#271524 Watch dogs wii u delayed

Posted by Happy Monk on 10 February 2014 - 11:04 AM in Wii U Games and Software

Ditto. If they do then Ubi goes on my bottem well carp list. They are already in my naughty list and I would really like to support child of light.

If you want Child of Light, buy it. People not buying games because of annoyance that games don't come out, get delayed etc... are missing the point. If you stop buying their games, they will stop making their games for the console you own. You need to show support by purchasing their games, all you do when refusing to buy a game based on the company that made it is proving their point.

 

Also: Child of Light looks great!




#271519 Watch dogs wii u delayed

Posted by Happy Monk on 10 February 2014 - 10:56 AM in Wii U Games and Software

Why would a delay make you cancel pre-orders? People deciding that they will not buy a game because of a delay or because of "ethical" reasons are feeding the company's distrust. If you don't buy their games, they won't make more. The smartest move is to show support, I mean, a delay is a delay, if it means we get a better game as a result do a few months really matter?

 

This is why I still plan on buying the game for my Wii U, also because it looks interesting.




#271535 Watch dogs wii u delayed

Posted by Happy Monk on 10 February 2014 - 12:07 PM in Wii U Games and Software

I thought you did that 2 years ago.

You think we're getting a better game.
We're getting a game they can claim as a separate SKU to delay DLC until the desire for it is exactly 0.
They want excuses not to invest in the platform.

I'm not saying we'll get a better game than the other platforms, I'm saying the version we get will be better with the delay than it would be without.

I couldn't care less about DLC (other than batman, grrr).

I dunno about excuses not to invest in the platform, haven't people been giving them reasons already? If anything, this shows Ubisoft is still willing to put a game out on the Wii U, even if it means a delay - which is more than we can say with many other publishers.




#271551 Watch dogs wii u delayed

Posted by Happy Monk on 10 February 2014 - 02:51 PM in Wii U Games and Software

People are not missing the point and your approach to this is not how I as a consumer look at things.  Missing a launch date is one thing, but perpetually missing dates indicates lack of true support.  I'm a consumer, not a sheep.  Take what you can get is not something I do.

No, what I'm saying is that people decide not to buy the game if it's delayed, will prove the point that nobody wants the games on the system. Then people complain that the games aren't coming while it is them not buying them in the first place. The fact that it's got delayed shouldn't make you stop buying it, it just means you have to wait a little longer.

I'm still getting it. Unless they cancel it later...




#236046 Pikmin 3, Does it do anything superior to ps360?

Posted by Happy Monk on 30 July 2013 - 04:27 PM in Wii U Games and Software

Pikmin 3 looks fantastic, I may play it someday (it's in my bedroom, but it's my brother's copy of the game).

But I know what will happen, I never really got into Pikmin on the Gamecube, so I doubt I will now.

Damn my predictability.




#273327 Wii U Still out-selling current-gen competition.

Posted by Happy Monk on 18 February 2014 - 03:00 PM in Wii U News

The PS4 is not so far behind the Wii U's lifetime sales, and it has not come out in Japan yet. It's only been out for a few months and has already sold over 5 million - PS4 will win in terms of sales this generation that's for sure.

Sums it up nicely.

#233122 Are Devs "Lazy" Or Is The Wii U Difficult To Develop For?

Posted by Happy Monk on 19 July 2013 - 05:09 AM in Wii U Hardware

this year is going to tell us all we need to know. watchdogs, splinter cell, ac4, cod:ghost, if they fail to run better on Wii U than 360 than its fair to say whether its more capable or not developers dont care and its not worth it to them. at this point i dont care(outside of nba2k14) just give me bayo2, mk8, x, and other goodies im sure they have planned for next year. its confirmed now(as it should have been years ago) dont buy a DAMN nintendo console for 3rd party support.

The Wii U versions will not run better than the previous gen versions. Not because it can't outperform them, but because Ubisoft and Activision will put out cheap, quick ports that do not need to sell many copies to make money. I will be very surprised if they do run better at all.

Am I the only one who doesn't understand?

Ha. I told you all. Don't get your hopes up I said, screw you you said. I'm happy at least. And I guess that's all that matters.




#205697 Update speed boost to cpu &gpu utter rubbish?

Posted by Happy Monk on 10 May 2013 - 05:16 AM in Wii U Hardware

Pretty sure it'd be possible but it would increase heat and power consumption, most likely.

Yeah, like I said, this rumour is utter arse.




#205694 Update speed boost to cpu &gpu utter rubbish?

Posted by Happy Monk on 10 May 2013 - 05:07 AM in Wii U Hardware

Is it not possible to overclock core speeds with an update? I'd assume you could.

The numbers on display however are far too high. Surely it would be possible to take the CPU speeds up to say, 2.0 GHZ and the GPU to 600 MHZ.

I'm not suggesting this rumour is true (it's clearly not), I'm just saying would it not be possible, just to a lesser extent?




#276231 Why Watch Dogs Shouls Be on your Must Have

Posted by Happy Monk on 07 March 2014 - 03:29 PM in Wii U Games and Software

I'm getting the game on Wii U - depending on reviews.




#256727 If 3D World fails to boost sales, I'm going to start to worry...

Posted by Happy Monk on 17 November 2013 - 04:07 PM in Wii U Games and Software

The Wii U will sell more this Christmas, and be pushed further when Donkey Kong comes out early next year, with Mario kart 8 and Smash Bros hopefully not too far behind. The sales of the Wii U almost doubled worldwide (still bad numbers, but better is better) after the release of Wind Waker HD and Pikmin 3. But people do not buy games consoles to the same extent in the summer or early autumn as they do for Christmas.

 

If Nintendo play their cards right, this Christmas could act as a kind of second launch for the system and its games.

 

But do not expect a huge amount sold. I'm guessing that it will go up to hopefully around five million. Which could be built on.




#243210 PS4/XB1 launch lineup is "Meh" -Reggie Fils-Aime

Posted by Happy Monk on 31 August 2013 - 04:05 AM in General Gaming

I completely agree with Reggie, the only games that appeal to me on the Xbox One and PS4 are also gonna be on the Wii U: Assassin's Creed IV and Watch_Dogs.

 

And am I the only one who thinks the Wii U launch games were actually very good? I own 14 games on the Wii U (shared with my brother), have had it since Christmas and have never not had anything to play.




#224562 Lack of DirectX 11 support blocking Kingdom Hearts III from Wii U

Posted by Happy Monk on 20 June 2013 - 08:42 AM in Wii U Games and Software

I don't get it, it's Kingdom Hearts, what's the problem?

 

Jokes.

 

Square Enix have been iffy for a little while, not announcing whether or not Dragon Quest X will come outside of Japan and their endless insistence on IOS and Android ports baffle me.

But yeah, the Wii U can easily run Kingdom Hearts 3, just like any other game I saw at E3.




#256733 If 3D World fails to boost sales, I'm going to start to worry...

Posted by Happy Monk on 17 November 2013 - 04:15 PM in Wii U Games and Software

Didn't Nintendo just recently drop the price of the Wii U?  They could of released Mario Kart 8 early and added on stuff to it (DLC, more tracks, characters, etc) later on. Nintendo has done an absolute dreadful job of creating hype for this console and it's been out for a year. They focused on the 3DS too much when the 3DS had already picked up from its slow start, now its coming to bite them in the ass. They had an entire year to prepare themselves for the launch of the PS4/XBone. 

Nintendo haven't gone into direct competition with the other companies since the Gamecube really. Nintendo have done a terrible job at advertising. If the Wii U gets a large advertising campaign (or anything), sales will pick up. The Wii U is not destined for Wii success, but I think it will outsell the Gamecube.

 

If one looks at the 3DS again, it wasn't until Christmas (when Mario and Kart came out) that the sales picked up considerably. But it is since then that it has become THE thing to own.




#279686 Mario Kart 8 Devs Praise Wii U Power - Show Off Visual Stunner

Posted by Happy Monk on 03 April 2014 - 10:37 AM in Wii U Games and Software

In all honesty, Mario Kart 8 is the nicest-looking game I have ever seen. I just can't get over it.




#207665 Nintendo Direct 5/17 4PM CEST, 7AM PST, focus on Wii U/3DS Spring/Summer Titles

Posted by Happy Monk on 16 May 2013 - 07:00 AM in Wii U Games and Software

The European one is just for the Wii U. and focusses on games coming out soon. We have a second one during E3 focussing on Wii U titles coming at the end of the year.

Officially excited.




#207647 Nintendo Direct 5/17 4PM CEST, 7AM PST, focus on Wii U/3DS Spring/Summer Titles

Posted by Happy Monk on 16 May 2013 - 05:55 AM in Wii U Games and Software

Meh. Some of the things he said are going to be true. Mario and Mario Kart will both be playable, we know this already. Chances are, they will show more of Yoshi on the Wii U. But everything else he says is fan pandering...

 

That said, it's a good list of predictions and I'm surprised it doesn't mention Super Smash Bros. Nintendo already said we will see that for the first time there.




#207912 Nintendo Direct 5/17 4PM CEST, 7AM PST, focus on Wii U/3DS Spring/Summer Titles

Posted by Happy Monk on 17 May 2013 - 02:52 AM in Wii U Games and Software

He mentioned on IGN boards 2 weeks ago that they were making the trailer for Smash Bros and 3D Mario.

The thing is, we already know they are going to show both of those games. Nintendo told us, directly.




#257410 Fast Racing Neo uses “4-8k Textures”, to Produce “Hyper real Graphics”, says Shi

Posted by Happy Monk on 22 November 2013 - 05:50 AM in Wii U Games and Software

Hopefully the game can stand up to it's visuals. Shin'en know how to craft nice-looking games, but their level-design know-how and general game-play concerns seem less well developed. I'm not saying their games are bad (all three I've played are good) but they aren't the best. Nano Assault Neo would've been fantastic if it were longer though.

 

I am intrigued to at least see this new game though.




#222661 Metroid or Donkey Kong Country Was a Hard Decision- Retro

Posted by Happy Monk on 16 June 2013 - 08:47 AM in Wii U Games and Software

I think they made the wrong choice.
