smurf might not be the biggest nintendo fan, but when you're calling no more heroes "awesome", you're desperate to justify buying the console either way.

IIRC he didn't buy it and didn't even want it. The fact that he still enjoyed some games on it is actually pretty shocking.

That aside, you can't say the GR game isn't good unless you've played it. Have you? By the way you post, you make it seem like you don't own and have probably never touched a 3DS. That makes you a very bad judge of the system's quality or the quality of its library.

Guys, I'm confused. What's all this talk about Ryan Reynolds having played Deadpool? I know he played a character that kinda looked like him and had the same name, but that wasn't Deadpool. We have no idea how well anyone would play Deadpool in a movie because that character has never been in one. Some cheap knock-off, sure, but not Deadpool.

Now if Deadpool were in a movie (other than an animated one), I think Reynolds could do alright. He's funny. Say anything else about him that you will, that's still true. And that's one of the most important aspects of Deadpool's character. And the guy is a fan of Deadpool, to boot. Assuming the writers weren't absolute ****, I bet he could deliver a decent Deadpool. I also have a hard time thinking of someone else that can do better that'd fit the part.

Take that article Ulti linked to. Of the comedians listed on his stars list, could even one of them make a believable Deadpool? No way in hell. Going off of memory the list has at least Sandler, Farrel, Carrel, Galafinakis, and Rudd, who are all known primarily for portraying certain types of funny guys (4 "dumb" comedians and one straight man), none of which even remotely resembles Deadpool in the least.

So maybe Ryan Reynolds might not be a "great" Deadpool if given the chance to play the character, but I can't think of any one who would. I mean, it's ****ing Deadpool. But he could be a decent one, and in terms of people with any modicum of name brand value (regardless of what a sports writer thinks a movie star is) there's not a lot of competition.

I know I'm late to the party, but I've never gotten the "it's 1/3 of a game" argument. It has as much or more content as the other Starcraft releases.

Also, the way they've handled it is nothing like Diablo 2 where they outright stated that they hadn't finished the game and the rest would be available in an expansion. Having played Diablo 2 (and LoD) more than any other game in my life, I remember just how much better the balance felt with the expansion. Going from beating Diablo to starting Nightmare the first time without the expansion was a *****. THAT was an incomplete game that sold unfinished content as an expansion.

SC2 is nothing like that. It's not like your campaign gets cut off before you beat the final boss and get your actual ending. You get a complete story, and you get a complete multiplayer experience. And for people that like the game, it's worth way more than the $60 they paid for it.

At this point I don't see Umineko losing as long as everyone plays by the rules. The people who haven't played aren't likely to because they are turned off by the general lack of gameplay, and the people who have aren't likely to vote anything else over it. Unless people start lying about playing it, it's pretty much got this contest locked up.

Yeah... not a vote in its favor yet and only 4 people have played it but not Portal 2. Doesn't really help that it was a DC game and that the ports weren't all that good. Still, I'm pretty sure if I played both the only way I'd vote for Grandia 2 is a pity vote. It was a good game, but not some masterpiece.

.....the most obvious thing that makes it joke worthy is the fact that you can't make a new model in a month.

Actually, it's not really a month. It's more like negative 4 months, since they used the US release date and not the Japanese release date. DSLite pre-dates the MacBook.

I've got a GeForce 9500, a card not good enough to appear on that Tom's Hardware list, and it runs everything I've tried to play well enough. Wait on a video card until you actually know that you need something better. Chances are you'll be able to run just about everything you want with the card they give you, and if you can't you can always pick up a new one later when, in all likelihood, they will be cheaper.

Of course the biggest reason I haven't played either is because I know what types of games I like, and I wouldn't be a huge fan of either. The games I have played are both top ten for me, hell, top 3, and would certainly get my vote even if I had played the other two. It's a shame that such a great game, my favorite of all time, was sent out to die to a "game" that you either love or wouldn't touch with a ten-foot poll.

If they're unopened, OoT will fetch a pretty penny.

Anyway, I love the games in 2D, but they really lost me when they went 3D. OoT was the last Zelda I liked, and I do so a bit begrudgingly. I'm guessing that you're not as much a fan of the older games, though, so if they're open you might as well check them out.

I actually have to agree with the conclusion to some degree. Mega Man platformers haven't passed a million sold since MMX, and have seen steady decline over time. The spinoffs hit their stride with the BN games and have also been going down from there. There just seem to have been too many years with too many new titles, not to mention all of the re-releases.

The Star Force games started off way better than Legends did, and they dropped really fast. If they have reason to believe that the game won't have stellar sales, and they do, they probably wouldn't put the effort into making it great themselves. In fact, that's probably why they went the fan approach - free labor. They need to back off a little bit, and trying to revive a spin-off that wasn't a huge success to begin with is not necessarily in the company's best interest. At least not now.

Maybe they don't need a hiatus as long as Street Fighter took, but there's been some definite overload. With Inafune gone now, it's time for a break.

I can't see TP coming to the 3DS. I'd sooner expect a 3D remake of the original.

You're just saying that to torture me. Dear god would that be awesome if it played like the original and such a tragedy if it played like any of the games from OoT onward. Give me a fixed, overhead camera view or I keep my money, Nintendo (not that I won't buy other stuff from them).

And if they make the hidden secrets as simple as (yep, there's the crack in the wall, blow it) it will in no way be a remake worth having.

Good play, Nintendo. Now when you release MM3D, which you're probably already working on anyway, it'll make the fans feel like they are listened to when there are "enough" of them. I imagine by end of gen It'll have WW and TP too, sorta like the Super Mario Advance games on the GBA.

With BC it's still more quality titles than the N64 or GCN.

if you're buying a new system entirely to play games you already own, something is wrong with you.

Or something's wrong with your old hardware. Or you sold it, but you still want to replay some of those old games.

There are so many N64 games that I loved at the time but couldn't go back to now. I have a hard time thinking of even one game I loved on the 'Cube (so disappointing). Wii, for all its flaws, still has games I'd enjoy playing now and quite a few of them.

I think you can show bare ass on TV without censorship, for that matter, given the country. Hell, I've watched Misftis twice now and I still can't quite wrap my head around the idea that t**s and f***ing got aired on TV in the UK. But is did. And I saw that after seeing a number of European ads that featured t**s, Good on you for the sexual liberalization, but damn your governments are excessively afraid of violence.

Nintendo

They get a lot of flack for the direction they've chosen, but I actually like it. Online play would be a nice option, but I never choose it even when it's given to me. Casual games last for about as long as I'm willing to play a game in general (though a few real gems can hold me longer, those have been few and far between the entire time I've been gaming). They also allow me to play with friends in person, generally. So Nice. Motion controls are also fun, so long as they work with the concept and don't get tacked on. If they do get tacked on, at least when Nintendo is involved it's pretty minor. I don't care for DLC and think it's pretty lazy to release games that aren't complete, so the lack of a hard-drive in the Wii was just fine by me. Not releasing those 3 RPGs I wouldn't have played kinda sucks, though, 'cause it'd be nice for other people to have a reason to not hate on Nintendo for a change.

Because Capcom is an outstanding company that makes great games that has come into some unfortunate bad press as of late.

In a month the internet will find a new company to flog for a while.

DLC on disc?
"Test" games on the Wii succeeding (RE4, RE:UC) with no follow up support?
Taking games in directions that abandon existing fans to try to capture audiences that never will be fans?
Releasing superior versions of games only a year after the games they completely overshadow and invalidate? At a lower cost?

Capcom has been crap for a long time now. This isn't really the result of unfortunate timing. It's a company with unfortunate business practices that has been gaining hate over a long time now. It has merely hit a fever pitch. They would not have done very well a week ago, or even a month ago. Capcom has been taking the p*** for a very, very long time now, and the only difference is that a few more people realize it now.

MS as whole, sure. MS in the video gaming world, no way. Also currently I see no way to argue that there is less hate for Acti. They are the single worst company in the business right now. They are trying to be the old EA while EA is now actually trying to treat their fans with a modicum of respect.
