So I'm not missing anything else. Hmmmmmmm. Guess I should pick up Bayo 2 and TMS.

So how are you liking TMS?  I've been thinking of winding down my Monster Hunting career and am looking for something to replace it with.  Not that I'm lacking for choice.  I still have Yoshi's Wooly world, COD:BLOPS2, Ninja Gaiden Sigma and the hardcopy of Fast Racing NEO shrinkwrapped and waiting for me.  And I should probably one day return to XCX as well.



I've enjoyed it a lot. It has the same pitfall a lot of long JRPGs have in that it does feel repetitive after a while. Atlus did a good job of adding a lot of crazy features to the combat though, so that helps to take the edge off of it even after you hit that 40 hour mark, which is usually the cut bait point for me in these kinds of games.

Not sure if you've played Persona 3 or 4, but this definitely feels like an extension of those games. The Social Links are gone, but the combat is a lot more interesting, and there are side quests that kind of fill the gaps left by the social links.  

If you have a tolerance for J-Pop and weird Japanese culture, it definitely is worth playing. And even if not, it's a very solid game all the same.

Pikmin 3 was fun. I had played a little bit of the second game, but this was more or less my introduction to the series and I grasped it pretty quickly.

Also maybe consider Lego City Undercover. The loading times are kind of rough, but it is actually an extremely good parody of Grand Theft Auto games, and cop TV shows and movies from the seventies and eighties.

You should get Fast Racing Neo.  It's cheap and sadly there's nothing like it in this day and age.  Also, if you're considering getting Bayonetta, you should definitely get Wonderful101 as well.

Pikmin is definitely on my radar, it's cheap-ish now I think. I will watch some videos of that Lego game. I gave Lego LOTR a shot a while back, but found it dull and boring, and its humor missed the mark so that made me lose any interest in the franchise. Maybe this one is better.

Undercover is the only Lego game I've ever liked. It drags a bit in the middle of the game, but for the most part I did enjoy it and I thought it was pretty damn funny. Your sidekick, a guy named Frank Honey, is easily the funniest character in video games in quite a while.

Now that's some quality endorsement right there.  LOL

I suppose you could compare it to that, although I've never been a big Wipeout fan.  It's more like F-zero in that there are no weapons.

It's widely regarded by those who own it as the best Lego game and people who loved it don't neccesarily even like the other Lego games in the series.

The script is by some well known British comedians and its an original IP that parodies lots of other IPs like Starsky and Hutch. Check out the trailers on youtube. Some people still regard it as U's best game on GAF.

Why is everyone all of a sudden sympathy-buying WiiU games?

It's what happens with every dying console, people pick over its carcass like left over roast chicken. Nabbing what they can - when they can. It's also a collectors compulsion, I do it with anime.

I think I have most of what I need from the Wii U library, and bought 95% of them at launch prices even though I still haven't played most of them.  Paper Mario and Zelda will be a nice double swan song.  Almost the exact same way the N64 bid us adieu.

I'd still like to pick up Pikmin 3. I'm still contemplating getting the new Paper Mario RPG and Lego City.

Never going to happen.  Quit dreaming GG.

That's not for me, it's for Edgecrusher.

The thing that made the Gamecube controller great was the shape and how comfy it was in your hands, not really the button placement or anything. So there's really not much need anymore for this since they've finally smartened up and made pads with the right amount of buttons, two real analog sticks, etc.
