BioShock has reminded me why I hate shooters. I am so fucking terrible at this game its not even funny. Can you really kill these Big Daddies??? Is it possible? Somehow I killed one by sheer luck with no health or healing kits left, and that's been it. Now I just keep fighting and dying over and over.

If you have the shotgun, then buy some electro buck. It slows them down plus damage. If there are any gun turrets nearby, hack them. Also, dodging is your friend.

It's the same as dodging, except you turn while dodging to keep the Big Daddy in you gun sights at all times.

You can also use traps like this one:

Some interesing insights into the WiiWare process and how it works for developers: (The guy lost money, so take that into consideration -- but it also means he's not holding himself to Nintendo's NDA).

"Oster, a BioWare veteran and one of Beamdog's co-founders, claims developers must sell 6,000 units of a WiiWare game before receiving a payment from Nintendo: "We'd love to see some money back on the title, as it is the best version of MDK2 on any console, but we've yet to see anything."

The Wii U: "Its a next gen piece of hardware" --Random guy from THQ

It was a Darksiders 2 developer. I can just imagine GAF right now:

"Does he mean next gen as in how 360 and PS3 are still referred to as next gen? Or does he mean next gen as in different generation than that?"

"Does he mean next gen in terms of features or graphical power?"

Etc

Yeah I read that yesterday, it sounds sucky, you don't get paid unless it sells 6000?

Mind officially blown!

This ain't no "Attack, Magic, Item, Defend" breed of RPG! It seems soooo sophisticated. There's so much to do, ways to play... I don't even know where to begin! Sure it comes down to swinging your sword(s) or using magic when in the thick of battle... but signs, bombs, oils, traps, potions... Vigor, Riposting... I'm a simple console cave-man! These PC-like RPGs confuse and mystify me...

...but I love it! Graphics are amazing. Story is mature and doesn't hold your hand. I just wanted to try it out for now, as I am in the middle of XenoBlade, but I can't wait to dig my teeth into this one next!

Yes!

You're spot on about the maturity....unlike most games that tend to feel a bit immature when they try to be mature, this series actually really FEELS mature (and not just because of the graphic sex scenes). The way they go about the storytelling is geniusly done. The only game I can think to compare it to in regards to its MATURE maturity, is Eternal Darkness which also felt more like a true mature experience than most games.

No offence to the guy, but he made a port of a really old game no one cared about. It probably sold like crap so he didn't get any money from it and he's now he's pissed and wants payback. Some of the other stuff he's been saying today/yesterday is nonsensical hate.

I thought it was very bizarre that they choose to port MDK2 to the Wii's online service. It was a very "...the fuck?" kind of moment for me. It wasn't all that popular of a game, even on the Dreamcast back in the day. Definitely not the Dreamcast game I expected to see on the Wii out of its library.

Another new game, not coming to Wii U

Eurocom developing Bond Legends

A first-of-its-kind Bond video game, 007 Legends features an original, overarching storyline tying together six classic Bond movies

SANTA MONICA, Calif., April 18, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- To celebrate the James Bond franchise's 50th anniversary, Activision Publishing, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Activision Blizzard, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI), will launch gamers back through time to relive a selection of Bond's most iconic and intense undercover missions from the popular Bond film franchise with 007™ Legends.


A first-of-its-kind Bond video game, 007 Legends features an original, overarching storyline tying together six classic Bond movies, concluding with this year's highly-anticipated 23rd installment — SKYFALL — to offer the most diverse Bond gaming experience yet! As with the feature films, 007 Legends equips players with state-of-the-art spy gadgets, an arsenal of weapons, including Bond's signature Walther PPK, and sleek vehicles as they jet off to exotic locations and utilize Bond's quick wits, class and style to take down notorious villains and their brutal henchmen, perform impressive stunts, and of course...mingle with gorgeous Bond women.


"To honor 50 years of the world's top secret agent, 007 Legends offers a collection of his most famed moments in the smartest and most treacherous Bond game yet," said David Oxford, Executive Vice President at Activision Publishing, Inc. "Creating a video game storyline that ties together six popular, yet very different, Bond movie narratives can be challenging, but together with EON Productions, our developer Eurocom, has pulled it off to create an homage that we think will be a unique and highly entertaining Bond video game."


In addition to 007 Legends' main story, the game will feature the return of fan-favorite single-player Mi6 Ops Missions, which debuted in GoldenEye 007: Reloaded and challenges players to complete extra missions ranging from all-out action to stealth and gadget-based gameplay and compete for the highest online leader board scores. For the first time ever, players will be able to participate as one of Bond's cohorts or villainous foes, reliving the missions through their eyes, as well as 007's. The robust James Bond multiplayer experience includes local four-player split-screen game modes and online competitive gameplay with new maps, weapons and characters derived from Bond's 50 year legacy. With more gadgets, deeper stealth and spy investigation gameplay, gamers will have every opportunity to truly feel like the world's favorite spy.


Planned to launch this fall, 007 Legends is being developed by Eurocom, under license from EON Productions Ltd. and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios, Inc. (MGM) for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system. Stay tuned for more information on the game's official Web site and Facebook page.
