#145124 ZombiU control scheme

Posted by PedanticGamer on 07 December 2012 - 02:26 PM in Wii U Games and Software

The OP plays Black Ops 2 based on his sig with only one hand. Mind blown. How on earth do you do that?

#145123 Zombi U Reviews

Posted by PedanticGamer on 07 December 2012 - 02:24 PM in Wii U Game Reviews

Op, you seriously gave this game a 9.5/10 for graphics? I now such numbers are arbitrary in nature, but this game has terrible textures and character models are well below par. In fact it falls behind ps3 launch games like Resistance in many areas from a visual perspective. Great game so far, but disappointing visuals.

#145122 Resident Evil 6: Final Hope, may be coming to the Wii U

Posted by PedanticGamer on 07 December 2012 - 02:21 PM in Wii U Games and Software

I really enjoyed RE6. I will likely pick it up on pc when it is released there as well. Doubt the wiiU can offer the upgrade the pc release likely will.

#145121 Mass Effect 3

I will say even if this is a bad port, if it is the only way you can play ME3 then get it. It is well worth you time and money.

#145116 Face-Off: Trine 2 on Wii U

Posted by PedanticGamer on 07 December 2012 - 02:09 PM in Wii U Games and Software

Not sure about on the wiiU (as it is still coming to Australia). But on pc it is 2.9gb. Expect it to be smaller then that though on wiiU.

I don't get it - all the bad stuff people were saying about it before launch..like the bad frames and all that jazz...the game sounds and plays fine..I think its the best version yet.

Sorry the PC version is notably better.

#145111 Your favorite video game character?

Posted by PedanticGamer on 07 December 2012 - 02:04 PM in General Gaming

Letho from the Witcher 2. At first seems generic but as you learn more about him throughout the game that makes a dramatic turn for the better. One of the most complex 'villains' in any medium.

#145104 E3 Rumors.

Posted by PedanticGamer on 07 December 2012 - 01:59 PM in General Gaming

Rage 2 is not happening at the moment. ID are working entirely on Doom 4, this has been confirmed and stated several times. If Rage 2 happens, it will be after Doom 4 is released. I would however expect Doom 4 to have a showing, unless it is way behind schedule in which case it will be shown of at Quake Con (we will have a Doom 4 within a decade after Doom 3 ID has said). EA has also made statements that means Mirrors Edge 2 is not on it way anytime soon.

I also doubt Nintendo will announce a Mario, Zelda and Metroid game, at least not all for one system (maybe for both the 3ds and wiiU combined, but even then I find that doubtful).

if Bethesda cames out with a anew rage I'm gonna hurt them, it was a awful game when compared to Elder Scrolls and Fallout.

Rage was an fps, not an rpg. So why the comparisons? Also it isn't made by bethesda, it is only published by Bethesda. In all honesty though, you haven't truly experienced Rage until you have played it on pc on the hardest difficulty mode (I have also finished it on console and it just isn't the same).

Sounds about right.
The NFS idk the last one just came out. Other then that all seems right.
I wish some more wii u games where coming out tho.

A new NFS has been released every year for around 14 years. I wouldn't expect that to change any time soon.

#145103 The Last Story

Posted by PedanticGamer on 07 December 2012 - 01:46 PM in General Gaming

..............
It is an RPG (Sort of action RPG) it is suppose to be a more story driven title. Next who said anything about all games and genres should explain a story? (I sure didn't) On to of that how can you compare a RPG to shooter or sports game? Shooters usually have no story to tell and if it does there not grand anyway (The mindset is to just shoot things & not think to much) & sports games are not suppose to have a story to begin with. (The idea of these games are not to have a story. This way the player can sort of manage a team to their liking and change history per se. I doubt many people would play these games if they had to play a losing game).

I agree with what you are getting at, but there are many shooters that have excellent stories.

I so wish this was remade on the wiiU and playable in 1080p.

#145098 How powerful is the PlayStation Vita?

Posted by PedanticGamer on 07 December 2012 - 01:31 PM in General Gaming

Yeah they really did blow that one. The thing is as soon as we heard Nihilistic got that project the writing was on the wall for that game. i know it wasn't Sony's responsibility to oversee that project since it was an Activision game, but given the boost that it could have given the Vita, I blame them for not being more involved to make sure it went well. When the Vita came out people were excited about the prospect of FPS' on the go, and now all that hope falls on Killzone.

To be fair that means they have put all the hope of the fps on vita on Guerrilla Games and Cambridge Studios. Not a bad move in my eyes. If they can pull a Killzone 2 quality game, or even Killzone 3 (especially visually) it could really help sales. I still think it needs a Monster Hunter or similar for Japan to care.

#144932 Is Playstation all-stars a Smash Bros. beater?

Posted by PedanticGamer on 07 December 2012 - 06:08 AM in General Gaming

NOTHING can beat smash bros. I mean come on..... but to be honest i Played A TON of smash bros and only watched a few videos on All-stars so my opinion may not be worth much but through out my experiences I'm going to have to say that smash bros is better

I think the OP needs to understand neither is better as whilst Playstation All Stars Battle Royale is iterative, it ultimately plays very differently despite on the surface looking extremely similar.

I do wonder how much all the people who flat out said no in this thread have playes PASBR for any extended period of time. I'm guessing not all the many.

#144930 What is your favorite gaming system?

PC, there really is no competition.

I'm glad your happy, but lol at the idea that wiiverse is more mature.

#144927 Wii U Mass Effect 3 DLC's

Posted by PedanticGamer on 07 December 2012 - 05:57 AM in Wii U Games and Software

yes it is true on the Bioware website there are other dlcs.
To me Boiware giving away 7 free dlcs,
is plenty of free giveaways, probably too much.

After the ending we initially got, Bioware can't do enough to make up for that travesty.

I still have a few games to play, but so far it would likely go to:

Games just behind it: Mass Effect 3, Journey, Far Cry 3 (yet to finish but from the 30 hours I've played it is likely going to be here).

#144892 How powerful is the PlayStation Vita?

Posted by PedanticGamer on 07 December 2012 - 02:40 AM in General Gaming

LittleBig Planer, Gravity Rush, Persona 4 Gold, Uncharted GA and the list goes on. Vita is a very underrated console atm and will be as to the 3ds as the psp was to the ds. Meaning it will do well but it will not sell anywhere near as well. Only imho of course.

Powerwise it is disappointing and much like the wiiu is not as powerful as it was originally hinted to be. Hwoever it is small and excellent if you travel semi-regularly. I just can't see any non nintendo hand held doing extremely well in a world with ipads etc.

If you don't want to be talked out of leaving then I don't think you would have posted.

#144888 ZombieU or Black Ops 2?

Posted by PedanticGamer on 07 December 2012 - 02:29 AM in Wii U Games and Software

Probably psvitaforum.com or 3dsforumscom

#144873 ZombieU or Black Ops 2?

Posted by PedanticGamer on 07 December 2012 - 12:19 AM in Wii U Games and Software

Cheers xavi was a bit worried the campaign was as short as the first?

The Black Ops 2 campaign is shorter then the Black Ops 1 campaign. There however are multiple endings and thus arguably more replay value (I don't think there is though as a result of how it is handled).

If you want a tense single player experience ZombiU is the better choice from what I have played. If you want multiplayer/coop action that is fast paced then Black Ops 2 obviously wins, although it isn't for everyone.

I will also add ZombiU apparently only lasts around 10 hours and then there are different difficulty modes and a local multiplayer mode and thus could be seen to lack content. Black Ops 2 has a short campaign, but will no doubt have you spending more time with it in the mp and coop modes. Also, I know you didn't ask, but from what I have played of AC3 on pc, it is well worth checking out.

edit: I know the OP already had decided but thought I would leave my thoughts for other people who may be in a similar position.

#144872 Game releases

Posted by PedanticGamer on 07 December 2012 - 12:14 AM in Wii U Games and Software

I actually agree with alot of what the op has said. But to complain about a lack of games seems a bit silly as we have known for a while what the release schedule was. The only reall issue atm is the long load times and freezing issues. The issue in the long run could be a lack of power and third party support (like what happened to the wii).
