sounds too much like "the time is now, Playstaion Now".

they should get a better slogan

pcz3912d ago

they need new games, not new slogans. good games too

Neonridr3912d ago

pretty sure there are plenty of good games, but if you want to act like there are none..

Do Wii U commercials even show on TV? Since it's launch, I have never seen a commercial on tv for it. Granted, I rarely watch tv, just curious. I just figure if they did plenty of advertising on tv, I'd hear more people talking about it

RSKnight3912d ago

I watch TV almost daily and can tell you that since Wii U's launch I've seen a Wii U commercial only ONCE. And Nintendo wonders why it doesn't sell. I still remember Wii commercials everywhere with the two japanese guys arriving to a random house in a white/blue Smart and saying the words "Wii would like to play". I don't understand why Nintendo didn't try something like that again with the Wii U, that was a great marketing campaign.

I Have NEVER seen a Wii U commercial. I see Xbox one commercials constantly, and occasionally a Ps4 commercial like the diablo and destiny ones. Nintendo REALLY needs to step up on the marketing

slivery3912d ago (Edited 3912d ago )

I question how many people actually watch TV anymore, because everything I watch is on the internet now. I can't stand TV, so many god damn commercials and it cost more than it does to have internet for a bunch of crappy channels you never even watch.

I do know Nintendo had a lot of commercials for the Wii U on the web, Hulu aired Wii U commercials non-stop for a long while with NSMBU, Lego Batman and Just Dance.

I think the problem with that though it wasn't advertised well really because they showed nothing but kids with the NSMBU and Lego Batman commercials and then for the Just Dance commercial they showed grandmas dancing. They didn't bother advertising any of their better games or more mature games.

I just think when you are trying to sell a product it is good to appeal to as many people as possible not just grandmas and kids. Games like Just Dance and Lego Batman don't really appeal to a huge audience and for NSMBU they could have shown more people enjoying the game other than kids with their parents.

Regardless it was poorly marketed, I just know they tried in other venues than cable television and I think at least that was a smart move but a wasted effort on their behalf.

DC7773911d ago

Actually true no point in arguing lol. I wish it weren't.

Why Dark Souls 2 Deserves a Second Chance in 2025

As difficult and frustrating as it is, people should consider reliving the Dark Souls 2 experience, especially because of what's coming to the game.

Many of those who hate Dark Souls II hate it because it's not Dark Souls. The same people love Dark Souls III because it isn't Dark Souls II.

And so many of the issues at the centre of common complaints about DS2 are present in DS3 and sometimes even DS1. The hatred and bile spewed over this perfectly decent game is ludicrous.

I don’t think it’s a terrible game, but like a movie sequel by a different director, for me, it does NOT capture any of the “magic” felt from the Miyazaki entries. Boss battles don’t feel epic, environments don’t have the same sense of awe, the enemy variety isn’t particularly interesting, the art direction just feels bland, about the only thing I can give it praise for is some of the music.

Now, again, this is only how I feel about it, so I’m not trying to invalidate his you feel about the game, but it is the worst entry in the series due to those factors and it’s the least re-visited entry, for me.

Is it decent as a game on its own? Sure. But in comparison to the Miyazaki entries, it does not stack up and I believe that’s where many were disappointed with it.

PrimeVinister3d ago

Completely fair. I cannot disagree either, mate.

MrWood3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

You can also play it in VR flawlessly on PC & controller with the LukeRoss mod so… another reason to jump back in with extra immersion.

jznrpg3d ago

It’s not a bad game it’s just not as good as the others

Shadow Man2d ago

The controls felt very clunky to me, I tried playing it after beating Darksouls 3 and it didn’t feel fluid, obviously the hit detection is less superior for been an older game.

Immediately thought of the El Dorado zombie dudes in Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune.

Not necessarily a ‘horror’ moment, but I remember feeling really tense and anxious when the Flood were first introduced in the original Halo. I never felt more on edge or nervous in that whole game as that moment. I think it was the whole buildup that something terrible was coming but you didn’t know exactly what.

Another non-horror game that had me feeling it was Subnautica. The deep dark depths, and knowing that sea monsters were lurking nearby, had me jumping at every sound.

That scene where you first see them attack is pretty crazy!

I remember being scared of the Asylum level in the most recent Thief game from 2014.
