I took a break from CoD and fired this up, played for a little bit and am really enjoying it. Like most I wish the tombs were more than just one puzzle but at least that way you're not completely sidetracked from the main story. Loving the bow! I just use that and the shotgun, no need for other weapons I've found. I'm only a little into it though so I may need to use my other weapons at some point... that bow though!

These are my biggest peeves with the game. It just stops me from playing it. It's not fun intermittently playing. I spend more time in and out of lobbies than I do in games! I like to change my gear up a lot!

Cheers for the games tonight @drahkon, there some some really good ones in there! Sorry I left when I did, I joined my mate in his party... it probably was better for you actually as I was doing crap in that last game, haha. We should get a bigger party going if you fancy it, have a few of us controlling the maps!

Anyone on tonight? Think it's about time I finally have a decent go at this!

Not straight away, I'll be moving in with her where she's renting and we'll be saving for a house. I love where I live and my flatmate is a great lad and good friend, the place is real handy for work too as its only about 100 metres from it... but I'm so looking forward to living with her.

Do you guys not have any predictions or any thoughts as to what the NX might be then? I've seen plenty posts about what Nintendo do/don't need to do and comments made about Nintendo, both positive and negative, but none of you have actually posted any predictions or thoughts to what the console itself will be, as per Lostmario's initial reasoning for creating the thread. Are you not making any, or have any thoughts as to what it might be? You're vocal chaps about Nintendo, I'd have thought you'd have had some thoughts about it...?

I can't even begin to imagine what you've been going through @MadDog, but kudos to you for not letting it stop you from being who you are and for carrying on like a trooper! I'd not been in the thread for a little while, sorry to hear things going badly for people. Had some bad news in the last few years myself, continuing through this year too. It can weigh hard on you at times but having friends to talk about it, be it in your everyday life or on here (or anywhere else) helps tremendously. Its a good community on here in that respect I must say. Even though I've vented at some posts in this thread in the past (thanks to bad times I'd been going through), you guys certainly do keep each other's spirits up. Good on you N-E!

Was chatting with the girlfriend this weekend about moving in. Will be doing so in the next few months... I need to give a couple months notice to my landlord and I've said I'd give my flatmate a bit more as he's looking to buy somewhere, but he was thinking of next year so it's a little earlier than he thought he'd be looking. Who knew POF would work so well after all those tragic dates I had! My ugly mug and the (obviously blind) girlfriend...

A couple weeks ago a few mates and I did one of these "Escape" challenges, where you're locked in a room and have to carry out tasks in order to get out. Our scenario was this; We'd been sent back in time into a scientist's office in order to obtain the blueprints to the first nuclear bomb. We then had to travel back into the future but the time machine was broken so we had to fix it too. We had 1 hour and... We missed out on the Top 10 by less than a minute but we were only the second team, and the fastest, to have finished it without having any clues! Absolutely loved it, there were plenty of red herrings too which acted as time wasters, it was awesome! I'd very much recommend these types of game to anyone who hasn't done them before.

Good lad, you're doing well mate, keep at it. I, on the other hand, am not going to the gym as much as I should really... and when I do go I'm not doing cardio, which really I should keep on top of too.

This. This post is exactly what my thoughts are. I agree with Zechs that people won't get over the visuals, they are awful! One look at Monster Hunter Generations and you see what they could've done with the game! Also, that it lacks Samus doesn't mean that's the reason we're hating on it. Since even before the Wii we were dreaming of a game like Zechs describes above...

Huh?! This has some of the best dungeons in the series! They're awesome!!!

If used well, they're great, but I do think they should be optional and have some customisation (sensitivity for example). They're good in Splatoon but I do wish you could customise them slightly as they're not quite perfect. They're fun in games like Mario Kart but I'd not choose them over analogue at all. I won't buy Starfox or MP:FF as the games don't look like they're for me. I'd prefer to use the Wiimote as opposed to the Gamepad for gyro (pointer too in Wiimote's case) though as it feels nicer to move about than the Gamepad does. COD on the Wii was perfect thanks to the Wiimote! That you could customise the controls fully made it the best control scheme I've ever played with!

And this is exactly what they should be doing with Zelda! It'll only add to the immersion!

This is my big gripe, in the videos we've seen of Zelda WiiU his animation is still shoddy!

It can after a while, usually a very long while! What I tend to do when it's starting to wane is change my weapon, this keeps it fresh as the whole way you approach hunts changes, more dramatically than you'd expect in some cases. With MH4U adding verticality to hunts and now MHGen adding hunting styles, I'm sure it will feel fresh enough to suffice for another few hundredhours!

Cannot wait for this! Looks and sounds awesome!!! It makes me want to put MH4U back on... anyone up for hunts sometime?

Yeah, I thought it was lame. Monster Hunter was the only positive for me.

So, @Blade, @lostmario... and anyone else who has one... we partying up on the PS4 for this tonight?

Bombs being dropped in One Piece! Oh man!!!

They'll have been working on all this the last few years though. It's not like they've just started it. Hell, they're already rolling out the My Account thing in preparation for it (at least that's what I believe, it makes sense to me).

I've not said the WiiU launch was crap, everyone knows that until the Jan after launch it was doing great. Nintendo definitely have to learn lessons, with or without strife they may be dealing with. They're a company and must move on. They have to open up to western developers more, court more projects like they did with Bayonetta 2, put in features that are industry standard; both in their OS and in their games! They must release games at a reasonable rate and get the 3rd Parties on board with ease of porting so that they don't have to be the only ones supporting the console. There's plenty they need to do!

We're all just hoping Nintendo have learned their lesson in that regard. If they haven't then hopefully another flop of a console will have them go just Handheld and 3rd Party on home consoles.

It feels like its talked about nowhere near the level of Revolution!

Oh man, those were the days! I'm quite excited about the NX, especially after reading all the patents etc, I love speculating. I love reading through the NX Prediction thread repeatedly... but then I have this pit in my stomach that just tells me that Nintendo won't have learnt from the WiiU and will disappoint me once more. But by god I hope I'm wrong... and if I am, if they've learnt and have the features a console needs then colour me excited, I'll be absolutely buzzing!!!
