View Profile Yes, I'm a wizard.
Yeah, that's what I thought.
And I just got lego avengers. You were right, Hewitt. Game is amazing. Thw flying mechanics could use a little fine tuning, though.

View Profile I feel bad for my pro controllers now. When the GC adapter comes out, I'm not sure what to use them for.

View Profile The GC Adapters will be rad. I still have five or so GameCube Controllers sitting around in good condition, and they'll be nice to use.

As a competitive fighting game, I'd have to say Killer Instinct. As a single player experience, probably Mortal Kombat.

View Profile Picked up Watch Dogs while I was in Michigan. Storyline is pretty good, and so is the actual gameplay, but I honestly think the helicopters should not be able to 'know' where you are if you are hiding in a car. I was hidden for five minutes and the helicopter continued to circle around me on the minimap. Aside from that, I have a really big gripe about the game itself:
The price difference between the Ps3 and Ps4 editions is roughly nine bucks, which accounts for the software difference between the consoles themselves and the equipment needed to write the disks, but if you buy the Ps4 disk, you get to use a Multiplayer Free Roam, rather than just competing with others. So that's basically telling me that even though I paid for the same game as a Ps4 owner (indicated by an option on the menu that says "Invites Recieved", and the minimal price difference), I am being penalized for not being able to afford a Ps4 by not being able to invite friends to my game. I mean come on, if COD Black Ops 2, with its improved graphics can support 20+ players on Ps3 in a Ground War, why cant Watch Dogs have 8 people in the same game on the same environment? I really dont think they did that for any other reason than to back the market into a corner. I don't know about the rest of you, but I smell marketer bullshit

Watch dogs is on my list if games to be bought, I love open world games like this. And the only reason they pulled a stunt like that was to try and get more next gen sales.
What developers thought was going to happen: "Oh, next gen has multiplayer free roam! I guess I'll buy a ps4, then!"
What actually happened: "What the hell, next gen has free roam and last gen doesnt. I'll just play singleplayer then."
Buncha money whores

View Profile Seems like the point was to make the ps3 game look like a waste of money. If enough people protest, they may add it in an update, or they will lose business. Like it or not it's us, the gamers, who control the market. Not the developers. If we stop putting up with those tactics and just avoid catering to the pockets of those companies, they will listen to us far more

View Profile New Smash characters were just announced.
I don't really know that much about fire emblem, but yay captain falcon's back. Can't say that I'm surprised but it's nice that they didn't leave him out. I do like the thunder guy's attacks(can't remember his name), and the others seems pretty cool. I was pretty disappointed at the lack of Shulk and Ness though, bummer. I'm hoping they get announced soon!

View Profile Shulk is still a possibility, and one I'm looking forward to. Ness is basically confirmed. There's no way they're going to shaft one of the original smash bros this late in the series. Dunno why everyone on youtube and facebook seems to think he's not getting in. Anyway, as a huge Fire Emblem fan I was super hyped at seeing Robin and Lucina. The Chrom cocktease wasn't cool though :( Also, everyone's complaining that Lucina's a Marth clone, and yet people have been begging for Roy to come back for years....

Well Roy has a completely different palette than Marth and Roy has a drastically different play style than Marth. Certain hitboxes send opponents in different ways, thus making his game play unique. Also, that was melee. There's no denying that with the current level of technology now, we really shouldn't be getting more clone characters if it can be avoided. All it does is take up another spot. I mean I'm almost positive that Lucina will have a different style of play than Marth, but it's a bit annoying to be honest. I'm just not a huge fan of it in general.
Come on Shulk.

View Profile Not to mention, they changed Marths move-set around a little in Brawl.
Which is why I don't understand why they removed Roy in the first place.
Anyone else excited for the next mortal kombat, I sure as hell am!
And Dark Souls 2 dlc is out now.
Magic 2015 is pretty good
