Topic: Need for Speed Most Wanted U: It's deserves your purchase!

[Seacor]

I see Mike Sklens and Berto2k up in the Origin Hizzay. Who else is online with NFSMWU?

I'll be purchasing this as soon as I get an external hard drive for my Wii U (hopefully in the next couple of days).

[BlackNMild2k1]

I traded my copy of NFS:MWU back to Target and then ordered it from Origin instead.

now I have to wait till next week at the earliest to try it out

[Caterkiller]

Man what do I do? Get the Origin discount and get a few more games through target? Or one less game all through target? I want Lego, NFS, Castle Vania(sp?), Darksiders, Batman and Ninja Gaiden. But I certainly dont need them all at once. Lego and NFS for sure but I really don't know how I want to go about this.

[ShyGuy]

Lego and Batman are $50 each at Target, add Castlevania for free to save $40.

NFS is $30 at Origin, and will take a week to get there, so it's spaced out a little bit.

Darksiders is on sale for $20 at Best Buy so get that there.

so $150 and you get FIVE games.

[Retro Deckades]

HOLY EFF! $20 for Darksiders II?


SIGH. Can't ever find deals like that at places like Best Buy up here in Canada.


Anyone want to pick one up and ship it to me? I can Paypal the money!

Sweet, thanks Cater! Let me know if you have any luck! I can link you to my eBay account if you'd like some references.

Feelin your pain, bro

[Soren]

Just bought it from Origin. $30 + free shipping is insane. (I've never had free shipping to Puerto Rico). This is sweet.

I suck at this game. I've seen the crash cam too many  times

Isn't that what's fun about it all?  I sucked when I first started playing Burnout Paradise.  As you play more and get better and stronger cars, you'll see less and less of the crash cam.

My sad tale:
Queued this up for $30 purchase from Origin today. Ran out of time. Went back two hours later (after my meeting), no longer on sale.

That is sad.

Sorry.  Time to go to Target and buy three games if you can find them.

Not in Canada it isn't, but I appreciate the suggestion.

Just got my copy, updating as I post. It was a mission trying to get this game, I went to three Gamestop's before I found a copy, and all of the stores I went into was the same story, they only received one copy of the game due to low demand. I don't know if that's true, but that is what the people working at the store told me.

[Seacor]

I don't know folks.  I don' t think this game is playable.

Downloaded (to system memory) from eShop last night.  I have played on and off for about three hours today and the game keeps randomly crashing with a loud buzzing sound.  The only way to reset the console is to pull the Wii U power cable.  This has happened to me four times now.

First game crash: Exiting the in-game Miiverse posting
Second game crash: Randomly driving through the city
Third game crash: Launched game and after pressing + or touchscreen to start - it crashed during the game loading screen
Forth game crash:  During a race (non-multiplayer)

The fact that a crash may happen during a race, makes this game unplayable as you lose your progress/stats during that race and of course have to start over AND have to pull the Wii U power cable to reset.

I posted on the EA tech support forums about this big issue. Hopefully a community manager will respond.

This needs a patch and ASAP!

So what you're saying is that it's selling out almost everywhere?

[Louieturkey]

Seacor, this is the first time I've heard of this.  Are you using system internal memory or an external HDD?  If external, does it have its own power source or is it using the USB port to power it?

I heard of a couple other people online having crashes, but it has been smooth for me. Out of curiosity, is your system resolution set to 720p or 1080p?

I think it was under ordered. The first Target I went didn't get any in stock, and the second Target only got three.

It's showing on sale for me: http://store.origin.com/store/ea/en_US/DisplayProductDetailsPage/productID.251734800

Is this a Canada thing?

I downloaded to system memory (I have deluxe 32GB Wii U console) and have 11 GB available.  I have not purchased a USB hard drive yet.

1080p

Just for grins, why don't you try setting it to 720p and see how it behaves? I've heard of some people having peformance issues at 1080p
