#150033 Wii U Pro Controller disapointment, needs a fix!

Posted by Dark Link on 20 December 2012 - 11:39 AM in Wii U Hardware

This thread fails in so many ways.
The prp controller is an add on. And its also not nintendo fault its up to each game dev.
Like zombiu there is no way to use the pro controller, but assassin creed you can easily do it.
Mairo i understand why they didnt. Its because it would throw people off. The wii mote is much simpler to use.

An option to use the Pro Controller wouldn't hurt though. If people get thrown off by the Pro Controller they can just use the Wii Mote and leave the Pro controller for those of us that prefer it.



#150001 Wii U Pro Controller disapointment, needs a fix!

Posted by Dark Link on 20 December 2012 - 10:41 AM in Wii U Hardware

Not all games will be designed for that pro controller as it is technically a secondary peripheral. I am guessing Zelda will not be one of those games either. I understand NSMBU should be compatible with the controller because the game can work perfectly fine without the touch screen. The controller is mostly intended for third party titles and local multiplayer, from my understanding.



#174299 Why are people doubting Wii U now because of PS4?

Posted by Dark Link on 21 February 2013 - 04:01 PM in Wii U Hardware

Not me, as a matter of fact I am buying a Wii U because the PS4 announce was disappointing. Sony has a lot to prove for me to buy one before a slim comes out. If this thing will offer solid jRPGs like Ni no Kuni then I am sold, but I believe the Wii U will be the jRPG console this generation.



#120173 Who was/is dissapointed with the PS3?

Posted by Dark Link on 21 October 2012 - 07:25 PM in General Gaming

No this is certainly not a hate thread.PS1,PS2,DC,GC and Xbox is my favourite time in my gaming life.The first game i played was chuckie egg on an Amstrad CPC-464,and yes,i had a green screen ;)

Im just pointing out some of the mistakes sony have made,and continue to make.

All three companies in the console market are guilty of this. Sony is no different in the grand scheme of things. No console is perfect, and no company that build them is perfect either. They all make mistakes and still continue on with them to the next generation. Nobody in here seems to mention Nintendo's ongoing policy on region lock, which the 3DS is the first handheld platform (unless you count the handful of DSi games in existence) to employ the technology. Nintendo didn't learn from Operation Rainfall, and they are resuming their agenda on locking down on imported titles. Now that online play will become a major feature of the Wii U, don't expect to mod your system without Nintendo banning you from their network. Are you, kind sir, disappointed in the Wii U and Nintendo as well? By your logic, you should be.



#120119 Who was/is dissapointed with the PS3?

Posted by Dark Link on 21 October 2012 - 04:00 PM in General Gaming

People over analyse things these days, Learn to enjoy life seriously. Like all those people going "OMG da Wii U isnt 8 timez quicker than PS3740 etc," or "OHMRG NAWWWW da touch screen on da gamepad isnt a superdooper whooper one"
Enjoy the console for what it is, a games machine, something to play and have fun on.

This.

Anyway my overall experience on the PS3 has been positive. It is a console with a lot of gems that I enjoy playing like 3D Dot Game Heroes, Tales of Graces f, Disgaea 3 & 4, Demon's Souls, the Hyperdimension Neptunia games, the Atelier series, and the White Knight Chronicles series. All I can say it is the system is far from perfect but so is every system on the market. If you want the best of all worlds you buy all systems. Sad but true.



#125197 Who played the wiiu yet

Posted by Dark Link on 06 November 2012 - 07:26 PM in The Café

Saw a demo unit at my local Best Buy but for some reason cannot play a single game on it and only watch trailers. What's the point of this demo if you cannot, you know, play the thing?



#147395 Which game are you playing right now ?

Posted by Dark Link on 12 December 2012 - 09:13 PM in General Gaming

Playing Final Fantasy XIII on PS3. Beat it a few nights ago but still playing it getting the platinum trophy, then moving on to XIII-2. I know this game gets hammered on by many FF fans and didn't like it at first but it grew on me eventually.

#147399 What's the most expensive video game you've ever bought?

Posted by Dark Link on 12 December 2012 - 09:19 PM in General Gaming

I think about 70 for a collector's edition or something, don't remember what games I have purchased that exceeded the 60 dollar price tag. Most of my games are actually 30 and under, even for this generation's consoles. For PC I only buy Steam games when they go on sale (and the sales are usually games worth buying too!) as I paid enough money for a behemoth that is my gaming PC.



#147188 What vehicle do you own / drive?

Posted by Dark Link on 12 December 2012 - 04:56 PM in The Café

I think there is already a thread like this, or at least this seems familiar.



#147227 What vehicle do you own / drive?

Posted by Dark Link on 12 December 2012 - 06:11 PM in The Café

I don't even drive in real life. I ride a black horse and carry a sword & shield with me, just like the medieval times.

#125797 Up or Down How will You Wii U

Posted by Dark Link on 07 November 2012 - 08:11 PM in Wii U Hardware

Unlike my Wii, the Wii U will lay down flat.



#149465 Up or Down How will You Wii U

Posted by Dark Link on 18 December 2012 - 08:45 PM in Wii U Hardware

You know after seeing a Wii U standing vertically it looked cool, particularly the black model. I might stand mine up (when I get one) to save space so it can sit nicely right next to my HDTV.



#125246 THQ's stock drops 50% after earnings implosion, company only worth $...

Posted by Dark Link on 06 November 2012 - 09:00 PM in General Gaming

What a shame. Too bad, THQ is probably one of my favorite publishers if for their better studios like Vigil and Relic but if they keep bleeding stocks like this THQ will certainly be a goner in a few years.



#147261 Theism

Posted by Dark Link on 12 December 2012 - 06:44 PM in The Café

Lots of religion posts lately...I thought this was a gaming site? Lol

I personally am a Roman Catholic, and while I don't follow all the rules, I try my hardest and try to make the best possible relationship with myself and God

Isn't this particular section for anything non-gaming, including religion?

I am atheist and a former Christian but left the fold due to my "faith" falling like a house of cards. I respect religion and the religious but just have no part of it any longer.



#128970 The future of Sony?

Posted by Dark Link on 13 November 2012 - 07:24 PM in General Gaming

Well I am not here to say doom & gloom to the Vita and I give it best wishes to succeed. However the Vita isn't selling to Sony's expectations for a few primary reasons:

Marketing- Sony is marketing this device as a "PS3 in your pocket" which is a very bad decision that spells immediate failure. Less people own a PS3 than a PSP, but Sony is clearly marketing this device to PS3 owners, thus making the Vita a niche within a niche. The same mistake was made with the PSP, a PS2 in your pocket. That didn't go as well as Sony wanted and like the Vita less people own a PSP than a PS2.

Memory Cards- This isn't 1990s anymore. The console games industry have come a long way from the dark ages of selling a console and a memory card SEPARATELY forcing you to buy not only a game but an accessory to really use your console. The PSP even included a 32MB memory stick duo when it first released, why couldn't Sony do the same for the Vita? By this logic you might as well sell your PSVita without a power charger as well. Is there really a major difference?

The games are open for debate. The 3DS had a terrible launch lineup and many agreed the Vita had a better launch lineup, but Nintendo released some heavy system sellers alongside a much needed price drop, something Sony has yet to do.



#149334 So it's odd seeing this many systems jsut sitting on shelves.

Posted by Dark Link on 18 December 2012 - 02:27 PM in Wii U Hardware

Local Best Buy has them in stock, it appears that it wouldn't be so difficult to get one unlike everyone else said...at least here by the Huron shores of Michigan. I am not getting one now though. Waiting for Pikmin 3 and Monster Hunter, possible even holding off further for Zelda or Metroid depending on how the game lineup is performing between these major titles.

#148411 No hdmi cord will work with my wii u

Posted by Dark Link on 15 December 2012 - 08:30 PM in Wii U Hardware Help

Yeah component that is what I meant.



#147236 No hdmi cord will work with my wii u

Posted by Dark Link on 12 December 2012 - 06:19 PM in Wii U Hardware Help

look at it, in a different TV.. if its the same.. turn it back and get a new one from the retailer.. Some wii Us dont play with the hdmi.. thats why

If that is the case there is probably something wrong with the HDMI ports and perhaps there is a bad production run of Wii Us. Sometimes HDMI port failures happen. My 20GB PS3's HDMI port somehow broke but the composite port works like it should, however my 60GB PS3's HDMI has no problem.



#252523 Nintendo Says More Cross-Play Titles Are In The Works

Posted by Dark Link on 21 October 2013 - 01:46 PM in General Gaming

I would love this for BF and CoD. Platform barriers suck.
