I have a wii u so im already in the NEXT GEN

get on my level

As for the Wii U, the specs are currently better than both the Xbox 360, and the PS4. The only thing is, the specs are only a small bit over both the consoles. The next-gen consoles of the both the PS4 and Xbox One shatter the Wii U’s specs by an extraoidinary margin. Yes, the Wii U is technically next-gen, but with the release of the next consoles of both Sony and Microsoft, the Wii U will definently be lacking in the department of power.

I am not hating on the Wii U, in fact, I rather enjoy the system. But as far as keeping up with the next consoles of Microsoft and Sony, it will be left by a large margin comparing the specs.

Topic: Off-topic / Have you ever sued or tried to sue someone?

I once tried to sue a dragon in Skyrim for killing my horse, but I realized it was not an actual feature. Sigh.

I was once lawyer in Skyrim, then I took a “You can’t handle the truth” to my ego.

As for that last sentence, all I have to say is, POW right in the kisser.

Just sayin’, it is possible to turn the share button off. As for the touch screen, I believe it will be an interesting way to play games. I just hope that the touch screen doesn’t come off as too gimmicky.

Okay, I do wish that they gave the viewers more closer looks at more games and the actual power of the Xbox One. I do like the system and it’s specs, as well as its casing. But, the PS4 does appear to have more RAM compared the the Xbox One. I do in fact like the use of the Kinect with the Xbox for voice recognition, but I hope that it does not, as with the PS4’s Controller touch pad, come off as too gimmicky. Either way, E3 will definently be the turning point in the Next-Gen Console battle in a few weeks. Both companies better bring their best if they hope to win it.

As for me, I need to get a bit of information from both parties in order to actually decide which console gets my money.

Topic: Off-topic / Do smartphones have any money-draining "traps"?

If you have an Android smartphone, you can go to the settings, click on the More tab, go to Usage, go to IT’S settings, and put a data limit on your phone.(Btw, this is from my HTC OneX). It has helped me with my smartphone data and would probably help you. If you are getting an Apple product, I’m not 100% sure if you can do it on them. Hope this helps you.

Almost all military shooters have the same basic controls, and I wouldn’t say they are stealing gameplay from one another. Then, about the weapon crafting. There are many games that use this same generic format, not just Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts. Games like Ghost Recon: Future Soldier uses a similar format, as do many other games. Not shattering your opinion, I’m just saying that maybe you shouldn’t base a game’s review on another game.
In other news, a new Super Smash Bros. is in productions. xD

If you got this mad about a review on the internet, you must be super sensitive lol

Actually, I’m not mad at all, I’m just stating the justice of video games. :P Plus, your statement kinda made me cry. Jk… it didn’t. xD

Topic: General Gaming / The Walking Dead - Short Version

The Walking Dead the Game is truly epic. The ending is very emotional and, honestly, I can’t wait for Season 2 of the series. :D SPOILER ALERT There is an ending after the credits, and it is such a cliffhanger. But, it sets up Season 2 perfectly.

Topic: General Gaming / Hilarious deaths in gaming

In Mass Effect 2, while you are on Samara’s loyalty mission, you meet a Volus who is using “Red Sand”. He claims that he is the “Greatest biotic ever” and he is a “god compared to all of the humans in your group”. You can either tell him to try and kill the person you are looking for or tell him to sit down and keep calm. If you tell him to attempt to kill the target, he runs in and throws a VERY (and i mean VERY) weak biotic throw. The throw hits the target’s nose and makes her head go back about half an inch. The target gets mad and as the Volus is walking off proudly, the target throws an INSANELY powerful biotic throw, throwing the Volus across the room, instantly killing him. It is one of the most epically hilarious deaths in Mass Effect 2.

Actually, it would be best if you left Grunt with the defenders of the door. Otherwise, you could lose Mordin (The scientist) or anyone who is too weak and not well-armed enough to keep themselves alive during that section of the game (Tali, Legion, etc.) if your defenders aren’t very well stocked with powerful fighters. On my first play through, I took hard-hitters like Garrus and Grunt with me to destroy the Human Reaper. This caused Mordin to be killed while defending the door. If I were you, I’d take people like Tali and Legion with you to take out the Human Reaper. It may make the boss fight tougher for you, but it’ll ensure that your entire team survives.

Topic: General Gaming / The Walking Dead: The Game (A TellTale Games Productions) Discussion Thread

Over the past 7 months or so, TellTale Games has released a five-episode game series of The Walking Dead on Xbox Live Arcade, and Playstation Network. The game puts you in the shoes of Lee Everett, a convicted murder who’s trip in the back of a police car to prison, turns to a full-scale journey of survival, responsibility, and choices. The game is an interactive-adventure game that has you making quick choices, in which the choices can, and will, have deadly effects on the rest of the people you know, and yourself. As you adventure, you come across a girl, named Clementine. After a series of events, you are now responsible for this little girl. Your actions in all five episodes will decide her fate: Whether she will survive, or if she will die. You will meet many interesting characters and face many deadly “Walkers” (Zombies). You can speak of what choices you made during the course of the series, and share your experience. Note: The game is 2000 Microsoft Points, or $19.99 on Playstation Network.
WARNING:
This thread WILL contain major spoilers, it is highly recommended that you play the game series before scrolling down any lower.

Topic: Off-topic / I Got The Wii U

I’m actually impressed with the Wii U. Nintendo was finally able to make the huge leap from last-generation graphics, to current-gen (Which is a huge accomplishment for Nintendo). I’ve actually played the Wii U and I have to agree that the gameplay is rather good and the controls fit well and feel smooth and natural. Also, give the Wii U time, I believe that after a while on the market, Nintendo will be able to have even more third-party developers even though they do have some pretty decent games as launch titles (Lego City Undercover, Mass Effect 3 [I’m still wondering why they didn’t release the trilogy on the Wii U], and even Assassin’t Creed 3, etc.) In my opinion, the Wii U can and most likley will be a smashing hit. That is if people would stop being so skeptical and give it a chance and actually play the thing. So, i applaud you for getting the Wii U.

Topic: General Gaming / Black Ops 2: The most major dissapointment in video games.

Honestly, I blame the disapointment on your PC. The game isn’t half-bad, in fact, i think it’s one of the best Call of Duty’s yet. The lagginess is MOST LIKELY do your computer’s graphics card. If you want to play PC games at their best, I recomend getting an actual gaming PC. Gaming PC’s have the best technology, in terms of graphics and power, so I would recommend getting yourself one of those. Then, the skipping cutscenes is completley doable, a little notification should tell you that a certain button (key) skips the cutscene. Wait, if it’s an in-game (The player is in control) cutescene, of course it won’t be able to skip, but if it’s an actual cutscene(You’re just watching) you should be able to skip it. Lastly, yes, Nuketown Zombies and Nuketown 2025 are two completley different things. So, the game isn’t bad at all, just blame it on your computer’s graphics card.

Topic: General Gaming / Good storyline games

Without a doubt, I would have to say Alan Wake. That game has so many twists and turns and it makes you think about the story. In order to understand the ending, you must have payed attention during the course of the game, and you must understand everything that has happend. It is an awesome game, I recommend you check it out. :D

Topic: General Gaming / MW3 vs BF3

I play both of these games, but for each, a different reason.
Most of the time, I play Call of Duty for the fun multiplayer.
The Call of Duty franchise has quick-paced, lone-wolf, guerilla style warefare.
Call of Duty also has a heavily over-looked single-player campaign, which I enjoy playing.
The Battlefield series has always had one emphasis, Multiplayer. When I am up and ready for some team-based, yet quick-paced, heavily-tactical warefare; I play Battlefield.
Also, I played the Battlefield campaigns, but honestly, the story was very hum-drum. But, the actual gameplay and action of the campaign was a fun experience and I enjoyed it. But still, a solid, and very fun, multiplayer is the main reason to play both of these games. Both of these games are great for one reason or another, but on a head-to-head scale, I would definently say [Connection to Internet lost…] [ Attempting to reastablish connection…] [Connection reastablished…] And I hope this finally settles the debate.

Topic: Off-topic / You can have any one device from any video game

I would have to say the Omni-Tool from the Mass Effect Trilogy. I would love to have the one from the third game, since it has the ability to whip out a blade. This tool would be extremely helpful, since it can pretty much do anything. It allows people to hack electronics, kill, have appications, and play “a fascinating human game, called Solitaire.” (If you do not get that reference, play Mass Effect 2). Lastly, i mean come on, it just looks hardcore. xD

Topic: Off-topic / Which instrument do you consider to be the hardest to learn how to play?

Definently, the air guitar. I mean seriouslly, so many notes to learn. lol :P
I have to say a stringed instrument. I play trumpet, but it seems a stringed instrument is the hardest for me to play.

Topic: General Gaming / Another Fallout or Elder Scrolls

I would have to say Fallout, I love the series. Plus, you have both close quarters combat (Ripper, Super Sledge, ect.) and a lot of long range (Tons of guns, Grenades, Missle Launcher, ect.) and you have access to TONS of skills. Theiving (Lockpicking), Electronics (Science), and lots of perks for guns and whatnot. The only thing is that I hope, if they make a new Fallout, that they raise the level cap, I reached the max in no time. Now, I have nothing against the Elder Scrolls, in fact I enjoy them (Except for the spiders xD). It’s just that Fallout seems to have more possiblities and more options. The Elder Scrolls is a great series and I hope they continue to make it. Whichever comes forth first, I’m sure everyone will enjoy. Elder Scrolls VI or Fallout 4 will be great games that I, and many others, will look forward to.
