Gaming Discussion / Re: Lol at Kotaku: The Wii U's Biggest threat is the 3ds

Its all a part of their strategy, there heavy hitters are going to be the upcoming Mario and Mario kart games for Wii u that they are going to show footage of at e3.

Nintendo just cancelled their E3 show for this year...

They want to focus on smaller, more private events instead. It can be easily translated to "We couldn't even gather enough juicy stuff to fill an one hour presentation".

And of course a new Mario Kart would sell millions. THERE IS NOTHING ELSE TO BUY. The question is if a new Mario Kart would sell millions of consoles. I highly doubt it.

I lol'ed.

Though Squeenix' iOS FF rythm game (Tetra something, forget the name) costs about the same if not more if you buy all the songs.

I don't think loli hentai is in any shape or form comparable to child abuse, but if the laws in your country do consider both legally equal, it's obviously not worth the risk.

Is that "lol" aimed at the article or at the article's point? Because what she writes makes sense to me.

Doesn't seem that way when there is a new topic by you every week with the same issues and the same mistakes and the same poorly thought out opinions.

I never liked this series, it always played vastly sub-par to other fighting games. Of course when I was not even a teen yet it was "a thing" for the gore and execution moves. But as a game I wasn't a huge fan even then. I haven't bothered playing a game in the series for many years though. So it's possible I'm unjust towards new entries in the series. But honestly, I doubt it

I seem to recall the general consensus being all style, no substance.

It's basically a lightgun shooter, only with a controller... so yeah.

All that said, I'd be perfectly content to let the series lie dormant, not that it will happen, but I've truly felt this way since 4 was released.

Indeed, 4 had such a complete ending, it feels wrong to add anything. The story is told.

Steam tells me I played 13 hours. I played it on hard and searched every niche and trashcan, though I ended up missing half a dozen sightseeing points and 8 audio recordings, so apparently I wasn't thorough enough. There is one decision after about a third in the game that seems to strongly influence the path to the ending. But I can't be sure until I replayed it and made the other choice. Once you beat it (or by entering a cheat on the main menu) there is also 1999 mode which is even harder and will feature a very tight money and ammunition budget so you have to plan ahead and focus on a few select weapons and vigors to get through the game.

I beat Bioshock Infinite. The ending left me pretty floored. Not in a "holy shit awesome"-way but more likea ungodly bastard between mild surprise, depression, melancholy and yet still, satisfaction. I guessed a lot of the major plot points in advance, though usually in a "that or this might be the major thing" fashion, when in the end it turned out to be everything I considered at once. I probably don't make sense, but it's no use talking about it without spoiling the whole thing. Is it worth it? Yes. It is without a doubt the best FPS of this generation. It is as good as Bioshock 1 was. Still can't reach System Shock 2, but then nothing will, so that's ok.

Hmmm, I don't remember that to be the case. I hated the shit out of that game though, so I might have not paid too close attention. But I'm pretty certain I could reset to the start and keep my stuff.

The only game in the entire franchise I really liked was 3, and that's probably only thanks to nostalgia glasses, I don't think I'd still like it today. So... personally I wouldn't care if the franchise stays dead.

I beat the New York Raid in The Secret World together with my new Guild for the first time today. That was some crazy intense stuff. It took us 3 hours of trying before we managed it. Last saturday and tuesday we tried for 4 hours each time and did not succeed. It has a hard time-limit of 10 minutes per try, but it seems pretty difficult to have 10 people not make a mistake for 10 minutes consistently. I'm playing a damage dealer and I'm the only on the raid who isn't geared out in max nightmare gear (far from it even). Still I outdamaged 3 of the other 5 DDs... It makes me at once sad at their performance and happy to know that skill and a good build matter more than gear in this game.

I think that means for now I've beaten the hardest battle in the game. Though I haven't seen the inside of some dungeons in Nightmare mode yet and I've not fought a single lair boss so far. So I guess I still got enough challenges to tackle before the next content update hopefully brings new stuff to do in this game.

You gotta ask the question though, what else do you want from Thunderbird? It handles mails. It does it well. What is there aside from turning it into a bloatware behemoth with 50 different other protocols that the average users never needs? Not to mention there are usually add-ons for those available in case you do need one...

« on: March 29, 2013, 06:48:09 am »

That would be the Royal We or "Me, The People" as the late political cartoonist Doug Marlette used to put it. That would refer, in my case, to the company of me and myself; still awfully personal.

I wasn't refering to single individuals using "we" but for group releases.

Since the news are tagged with a user name, I think first person or a "we" perspective (what is that called?) can be acceptable, depending on how it's written. It's a case by case thing. I'm just glad when people bother at all to write news about their releases...

Note: Thiis is my personal opinion and not official staff policy.
