#189527 Wii U port of Deus Ex: Human Revolution "is sharper than the PC version...

Posted by nothinglost on 03 April 2013 - 05:38 AM

^^^ Well now I'm sold on this game!!!!

 

I thought it would be pretty cool but after reading the interview with the Lead Dev and watching the Gameplay trailer I will definitely be picking up this Wii U Exclusive Gem!!!!

 

This is what I'm talking about when I refer to "ports".

 

It's technically a "port" but a reimagined one with new features and a graphical overhaul. Heck Yes SquarEnix!!!!!!




#189524 Amazing Spider Man Wii U March 5th

Posted by nothinglost on 03 April 2013 - 05:31 AM

With so many games to play, finally got around to posting back in this thread with my thoughts on the game. I started off on the human level of difficulty as I want to be eased into the game and learn the control mechanics. As nothinglost said, same combat system as Arkham City.  I agree, the first boss was definitely awesome and after defeating it, you just get drawn into more of the game. 

 

Nice, glad you dig the game too.

 

I was pleasantly surprised by it after all of the "Meh" reviews that kept popping up but like I've always said....

 

You have to play a game to know if you enjoy it. ;)




#187675 Lego City Undercover ?

Posted by nothinglost on 29 March 2013 - 10:01 AM

^^

 

Anyone else like the nintendo references throughout the game? I think it's cool and amusing. Also two words of advice, beware: Sharks .  :laugh:

^^^ Dude seriously!!!

 

The first time we encountered a shark it definitely made everyone in the room jump and shout!!! It was awesome!!!!

 

Now our daughter always wants to get eaten by the shark down by the ferry. Too funny.

 

I've only encountered 1 Nintendo reference so far and it was a sound clip. Pretty neat!!!




#187627 Not sure what games to pick up...

Posted by nothinglost on 29 March 2013 - 08:05 AM

Hi Bro,

 

I agree with you, and with the choices the OP listed... it's really hard actually to pick two even though I did. I agree as well the Amazing Spiderman is solid. Same combat system as Batman Arkam City, open world gameplay, and even though it's based off a movie... it's FUN!

Totally man.

 

Maybe it's just me but I seem to be enjoying some of the games that Critics are panning.

 

Amazing Spiderman

Walking Dead: Survival Instinct

Zombie U




#187620 Lego City Undercover ?

Posted by nothinglost on 29 March 2013 - 07:51 AM

^^^

 

I have never played a lego game before because they all look childish. This is the first one that catches my interest though and I have to ask, which open world is better, this game or assassins creed 3? I heard AC3 is boring and kinda dead... how about lego city? any random world events happen similar to red dead redemption?

 

Well I can't speak for AC3 as I haven't played it yet but I can speak for Lego City.

 

The open world in Lego City is very very similar to the open breathing world in GTA: Vice City. 

 

Random events happen all over the place in Lego and they are almost always very funny and entertaining.

 

I would totally pick up this game if you're looking for a free roaming open world experience. :)




#187615 Director's Cuts/Game of the Year editions can save the Wii U?

Posted by nothinglost on 29 March 2013 - 07:44 AM

I would love as many Director's Cut/GOTY Edition ports as possible!!

 

Personally, as a gamer who has never owned a 360 or a PS3 I will welcome all Ports with welcome arms simply because I have never even had the opportunity to play any of them.

 

I'm sure I'm not alone in this category....

 

Went straight from Gamecube/PS2 to Wii and then on to Wii U.




#187264 Unity and Wii U

Posted by nothinglost on 28 March 2013 - 07:42 AM

Nintendo Web Framework

The Nintendo Web Framework is a development environment based on WebKit technologies, supporting application development on the Wii U system using HTML5, JavaScript, and CSS. It also supports the Wii U GamePad controller, Wii Remote controllers, and JavaScript extensions such as video playback. With the Nintendo Web Framework, development times will be reduced and Wii U applications can be easily developed using common Web technologies. Combining the handy Wii U GamePad, the TV screen, and the Internet, the potential exists for the services and games you are developing to progress by leaps and bounds. 
 
https://gdc2013.nintendo.com/

For more information on Nintendo Web Framework, please attend theNintendo Wii U Application session at GDC .

Basically what this means is that Nintendo is setting up the eShop & Online Community for ALL Developers to be able to create Web Apps, Games etc. for Wii U very easily and very inexpensive.
 
I think Nintendo may have just opened up the flood gates for an amazing system very similar to Apple's App Store. We may be in for a wild ride with the Wii U everyone. This just might be the Gigantic Leap Forward that Nintendo needs in order for the Wii U to succeed.
 
I knew that I was going to try to develop a game and/or application for the Wii U but now it just got a whole lot easier from the Dev's point of view.
 
Just in case anyone is interested - Google Street U was built using the Web Framework. ;)
 
What are your thoughts on this?



#187251 Lego City Undercover ?

Posted by nothinglost on 28 March 2013 - 07:07 AM

^^ Nice. Thanks for the info.

 

Just my opinion: At first I was annoyed with the long loading times but now it doesn't bother me at all because I know what's awaiting once it's loaded!!! The game is so damn good that it's worth all the loading time!

 

Not to mention the awesome 70's style Starsky & Hutch load screen music. I have found that dancing along with the music makes the load times much easier. ;)




#186178 Lego City Undercover ?

Posted by nothinglost on 25 March 2013 - 12:21 PM

^^^ Nicely said Goodtwin.

 

It's definitely hard to explain the game to someone if they haven't played either a previous GTA or any of the previous Lego games because it's basically a very good blend of both of those styles.

 

I can't wait to explore more of the world tonight.




#186110 Lego City Undercover ?

Posted by nothinglost on 25 March 2013 - 09:21 AM

Like nothinglost said but for kids. I think it's an okay game, but if you haven't played a LEGO game or you're not into them it's not a good pick-up.

 

Yup, it's definitely a "kid friendly" version of GTA but that being said, it isn't just for Kids. It's simply a game for all ages.

 

I'm 31 and our daughter is 4 and we both love it for totally different reasons.

 

The other night we had friends over and we all played together (4 year old and 4 30+ year olds) and we all had a blast.

#181665 Amazing Spider Man Wii U March 5th

Posted by nothinglost on 12 March 2013 - 06:48 AM

Sorry guys.... I resurrected this thread a few days ago because of the Toys R Us sale that's going on.

 

I ordered it on Thursday and it should arrive either today or tomorrow.

 

When I play it for a bit I will report back here with details. ;)



Sorry for the double post....

 

Alright I played the first 3 chapters of the game last night and.... (drumroll)

 

It's really fun.

 

The game itself definitely has some flaws but they are easy to look past because of how fun the game plays.

 

The fighting system is similar to Batman Arkham Asylum (in a good way.)

 

The first boss fight was really neat too. A giant robot bug thing the size of a 3 or 4 story building.

 

Also the open world/sandbox type of city is done very well.

 

In game usage of the gamepad is also similar to Arkham Asylum. The map is always available and it shows your position in real time. It also displays where challenges and crimes are located.

 

I really like the experience point system as well.

 

More to come as I continue to web sling all over Manhattan!!

 

PS - Not worth $40 - $50 bucks but totally worth $30 in my opinion.




#178931 Why are people doubting Wii U now because of PS4?

^^^ I agree 100%

Not sure if I'll pick this up right away but this will definitely end up on my gaming shelf at some point.


#171980 Google Maps with Street View now live on Nintendo's Wii U eShop

Posted by nothinglost on 16 February 2013 - 05:12 AM

I have to chime in on this one...

Last night my wife and I were showing our 4 year old daughter all of the places in the world that we have traveled to that she has never seen.

This alone was worth a million dollars to see the look on her face when we were able to "walk" around the Eiffel Tower in Paris and look at castles in Spain. It's about as close as possible that we will be able to recreate this for her and for that we are very happy.

Also it's super fun looking at all of the places we have lived over the years and just seeing how they have changed.

Way to go Nintendo for continuously thinking outside of the 'videogame' box and pushing the limits and expectations of what consoles can do.

We can't wait for more unique features and applications like Street U.
