I just hope Nintendo don't force this tablet controller down our throats with their own games. If they release Zelda with classic controller support then it's an auto-buy, but if i'm forced to aim arrows by looking at my tablet controller while moving it to aim then you can forget it. Same thing with Mario, if there's no classic controller support then no thanks. I think the Wii U will do well but it's going to suffer in the 3rd party game department just like the Wii did, that much is obvious.
InControl may not be the most successful SC2 pro player but what he has done for the e-sports scene is truly remarkable. I honestly believe that without InControl the e-sports scene, sc2 in particular, would not be where it's at today. He totally deserves a big tournament win one day and i reckon he'll get it eventually.
So in other words this is actually just a current gen console in terms of power and when the true next gen consoles come from Sony and MS the Wii U will have no hope of running the new games on these new engines we are starting to hear about (Luminous, UE4 etc). This is Nintendo's DreamCast. Farewell.
That's just a silly comment. It's a port of a PC game that's been out for years so of course it's going to be compared to it. The fact this is a pretty old version of minecraft with no creative mode and invisible borders in the world, i think the review score was adjusted accordingly and comparisons to the PC version were fair. On another point - i want that crafting system in the PC version!
For the full ME3 experience, be prepared to spend $100-300 on DLC over the next year or three. It's sad to see EA drag this once great developer through the mud. BioWare only have to develop half a game before it's released these days, the rest gets released via DLC. 2-3 times the price for 1 game, great. The final straw is EA's enforcement of Origin. Sorry but i am not going to install that software so i therefore cannot buy ME3, but that's not to say i can't play it. Screw you EA.
Why does this matter anyway? Anyone with a shred of common sense would never take user reviews on metacritic seriously anyway. It's just a troll fest of 1s and 10s
OnLive claims hardware requirements aren't any worry but actually they are. My old Athlon 64 3000+ had a hard time using this service because the games were streaming in 1080p which that processor is too weak to process. Occasionally the games would downscale to 720p which would resolve the issue but it was a random occurrence and i saw no way to change the stream quality manually. This was some time ago though so perhaps they added the option to choose your stream quality by now?
Nintendo, it's simple. We don't care about 3D We don't care about motion controls What we care about is having decent games to play on the console we paid good money for. Stop creating silly boundaries for 3rd party developers that most just cannot even be bothered to try and pass. If i were you Nintendo i would scrap all further motion control nonsense and design a regular controller for the Wii U and just let 3rd party developers do their thing. As you can see, your consoles aren't doing too great without them are they?
