Thanksgiving embarrassment

Got back into CoD, this time the Pro Controller worked fine. A few minutes in, EEEEEEEEEEEEEE game froze. Couldn't do anything except pull the power and reboot. Then it played fine for about an hour and we decided to swap over to Nintendo Land. It literally froze 3 times in the next hour.. I was so embarrassed because I wanted to show off the new system and make some believers of people who said the graphics couldn't be as good as the 360's - CoD proved they're at minimum on par, however everyone was quick to point out the 360 never freezes like that. Having a 360, they asked why I didn't just get CoD for the 360 instead... I said I wanted a larger library for my Wii U and they were aware of the freezing and a fix would be rolled out.
Honestly I felt disappointed because 4 freezes on Thanksgiving night is just ridiculous. Sure the graphics are nice and the 5-person game play is fun, but they released a buggy console that's made people say "I'll wait and see what Microsoft and Sony come out with next year." As for the 15-20 second menu loads... everyone couldn't stop making fun of my "next gen" console that's slower than hell.

These are all problems to be expected, it doesn't mean they can't be fixed. Was the 360 or PS3 perfect a few days after launch?

Actually... my Wii U has freezing issues too.... but hasn't happened within the past few days so yay!
Add me on Wii U if you want to settle it in Smash

Everyone else's seems to work fine? I'd believe that, except for the fact that all the consoles are running the same firmware and there's many many other threads and posts reiterating the same thing, do a google search for "wii u freezes" and you'll get plenty of results. If you don't have a Wii U yet you can't possibly know about the freezing, you guys without a Wii U probably think we're all just hating on it and making things up. But honestly, it is freezing and too often at that. It was a half baked console that they hoped they'd have fixes done and available as a patch - but that's proven to not be the case. They have done a patch, sure, and there's been released some new apps and updates for games, but we are ALL waiting for another system update for the Wii U console itself.. an update that will resolve the freezing issues and resolve the slow menu access.
And no, I honestly dont recall my 360 freezing like this. As for my PS3, I never really played it much because I hated the controller and the online system (compared to 360), so I traded it in towards my Wii U.

Just enjoy what you have...bugs can be fixed..OS can be changed via a future update aswel. No biggy. I'm getting black ops2 for wii u for a change of play.
Just got hitman tonight for ps3. And being a ps+ member I've just got uncharted & gravity rush for my vita aswel!
..my point being, you don't have to just keep the wii U and be sad when the ps4/720 comes out with 'better specs'..that's a given. Just get 1 aswel

Seems means "Give the impression or sensation of being something or having a particular quality", I don't remember seeing any posts about their Wii U's freezing on this forum, or maybe I just didn't read them or look for them, but after a quick forum search there is only a few other threads on that topic.Everyone else's seems to work fine? I'd believe that, except for the fact that all the consoles are running the same firmware and there's many many other threads and posts reiterating the same thing, do a google search for "wii u freezes" and you'll get plenty of results.

As for the 360, the 360 had a lot of problems when it launched and I never said only freezing issues, cough red rings? And red rings were fixed too! These "problems" with the Wii U are all things that can be fixed. You say you've been waiting like for an eternity. Rome wasn't built in a day you know?

THIS. Too many dumb arses in this world don't realize that those inferior consoles had problems too at launch and even sometimes do now. >.>Everyone else's seems to work just fine..

Wii transformed Nintendo's image into being JUST for kids rather than for everyone, including the hardcore.One of the comments I got a lot of was "Really? You got CoD on the Wii??" I had to explain that yes, the Wii versions were crap, but this is a Wii U and it's got more features than the 360/PS3 versions (mostly thanks to the GamePad). It was like being on trial by my peers, like I had done something wrong by getting CoD for the Wii U. Everyone seems to have really negative thoughts towards Nintendo systems running FPS games. When they got the chance to actually play it on the Wii U, they admitted they couldn't tell it was playing on a Wii U except for the fact that the controller wasnt the same. But with that said, I don't see anyone running out and trying to get a Wii U to play the games that their 360/PS3 can already play.. I'm not questioning my own purchase, I'm just disappointing in Nintendo a bit and hoping that Nintendo can earn back some respect from core gamers over the next year.

Dont feel too bad, I was playing 360 4 player splitscreen blops II Zombies on the farm on level 14, had jugger nog, speed, dpuble tap, and quick revive, galva knucks, just got a raygun from the mystery box, we were holding the upstairs room like champs, just got insta kill AND x2 AND..... The 360 froze.
Though not 4x in one night. Yowzas.
Who did treyarch farm the wii u port out to?
Not that I can get too mad at them, I mean, even the best around can still screw up porting a game to a more powerful system.
Just look at metroid prime trilogy. Im was SO pissed at retro tor actually having an inferior port of the first prime on the wii. Oh well.
