the way i feel about nintendo/the wii u is the way i used to feel about my mother when she punished me as a child

i could tell my friends about her being mean to me and i could call her all kinds of names, but if somebody even so much as dared to call my mother a bitch to my face i will skin them alive and dip them into a vat of the finest granules of mortons salt that can be bought with Black Money

the wii u isnt a real console and is shit but you are not allowed to say that

those are my words to use

Naw snatch. Naw. In terms of games, I can admit that they had the best showing this year, but like the others, they have quite a few things they need to work on. They are the secondary system with the best first party titles.
 
Microsoft's launch plans flat out baffle me.

No Africa at all. No Asia until late 2014. No big countries like Argentina, Portugal, Japan, China, etc.

E3 as a whole was definitely kind of "ok" which is scary because this was the one that was suppose show what was down the "pipeline" but it felt like it was literally everything we saw early this year or it was series that we knew would automatically have a sequel next gen.
 
Getting a PS4 and honestly, as soon as Nintendo announces a price drop for the WiiU, I'm there. Xbone aint getting shit from me even with Killer Instinct.
 
What's really dumb is gotta be on your friend's list for 30 days but at least they're bumping up the friends list. But it's like wanna give it to your friend's kid, cousin, nephew or SO, gotta add them even if you don't play with them, then wait a month. Bunch of bullshit. Why are they complicating shit?

Fuck. Does anyone remember having to fax out a xerox'd copy of your DVD disc to the support center in order to activate additional install licenses for your PC games before steam?

No? okay...

I remember having to find some random code in your game's instruction book that the game would ask for.

Yeah, those were the olden days before they introduced the online activation with limited numbers of installs. If you didn't run the game's uninstaller (and sometimes even if you did, EA) you would lose out on one of the allotted installs (usually 3 or 5). Afterward you were either shit out of luck or had to call the support line to add more activations to your CD Key. And after all of that BS they would still force you to keep the disc in the DVD tray when you started up the game.

Edit: and yes, Devo...it really sucked if you had a harddrive fail on you or had to wipe your PC for whatever reason.

Because they don't want you giving away/selling games. The inconvenience is their way of pushing the person to buy a (full-price) copy.

I realize this but is it actually going to boost sales or just put people off? They already sell games for 60 bucks that are short as hell.

People will just buy less games then.

And this is why Microsoft is dumb.

Although to be honest, people are still going to go out and buy their $70 CoD 2013 ritually. The vast majority of the outrage is internet-based, which won't move the needle much when you're marketing to all the dude-bros whose only internet use is porn and fantasy football.

The worst part of their plan that I think will come back to bite them hardest is restrictions on selling used games to retailers. If Timmy can't trade in Madden 2012 for credit/cash when he goes to pick up Madden 2013, it won't go over well.

Timmy will lose out on the $2.25 that Gamestop would have normally given him. Yearly sports games are bad examples, no?
 
Doesn't EA and company, have to ok selling games..period? You think they gonna let people trade in older titles


They might but allow it but when I first heard of the blocked games thing, I was like "well damn there goes the sport titles"

Honestly EA should be the last to complain about used games. Millions of copies flood the market making them damn near valueless.

You would think but according to EA's last conference call there asses are in the red. Dudes must be popping molly's all day and letting that company run on autopilot

It's almost like people are new to console releases.

Consoles always have staggered releases. Look at the launches of the Xbox 360 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xbox_360_launch#Regional_sales) and Playstation 3 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_3_launch). Notice how both console manufacturers released in key territories first, and then subsequently launched in other territories years later? Want to know why? Because it's par for the course as far as system releases are concerned.

These companies struggle to manufacture enough consoles to keep up with the demand of the few territories they actually do release in, so it's not surprising that they focus in on territories that are proven bread winners, while pushing every other territory to the back burner. It's good business. And neither the Playstation 3 or the Xbox 360 have officially launched in China, and I think you guys can come up for a few reasons why.

And the Xbox One is coming to Japan. Microsoft isn't going to drop money on a development studio in Osaka, and bankroll a Japan-centric title like D4, and then skip out on the region. Whether it releases this year is a legitimate question, but it's definitely going to release at some point. We'll probably hear something in the coming months considering TGS is around the corner.

As for restricting games outside of officially sanctioned countries, that's some of the most bone headed shit imaginable.
 
So yeah family I was sitting here reading up on more post press E3 news.'

I'm probably/more than likely going to drop $$$ on a Wii U, PS Vita, a PS4, & a 360(missed out on some exclusives). Plus, a new gaming setting up for them all too.

Priorities!
 
Ps4 controller feels a lot more solid than ps3s. Sticks still have that playstation looseness to them though. Buttons are a lot better too.

The bones rumble has a lot more fidelity to it now. Impossible to slip off the sticks, an they're slightly smaller now. The controller becomes legit wired if you use a micro USB cable, turns off the wireless radio and everything.about the same weight as the 360
