No interest after I watched the IGN review in HD. Apparently it is great fo the first 6 hours and then it's all repetition. But it looks good visually and apparently is true to the movie. I have the trilogy here I think (hope), I want to watch it. Will probably bargain bin the game... but 20+ hours for this kind of highly intense stealth games sounds like a bad grind.
The answer: I don't. There are plenty of U games I haven't bought like Hyrule Warriors, MH3, Darksiders 2, Arkham Origins or DK Tropical Freeze. Maybe when they hit £10. But Platinum games I boycott to mess with you.
Also it's not hard to own every Wii U game, there aren't exactly many of them.... and I don't own any other current gen console.
? There seem to be limits on every demo I've tried. I think the maximum time is 30 tries?
No one actually looked at this:
Alien: Isolation: The American Patch Following some mixed reviewed from the states, The Creative Assembly appear to have released a new patch to win back support from their American playerbase.

The SSB demo on the 3DS seems to be without any limits whatsoever. Which I like. There's just enough there for me to not feel the need to run out and buy the full version.
I am. I think it's pretty damned good, though I need to play more of it. Stupid every bloody game being out right now doesn't help.
New Captain Konopio trailer shows off gameplay and Toadette
Bah. Personally I can't stand Toadette. I'll be in no hurry to save her whatsoever.
LMAO!
So what exactly did the US reviewers not like? That its an actual horror game and not an action game? Are people in Europe more open minded about the fact that its actually GOOD when everything doesn't try to be Call of Duty?
Yeah we're more open minded to a bunch of stuff. IFYAKNOWWADDAMEAN
Seriously though, I remember ZombiU scoring notacibly worse in the US than it did in Europe.
Tried the Bayonetta 2 demo.
It was allright. Now that I've tried it, it reminds me of when I played the W101 demo and Vader wondered how I could like that but not Bayonetta. I can understand what he meant now, it's very similar. Eerily similar actually, same scoring and QTE mixes with attacking and then timing the evade just right.
I'm not going to rubbish the demo, but I was slightly bemused by it all. One positive is that it felt like an old school arcade game and it looked very pretty and played decently. There's nothing I can really object to. I would prefer more precise controls using the d-pad instead of stick and the combos felt like a waste of time since you could smash any combination of punches and kicks and it would activate some sort of combo.
It seems like a game that could grown on me, but I definitely prefer the W101 demo, which felt more involving and I love the whole presentation and style of that game as well as it's gimmicks like drawing on the touch screen.
I haven't even bothered downloading it.
Evil bastard.
I don't know. I can only guess, like Zombi U, the North American reviewers don't really tolerate much repitition? Where as cynical Brits will appreciate something more novel and different, even if it's not polished or presented to within an inch of it's AAA budgeted life and even if it can be a bit repetitive?
It continues:
"Let's be clear- Ubisoft does not constrain its games"
AC Unity producer 'chose the wrong words' to discuss parity "I'm sorry," says Pontbriand
7.8 Vader?
Michael Ironside almost walked out on his Splinter Cell role
So he actually changed the character of the game. Nice.
That is because you have been touched by the grace of Iga. Normal people that did not receive the download code could only play the demo a limited ammount of time!
Yeah I find this weird as well. It doesn't really matter to me though since if I like the game enough I'll buy the full version and if not then I'll not bother playing the demo anymore after that.
My son has received a Peter Pan costume for Halloween. He's trying to figure out how to turn it into a Link costume.
So Rogue Squadron Trilogy was cancelled TWICE. Once on Xbox 1, and again on Wii. That's pretty lame.
Granted, I'm not sure how well it would have sold anyway....basically a remastered compilation of flight sim games. I'm sure it would have looked beautiful for an Xbox/Wii game, but they would have been lucky to sell half a million. Interesting that they started a new studio though.
It's non canon anyway, so fuck it!
. Actually, I love RS games, except for crappy plat forming.
I just tried out the Bayonette 2 demo. I'm not sure if I actually played it or if I was just along for the ride though.
Final Fantasy XIII PC requires 60GB of Hard Drive space.
Even worse, it requires buying Final Fantasy XIII.
