I still pop in every now and then. I really like the combat in the game and I can't get it anywhere else. I especially enjoy the exploration of the world and the art design. It's so nice to hang around in the world. I like doing the random group quests on the map.
I understand where you're coming from about the lack of challenge in games. It's happened to every genre really and if you really want a true challenge, you have to look hard and open your mind to new types of games. I've seen this type of thread appear on many forums regarding the recent beta version for FFXIV A Realm Reborn in particular. I've accepted the fact that these 'hard' games are not coming back any time soon and I've found other games to enjoy in their place. Games like Demon Soul's or Dark Souls, even Fire Emblem, Etrian Odyssey on 3DS or XCOM all are very challenging games which are difficult to master. Even MOBA games like League or Dota 2 take a long time to master. I don't really play MOBAs but I'm willing to try them out. A lot of popular RPGs like FF series, Mass Effect and Dragon Age have all been simplified in game play, even action games with tricky puzzles and exploration like Tomb Raider have become streamlined. There's always private servers or GOG.com for that old skool challenge.Â
I thought the same things you did when I bought the game. At first, after a few days of playing I was waiting for something to happen for some reason? I enjoy fishing, which is good because you get lots of bells doing it and I like buying stuff from the clothes shop. I mostly pick it up between games when I'm bored. I also like talking to the people in town.
[QUOTE="afterworld"]Interesting thread. I own the WiiU and don't plan on selling it any time soon. I can understand why some people would do this seeing as how PS4 and XBone are launching soon and Nintendo's promise of 3rd party support has somewhat been terrible. Even excellent games like ZombiU aren't getting a sequel because enough copies weren't sold and first party games are few and far between. I'm excited for Pikmin 3 next month, Smash Bros. and Zelda. I would be very happy with just owning a 3DS and it's excellent library of games, but I do like playing Monster Hunter on the gamepad on WiiU.XplicitVibe
Oh man that is one thing I really enjoyed about the Wii U is the off t.v. play! It displayed a nice picture and the tablet in general wasn't as uncomfortable as I thought it would be. I too also really enjoyed MH3U online and on the gamepad but I kind of out played it and now I cant wait for MH4 with all the new weapons and monsters! Pikmin looked pretty cool too but I really dislike that it has no online co-op =/... I've become a multiplayer only gamer, over the years lol Why is Nintendo so afraid of online? A few of my friends have 3DS and want to play together but can't because most games won't allow it unless it's RE:Revelations or Animal Crossing. Come on Nintendo. Grow up!
