A couple thoughts on the new Mario Kart 8. So far my fiance and I are enjoying it, though the option to automatically drift from the Wii version seems to be gone, which was a big help for her (I've tried to explain drifting to her but she just doesn't get it, keep in mind outside of this and Pokemon she does not game). The fake ? block seems to be gone, which is good, I don't think anyone has ever been fooled by that. Blue shells don't seem as common in the Wii version, but they're still there, the horn is nice but the amount of times you actually get a horn in first place are few and far between. Voice chat between friends during online races would have been great. I don't understand what they were thinking getting rid of battle arenas, that was dumb. The character roster also sort of sucks, it's half babies and Bowsers kids. Do we really need Rosalina AND Baby Rosalina? No, no we do not. Seems like this would have been a good opportunity to have some other Nintendo characters in the game, like 'toon Link. Oh, and they totally fucked the N64 version of Rainbow Road. The race starts, I go down the hill, and jump off the side to land on the far part of the track, and as soon as I'm off the track I get carried back on to where I started from. I don't know if jumping off the track there was an intentional shortcut or not on N64 but everyone did it, and now it's gone. I would have tried again on the second lap but they set it so you only have to do one lap, because god forbid a race be more than 3 minutes nowadays. My biggest disappointment is that if you're playing two player (couch, not online), and one person has the gamepad, you can't set it so one player uses the gamepad and one uses the TV. This seems like a huge wasted opportunity, and finally a reason to some what, sort of, justify the gamepad.

So I totally forgot about the Wii U Deluxe Digital Promotion, but since I got Pikmin 3 digitally for free last night, that 60 dollars still counted towards my points total. I wouldn't have even thought about it but I saw a thread about it on another message board, and lo and behold, the 599 points from Pikmin bumped me past the 500 and 1000 point barriers. Basically meaning I got two 5 dollar activation points. So I used that money, and the remaining credit on my account to buy:

I love all these vague or obvious E3 rumours. An exclusive game from Microsoft?! Oh shit no way! A new Red Dead? Woah!

I honestly don't see a meaningful difference between first party games and paid-for third party exclusives. Either way you're paying for a game to be exclusive to your platform.
-
Imho, the difference lies in whether they're paying for the game to be made or paying for the game to not release on the competing platform. For example, Capcom probably would've made Dead Rising 3 at some point, regardless of Microsoft throwing money at them. It's "make this for us" (think Nintendo bankrolling Bayonetta 2, a game that would otherwise never have happened) vs "fuck the other guy's customers".
Basically, I take issue when their money c...

Yeah he really does look like a sex offender. Some of those problems should be fixed with patches, maybe. Hopefully Ubi will do to Watch Dogs with Watch Dogs 2 what they did to Assassins Creed with AC2.

I am so bummed out that PJ Shooter isn't cross-buy. Would've loved to get the Vita version from this.
Terraria is cool, though. I didn't care for the controls in the demo so I was never going to buy it. But free? Sure, I'll play it.
-
Nvm, looks like it is!
-
Good catch, FLD. Damn, that's FOUR Vita games. The age of Vita truly has begun!
-
Watch Dog reviews aren't as bad as I thought. The nerds are still pissed off though.

Yeah, I had a feeling it was being treated way too optimistically for a game that showed very little evidence of doing anything that special. "Good" is fine with me though. I'm early in, but it seems solid enough with the exception of some horrendous AI in public areas.
-
From what Ive heard it has a lot of content, so at least itll last you a while. I just find it hard to be excited about open world/sandbox games. I know people love them, but they all feel too samey for me. Honestly, no one can top GTA5 so I feel like its a waste to even try. Thats why I don't mind stuff like Infamous, Assassin's Creed or even RDR. Theyre kind of trying the same thing, but their gameplay focus is entirely different. On the other hand, GTA, Far Cry, Just Cause and Sain...

I would still play it, but I dunno if I want to drop 60 bones on it.

Now is their chance

The Wolverine is "good" not great, but good. RANKING IT BELOW X3?! COME ON, DAN, COME THE FUCK ON. THAT'S CRAZY TALK. X3 KILLED THE LEADER OF THE XMEN (besides Xavier) OFF CAMERA. THAT WOULD BE LIKE AVENGERS 2 KILLING CAPTAIN AMERICA, OFF CAMERA. Jesus.
-
Another problem with DoFP is BDH: I keep meaning to watch that! Good to hear you enjoyed it.
-
I will now rank the X-Men films. My ranking is fact, not opinion. 1) Days of Future Past 2) First Class 3) X2 4) The Wolverine 5) X1 6) X3 7) Wolverine Origins (even though my best friend from college was a pretty notable extra, the tall blonde guy Wolverine rescued at the end of the film, that still can't save the film from being garbage)
-
Yeah I suppose. Hopefully we get some sort of continuation from the future timeline as well. EDIT: Apparently Apocalypse will have both past and future again, according to writer Simon Kinberg: Source
-
X-Men Days of Future Past Aweeee fuck that was the X-Men movie I always wanted. I didn't stay for the post-credits scene, this theatre always turns it's lights on and brings in the cleaning people, not matter how many people are sitting waiting for the post-credits scenes. But I caught it via YouTube. That was OK but probably meaningless to normal folks.
-
Is the post credits scene a true post credits scene or is it a mid-credits scene? Cause I'll stick around for a mid-credits scene but fuck waiting till the end of the credits. Hopefully I'll see this tomorrow.... hopefully. EDIT: Talking X-men, of course.

Minecraft is coming to Vita, cross-buy and cross-save with the PS3 version, this August. Also coming to PS4, which is half-cross-save (meaning the saves will go to PS4 and become larger, but can't shrink down to go back) 5 dollar upgrade fee.
-
That was a "gameplay" video?

THIRTEEN!?! Jesus Fucking Christ. This dude wasn't even born when the PS2 came out. Dude was a baby during 9/11. When I was his age, he wasn't even born. THIS IS CRAZY. Welcome, I guess.

I knew about some of those but...... No Bronn! WHY!!!

Fixed!

What?

This looks terrific. If you haven't watched season 1 and 2 of Arrow and you like live action super hero movies, give your head a shake and get on it. Now!

How are you liking it? The reviews are pretty mediocre ("this is the worst version of BL2!" - no shit?) but people on GAF seem to like it.
