@abHS4L88 First off consoles are never hardcore they haven't been for a while, but i come here not as PC gamer but as someone who loved what Nintendo used to be. That Nintendo not only used to push the envelope Graphically and with innovation game play wise but also with multiplayer games there was no better console then the n64 for crowding around and playing golden eye, SSB, perfect dark etc... and them not going online with the game cube was a colossal mistake but far worse was the Wii, awful controls bland visuals and no multiplayer worth mentioning thats when i jumped ship. The Wii U seems to be too little too late its launching with hardware I wouldn't put in my PC and has focused on 3rd party games already released on the other consoles. Add in that we have yet to see a single game targeting older audiences out of Nintendo's own studios and you have a disillusioned 21 year old patiently waiting form news on the next xbox and PC parts rather then the Wii U. Its just disappointing to see.but hey at least i can drink right?
@abHS4L88 @Celsius765 False im hating I grew up with Nintendo only to see them first no longer cater to me or my demographic (with the Wii), that would be the demographic that made them so successful, and now they continue to refuse to change with the times with everything from region locking to friends codes
@abHS4L88 @vader501st which they should be, the companies already control the release prices so all that should be different is tax. Frankly thats bull crap the software already makes a ton of money and seeing as the US is most games biggest market selling them cheapest in the largest market doesnt really make sense. Perhaps the shipping to smaller companies is less economical but buying online and having the consumer pay shipping should change that, so again what is the point of region locking?
Sony gets it and has unlocked systems. For MS it doesnt really matter seeing as their presence in non western countries is minimal at best and for some reason Nintendo is determined to be a stick in the mud with decision the directly harms their consumers
@abHS4L88 @vader501st maybe Australia should lower its prices... thats not a bad thing for some reason they have gotten the shaft for years even though the reasons behind those price hikes are long dead
Well COD was heavily inspired by halo so of course they are similar. Halo has always been about balance and competitive play COD is about crazy action its just a different end goal.Actually most modern console games are based off the platform Halo CE, for single player and combat, and halo 2 for online play...
Two weapon limit. Extra grenade-throwing hand. Matchmaking system. dedicated melee button, theater, player emblems etc...
@Jebus213 @GOGOGOGURT MW1 used halo 2s matchmaking system haha Halo was what allowed a game like COD to become popular on the consoles in the first place
