Two totally polar opposite experiences.
ZombiU is a late night game, if you get high it will scare the living shit out of you.
New Super Mario Bros. U is the best in the 'New' series also.
Great experiences, I really hope they make a sequel to U and I haven't even beaten it yet (or gone 2 hours without a death...)

Have you guys had many online zombie friends end up in your games?

Goddammit, this, so much. I am absolutely in love with this game and I have taken so long to get through just this part, but the atmosphere and buildup of this is so amazing.
(Spoilers(?) regarding this part in the game--couple hours in)
So, I got the first lockpick set and fell asleep. I'm guessing what you're alluding to by "bad idea" and falling asleep was the fucking ambush I got. I ran out of bullets in the stationary gun and started backtracking to the Raven lounge only to realize I was stuck. I pushed the radar and there were about 5 or 6 zombies outside the door and another couple coming. Couldn't save. Didn't want to lose anything. Checked my inventory and got the idea to throw a flare in the corner, open the door, and the molotov cocktail everyone as they went for the flare. About 7 of them burned and I got the hell out of there. Amazing.
they show up occasionally. I have noticed I get non friends zombies showing up too.

Excellent. That's what I'm looking forward to. Glad it's any user zombies.
Its nice. one random players zombie showed up in Buckingham Palace. Killed him and he had like 120 rounds of pistol ammo. Felt like christmas

I've had about 6 that had nothing in their packs but occasionally the packs are full with supplies. It's great.
Nintendo does seem to have things running alot more smoothly now. Seeing tons of ingame spray paint messages etc in ZombiU so Miiverse is running ok. They basically have the growing pains that NA gets to endure to make sure Europe and Japan have a smoother run

I was wondering, as you start with a gun, does something prevents you from :
1. commit suicide
2. find your zombified character, kill it, loot ammo
3. commit suicide
4. ???
5. profit
1. commit suicide

Remember when us NA gamers complained that Japan got games first? Well, sucks to be us this time doesn't it

I guess you could do that but it would make for a lousy experience.
I find it best when surviving for long periods of time.

The game is pretty good so far! Emphasis on surviving, but not so much on the actual gameplay mechanics; still, it's enjoyable because of the experience it brings. It really feels like a survival horror zombie apocalypse thing-a-ma-jig. I'm playing slowly and scrounging up any bullets, candy and drinks I can find to stay alive. If it's just one or two zombies, I use my cricket bat - I'm saving my pistol rounds for hordes and tight situations.
I'm also doing a recording of my playthrough on YouTube if anyone is interested:

I don't think you can grab ammo from a gun that has bullets loaded, I think it's only if there's a box of bullets on the zombie.

You will hate yourself once you see how awesome it is.
So I started playing this earlier tonight, and within the first couple of hours I managed to trap myself in a tiny room with two doors. I had backtracked into this room when i saw a bunch of zombies aggro at me in the corridor ahead. The door I first entered from locked behind me, and I was stuck in this room with only other door standing between me and a mob of zombies, who started to pound against it.
Cornered, I felt like such an idiot, getting myself into this position. I felt so defenseless. I had six bullets, and no other offensive/defensive options other than the cricket bat and one flare. It was hectic. And at that moment, I knew I clicked with the game. It was like, "yeah, okay Zombi U, I get ya now."
If anything, I wished the game had moments that made you feel even more powerless. The cricket bat is too dependable a weapon. I'd like for the ga,e to saddle me with weaker melee weapons, like a tiny blade, or a wooden plank. Breakable weapons of sorts as well.

That dude must've felt soooo bad when he lost that character, haha.

Heck even reading stuffs like this.
I can't play this too soon
Woah Imagine being stuck in that room with a horde of zombies and you're basically throwing everything you've got, from your car keys to chairs and all...
They need to start working on a sequel stat!
Like
You have to hit each zombie 4 or 8 times with the cricket bat as there are no other melee items
also you can easily survive without dying by keep using the same tactics over again
Is Unyeah even a word? lol. It would have been much easier to just use like/dislike, I don't think people will be calling them out for copying these two words.

Love love love Zombi 80's and how the Ending Credits seems to be inspired by that song.

To be fair, like and dislike has a bit of a connotation.
It's still doesn't help the disconnect like
But it appears less...offensive I'd say.
Isn't that the whole point?
I mean that melee is shit.
What's the point of making a survival horror if there's no element of fear in it?
I don't get this. PS3 has full and limited range options, but on any consumer HDTV you should use limited range. Just calibrate your TV for it. TV and blurays use the same 16-235 range so if you calibrate based on 0-255 you're crushing blacks and blowing out whites
unless you are using a PC monitor which specifically expects full range.
The idea may be similar to how Demon's Souls and Dark Souls is scary: that you have to always be careful, and a single fuck up puts you at risk of losing a lot of progress, and another fuck up following that WILL destroy that progress, yet you're never in a genuine unwinnable state unless you really screwed things up, though maybe a very annoying state.
I think it's already more up my alley I mean I started Demon's Soul and well the whole "you're naked, here's a dragon, kill it" is not exactly my idea of a fun time (I think I'm missing something critical but still).
Heck the battle system in DS is closer to Monster Hunter than Kingdom Hearts in that it's intentionally slow and paced how the devs wanted to, that doesn't mean the game is broken and all because I can't progress.
I mean I still have Sonic 06 to remind me what a broken game looks like.
I don't think Nintendo wants become part of the ongoing patent wars in IT.
Ok then something. "Yeah" and "Remove Yeah" or something like that.. you know?
you have to take into account that usually to keep the gui clean you have to come to compromises.
Remove Yeah would probably result into a too big button or whatever...

Just curious, not sure if this has been posted yet but I didn't wanna sift through 40+ pages of posts, but are there in-game accomplishments for ZombiU or do we have to wait until the Uplay app?
I don't have the game yet but I'm eyeing it as my next game for the system.

I don't know if melee weapons as a resource is necessary, but it would have been cool if different survivors had different melee weapons to start with.
You guys really make it hard to live in Europe and wait for Wii U right now. Every impression in here makes me want this game even more. On the other hand, I am kinda glad that the US served as proving ground for the launch and am hopefull that Nintnedo will iron out the worst kinks in time for the 30th november.
That's true. Oh well, its still stupid but then again it really isn't a big deal. I don't think I'll either "yeah" nor "unyeah" anything anyway
I will be getting NSMBU at launch (Japan here), since it's a safe bet. But this game has really peaked my interest. The only thing that might prevent me from getting it is if it were a short game (often happens with launch games). So, does anyone have any idea how long this game is? Anyone beat it yet?
But they actually showed exactly what put them offto this game. GT has remained my goto review site and they still do after their excellently detailed review. I know what flaws to expect and they still won't turn me off from this game.
seems like there is an iOS app:

I'm not overly impressed with the title, but yet I wouldn't write it off either. It's a step in the right direction for the survival horror games I've been looking forward to since it was apparent zombie games were trending this generation. Having limited space requires item management and in turns requires tactics in order to have a contingency plan around sticky situations you might encounter. I do like the whole community aspect of being able to pick up the goods of people who have died around you and leaving messages for others (ala~ Dark Souls) but I feel the core combat is just weak as shit. Maybe that's intentional? I find myself avoiding encounters as much as possible only using my cricket bat so I'm not driven into a corner, because both the melee and gunplay lack a considerable amount of punch in this. The first day I played a lot more multiplayer because I had a few friends over. The multiplayer was actually quite alot of fun, but the CTF mode needs a bit of balancing. While the zombielord is supposed to be some sort of omnipresent overseer, it'd be nice if there was a way to mask item placements (whether it be mines, turrets) but the game does give the survivor some considerable advantages via gifts, so maybe I just haven't found those yet.
