I'm probably gonna get the PS4 since, like I said in the gaming thread, Microsoft has really pissed me off with everything the XBone stands for.
As far as games go, the only ones I'm really looking forward to so far are inFamous: Second Son and Knack. That said, I'm not exactly willing to drop $500 on release day (console, a game, extra accessories) to have so few games I care about on the system. Not to mention, I just bought my Wii U and I need to focus on building a library for it first. Hell, I need to knock down my backlog quite a bit, but let's face it, that's not gonna fucking happen, either. EDIT: Forgot to mention that another reason for my hate on Microsoft is that it has come to light that they are, in fact, planning to gather unsolicited data from the Kinect and sell it to advertisers. What's that about respecting our privacy, Microsoft? Oh, you're not gonna do it after all? Fuck off! |

I decided I would pay Nintendo to allow me to play my three Wii Virtual Console games that have been updated and released on Wuu because I had a gift card that I needed to bleed the last of the funds from...
I played a bit of Kirby's Adventure and Legend of Zelda only long enough to see how they played on the new hardware and see what the hubbub behind the new Virtual Console was about. Pros: You can map the controls however you want as long as you're mapping to valid buttons. This means I can set LoZ's action buttons in a way that's comfortable for my modern game attuned muscle memory. Cons: Both the Wuupad and Pro Controller have absolutely shit D-pads. I'm not sure if it's because neither are broken in yet or if the hardware is shit this time around. Hopefully it's the former, because Nintendo was the god of good digital control in the old days. Now, the controllers just feel odd in my hands. If you've not seen either controller, allow me to describe them... The analog sticks are ABOVE face buttons, which is awkward as all hell. I don't like going DOWN from the stick to press a button or switch to D-pad movement. Hell, the way my hands fall on the pro controller is hardly conducive to pressing either the Y or B buttons, I have to reach rather uncomfortably far down to hit them. Nintendo, what the fuck happened? The Gameube controller was fucking brilliant! What has happened over the past few years? Has the dickstick that was the Wiimote so distracting to you that you forgot how to properly design a fucking controller? Yes, the Wii classic controller sucks, too. |

Posted by TrapsterYes it does. I have a classic controller pro, and I don't like it. The analog sticks don't have proper sensitivity.Posted by Trelior |

Yeah, the controller "worked," but its dead zone went "Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing... HOLY SHIT BREAK FREE WHIP AROUND!" which made aiming anything in a first-person perspective impossible. I can't do the shooting galleries in either of the N64 Zeldas because of this... On the original hardware, I could snipe from near outside the draw distance, but not on the Wii. |

I decided to give the WuuVC another shot with the gamepad tonight. I actually found the analog stick to give better digital feedback than the D-pad... What the fuck? I played all the way up to Level 8.
Posted by TrapsterNot particularly, no. |

I went out in the afternoon to pick up my copy of Pokemon X and Y, and sat down to play X like I had planned to.
I've dropped about nine hours into the game so far, and am surprised that I've only fought one gym leader so far and I'm not even close to the second. Sure, the next town is the next gym, but I have another route of trainers to slog through. So far, only two things annoy me: One, the Exp Share isn't an equip item anymore... It's a toggleable key item that functions like the Exp All from Red/Blue/Yellow, and I hate it. Two, the roller blades are a pain in the ass for minute movement. I wish I could set the control scheme I want, because I would rather be able to just run using the circle pad instead of holding B and using the D-pad. My team so far is: Kisuke (Frogadier), level 22 (Muramasa reference) Combusken, level 25 (Fuck not being allowed to name outsiders) Mothra (Vivillon), level 21 (Obligatory Godzilla reference, though I think Vivillon's more of a butterfly the more I look at him) Solar (Ivysaur), level 20 (Venusaur learns Solar Beam, sue me) Beatrix (Kirlia), level 20 (Final Fantasy IX reference) SaveTheQueen (Honedge), level 20 (Recurring sword name in JRPGs) Combusken, being an outsider (Mystery Gift DW Torchic), is why I hate the Exp |

Posted by GywallPosted by KPThat'll be hard. As Nicole said. Pokémon time! I think it's odd, they decided to drop "Version" out of the official title this time around. It's just "Pokemon X" and "Pokemon Y" I've been playing X, myself. Really enjoying it aside from the Exp Share being absolutely fucktarded and Steel losing resistance to Dark and Ghost. |

Posted by KP 718. GenVI is the smallest pool of 'mons added, though it completely flipped shit around by adding Fairy-type, which changed several Pokemon's types. So I guess that kinda counts as contributions.
GTA is overrated, imo. Fuck that series.
Possibly. |

Posted by TrapsterWhy is Bug-type important? Ziggy has Shadow Claw. Ghost is still Super Effective on Psychic. |

Posted by GywallWhy remove two resistances when it only gains one strength?Posted by TreliorI think that was to balance out the type chart slightly considering Steel's new advantages over the Fairy type. Honedge is surprisingly squishy given that it suffers every weakness both types have, which doesn't do it any favors given how slow it is. |

The horde battles are a bit underwhelming, if you ask me. Granted, the fact that the levels are cut in half is to prevent you from getting totally ass rushed, but the exp gain suffers from it.
So far, I've encountered hordes of Scraggy, Hoppip, Nosepass, and Yanma. |
