That movie was fucking awful.

Hipster. Must be the TV, mine looks great on my Samsung screen.

I think that depends entirely on how well ME3 does on Wii U. And given the fact that I don't think it's going to do well because the majority of Wii U owners interested in playing it likely played it in the past 9 months on a different system. Still, I think games like ME3, AC3, and Arkham City were important for Nintendo to have, even if no one's playing them. Having those games says a lot about the system and what Nintendo fans can (hopefully) expect.

If true: ouch! Though, I suppose it would be a game lots of people download. I don't know if I believe it. I don't think it sold like gangbusters BUT I have played a lot of online and only rarely ever come across the same people.

Finally finished platinuming the PS3 version of PS All-Stars (my 5th platinum! 4th of the year!). What a great game! With the exception of Sir Daniel, all characters were fun to play as and had unique styles (except the two Coles, that was a strange decision...). I haven't played a Smash Bros game since the N64, so I don't have much to compare on, but I definitely hope to see some more PSASBR games in the future.

I'd think yes, since they're selling it on disc with 2 and 3.

This: (but.. you know, digitally).

I already got the Vita platinum! And I'm about 85% done PS3, just got a few storymissions to do and the online versus trophy. Depending on how long I have to work tomorrow, I could hopefully have it done then.

"Friendly Competition", you have to do a versus match against a friend.

Can anyone lend me 5 minutes of their time? I need to do a versus match on All-Stars to help secure my platinum on PS3. I'll let you win, but pretend I tried my hardest, so you can feel good about yourself!!

English Canadians don't matter, I suppose.

So how exactly do you set the 10% thing up if you have the Deluxe?

If you buy the PS3 version you get the Vita version for free. Which is interesting. My friend bought the game on PS3 for 60 dollars, downloaded the Vita version, finished the PS3 version, and then sold the blu-ray, and ended up saving more than he would have if he had just purchased the game on Vita.

I'd like to see it on the sides, but that's just me!

Gerbil, you are added! (My Nintendo ID was edited to the main post but it's the_cowboy_poet of course).

Does this count as beating a game?

If you add them through Miiverse won't it send them a notification?

Dean, any possibility of getting Wii U usernames below our postcounts like PSN and Gamertags?

AC3 was probably my favorite game of 2012 (I have yet to play through most of Dishonored). HOWEVER that said... in the early missions I found combat difficult, usually because I lost track of Connor, the fights were just too busy with too many enemies at once. That said, I do believe Ubisoft did a great job at improving combat, I'd always avoid combat in the Ezio games, but I really found myself enjoying it in AC3, once I got good at it. They also did a good job of taking that same system and putting it into Liberation. The thing with Liberation is some features, like whistling from hiding spots, is strangely missing.

At one point I just had to say "fuck it" to the AC3 full sync. However, Liberation, so far, has had really easy full syncs... most of the time I'd get it without even trying. Except for the one where you have to tilt the Vita to nudge the ball throw a maze and into a hole. That was singlehandedly my worst gaming experience of 2012. A tip to developers NO ONE, wants to do those types of minigames. No one wants to hold their system up to a bright light to solve a puzzle. I've had to do that in two separate games, and guess what, BOTH times there was no bright light near me. Using the touch screen to access menus, or gently moving the system to tweak aiming (like in Uncharted Golden Abyss) is fine. But shoe horning game mechanics that have no place in the game is BULLSHIT. FUCK!!! I need to go cool down.

Traded in my duplicate copies of various 360 games... Dragon Age, Fallout, Arkham Asylum, that sort of thing. Due to Black Friday (which is apparently a thing in Canada now) prices, I ended up getting almost 80 dollars in credit, so I picked up... With my left over credit I got... (It was on sale...).

GOW 1+2 are good, only problem is the cutscenes aren't in HD. Everything else looks great though, especially the second game.

I feel like I'm just scratching the surface with this game but a few early thoughts... I started off with Drake's storyline, who I enjoyed playing as. Then I tried Raiden... a million times better. Practice Mode is a good way to get trophies. People online are significantly better than me. Playing a free for all with three other people on the Vita screen is hard to do, other wise it's nice having the Vita option. I wish the game either shared a trophy list like Retro City Rampage or trophies carried over like Sound Shapes / MGS Collection.

Excel, good haul! I really want DQ6 but it's still 30 dollars everywhere :-\

Finally got my hands on PS All-Stars.
