#294404 Wii U Price Discussion

Posted by genev on 29 July 2014 - 04:41 AM in Wii U Hardware

In Greece launch price for the deluxe bundle was 400 € (537$) which was pretty expensive, but now there are many nice bundles in reasonable prices; like triple fun pack, which has NSMBU,NSLU and nintendoland for 320€(430$) and one that has the triple fun pack+mk8 and a mario kart 8 red wheel for 350€(470$). The prices are very competitive if you take into consideration that a 500gb ps4 here costs about 410€(550$). I'm so happy that I see people buying wii u lol :D

#297438 New ninty 3ds and 3ds xl

Posted by genev on 29 August 2014 - 01:29 PM in General Gaming

Really glad I never bought an xl right now... Actually, I think I will just stick with the 3ds size screen. Dont like giganto pixels.... 3ds looks jaggy enough as is.

Also stoked at the no screen scratch when closed fix. (Right Nintendo? the NO SCREEN SCRATCH FIX... RIGHT????)


Oh, it says 16000 yen, so that would be what? 150 bucks?

It's not going to be 150$ (114€), no way




#297354 New ninty 3ds and 3ds xl

Posted by genev on 29 August 2014 - 05:03 AM in General Gaming

I hope they wont make the old 3ds obsolete because Ive just bought a new xl. I'm also glad I have xenoblade in wii.



#297412 New ninty 3ds and 3ds xl

Posted by genev on 29 August 2014 - 10:46 AM in General Gaming

I need this now!! Those ABXY colored buttons sold me. Plus better resolution, 3D angle and built in C-stick. Nintendo is going to have my wallet on lock for a very long time with all the things coming out.


When did they say it'll have a better resolution?



#297356 New ninty 3ds and 3ds xl

Posted by genev on 29 August 2014 - 05:04 AM in General Gaming

I dunno didn't the xl come out roughly the same time in all regions, like a month after a direct?


They said that they'll come out in 2015 for na and Europe region



#297440 New ninty 3ds and 3ds xl

Posted by genev on 29 August 2014 - 01:34 PM in General Gaming

So far I have resisted upgrading my broken launch 3DS.

I can no longer resist.

Anyone know if it will be possible to transfer games you already own?

 

Also it's possible Nintendo will try to give some sort of compensation for those who just bought a 3DS. I mean they did it for the price drop, so it could happen for this which is even bigger, right?

I think your statement is contradictory. Until they unify the accounts, how will you be able to transfer your old data to the new one without having to buy it? Thus eliminating the possibility to trade the old for a price cut in the new one.




#297567 New ninty 3ds and 3ds xl

Posted by genev on 30 August 2014 - 03:35 AM in General Gaming

Think that's how every company does it. At least in gaming. But that's just what I've heard from the people I know in Britain.

 

Eh I'll just keep mine then. Killed me to trade in my DS lite for my 3DS anyway.

Starting price for 3ds xl was 18,900 yen,199.99$ and 230€. If they follow the same tactic the new 3ds xl will be 230€ in the eurozone countries, which is a lot of money.




#297444 New ninty 3ds and 3ds xl

Posted by genev on 29 August 2014 - 01:48 PM in General Gaming

This is how nintendos bizarre pricing works. US gets the direct yen conversion cost, then eu gets the same NUMBER, but in euro...

So, 150 euro.

I hope so.



Woah wait what (lol accidental alliteration (x2))?

I was just asking if the unification of accounts is possible yet, since I've fallen behind in 3DS news. The compensation thing was whole other thing I was talking about.

No they're still kinda tied to the console, so you have to trade the old one and lose your downloads if they'll have the compensation thing.




#297431 New ninty 3ds and 3ds xl

i am really confused  is this supposed to be the succsessor or an upgrade???

It must be an upgrade like dsi. The only difference is dsi didn't get aaa exclusives like xenoblade.




#294292 The official "What games should I get?" Thread

Posted by genev on 27 July 2014 - 12:51 PM in Wii U Games and Software

Is Wonderful 101 worth buying? I have heard both negative and positive things about the game and I'm a bit confused. How is the gameplay ?The controls? Is it an overall fulfilling experience?



#294351 The official "What games should I get?" Thread

Posted by genev on 28 July 2014 - 02:36 AM in Wii U Games and Software

I can sum this up in one word: Amazing. I don't know if you played the demo but the full version is quite different. The story is great, funny and interesting, usage of the gamepad is different and really acts like an extra pair of eyes aswell as an method for inputting the unite morphs. I was on the fence after demo but got it as a free game, playing on normal is actually challenging. It has it's minor flaws, weird camera angles and sometimes unresponsive too certain commands it's easily worth the price, espaiclly since it already is lower than say 3D world and the likes.

I haven't played the demo but I'm going to. Thnx :)




#294257 If you were in charge on Nintendo...

Posted by genev on 27 July 2014 - 12:07 AM in Wii U Hardware

Gamepad is just fine. Most wii u owners love it. We don't want the same console just with better hardware, we want a different console and wii u is different. 8th gen should be about innovation, not about graphics,power etc. If somebody wants excellent graphics, he'll play on his pc not on xbox1/ps4/wii u.




#294482 If you were in charge on Nintendo...

Posted by genev on 30 July 2014 - 02:13 AM in Wii U Hardware

I think wii u's problem is probably the wii. Despite being extremely successful, the majority of people who bought the wii weren't gamers; they were just mothers,grandmothers and people who hated gaming,but liked wii bowling. Now that the 7th generation is over these people are not even aware of the existence of the wii u or think that is just an add on and they probably won't buy it. Another problem is that because this was the majority, mature games like mad world didn't sell, so 3rd party companies said that we aren't making any other of those games for the wii. If people had supported 3rd parties during last generation, maybe their attitude toward wii u would be different now and maybe the wii u would sell more. And even now that we have some ports like AC:IV or exclusives like zombi u , which are great games, we still don't support them.




#294093 If you were in charge on Nintendo...

Posted by genev on 24 July 2014 - 04:30 AM in Wii U Hardware

If I were in charge of Nintendo:

 

1) I would localise japanese titles.

2) Cut the prices; 60€ (80$) is too expensive for a game.

3) Make Club Nintendo and prepaid cards available to all the countries that have an eshop.

4) Make HD remakes of Nintendo's most popular titles.

5)Make Wii U more powerful so it can play next gen titles.

6) Make all the consoles and games region free.

7) Make polls about which sequels people would like to play

    and foremost listen to my fans!!!!!




#295443 A 9-year old boy married a 62 year old woman

Posted by genev on 10 August 2014 - 05:26 AM in The Café

Definitely not the most important issue but it was the issue we are discussing. I agree that those issues you mentioned are much more important but they're even harder to change than simply letting people of the same gender get married. Gay marriage laws are changing in places around the world because it's much easier to change than solving poverty in third world countries, as much as we would all like to do it it's just not that simple. For the other examples regarding women's rights in some countries that is also harder to change because of it being instilled in their tradition and religion. People in the Western world opposing gay marriage is also somewhat of a religious issue for some but  with no state religion it isn't something that is enforced as strongly as it would be if it were.

 

Just to reiterate, I agree that gay marriage isn't as big an issue as those other issues you mentioned.

 

I don't think you're homophobic, nothing wrong with your opinion. Sorry if I have been discussing with an attitude or something, today I've been kind of up and down so I didn't mean to be aggressive in discussing with you.

Don't worry is just a little difficult for me to understand the ''feeling'' of the message, because I don't get to practise my English a lot and I get confused some times :)

But you have to understand it's very difficult for some people even if they are forward thinking to beagainst or be in favor of gay marriage, because things as religion and personal beliefs intervene.




#295321 A 9-year old boy married a 62 year old woman

Posted by genev on 08 August 2014 - 10:10 AM in The Café

wha? drama? I was saying that this can happen, pets can get married, and people can marry inanimate objects like pillows and game characters but gays still can't in most places. its stupid is all.

I don't know where you live, but in the majority of the countries no pet marriage or a marriage to a game character can be official. So your argument isn't valid.




#295403 A 9-year old boy married a 62 year old woman

Posted by genev on 09 August 2014 - 08:48 AM in The Café

This happened to me few years ago. Barnes and Noble. I was super prepped for the interview and even got there early. Well someone shceduled at the same time of my interview an interview with someone else. A cute girl. That's when I looked around and saw they were all cute girls working there. I knew right then. Gets better tho I am sitting waiting despite I got there early and then she comes in disorganized and late and they decide to interview her first. When it was my turn I knew I lost the job before I walked in the door. I did the interview but yea. yes I did see here working there some months later.

That's very unfair. These people should be ashamed of themselves.




#295437 A 9-year old boy married a 62 year old woman

Posted by genev on 10 August 2014 - 12:18 AM in The Café

Where were these people being hired at?

 

Rights are acceptance on a larger scale. If gay people had equal rights then they would become more accepted in the long run. We're moving towards giving them equal rights anyway so their acceptance in Western society is increasing.

Personal experience in this issue isn't really relevant. Your experience is very limited in the grand scope of things, clearly the discrimination of gay people is a greater issue than someone not getting a job because of their appearance. If you're qualified enough you should get the job and if they choose their workers by another criteria then that is their decision, that is discrimination on a small scale and not discrimination against an entire group of people. Most decent people would hire the person that is right for the job not based on their appearance alone.

 

Homosexuality and being overweight aren't exactly comparable. One you're born with and the other, unless a genetic condition, you are not. More often than not weight issues are the result of one's lifestyle. You think people with unhealthy lifestyles should be more accepted than people with a sexual orientation that they had no choice over?

 

I guess you're right though, fat people should be able to get married too.

 

 

I live in Greece, so even if I mentioned the companies you wouldn't know. Also, I don't know what happens in Australia but here I have never seen anyone pointing a finger and calling bad names a gay person, but all the time I see people pointing at overweight people calling them fat cows, how you get out like these in the streets and more. I have gay friends and they never experienced any kind of discrimination or being ridiculed by classmates or generally people. But I have also overweight friends who were being bullied all their school life and they had reached a point of depression. If Australia discriminates gay people it's an issue of your country and not mine. Regarding gay marriage at least as long as I will live I think it will never be allowed in Greece, not because of the people but because the church has great influence in such decisions. Also, nobody has proved that you're born with heterosexuality,homosexuality, bisexuality etc.




#295441 A 9-year old boy married a 62 year old woman

Posted by genev on 10 August 2014 - 04:41 AM in The Café

Oh alright. Great.

Thanks for contributing to the discussion.

 

Next time don't laugh at what I say if you're not even going to discuss a topic. Jesus Christ.

 

 

Well even if you don't tell me the companies, how do you know these people weren't hired because of their appearance and what kind of a job was it?

 

I'm seeing a lot of "it's an issue in your country and not mine" and then "but we wont allow them to get married". Okay no problem, you don't experience discrimination of that kind so you feel you can ignore the right that they are being refused. Personally you don't experience it but it is out there, there's no denying that.

 

People are bullied for a range of reasons and it'll vary from person to person and place to place. You can't really say one reason for bullying is worse than the other just based on personal experience, so without statistics I think we can just agree to disagree on that one. I'll agree that overweight people aren't accepted in some ways and are often ridiculed for their weight, can't deny that.

First, about the tall people I don't know about men but I'm almost 6.2 and I have (girl)friends who are 6.3-6.4 and we all have felt discrimination, I don't care about it now but back in school it really sadened me. Honestly, I know what I'm going to say it's controversial but you believe the most important issue about human rights that the world has to solve is gay marriage? I don't. I will when all these children in 3rd world countries will stop working and have a normal life, when women in some parts of the world will stop being treated like property and will be able to get education, choose their own husbands, work and not been flogged publicly for driving. I don't say that gay people shouldn't get married or fight for that right  but they are far more significant issues that have to be dealt with first. And really do you believe that gay people are so weak and discriminated? Do you know how much power they have about specific issues??? They are a very strong community and I don't think that their biggest concern is their marriage, except for the activists group of course.

 

P.S I'm not homophobic, I just express my opinion



I'm a Christian. I think gay marriage will eventually be legal in every country. Being part of the church i becoming increasingly taboo and seen as "old school", "backwards thinking", whereas supporting gay acts is becoming increasingly cool and seen as "forward thinking". Also if the final book of the Bible basically says that eventually almost no one will be following Christian law. It's really just  matter of how long it takes to get there.

I don't know about your denomination, but the Orthodox church will never accept it.
