@usmc the battlefield beta is quite fun. If you know of where to get any last minute destiny alpha codes (wishful thinking) let me know [/quote]
Sorry, I don’t.
@usmccds423 those pics look like Battlefield and Mass Effect had a baby and named that baby Destiny. What is the gameplay like?

Yeah getting a mad for gaming is an impressively stupid move. My bro is going to school for like graphic design/video and photo editing stuff so that’s why he got a Mac. I’m just looking to take advantage of the fact I can possibly play the witcher 2 after hearing about it for years.

Yeah I understand I was just fucking with ya. Im sure with his setup the graphics won’t lack but speed of play might. Honestly its cheap enough on amazon to pull the trigger and hope for the best. If not you can always wait for The Witcher 3 which will also be for consoles. [/quote]
Yeah I’m really pumped for that game to come out. Looks amazing. I know that the old star wars knights of the old republic game will run on his Mac. Def buying that for $10. I loved that game on the original xbox

It’s hard to describe the gameplay. It’s a solid mix of Halo, Borderlands, and Call of Duty I’d say.
I’ll do a write up once I’ve played it a little longer.
I think I’ll be able to upload video also, but I’m not 100% sure yet.

All you have to do is play Mario Kart 8 and you are blown away. With at least 3 - 4 first party games being released each year, I will have enough to keep me more than happy.
Playing Super Mario 3d World has been unreal, me and my friend have been doing co-op and crying with laughter every single night this week.
I’ve actually had to eat my words regarding how lame the Wii U is, it’s actually impressed me more initially than either the 360 or PS3.[/quote]
I’m really tempted to get a Wii U right now and get that Mario Kart bundle. My only one complaint about Nintendo is what happened to the Metroid franchise!?!? The Metroid Prime games were some of the most awesome games they had for the Gamecube. They came out with Metroid Other M for the Wii which was just OK in my opinion. I realy think they should come out with another one with the style of Prime or maybe a more old fashioned style and have it come out on the 3DS.

Nice! Super Metroid is up there as one of my favorite all time games. Metroid Prime 1 is also really really good.

If Nintendo were smart they would release a Metroid All Stars game for 3ds and Wii U that has the original two games + Super Metroid but with HD graphics.
Still can’t decide what was my favourite trailer of E3 - between MGS V, The Last of Us and Dead Island 2.
The Last of Us Remastered one was so well edited, so much so I may actually pre order a PS4 bundle with it lol.
Game trailers without actual gameplay footage always seemed pointless to me… to the point where the game seems like it has very little gameplay (boring) and I lose all interest.

I find that they can be cool to get me psyched up about a game I know I’m already buying. But you’re right they can be very misleading or at the least reveal almost nothing about the game itself. My brother and I were just talking about how game trailers are starting to become more like movie trailers. I could be mistaken but it seems that the addition of a song (eminem for call of duty, new battlefield trailer music) to enhance a trailer is quite new.
I’ve got a good boss battle video to upload still. Probably tomorrow.
So my old roommate came to visit me this weekend and brought his WiiU with him. Spent about 20 hours playing this weekend. We beat Mario 3d Worlds (including the bonus content), played a good amount of Mario Kart 8, and I tried out Wind waker.
3d worlds was a lot of fun. Graphics were pretty awesome and the game play itself was what I expect from a Mario game. The new cat suit power was a nice touch. Definitely a ton of content and would be fun to replay. I like the coop aspect. Battling for the crown provided some extra entertainment.
Mario Kart 8 was one of the most fun games I have ever played. More characters, customized rides, more maps. Pretty much an amazing improvement on an already awesome game.
I only played a little bit of wind waker. From what I played I can definitely see me liking it. My friend said it is his favorite zelda game to date.
Overall after this weekend I am heavily considering picking up a WiiU. I already decided that I won’t get a ps4 or xbox one because I can just get their games on the PC. Definitely opens me up to possibility of picking up my first Nintendo system since the gameboy advance.
Wind Waker was definitely the best GameCube game and probably my 4th favorite Zelda. Is there any new content for Winder Waker on WiiU?
Good, good. The Nintendo virus is spreading.
As far as I know there is no extra content with Windwaker, the gamepad makes the game a lot easier though with treasure hunting maps and such.
I would implore everyone to get Rayman Legends on any console, was playing it yesterday and it is outrageous!
Something tells me the wife is not gonna be cool with me buying yet another console in the span of 8 months…
Any truth to the rumor Nintendo will have another console to launch in the next year or 2?

I wouldnt have thought so.
Abandoning the wii u prematurely would be a terrible decision for them to make.
The hardcore Nintendo fans would be left with a $350 console with no support after only 2-3 years. Owners would be burned bad. No one would trust them with future purchases.
