TalkBack / Re: LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes Coming to Wii U, GamePad Exclusive Features

« on: February 26, 2013, 08:49:47 PM »

The Wii U version will most likely cost around that much, (but if you trade the PS3 version in and get only $30 that will be that much less you'd have to pay).

He said the PS3 version retails for $30, which means he will get at MOST $15 trading it in.

I am not sure they would be able to get away with charging $60 for it if the only addition is off-screen play since the game has been out on other systems since August and charging twice as much as the other versions is not worth it.

I hope this comes to the US, the game does look a little fun to me (I would be more than willing to pay $10-15 for it on the eShop).

I am not sure who will get this since the game is also on Wii, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3. But more games is never bad and off-TV play is nice.

I am not personally interested in the game, but I am happy it is coming to Wii U and the game does look pretty good. If a demo comes out for it on the eShop,I may check it out.

According to VGChartz it sold close to six million copies. It seems to be good enough, even in Nintendo's standards. Even if you don't put much faith in VGChartz numbers, they are good enough to establish that this game was a commercial success.

For future reference, don't use VG Chartz. They are well known for making up their numbers and are about as reliable as using a random number generator. The game has sold at least 4.97 million copies (as Nintendo confirmed that amount as of March 31, 2011).

BC Compatibility is not as cheap as you might think considering that Sony dropped it from the PS3 and they were still making PS2s...

IIRC, all that did was save them about $2 per system.That was hardly bankrupting them to keep it in.

Watched all 12 episodes of the first season and first 2 episodes of season 2 of Suits. I love the show, Harvey is such a great character. Rick Hoffman does a really good job in the role of Louis Litt, really making you dislike him.

Rare doing a AAA game? LOL, they haven't done a game that would be considered AAA (in quality or importance) since 2005.

They changed the balancing to what THEY wanted, that doesnt mean they fixed it. Melee had its own balancing problems (and Melee was full of glitches). Stuff like wave-dashing was not a feature, it was a glitch and Melee fans whined because it was fixed it Brawl.

« on: February 23, 2013, 10:06:45 PM »

I think the ability show what you are playing is a niche feature at best. Interesting that it has it, but very few people will ever use it (I would guess MAYBE 1% of PS4 owners) and not something the average gamer will use or have any interest in. I am sure those that do use it will do it a lot, but it's nowhere near as important as Sony thinks it will be (hell, they have a button the DualShock 4 dedicated just for it).

The most reliable reports say $430-$530 for the PS4, which is too high.

2 is a good movie, not as good as the first one but still good. All 3 are good, don't think I ever saw the cartoon (aside from clips of it included in the movie box set).

Just bought a copy of the full version of the original Wolfenstein 3D (which, oddly, according to the PCGamer disc that it's on, is rated E for Everyone.  I don't think that's right.).

It won't run on my Win8 Laptop.  Sadface.  Guess I'll have to figure out how to make it work, probably using DOSBox or something.

I remember last year I had a urge to re-play RollerCoaster Tycoob. It plays on my Windows 7 laptop, but the expansion pack Corkscrew Follies doesn't for some reason (the disc is fine, it just won't play with Windows 7). I don't understand why since the base game does work.

I felt like I read else where that this game could be multiplatform.

The game has been confirmed to be multiplatform for a long time, it's also coming out on Xbox 360

So my friends and I made home made Big Mac's the other day. Pretty easy to do and they actually really similar, just better. I just wish they didn't cost 3 times as much to get the ingredients and 5 times the time to make.

Not to mention you don't have the sandwich smothered with twice as much lettuce as meat (that is why I don't like the Big Mac, you open up the box and there is WAY too much lettuce on it; most food from McDonalds suck and they are the worst of the Big 3 fast food places).

Assuming you don't live in the United Arab Emirates, Jordan, or Lebanon, where the game is banned (even on Steam and PSN). LOL

Why is it banned? Did they miss the whole point of the game?

Apparently it's because Doha (the capital of nearbye Qatar) is depicted in ruins in the game. So the UAE's National Medica Council banned the game (in the UAE and nearbye countries), blocked the game's website, made it illegal for other countries to ship the game to people who buy it online, and also banned the online sale of the games (Valve doesn't offer it on that region's version of Steam and Sony doesn't have it on PSN there).

It's not. The developer who created it has only made that game (as far as my 10 second Google search told me) so I doubt they have the resources to go back to the game and port it. They are concentrating on a PS4 game, though.

Developer(s). One studio did the single player, another did the multiplayer. Yager Development (who did the singleplayer) also made a 2003 PC game called Yager. According to their website, Darkside Game Studios (who did the multiplayer) have worked on various games like XCOM: Enemy Unknown. BioShock 2, and the Claptrap's New Robot Revolution DLC for Borderlands.

They already look fine, but there isn't a chance in hell I would pay $1,500 for it like they are charging. $100 is pretty much the max I would pay.

Worse balance? LOL. And the random slips were really rare (and had little impact on matches).
