[QUOTE="Wild_Card"]i think the WiiU is about 5 to 6 years late my self, imo its what the wii should have been. now let the hateful replies start lol :p. Nut all jokeing aside, I think ninty should get the wiiU out on shelves ASAP. with the very real posabilty that MS and SONY will be releaseing a more powerful system with in the next couple years i think it would good for ninty to have as big of a head start as they can get, build up as large a userbase as they can to intice 3rd party devs to put there AAA games on the Wiiu even after the others have released there systems. if the user base on the wiiU is huge enough with a large enough core type gamer base then the 3rd parties will feel its well worth putting there games on the wiiU even if that means it being a bigger job down gradeing the games to run on the wiiU "if the others systems are considerbly more powerful". Madmangamer364

Not exactly a hateful reply, but if the Wii would have became the Wii U, it would have eventually been the GameCube. lol The timing of the Wii couldn't have been any better for Nintendo, and I'm sure that the system could have given Nintendo a few more healthy years had Nintendo supported the thing better the past two and a half years. In North America, the system is pretty much neck-and-neck in monthly sales with the 3DS at the moment, a platform that has received FAR more support than the Wii in recent memory. To me, that's an indication that the plug was pulled too early on the Wii.

Which leads me to the Wii U, which I think is being released too early, but since Nintendo has already showed its card to the gaming world, the Wii U has to establish a healthy userbase within the one year or so period it's the new console on the market. That much I agree with you on. I'm not even sure WITH such a userbase that the Wii U will always have strong third party support, but without it, there's no doubt that publishers and developers won't be giving the Wii U a great deal of love once the next wave of systems are released. The problem is that the Wii U and the software lineup it possesses has so much to prove in what will likely be a relatively short period of time, it's difficult to pinpoint how and where it's going to take off.

good point, i suppose had they made the wii as powerful as the other two systems it would have raised the price and prob prevented the "casual support "not that that would have broke my heart lol".

To have 3 systems fail "after a few months" it sounds like you are doing something wrong. Assuming these were purchased new.

ANYBODY can have 1 system fail. 2 is stretching it. 3 is just too much...it's not realistic unless you live in a sub-saharan climate and blow smoke and ash into your PS3's vents whilst having 16 hour marathon gaming sessions.

i didnt have a few systems fail after a few months, read my post. i had 3 systems fail all do to bluray disk drive not reading blurays over the course of about 2 to 2 1/2 years. But any way, yea you cought me.good job buddy. i was tottaly makeing it up and yes i live in a desert and i spend all day blowing smoke on my ps3 and setting it on fire or what ever silly excuse any one wants to throw out there. wow am i ever embarrassed "rolls eyes" lol

Not trying to sound funny, but if the issue was only w/ the bluray drive why in the world did you not just get that replaced?? It's not too difficult task to replace it yourself.

no its cool, i didnt know any thing about replaceing the disk drive, and if i remember right i think after buying the second one i think i got the other two on warrenty? yea def i bought the secound and when it died Gamestop replaced it but i had to rebuy another warrenty,on the 3rd i didnt have to buy another warrenty do to it haveing failed with in such a short time. Honestly iv had a lot of trouble with disk drives, ever sense the ps1. in fact i think every system that iv had trouble with was do to disk drive related issues. bought the ps1 on the first day and the CD played went bad after a year or so, same with ps2, game cubes diskdrive went bad after a few years,my wii scatchs disk unless i use it laying flat, if i put it upright in the stand it makes a clicking noise i scratchs the disk, Never had a problem with any cart based system or my PC's disk drive. Dream cast never gave me a problem. And yea iv always tried my best to take care of them, im not rich and it takes me a while to save up cash for a system "im a working man lol", i dont carry them transport them around ect. Just have had bad luck i suppose with disk drives. id be super happy if the next playstation used some type of solid state storage for games, like SD cards or what ever. had great luck with that sorta thing, my snes and sega gen both still work great and they have been played to death.

Hey guys , i would like to have some opinions on both games because both theses games look great and fun. I have already played TES Skyrim so i am a little more familiar with the elder scrolls series than the Fallout series.

Thanks !:)

Daisuke_2342

both games are great, but id suggest the fallout 3 or maybe better yet fallout new vegas if for no ther reason than you already have skyrim and oblivion while a great game is also set in the same world and in that way is simular while the fallout games are a lolt def. the game play is of course faily simular other than VATS, but the feel of the worlds are drasticly def. fallout 3 and NV have a really dark humor and sorta wacky tone to them. be prepaired in ether case for a pretty notieable drop in graphical quality lol, skyrim had amazing enviroments ect while the fall out games are farly bland being set in a post apocaliptic world ect and also has a lot more jaggies ect, not a huge deal just something u should be ready for ;) im currently in the middle of another fallout NV play through and loveing it ;). fallout 3 is also a great one. in any event make dang sure you patch up! i found the fallout games had less major bugs vs skyrim but a lot more freeze ups and crashs, both got better after some patching but even still they will lock up now and then. so again be ready for that. totaly worth it though if you like that type of game.

I never played the series, but I saw they had the first two in a bundle pack for $40 for both and was thinking about buying. Only problem is I heard those games are kinda short. I like games that last a pretty good while. Is it worth it or should I pass?

i cant really give you a number on play time but from my exp both are well worth getting, there def long enough.i mean there not like something like say fallout 3 were you can rack up 40+ hours but there not IMO as short as say many FPS games. As for replay, well that depends greatly on the person playing. id say the replay is pretty good just becuase the games are so good but there not a lot of ways to play them deffernt. watch some Youtube play through vids and you should be able to guage wether or not the game play is your thing. i my self liked them, not as much as a lot of other people but i dont regreat buying them. The second one is imho the better of the two over all. the story,voice acting,script and character depth is very good. they come off as real people much of the time. Nathean Drake and the two girls from the 2nd game in perticular come off as very human with some pretty smart and witty back and forth diolog.

i doubt a reversion will do much for actual sales how ever most likely it will be cheaper to make thus more mony per sale so i guess in that regard it will help. also to the guy above me, i feel your pain, im on ps3 #4 right now, but all my problems have come from the bluray drive failing to read bluray disk. dvds and ps1 games no problem. my first was the 40gig fat and it died after a little more than a year, my 2nd was a 120slim wich failed after about 7 months, then my 3rd was also a 120 slim, it died after a few months "luckly i got the warrenty this time at GS. they replaced it with the iirc 140 or 160 gig slim. doing fine so far after about a year and a half "knock on wood" And yes i take care of my systems so shut it fanboys lol :P

ok i was just watching madmax road warrior tring to get my self in the mood to play some fallout NV and i got to thinkig, wouldnt it be cool to have a open world game like fallout 3 and NV with open ended game play ect ect, but instead of just walking around this HUGE world, you could also drive. like a fully realized driveing game mixed with a fallout'ish open worlf FPS RPG. many def kinds of cars and trucks, all of them beat to heck and back and jerry rigged ect, and fuly modable and customizable. super charges NOS, aromor plates ect, the cars could be as much a character as your .... well character. Maybe even a lisensed madmax game? have enemies that could attack you in there own rides as your driveing down a wore out old highway, scronging for gas just like you do for ammo ect in the fallout games.And have a cockpit view sorta like farcry2 had. basicly a fallout 3 like game with a big focus on cars. i dont know, i know farcry 2 kinda tried this, and personaly i didnt care for it a whole lot in that game but if it was implamented well i think it could be fun. when i think of playing a game like that i sort of think of the LV in halflife 2 were you drove the dune buggy car along that old lonly stretch of HW while fighting the ant monsters. You could stop and explore a few places ect. That kinda vib is what i was thinking.

Maybe picture this,You know your driveing along, the sun is starting to set,your cars mufflers are pumping a nice brutish hum from your old beat up 5 liter V8, Some moody lonely music is playing in the back ground, your trying to make it to the next town/safe zone and BAM your attacked by a few motorcycle raiders or a couple cars with guys shooting at you, you can try and out run them but does your car have the HP to beat them? can that cheap armor you bought a few towns back handle the 44mag rounds there shooting at you? Do you have enough gas to run all full throttle for any leangth of time, should you use that pricy and rare NOS spray to get some distance or worse do they have NOS? Will your Wore out v8 handle the stress or will it, after so many miles and battles finaly throw a rod or bust a head gasket ? should you try and evade them off road or try and stop for a shoot out? Sounds like it could be fun if it was done well, maybe even hoped up on next gen console power?. What do you guys think? And please for give my spelling,its 4 am lol.

I used to make no effort to get trophy's but more recently have become more interested in trying to get them. I would never buy games with easy trophy's just to get more and still have only one platinum trophy but I can't deny that it is gratifying to get a trophy you have been working towards for a while.

So how far do you go to get more trophy's?

puddinghead101

I care nothing what so ever about trophys or achevments or any thing like that. iv never been one to spend gobs of times finding every collectable ect in a game ether. just dont have that much time and even if i did id still not bother, far to many good games to play to but in to all that. but hats off to those who do.
