@dajupe: It's simple. The best combination of systems is the PC + Wii U
You have to be a die-hard fan of one or two exclusives to find it necessary to have an xbox/playstation along side your computer. But with the WiiU, the majority of its titles are exclusive to it, allowing you to maximize your gaming library!
This game is fantastic. My only complaint would be the fact that characters are unlocked way too easily and that the roster starts out so large, with only five or so characters to unlock all together (two of them being virtual copies of existing players).
Originally, during the first couple of days of this game's release, there was sometimes some heavy lag during online play; however, as of late, connection for 2 v 2 and 1 v 1 (social and ranked) has been splendid 90% of the time! Wonderful experience all together!
@horizonwriter @ben2970 It's like $50 or $55 dollars or something. It is indeed way more pricey than expected. The Wii game alone is like $10 used at gamestop. I asked why the price was jacked with two additional GC games, and they say it's precisely because of the GC games being rare. It's bullshit though because I went to 3 different gamestops/EB games shops and each shop had 3-5 copies of the trilogy. Even so, I don't think i'll risk waiting for a price drop if there really is a shortage for the game. I mean I spent $50 for Skyward Sword alone. If I can buy three games for $50, one being originally for the Wii, then i'm fine with that. Next time I visit gamestop I won't think twice about purchasing the trilogy.
Bought a Wii U deluxe edition with Zelda WW HD for $300 at the end of December. Having skipped 7th gen Nintendo, I haven't played anything from Nintendo's console since roughly 2005. Since the Wii U is backwards compatible, I have access to roughly 2,000 games, most of which I never knew existed or have never tried (Zelda WW is one of those games i've never played). Probably one of the best purchases i've ever made. Getting into Zelda (I LOVE Zelda) with the WW HD, bought Skyward Sword, bought Super Mario Galaxy. Looking forward to buy the Metroid Trilogy, new Paper Mario, oldschool platformers like Megaman, maybe smash bros brawl, Mario Galaxy 2, some Indie games I remember seeing on my friends Wii console years back, and of course the hyped games coming in the next few seasons like the latest smash bros and the next Zelda.
And then of course there's my lovely Steam for PC. Lots of games to choose from over there :D
a 6/10 was originally wrong to begin with. I've been around the League since mid 2011 and it's virtually the same product you find today in October 2013. I cannot imagine League of Legends having changed dramatically from 2009 to 2011. What could this mean? Perhaps that gamespot re-reviewed LoL today because it would make them look bad if they gave the most popular game to date a mediocre 6/10 (which is true).
But if a reviewer is going to critique a single side of the paradigm (in this case, the portrayal of women) and not the other half (the portrayal of men), then it's an unfair, biased review. And this feedbackula kid is wrong. If this game's focus IS to explore these negative personas of each gender, then attacking the negative portrayals is unjust critique
Imagine if there was a game based on slave life in 19th century America. It could be extremely well made and historically accurate, but is the game gonna get a lower score because what you see and what you do in the game is repulsive and/or unacceptable?
@sergioaf And when these games offer a PvP system that may focus a lot on gears, your only chance of winning is to buy from the cash shop. Otherwise, pack your bags and quit.
I was going to edit my post, but I decided not to. I guess I should have. Edit in bold.
"If I can't reasonably access all the material within a free game - without resorting to the cash shop - then i'd rather find a pay to play (one time purchase like GW2) any day."
