The Wonderful 101 had Platinum's biggest team size and their longest dev cycle

What's with all the bomb-babbies in this thread? Maybe I'm reading it wrong, but it's like people WANT it to bomb.

Is it just because it's a game you want on a console you don't? You'd like to see it on the Quad or Bone down the road?
 
You didn't buy it hard enough. ;____; Treasure is stuck porting their old games because of you.

Heh. I like that.

Looking forward to this game. Unfortunately, I won't be getting it until after Bayonetta 2 comes out.

"I won't buy a WiiU because it doesn't have games!"

WiiU gets a game that isn't available on other consoles.(Bayonetta 2)

"Bayonetta 2 being a WiiU exclusive is such CRAP! Petition! Hope it fails!"

I never in my life cared if a game sales or tanked until the day I joined Neogaf. I want to go back :(

I cared a litltle as a fan who wanted more of what I liked, then I joined GAF and cared more because, well, GAF, and now I get paid to care, and I care less.

Go figure.
 
I have a Wii U and am excited for the game but the way gaf and other forums are hyping it up is a little crazy. Very curious about the sales for this as I think it won't even break 250k this year.
 
Early on in a console's life, it's rare it has more than 1-2 games that are REALLY worth getting it for. Everything else you might get is decent at best, and your main motivation is hope.
 
I'm probably gonna get a WiiU for this and Bayo 2.

I hate to sound like a sub-Pachter level troll here, but if the WiiU flops next year, it's gonna be another Dreamcast situation where people forget the weird controller and bad games and only remember the really awesome games they should have bought and played when the system still had a chance.
 
Just preordered this after realising it is out in only 15 days in EU. I wonder what the reason for the difference in US and EU release date is?
 
New impressions from IGN UK:

They say the controls don't work all of the time. Definitely not the most glowing impressions I've heard so far.

She says its almost impossible to get it right everytime(morphing weapons) and its confusing to what shape you want to make.

It seems to me that shes just not good at videogames..

I dont think platinum would produce a game with almost impossible gameplay mechanics.

The top youtube comment: "I worked GREAT for me... lol IGN doesn't know how to play......."

She says: "... once you get used to it, it kind of works". So I assume once you master it, it just works, as in every Platinum games.
 
you should learn to play games before you are allowed to review games that end up on shit like Metacritic

When the guy asked her if its a system seller, she didnt say no...but rather, we'll see.

I think she was being too harsh from her lack of skill. Even kamiya said the first run through will feel like a tutorial.

As people said before you know what morph you are using by the color.

If you start making a sword everything slows down and the line turns blue, so by the time you finish drawing the line it turns into a sword. Same for the gun = green, whip= pink, etc.


So if you start drawing an S and it is green then something is wrong.

Hopefully we will see more in the nintendo direct tomorrow.
 
Sure hope this works out for them, it'd suck if Wonderful 101 killed Platinum.

I mean, without PG, who'd we demand franchises be given to?
 
I can't stand her voice..She will bury the game, for sure!


Btw, apart from the fact that is IGN we are talking about, are these complaints valid?

I am on media black out, more or less, so I haven't read anything, but on the early demo that I had played, I had no problem whatsoever.
 
Who paid for the development? Will its looming commercial failure damage Platinum?

They're inability to get commercial hits has never doomed them before.

Platinum has this knack to constantly get work and make impressive games while at the same time always watching their games fail commercially.

Ahhh! All them shapes. Looks so unbearably complicated!

Ive yet to master anything past drawing a line.
 
Wonderful 101 is probably my most anticipated game of the year, but instead of hyping me, the threads just depress me because they're always 95% talk of "bomb", "won't buy a WiiU for a game I'm interested in", "Nintendo is gonna kill Platinum", bla bla bla.

:(
 
Two weeks to go. My card has been charged.

It's sobering and rather surreal to think that I'll finally be playing this very, very soon.

They're wrong.

UNITE UP!
 
Eh I'm sure they're fine. I haven't heard anyone else make that complaint. Maybe it'll be another case similar to Skyward Sword where the controls are fine but you need to be precise.

The complaint was actually that she would do the wrong unite morph and mess up a combo and that angered her. It sounded like it works most of the time for her, just not 100% from watching the video.

As a SF II player back in the SNES days, it took me a long time to where I could pull off a shoryuken every time, but maybe 5% of the time I end up doing a Hadoken instead. Obviously the supers, the spinning piledriver, etc, are a lot harder.

I think the other complaint (which the Guardian review mentioned) that it was hard to see your character at times might be more valid.

I agree that seeing the character might be an issue. I just hope with time you learn see where your character is and pick them out of the crowd.

Uh, to be honest, the issue isn't really bad games. Most games on the console are of pretty good quality, it's more the lack of games post launch.

Its almost unbearable at this point. Sales talk should be left in sales thread. Its troll behavior, imo.
 
who buys a console for one game



I bought a PS3 for MGS IV
I bought 3DS for Final Fantasy Theatrhythm
I bought a PSP for Peace Walker
I bought a Wii U for Bayonetta 2

Other games have come along, but I almost always buy in on a system to play 1 particular game I can't get anywhere else.

With all do respect to 'sales talk', it can be fun to talk about because its controversial. We all know the game will be great. I think rather than say "bomb", people should predict its sales and place a bet. I'm actually on the fence that thinks this wont bomb (relative to wiiU sales), especially if it can maintain a 90+ metacritic.
 
This topic is wall to wall the reason I don't like to talk to people about videogames IRL.

Holy shit you guys. Have some joy in your hobby. :-/

Oh, I totally agree.

I am more pointing out the "lulz this will bomb, so therefore I don't care about it" posts.
