  1. Nintendo 3DS

    I see. I was worried when you said "loot system", I'm actually kinda indifferent to that, but I don't know, in the videos the game seems great, and I do want to try some action oriented title from Nintendo. And maybe I'll like the loot in the game because it can improve your equipment, as I heard. I usually dislike loot when you get lots of useless stuff.I think it might be a good game, even with it's clunky controls. I'm really leaning towards it instead OoT. Oh, and one last question: do you think the stand that comes with the physical version of the game is needed? I'd prefer to buy it via eShop, it's cheaper that way. Tilt controls do suck, at least on Vita they did. Thanks for your impressions as well, I was thinking of getting it because it reminded me a little of Mario RPG, but I see it's not worthy now.
  2. Nintendo 3DS

    I guess no Mario and Luigi as my next buy then. Maybe I'll just go for Kid Icarus or Ocarina of Time, the reception for both was way more solid, I just wished there was a demo. Thanks for all the answers guys. Edit: I'm playing 3D Land right now and this guy: Is the cutest thing ever.
  3. Nintendo 3DS

    I know everyone's talking about Majora's Mask, and it definitely seems like a great game (never played it). But have any of you guys played Mario and Luigi Dream Team? I'm really enjoying the ideas of the game in the demo, but I feel the game itself could be a bit better. I heard the first part of the game isn't too great, the tutorial section seems too long, but the game is great after the slow start. So, do you agree with those impressions, does the game get better?
  4. The Nintendo Wii U is Great Thread

    Splatoon just got wag more interesting with this single player mode. It seems like a great try to renovate the shooter genre, with some clever and actually demanding platforming mechanics. Oh hell, Nintendo really really wants me to buy a Wii U, I can't resist anymore.
  5. Lords of the Fallen: Clunky Souls

    I would consider picking this game if it doesn't have mutant spiders as enemies. Fuck, I hate western RPGs and their obsession with spiders, it's pretty hard for an arachnophobic (and I'm not even close of people with real serious cases of phobia). I already tried overcoming this irrational fear but it just causes me severe headaches in the end.
  6. Quitter's Club: Don't be ashamed to quit the game.

    Yep, I'm talking about dark moon, forgot to specify the game in the series.I think it would be way better if you didn't need to revisit the same environments so much, sometimes the new "quest" is just to find an item that was in a room that you already was.
  7. Quitter's Club: Don't be ashamed to quit the game.

    I think I'll give up on Luigi's Mansion. It's a good game, but I just don't feel any reason to continue. It doesn't have a proper story, so no need to finish it for this reason, and I think I a already got all the cuteness and fun from the gameplay. In my opinion it could be way shorter.
  8. Fantasy Life (3DS)

    I'd love to see this quoted on the game box. Well, the game definitely got my attention, maybe I'll buy it next month.
  9. Nintendo 3DS

    I'm really glad that Mario 3D Land is a thing that exists in this world. And that I bought it. It's my first Mario game since Super Mario World on SNES (never played a 3D Mario) and it's the greatest thing on the universe for me right now. I think I'll just stick to the 3DS (and even buy a Wii U) in these frustrating times of being a PC Gamer in a new gen transition, lately I have been so worried about getting games to run well that I'm not actually enjoying playing them so much. The "simplicity" of Nintendo is what I need right now.
  10. Evolve

    Sweet, I'll try it tomorrow when I get home.
  11. Evolve

    How's the performance on PCs? Will I be able to run it on a i5 and a R9 280X?
  12. Recently completed video games

    Finished Uncharted 3 (again) recently, and in this second (or third, can't remember) playthrough I just realized that I love this game even with it's flaws. It's visuals are amazing, truly unmatched on last gen, and playing it on a TV instead of a PC Monitor (like I used to) really helped with it. You can see the limitations, but some stuff on it are just incredible, like the per object motion blur, which really improves the animation quality. I love some stuff that they do to make the game more "cinematic", but one of their big mistakes with this title was going too far with that. For example, the melee sequences are a bit weird because the camera angle changes a lot, it feels inconsistent with the "imersion" they try to achieve. Anyway, really loved this game this time, even with the pretty unremarkable and shallow story.
  13. Bayonetta

    I'm in the same boat. To be honest I prefer Sony exclusives, but Nintendo Games are looking amazing on the Wii U, I'm really impressed with the visuals, and they might be really fun to play considering they've always been. However, Bayonetta 2 is the real reason I'm finally going to buy this console, but I think I'll wait until I find a very good deal on a used Wii U, I'm spending too much money on video games.The original Bayonetta was such a surprise, I never expected to actually enjoy it. Played it only this year, it was the inferior PS3 port but it's still an amazing game anyway. It just got a great learning curve for newcomers to the genre, because even if sometimes I got completely stuck in some challenges, it was so rewarding when you overcome them and realized you got so so much better at playing the game.
  14. The Nintendo Wii U is Great Thread

    I really want to buy a Wii U, but I do need to make much better financial decisions... But Bayonetta 2 seems like a fantastic financial decision right now. Damn.
  15. The threat of Watch Dogs

    I redownloaded the game after learning how to properly lock frame rates on PC, and now the screen doesn't look too juddery and blurry when running around (however, it still looks a tad "judderier" - is that even a word? - than most console games at 30 fps). I'm enjoying the game more now, the missions started to be more varied, instead of just "hack this, run away or kill everyone". There was even a little puzzle that I enjoyed, I hope there's more of this till the end of the game. I still have to learn how to play the mini games, like the robotic spider one. Seems cool.
  16. Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor

    Finished the game last night. Loved it. The pacing is quite good, as they don't give you the whole gameplay system from the start, and not even the whole map. And in opposite of other people here, I enjoyed the second map way more visually, so pretty. The story is unremarkable, but wasn't bad in my opinion. It's a cliche hero's journey, but it didn't hurt the game. My favorite game of this year so far.
  17. Alien Isolation - The nightmare of Milky Joe

    To people playing: how scary do you think it is (even though this is completely subjective)? I watched the first alien movie only a couple of years ago and quite enjoyed it, so I like how the aesthetics of this game reminds the first one. The problem is that I'm afraid to be afraid, never been a big fan of horror games to be honest.
  18. Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor

    Haha, yep, it's pretty amazing how varied their personalities can be. Yesterday I fought a captain with a pretty bad burn in his face, he was super weirdo and, unlike the others, he didn't say a word to me, just stared with a creepy face. He was pretty hard to beat, especially because someone accidentally threw fire on him, something that makes him furious and way harder to beat. I'm really enjoying this system, makes the battles much more remarkable with this kind of details. I want to see more of it in other games, and not necessarily associated with the combat system, but with NPCs in general.
  19. Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor

    I'm enjoying this game much more than I thought. Seriously, this is a pretty good game, probably the best one of the "next-gen" titles I played. It has a lot of weak spots, but the combat is so satisfying, and the Nemesis system is fantastic, never thought it would make such a difference in the game. I want to see more stuff like this in other titles, it makes the combat much more involving and kinda personal.
  20. I've been wanting to try a PC multiplayer game for a while, as they seem to be among the best games for the platform, but as an introvert, specially one with a reasonable amount of social anxiety, I feel a bit timid of taking part in any online community. The general impression I got from the communities in online games also don't make things easier. For example, I remember a Thumbs cast in which Jake or Sean tells about the time they tortured someone in DayZ just because reasons, and the interest I had to buy DayZ kinda vanished, it doesn't look like a game that I'd feel comfortable with. So I want to know if I'm alone in this, and if I'm not, which online game do you introverts or shy people play, with a community that is a bit more amicable. I know this is a weird feeling to have about video games, but it just happens.
  21. I just played The Crew beta, and I'm still baffled that Ubisoft used, again, the same formula that have been present in its franchises. It's kind of ridiculous because, well, it's a racing game, they totally didn't need to go for that. But they seem to be crazy about this lately. Well, basically this formula makes every game open world with unlockable skills, power-ups, etc., it has been like this for a while, so, in regard to game design and gameplay, this is pretty well known. But now they also added as mandatory the same "you killed my wife and child" storyline. If I recall correctly, this storyline was present in Assassin's Creed II, Brotherhood and III. It also had its place in Far Cry 3 and Watch Dogs. And now, in -*/The Crew. They also seem to get worse on it every single time. In Watch Dogs the scene in which your relative dies (is right at the beginning of the game, and was also advertised int he trailer, so not actually a spoiler) is terribly done, and in The Crew it's even worse. It makes no sense at all. I really don't understand this. I mean, it's fine to copy a sucessfull strategy for a new game, but they're taking it to another level. Can't wait to play Just Dance - You Killed my Wife and Child on Dancefloor Edtion
  22. Heh, I'm just free driving, so I'm avoiding these stuff. Went from Detroit to Miami, Miami to LA, La to Seattle... The variation in the scenery is pretty great. Just realized that The Crew is made by the same studio that worked on Driver San Francisco. That was a pretty good game with a surprisingly great writing, best racing game by far on last gen.
  23. I Had a Random Thought (About Video Games)

    Does this work on PC as well (assuming you have a PS4 and a PC)? I was thinking about buying a huge-ass cable just to plug my headphones on the PC, but this would be a much better solution.
  24. Nintendo 3DS

    I just read that it comes with a better 3D screen. Oh well, now I want this, just don't want to spend the money. First world problems.
  25. Nintendo 3DS

    And a Xenoblade port will be available just for the new 3ds, because it has a better CPU. That's kind of lame, because doesn't favor the "early" adopters, but I think it's better than not making the port at all.
