more of the same... instead I'd rather them wait a little longer for a PS4 version.




#229299 PS3 Last of US ending - Am i the only 1?

Posted by IvyT on 06 July 2013 - 08:50 AM in General Gaming

I've seen so many people criticize the ending but to be honest what did you want instead?

 

Joel grew to care about Ellie, it wasn't about what was morally right... if you were in the same situation as him, caring for someone so much like Joel does for Ellie, would you have let them go for the sake of something you didn't know wasn't 100% guaranteed? The vaccine wasn't a sure thing.

 

Besides Ellie had a bad case of survivor's guilt. Here's a really good quote on Tumblr that explains that issue a little bit better.




#231024 PS+ just signed up. What a good deal.

Posted by IvyT on 12 July 2013 - 07:12 AM in General Gaming

I don't always have PS+ but when I do it's amazing. So many free games each month and it's not like they're crappy games or terribly outdated ones. I got my PS3 last year, 500 GB Super Slim model, and to be honest I only have like 5 games because I'm always too busy playing the games from PS+




#231026 Princess As Protagonist For Next Game?

Posted by IvyT on 12 July 2013 - 07:17 AM in General Gaming

The only princess I really want to have her own game is Zelda. It's a longtime coming for years now.




#235089 Prices on Amazon for Wii U games are dropping fast....

Posted by IvyT on 26 July 2013 - 04:47 PM in Wii U Games and Software

I feel like these lazy ports should've never even been sold at $60 price. Most of them were over a year old already when they were released on the Wii U. They would've probably sold more too if they cost around $40. I know that I'd have bought one already if they weren't still so outrageously expensive for a game that I can buy for my PS3 for $20.




#232255 Price for Next Gen EA titles

Posted by IvyT on 16 July 2013 - 11:49 PM in General Gaming

Just sad that Bioware games are published by EA. It makes it really difficult to me to completely boycott them but I can barely afford $60 for a game, much less $80.

I don't know how accurate this is, especially considering I'm connected via wifi but I think I have decent enough speeds (most of the time) to think I have a good internet connection. Still, the update must've taken about 2 hours, maybe a bit more. It's okay, I watched TV meanwhile  :P

Pretty basic stuff, haven't been in the mood to customize anything except the wallpaper  :P

Finally! I've been wanting to get my hands on these two games for a while now!




#232743 Pokemon Rumble U NA release date & details

Posted by IvyT on 18 July 2013 - 05:48 AM in Wii U Games and Software

I'd love to see a Colosseum or Gale of Darkness type of game on the Wii U. Those are the good kind of Pokémon games for consoles. These spin offs are pointless.




#232902 Pokemon RPG for Wii U

Posted by IvyT on 18 July 2013 - 01:59 PM in Wii U Games and Software

I really liked what they did with Colosseum and Gale of Darkness, so yeah it could totally be successful in a home console, it's just probably Game Freak doesn't want that. 




#233275 Pokemon RPG for Wii U

Posted by IvyT on 19 July 2013 - 03:42 PM in Wii U Games and Software

I would rather see them make a way to play 3ds games on the Wii u with a hi res texture pack. You know, like use street pass to somehow have the 3DS stream the Pokemon versions to the Wii u, the Wii u has a program on it that plays the 3ds game in hi res.

 

What? What 'program'? Because damn, the moment the Wii U starts playing 3DS games than what's the point of owning a 3DS? Nintendo would never do that.




#233755 Pokemon RPG for Wii U

Posted by IvyT on 21 July 2013 - 10:50 AM in Wii U Games and Software

You didn't think about this post as all did you?

The GameCube had an add on that allowed people to play game boy advance games on the tv. Think of this as a program that performs a similar function. The game I still a 3DS game and runs on the 3DS, this just streams to the Wii u and has a texture pack that allows for HD (or at least higher quality visuals). Still a 3DS game, just with a way to continuously sun with the Wii u so you can play on your console while you are home and your 3DS is in range

The 3DS will always be worth owning because it is a portable and I can always keep it with me. I've always gamed a lot more on the portable side than console side.

 

Well, I thought you meant playing 3DS games like some sort of Virtual console thing. Streaming 3DS games to your TV via Wii U, that makes more sense. 




#233909 Play wii u on tv only

Posted by IvyT on 22 July 2013 - 08:16 AM in Wii U Hardware

I don't think it's possible to play TV only but most games will allow off-TV gameplay, either by selecting the off-TV mode on the settings or just turning off the TV :P




#232239 Pikmin 3 NA commercial!

Posted by IvyT on 16 July 2013 - 11:20 PM in Wii U Games and Software

That ad is so good, now Nintendo of Europe needs to step up too and get an ad running all across Europe too, especially since the game comes out here sooner!




#234145 Pikmin 3 may be getting DLC according to Miyamoto

Posted by IvyT on 23 July 2013 - 07:45 AM in Wii U Games and Software

I'd be willing to pay for these on two conditions: 1) the price and 2) the length of these missions




#232240 Pikmin 3 is apparently selling well in Japan

Posted by IvyT on 16 July 2013 - 11:21 PM in Wii U Games and Software

Great news! Now it just needs to do well in NA and Europe and we're off to a great fall/winter season for the Wii U  :)




#231697 Pikmin 3 Gamestop hands on july 20 and 21st

Posted by IvyT on 15 July 2013 - 06:50 AM in Wii U Games and Software

I just wish Nintendo of Europe made a deal with some major retailers in Europe too, because we're also interested in this and it would be a great way to promote games and the console itself.  :(




#234710 Pikmin 3 download code for £35 at Game

Posted by IvyT on 25 July 2013 - 09:10 AM in Wii U Games and Software

I paid less then that for a physical retail copy online and I rather have that then a digital one that is tied to my console and not my user account.

 

Where did you order yours from, if you don't mind me asking?




#234721 Pikmin 3 download code for £35 at Game

Posted by IvyT on 25 July 2013 - 09:28 AM in Wii U Games and Software

I ordered mine from Shop To for £32.86 but PC World has it for even less at 29.99.

http://www.pcworld.c...pxmxaa&istBid=t

 

Hmm if they ship it to my country I'll maybe order it from here instead of just going to my local store where I'm sure they'll be charging me at least 50€ (~$60)




#230247 Persona 5 Domain name registered by Atlus

Posted by IvyT on 09 July 2013 - 02:16 PM in General Gaming

I get teary eyed at the mention of Shin Megami Tensei... I'd love to see this on the Wii U, I really don't want to have to buy a PS4 to play this but I might just do it.




#229893 Pachter: “Why Would Anybody Buy A Wii U?”

Posted by IvyT on 08 July 2013 - 09:59 AM in Wii U Games and Software

I just bought mine last week and I have no regrets, even though I already own a PS3. It's not really in my plans to get a PS4 now that I have a Wii U. I don't have that many games yet, but the few I have have been the most fun I've had in years, so I'm assuming any third-party game I might want will probably see a PS3 or Wii U version and if it doesn't... well, still have the Wii's entire catalog to play yet AND all the first-party exclusives coming to the Wii U.

 

You can't get experiences like you have on Nintendo's games on the Playstation or the Xbox, but you can have the same bland, overrated experiences you have on the Playstation and the Xbox on the Wii U. 




#232270 Pach-Attack: Did Sony make PS4 too cheap?

Posted by IvyT on 17 July 2013 - 12:06 AM in General Gaming

That makes absolutely no sense. How does a good console with good specs and games having a decent price constitute as a problem? In what world? Honestly. When the PS3 came out, it was too expensive. Now the PS4 is too cheap. This guy is a tool.




#233059 OUYA first month sales

Posted by IvyT on 18 July 2013 - 09:04 PM in General Gaming

Despite the low price, the Ouya is just not compelling enough for me. The gaming experiences it offers I can easily get on my smartphone and/or PC. The rest is up to my gaming consoles.




#230753 Origin of your username

Posted by IvyT on 11 July 2013 - 07:03 AM in The Café

Mine comes from one of my favorite fictional characters, Ivy Tamwood from the Hollows series. It's a pretty good series of books but the main character annoys more than anything, I only read them for Ivy  :P
