Video games...what ya playing? And what are you looking forward to? (2 Viewers)

Assassin's Creed 1 >> Assassin's Creed 3 >>>>>>>> Assassin's Creed Revelations > Assassin's Creed 2 > Assassin's Creed Brotherhood - although the latter three need to be played in sequential order to be better enjoyed.It was still fun for me, but not as good as the previous games. I'd recommend to try.

Are you sure you don't have those inequalities reversed? I've never heard of anybody who like AC1 best in the series.

Damn, you're right. Can't believe I missed that. Strike that. Reverse it.

If it's a must have be in Walmart when they go 24hrs at 3 in the morning or whenever the trucks come in at your local store and you'll get a Wii U.

Nah. Wanted to get it for a family member but they can wait.

Should've said something a couple of days ago. Had a chance to get one yesterday, but I didn't want one for myself, yet.

There's a chance, but I'm not sure of when. Let's just say that when the chance comes, I'll know it before most customers do. (I work a 2nd job in retail.)

I don't own a game console and never really played a lot of games.I played Tomb Raider on my kids I guess about 15 years ago so its been awhile.I think Assassins creed 111 looks really cool.Can you play something like that on a laptop or would I need to go out and buy a console too? Thanks.

Assassin's Creed 3 launches on PC tomorrow. It will be available on Steam if you'd like to buy it right away. From what I've read, all of the patches will be included and up to date and the graphics looks much better than its X360 and PS3 counterpart. I recommend this method if your laptop meets the requirements.

Hey guys, I need some help with my next videogame move. I have an 8-year old son that as a result of the genetics that I passed onto him, has an affinity for video games like I did at that age. I bought him a Wii a couple of years ago however it crapped out 2-3 months ago and I just haven't done anything to try and replace/fix it (which is fine with his mom) up to this point. He gets plenty of gaming in on the computer and my iPad so his addiction is sated somewhat however he still keeps asking when I am going to get the Wii fixed.

I personally really never wanted the Wii because I thought it was too childish but it served its purpose in introducing gaming to a 6-year old and now I am thinking about moving him up to a big boy console like a PS3 or XBOX. His interest is primarily in sports games (any) and adventure/puzzle type games (the Lego games, Star Wars, Indiana Jones). He has been asking about the WiiU but I"m not really sure I want to go down that path again and would prefer to move up to something a little more advanced.

So....based on his/our likes, should I succumb to his wishes and go with the WiiU or make an executive dad decision and go with an XBOX or PS3? Any other qualifying questions will be answered if more information is necessary.

BTW, we do limit his gaming to weekends and an hour or two during the week after homework, sports, other activities so while he doesn't play a lot, it sometimes nice to use it as a babysitter..... :noflame:

 

[Andy Dufresne]

Isn't the Wii U more graphically advanced than the 360 or PS3? I think so.

Having said that, I think you'd like the 360 best.

My problem with the Wii has always been the unrealistic and stupid looking Mii figures in a lot of their games which is probably one of the reasons I am shying away from buying it again. I haven't really looked into the WiiU too much but it doesn't seem to have the "buzz" that a new console system should, otherwise I probably would know more about it.

They're still going to have that with some of the games developed in-house at Nintendo. But stuff like Madden, etc. I think should look lights out.

I couldn't be happier with my 360 but I'm sure I'd say the same if I owned a ps3. Microsoft has been doing a real good job IMO with adding new features and apps to xbox live, i.e. streaming presidential debates live, streaming the landing of mars rover, internet access, youtube, etc. and I'd bet it will only continue getting better. They recently released their first free 2 play game on xbl arcade and supposedly there are more to come. I don't really know anything about the playstation or Wii live features though, so I can't compare xbl to them. I couldn't imagine being unhappy with a 360 purchase.

 

[Andy Dufresne]

I have the 360, PS3, and Wii. If I had to choose only one that the family would use it would be the 360. There's a lot of downloadable games that kids in the 8 year old range would like plus then there's all the other games.

To address your original concerns, the Wii U is definitely more advanced than either the PS3 or Xbox 360 and offers play experiences neither machine can replicate... That won't be the case when their next gen machines come out, but if choosing between the three consoles that exist right now, it's not really a contest. Nintendo has also been pushing hard to shed that "gaming for kids" image and have a number of so-called "hardcore" titles either available now or scheduled for release. They're not shying away at all from blockbuster third party games and Mature-rated content from the looks of things. But at the same time they seem very focused, perhaps overly so, on providing a safe, friendly and fun gaming environment, especially online. They also have the best slate of exclusive family-friendly IPs, bar none. I think for someone with kids it's the clear choice.Yes the Miis are still around, and they still look pretty dumb, but not as bad as they did on the Wii, and when they're dropped into game action in Nintendoland it's actually pretty fun, IMO.

Obviously the software library for the Wii U doesn't compare to what's available on the other consoles. Your game choices would be pretty limited over the holidays. But it is backwards compatible with your Wii library and all your Wii accessories will work with the new system (including controllers).

If you're investing in a new gaming system, do you want to have a more powerful machine at the beginning of its life cycle, or six+ year old technology that is going to be replaced sometime in the next couple of years? Based on what I've seen out of the Wii U so far, it definitely looks like a system that will grow with your son as his tastes change over the next while and provide satisfying gaming experiences for both of you for years to come.

That's a great post and your point about the life cycle rings true. Don't take this the wrong way, but are you a Nintendo fanboy or would you tell me it's crap if it was crap? I'm ready to run down to Wal-Mart today and buy one after reading your post but want to make sure I'm understanding the "commitment" I would be making. Especially considering I probably won't be buying another console for a few more years. I'm making an emotional investment here!!!

I'm not exactly a fanboy but I do love Nintendo properties and many of their games. It's just a different approach to gaming that resonates with me as a child of the 80s/90s and as a parent. But if the Wii U truly sucked I would never recommend it to anyone. I've only played two games on it so far (Nintendoland and a $10 downloadable shooter called Nano Assault Neo) but both have exceeded my expectations. Nintendoland's various minigames give a glimpse of what sort of gaming will be possible when developers start really exploiting the gamepad hardware, and to me it's very exciting stuff.The only concern I would have with recommending it right now is that it's so soon after launch (three days!) and there are still bugs being worked out in the operating system. For me that has meant a menu is occasionally slow to load (it's gotten better since day one), but others have reported freezing issues. I've played mine for hours at a time, including all day Sunday, with zero glitches (and the console stayed nice and cool as well), but I am a little nervous with the sense that it could happen at any time. That said, Nintendo is aware of the problems, and says they are very rare and that they will have a fix soon. Also the battery life on the gamepad is not the greatest, requiring you to plug it in after a few hours, but you can continue to play while it's charging, or turn down the brightness on the screen to get some extra gametime. I assume higher-capacity batteries will be available soon also.

There's also the issue of whether to buy a Basic 8GB white model or the Deluxe 32GB version. I'd think if you want to play lots of downloaded content the Deluxe is the way to go, though for both systems an external hard drive will probably be needed eventually as even 32 GB is not that much. The Black deluxe model also comes with Nintendoland and a charging cradle and a 10% reward plan on download purchases.

I own an Xbox 360 as well and it is as good as sold at this point. I'd hate to be responsible for giving you bad advice, but as long as the few new system kinks are worked out soon, I can't imagine any way you or your son could be disappointed by the Wii U.

Just walked into a Target and bought a Wii U. Tried to buy the other 4 so I could flip them but they wouldn't let me. Guess that would be crappy karma anyways.

 

[belljr]

Interested in the Wii U user reviews. I read some not so good reviews about it recently. Buggy, load times, bricked consoles. The best thing is the tablet.

Not a hater - I have all 3 systems

 

[Leeroy Jenkins]

I'm not sure what the draw would be for a new wii. I feel like the original got some play at first an then collected dust for people.

Anybody play the new hitman yet???

 

[Premier]

Playing it now. Took an hour for everything to download. Nothing buggy. The nintendoland game is fun. Mario is Mario.

 

[IvanKaramazov]

I'm not sure what the draw would be for a new wii. I feel like the original got some play at first an then collected dust for people.

My thoughts exactly. I'd rather have the six year old technology with a big library of games than to roll the dice on the new Wii.

 

[IvanKaramazov]

Just finished the last episode of The Walking Dead. If you haven't played this one as the episodes have been released, you should definitely pick it up once it hits retail. Great point-and-click story-based game. Not a whole lot of replay value, although it would be kind of interesting to start over from the beginning and see how things are different if I had made other choices. Whatever it retails for -- I'm guessing $20 or so -- it'll be worth it.

Someone's gotta know this...

How do you extract the music files from an Xbox 360 game so that you can burn them to a CD?

 

[drpill]

Interested in the Wii U user reviews. I read some not so good reviews about it recently. Buggy, load times, bricked consoles. The best thing is the tablet. Not a hater - I have all 3 systems

Update: mine is running flawlessly, no crashes, menu load times are barely noticeable now and on par with other systems. Without question this is the best modern console I've owned (that includes 360 & PS3)

 

[NewlyRetired]

Just finished up Harry Potter Lego Years 1-4 last night to pick up the platinum trophy. Decent game coming in at just under 40 hours to get the platinum.

I am going to try the Xcom demo and see if that is something I might try next while awaiting the Mass Effect trilogy for the PS3.

 

[Andy Dufresne]

If you've been looking to get a PS3, now is your time - $200 at Best Buy and includes Infamous 1&2 and Uncharted 1&2.

That's a ridiculous deal.

Good god that is fantastic. Even if you have played the games or have no interest in them, you can sell them. I just checked and you should get close to $55 for selling these new on eBay. That means you could get a 250g brand new ps3 for under $150.

Damn.

 

[IvanKaramazov]

Apparently Amazon has some pretty good deals coming up tomorrow. At $25, there's no reason not to pick up Dishonored.

Tried a couple Wal-Marts yesterday for a Wii U as it was indicated on the website that the stores had them in stock. No such luck. I figured it would have been dynamic updating but that's not what the nerd at the electronics counter said (unless he was hoarding them for himself).

Really having to stop myself from buying a Wii U. Not sure why I want it other then the fact that it's new. When Zelda comes out I'll buy it for sure so not sure if I should bother holding off. What do you all think of it? Games worth buying right now?

Apparently Amazon has some pretty good deals coming up tomorrow. At $25, there's no reason not to pick up Dishonored.

Those deals are already going on. Ordered Dishonored for myself earlier this afternoon.

The Zelda mini game on Nintendoland has tons of content and is really fun.

Feel free to pick up a black WiiU for me and I'll pay you back.

Thanks.

#### it; I just bought dishonored, uncharted 3 and Arkham city goty edition for $70. Plus I bought Hitman Absolution yesterday with a $5 rewards card at best buy, and then they gave me a $10 gift card for some reason. I guess this spring I will take all my games and sell them to best buy and use the gift card on gta 5.

Lot's of great lighting deals today every hour. If you have not picked up XCOM this is your day to do so. GOTY IMO.

Leroy,

I picked up Hitman on release day as I am a huge fan of the series from last gen. I can say with confidence if you really like Metal Gear, Deus Ex Human Revolution and the previous Hitman games you will love the new Hitman.

Some hardcore fans are moaning and groaning about the liner nature of the new one....but it is not as liner as they say. It's a great well made game with super smooth controls, gorgeous CGI as well as graphics and just a lot of fun to play. There are numerous in mission challenges and so many ways to take out your target as well as other guys who get in the way (if you choose to dispose of them vs taking a pure slient stealth approach).

I love it - 8.75/10
