#77710 Marvel Avengers: Battle for Earth announced!

Posted by Poliwhirl on 10 May 2012 - 10:37 AM in Wii U Games and Software

I know SEGA didn't really put much effort into the other Marvel action games they made, but I would prefer another mediocre SEGA game over this. But hey, atleast we can thank Ubisoft for the maximum support for the Wii U.

#77150 Sony All Star Fighting game, Rip off of SSM?

Posted by Poliwhirl on 05 May 2012 - 09:37 PM in General Gaming

I've played games from all of those series, and never really found any major difference. Hell, when they make game likes Streetfighter X Tekken, its pretty obvious the gameplay is quite similar.
Not to say that I hate any of those series. I'm perfectly happy with all of them, especially StreetFighter.

Actually, many Tekken fans dislike Street Fighter x Tekken, because it plays nothing like the Tekken series. The only core gameplay mechanic from Tekken that made it into SFxT is juggles. Other than that, SFxT plays too similar to Super Street Fighter IV, except a little more agressive/fast paced. Street Fighter, and Tekken crossing over is exciting, because those are two fighting games that play completely different from each other, so everyone was hyped to see how the game would play. Capcom's version played too much like SSFIV, and Namco's version would most likely play like Tekken games (with a few SF elements added to it, I believe Harada said he was going to add an ultra meter to the SF characters).

Looks like I'll have to do a lot of extra schoolwork on June 4th. It's times like these that I love being homeschooled.

Nice.

It's also times like these I'm glad I'm self employed. Being my own boss means I can give myself the day off.

#76445 Sony All Star Fighting game, Rip off of SSM?

On a side note, I personally think Street Fight, Tekken, MK, etc are all basically the same game with minor differences that distinguish them.

I hope you're kidding.

#73741 GTTV Promises "Huge Exclusives That Haven't Been Announced Yet" O...

Posted by Poliwhirl on 22 April 2012 - 09:20 AM in General Gaming

Being revealed on GTTV might imply that it's a game aimed towards the western audience. Title Fight is speculated to be revealed that day.

#73381 God of War: Ascension

Posted by Poliwhirl on 20 April 2012 - 01:38 PM in General Gaming

Beating up a bunch of enemies together will be awesome!!

Sex mini game co op will be soooooooooooooo awkward!!

#64267 Rainbow 6 Patriots coming to Wii U

Posted by Poliwhirl on 01 March 2012 - 04:37 PM in Wii U Games and Software

Ghost Recon, Killer Freaks from outer space, and now Rainbow Six.... Lol.

Anyway, nice to see some more games coming out for Wii U. Ubisoft is really being supportive here.

Wii Ubisoft lol.

#63257 Are Video Games becoming too real?

Posted by Poliwhirl on 24 February 2012 - 01:35 AM in General Gaming

This reminds me of The Last of Us coming out for PS3.

Kind of tired right now, but if I remember correctly, I read that the protagonist in that game will die right away if one bullet gets shot at him. The protagonist will be able to use local items as weapons against the enemies, and your weapons will break over time the more you use them. That's just too real, but it does sound like some interesting (and I guess frustrating, still depends how it will be handled) type of gameplay.

Don't know if there's a proper way to make the image look the way I want it to look (Kyo, and Iori's heads are cut off from the top lol). I wish I could have their full heads visible, and I've been doing lots of editing on paint to adjust it as a desktop wallpaper, but it's so complicated (and frustrating).

#62302 What Consoles do you have?

Posted by Poliwhirl on 18 February 2012 - 01:13 PM in General Gaming

Namco thingy

o_O

Namco had a home console?

#62301 Well, this is awkward...

Posted by Poliwhirl on 18 February 2012 - 01:10 PM in Roleplay and Forum Games

I remember once at a store, I thought I saw someone I knew standing in front of me. I called out her name in excitement, and as she turned around, it turned out to be someone else.

#62100 -

Posted by Poliwhirl on 17 February 2012 - 12:11 PM in General Gaming

I hope you guys get a lot of great games, and for adult Australian gamers to stop being treated like children by being told what to play, and what not to play. I've been following the release for Mortal Kombat 9 last year, and I heard about the game being banned in Australia. Warner Bros re-sent it for another appeal, but it was rejected again. A lot of Australian adult gamers were outraged, and let their frustrations out. I think MK9's banning is the main reason why Australia might be considering an R18+ rating. I'm surprised how some games still make it over there though, like God of War.

As for the media thinking adult gamers don't want R18+, I'm not sure why (especially because I've seen on MK forums how Australian adult gamers complaining about wanting a higher rating system, because they don't want to miss out on great games), this is the first I'm hearing of this.

They should focus less on graphics, and put more effort on gameplay imo. I had way more fun with Castle Crashers, and Scott Piglrim than I did with Zombie Apocalypse.

#61963 The wii

Posted by Poliwhirl on 16 February 2012 - 11:07 AM in General Gaming

My thoughts on the Wii can surmised by this statement: The Wii will be the next Dreamcast. Not in the last hurrah sense,(the wii u proves that) but in the retro collector's sense.

While it is one of the most best selling consoles of all time, there are a ton of games that were just passed by. I believe that in the future that retro collectors will be hunting down all the games that they missed, and when they look back, they see that it really was a good system, but was bogged down by so much shovelware that they just couldn't get themselves to find that diamond in the rough.

I've been thinking the same thing about the Dreamcast comparison.

Although with the Wii U being backwards compatible, I'm positive that a lot of Wii bashers would buy a few Wii games they missed out on. I've seen many people complaining when the Wii gets a good third party game as an exclusive (Tatsunoko vs Capcom, Goldeneye 007, Dragon Quest X, etc). If they end up getting a Wii U for whatever reason, I'm sure they'll dig into the Wii's library.

#61953 Developers dropping Vita project for 3Ds?

Posted by Poliwhirl on 16 February 2012 - 10:21 AM in General Gaming

Don't know if this is true, but I honestly wouldn't be surprised if it is. The Vita can supposedly handle games that look like PS3/360 games, but I don't see a reason why a bunch of 3rd party companies would want to develop games exclusively for the Vita. Making games for PS3, and 360 makes sense, since they can make a really nice profit, and adding a Vita version also is understandable if it adds to it significantly. But an exclusive high quality Vita game from a third party developer? I don't see that happening too often. Exclusives are what sell systems, and I don't think 3rd party developers would risk making an exclusive game for the Vita, when the userbase is extremely small. Especially when whatever Vita exclusive game they have planned, could easily be done on PS3, and 360, and make a better profit from it.

Sorry, they don't look beautiful. The game's graphics look like they're being made for the PS2.

It's a downloadable title.

Is this for real, or fake?

Not really sure, but some websites (like Kotaku I think) have reported it, and it's apparently a leak. Though Terrabyte might be right on that it's just licensed to play old NeoGeo games.

#60623 Rumor - Epic Mickey 2 coming to Wii U

Posted by Poliwhirl on 09 February 2012 - 11:14 AM in Wii U Games and Software

Apparently this game is multiplatform. So since it's obvious that it would be for PS3, and 360 since it's announcement, the "Wii U support" might imply that it's also going to support the Wii U, along with the consoles that were going to "support" Epic Mickey 2 from the start (PS3, and 360).

#60530 Activision Support

Posted by Poliwhirl on 08 February 2012 - 07:11 PM in Wii U Games and Software

I heard that there is a Skylanders sequel being considered to release on the Wii U, so there's one game that Activision might have planned for the Wii U. Of course, it's multiplatform, but this is still good news (apparently the Wii version of the original Skylanders sold the most compared to the other consoles).

Apparently this is leaked, and it's licensed by SNK Playmore. My avatar, and sig makes it obvious that I'm a fan of SNK games, so I'm excited for this. According to some gaming websites that covered this leak, it will contain 20 free NeoGeo games from the start.
