Gimme Gimme Games writes about the six games that the Wii U may need to be taken seriously by hardcore gamers who have given up on Nintendo in the past.
Titles range from Grand Theft Auto V to the next big project from Ken Levine. Would these games make you take a Nintendo console more seriously if you weren't a fan of Nintendo systems in the past?
The GTA 5 Agent Trevor DLC episode could have been a real treat for fans on PlayStation and Xbox, before it was scrubbed sometime before 2017.
With the amount of money they generated, I just don’t understand the scrubbing of this. It would’ve been fantastic for fans.
I really want to know who drove the decision to focus on multiplayer was it Rockstar or take two.
Because when online started taking off many of the studio leads began having falling outs and leading including a founder
One of the reason I believe once gta 6 release, most of us thoroughly play it, enjoy the world they crafted then after that no offline support, no dlc at all
Hanzala from eXputer: "The cruel hammer of Nintendo has fallen. Farewell, 3DS and Wii U, you surely brightened my life and many others; you won't be forgotten."
Hanzla from eXputer inquires: "If Xbox can care about preserving its games and legacy, what exactly is wrong with Nintendo, trying to kill game preservation single-handedly?"
Ahh yes the good old game preservation of saving all your games to a removable hhd on the Xbox 360, taking it round your mates house, setting up multiple tvs to
Be met with “save data corrupted, please re download”
Or how about removing 360 games
From the store
, download them now or else, and, better hope to god that save data doesn’t corrupt, or it’s lost for ever
Nice one ☝️
This is just a scammy PR move to distract from the fact they are going digital only and trying to push streaming and subscriptions only.
No gaming company has pushed harder to remove ownership than Microsoft.
Without discs there is no preservation, preservation can't be done by the rights holders it can only be done by the consumers, anything else is a lie.
Nobody wants this. Sales or the lack of it in the case of XBOX is very telling. I wonder how the adorably all digital series X will fare. Adorably dismal perhaps?
Only time will tell, but for from someone like me suspecting that Xbox is trying to gracefully exit the console market, that "forward compatibility" team is trying to get Xbox games playing on Windows PCs. I mean, it's nice that they're not planning on exiting with a "enjoy your games while the hardware still works" message, so that's nice. They still have a brand to protect via Microsoft so probably feel obligated to have a better exit strategy.
The term "hardcore gamer" has been stolen and perverted by immature broke-ass fanboys who only bother to play M-rated titles with a critic rating of 90 or above on Metacritic.
A real hardcore gamer (if we simply MUST use that ignorant retarded term) is someone for whom gaming is their primary hobby, regardless of preferred genres or platform(s).
This real HARDCORE GAMER (of 24 years) takes the Wii U seriously, so much so that I paid for my Deluxe Set in CASH IN FULL the first day it was available for pre-order.
This author is a moron and is desperate for hits.
These are great and all but for me I want to see Nintendo do something that has a story with mature themes and tones and preferably a new ip.
I can't disagree with this but I do think the Wii U will offer a great gaming experience for everyone.
While I would love to see all these game on Nintendo platforms, I think the Wii U doesn't have to prove anything anymore, by this point, only fanboys in denial criticize the console.
Its really stupid to label yourself a "hardcore gamer" IMO. I've been playin videogames since the Sega Genesis and I've beaten numerous games and I've put in my fair share of time with those completed games. Am I a hardcore gamer? No. I'm just a gamer, and a gaming enthusiast. I don't care what games you play if you play em then your gamer. The sense of nerd entitlement over videogames is a joke, even for a self-proclaimed nerd like myself LOL. How silly is it that were even discussing what entertainment to "take seriously" cmon now. A game doesn't have to be taken seriously or have an M-rating with guns all the time, it just needs to be a well-made game no matter the genre. That's how I see it anyway, to each his own.
