I recently decided it was time to connect my HDD to my Wii U for storage space, as I prefer digital to physical. I downloaded Darksiders 2 straight to the Wii and dear god that ate space up. For reference reasons I'm using a toshiba branded 500 gig HDD. After I plugged in and formatted the thing the Wii U started to act a bit wonky. It's taking ages to exit a game to console menu through the home button, it takes evolutionary periods to go from the console menu to the settings and some games take about as long as the rise and fall of the roman empire to even load up. These games aren't on the harddrive either, they're either on-disc or downloaded onto the Wii U. If that wasn't enough everytime I load up Darksiders 2 the game weirds out on me. I know Darksiders 2 is a bit buggy and glitch filled to begin with but this is just strange. When I trotted my little green horse out into the open world section half of the map was just gone. I figure maybe just part of the map hadn't "blimped" in yet and started to ride towards it. I hoped it would load or at least the textures might not have loaded. Nope, I fell. And fell. And fell. And finally, fell some more. Until I got off the horse where death promptly died and took me back to the tree of life. I rode out again and the process repeated. It was like bad shampoo. I unplugged the harddrive and everything runs fine.
Help me, Obi-Won.
