The cross-play feature might actually get me to buy this game quickly. Being able to play at home and continue on the go for one price sounds sweet. Having to buy two games separately is why MLB The Show's cross-play didn't work out.
@Lhomity Online passes are evil. I don't have time to list all the reasons why, but I'll give you these two examples:
1. If I sell my car while it's still under warranty, the manufacturer will still back it up. It's part of the value of my car, and there's no reason that value shouldn't be transferrable.
2. If someone sells a game, then that person is no longer using the online servers, so it's not like the purchaser is creating some additional load on them that wasn't already accounted for in the purchase of the game. What difference does it make if one gamer plays for six months or two gamers play for three months each in sequence?
I can understand why game makers hate used game sales, but claiming that it's an additional strain on their servers isn't true.
This isn't a diss of the Wii U. This is basically meeting a pretty girl who has a crush on you after you've already picked a date for the prom. Timing is everything.
A company that prioritizes game quality over release dates? What the hell are they thinking? There's no way I can continue to support a company like that with my hard-earned cash.
@Lhomity Hey, I hate to see good games go unappreciated just like good music or movies, so I do hope that they strike oil with this release. This time the price might be right so that with enough word of mouth from people who have already played it, new players will give it a look.
As for me though, I'll probably have to sit this one out. Like @Mafon2 says above, I've already bought this game twice. :-)
