The series gets worse and worse every entry even in Japan were BlackopsII has even outsold it many times in a row now. there is no point in releasing Yakuza 5 in the west when its failure rate is guaranteed. TC you need to realize no one is buying the game.
>So I was driving down the street was running in front of the car and jumped on to my windshield, and the dog was banging it's head against it (it cracked) and jumped off and started to jump toward the drivers window. >So when i opened the door the dog then tried to bite by cars tires, when i tried to pull it away with my windshield cleaner and scare it off, it swiped at me and tried jumping at me and I punched it in the face and left. There was an officer there that didn't seem to mind I left the dog on the ground, who pulled up later, and the dog owner ran up and everything. not sure what happened after that as I drove off. >I feel i had no choice, was it the right thing?
[QUOTE="Articuno76"]My argument simply boils back down to the fact that in the end, the shooting doesn't require any sort of skill that you typically need for a shooter. Being good at other shooters won't help you at all in Metroid Prime (and vice-versa). You don't need to track or gauge movement speeds, and between the lack of body-part specific damage and the aiming mechanic you don't have to aim at all...aiming is a non-factor. In Bioshock you still need to use the aforementioned proficiencies. The lock-on in Metroid Prime isn't an assist feature; it is the core mechanic through which you have to play the game and doing so subverts any of the skills needed to play a shooter. If MP is a shooter then it is so on the most superficial level (bursts of fire appear out of your gun and hit enemies). Whereas one could call that a shooter it would be stretching the definition of shooter so far that you end up with a new problem which genre classification is supposed to help avoid; it doesn't really give us any idea of what the game is really like to play. Someone going into MP thinking it is a shooter is going to be very surprised and perhaps confused when they get seemingly bait-and-switched by the way the game plays. I honestly believe that the argument that Metroid is a hack-and-slash game with guns in place of swords holds more weight than calling it a shooter; The combat in Metroid and the skill proficiencies required are considerably closer to that (sub?) genre than a shooting game. But you basically explained System Shock games, which are considered shooters and have a lot more focus on atmposphere than MP. Also the Conduit while not to good imo, is basically while more linear, influenced by the game. Puzzles also don't =Adventure either, so continually saying the game has puzzles does not make it any less of a shooter it makes it sound closer to Portal, which ids a puzzle game.
sorry confused this thread with the other craptastic one about nearly the same thing. Anyways, that GPU is pretty bad

Hmm, drat. I guess I'll have to fork over at least $500 than or more. That's the cheapest AMD computer I can find. TC if you really need to game on pc one idea is to jsut get ann office laptop now and then get a gaming desktop. b.c would you like to see what you would need just to play games "well"
and that would be just to get started. you would need to get something alot better to start talking about maxing out games.
if you went with a gaming desktop and then got a laptop for non-gaming needs what you could do is simply get something on the cheap with a nice battery life for like $300 and then drop 500 dollar on a machine that could do basically the same things as that $625 machine
[QUOTE="TheTolemac"][QUOTE="Tessellation"]didn't 3ds sales struggled just when it launched?Zophar87
>But got a price drop and was able to secure more games since the drowned the Wii for 2 years before it. 3Ds eventually got out of it's price cut loss. >The Wii U is selling at a loss fully, and they need to even out games on both Wii u and 3DS. The Wii U will not get a price drop unless Nintendo can do some kind of scame that will get them to sell it at less but get more. After that last financial loss posted in 2011 that was pretty much 30% of the companies profit, they are not going to try and let that happen again.
The Wii U is profitable after just one game sale.
OMG SERIOUSY? The Wii U is selling at a loss, that it makes profit with one game, does not change the fact a price drop would be stupid.
