Nicktendo Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 Shame, doesn't bode well for future new ip's or games that aren't mini game waggle fests. I hope i'm wrong as i want to see more games on Wii like resi 4, NMH, red steel, zack & wiki etc but they seem to get lost amongst the mountains of shovelware filling the shelves. Maybe having a console that's cheap to develop for is a bad thing eh! or maybe it's a lack of quality control on nintendo's part allowing any old sh@te on their console. A lot of my friends who have had every nintendo console & missed out on getting a wii on launch couldn't be bothered getting one when they became available no matter how many times i told them about or shown them games such as metroid, mario galaxy, mariokart, nmh, pro evo, etc etc so maybe there aren't as many so called hardcore or informed gamers out there who have a Wii as we on these forums seem to think there are. I think Nintendo need to bring back the Seal of Quality and push it so consumers know what it means, maybe have it represented in an obvious manner on the front cover.
khilafah Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 So you've not bought it then? I think Flinky's "lazy gamer" theory is disturbingly true... no planned release in japan.
Retro_Link Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 So you've not bought it then? I think Flinky's "lazy gamer" theory is disturbingly true... Mind you, Flinks not bought it either so... [though he has said he intend to]. I am surprised that many people on the forums seem not to bought it after hyping it so much!
Fierce_LiNk Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 Mind you, Flinks not bought it either so... [though he has said he intend to]. I am surprised that many people on the forums seem not to bought it after hyping it so much! I'm still waiting for the bastard student loan to come.
James McGeachie Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 I actually totally forgot the game isn't coming out in Japan. I guess that robs it of even the slight chance that release there would bump the sales even a little (though it's the type of Wii game that would be doomed to perform horribly in Japan).
Zechs Merquise Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 16.99 at Gameplay.com! What a bargain! http://www.gameplay.com
killer kirby Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 bombed big time! shame as by all reports its a good game.. It's also the fact that now, gamers wait for these game prices to go down (Look how fast it goes down after release) Then you have the fuck heads who bitch and moan about not having any hardcore games on the Wii system, then the lightest bit of a hardcore game comes out, they fucking download it, and they wonder why it bombed >_< I am someone who has not bought it, sadly, but in australia, no matter how bad a game does, the price will always stay the same. Once I get some money it will be the first thing I buy (Well second, got to buy fuel first )
Retro_Link Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 16.99 at Gameplay.com! What a bargain! http://www.gameplay.com BUY IT PEOPLE!!
Chris the great Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 fucking price drop. im selling mine (gave it a chance, but alas im sick of it) and thats really gonna affect the value. cat wank!
DuD Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 Is it possible to win during some of the (shake Wiimote / Nunchuck) boss sequences. I'm pretty sure i'm getting the movement needed bang on everytime but it just tells me i died. I can remember it happening in part 3 of the sumo fight, so i just finished him off with the chainsaw. I'm now doing the shamens, and everytime i get into the sequence i end up dieing. i could do it easily with just the chainsaw, but i wanted to know if it is possible to 'win' (so to speak) during the sequence Cheers for any help.
ReZourceman Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 cat wank! Epicana. TBH just ebay it. People are fucking retards and will buy from ebay without even checking elsewhere (as I learnt when I sold my HOTD)
Shino Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 Prices drop so damn fast in the UK/US! The game was out for just two weeks!
James McGeachie Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 That goes to show how bad sales must have been. If a game is selling "okay" or at least noticibly, they wouldn't have dropped them that fast. Since it's barely even moving any units, with a lot of stores probably still almost fully stocked, they're resorting to desparate measures.
nekunando Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 I would have loved to have shwon support for the game buy buying it on day one.. but I had a feeling this would happen so I decided to wait! Clearly it was the right decision, so hopefully I will be able to pick it up now for a better price and have it for my birthday next month
K-project Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 Just picked it up myself for £16.99 off Gameplay. Can't wait, but I have to say I'd be fucking gutted if I'd paid full whack for this not two weeks ago. Glad I waited though. Looks a fantastic game, but seems to be dividing audiences. Nevertheless I'm really looking forward to it. I welcome a mental and blood-filled return of the scrolling beat 'em up!
EchoDesiato Posted April 4, 2009 Posted April 4, 2009 Good game, but overrated. It get's repetitive really fast. And so do the comments, I don't want to hear the same comments 10 times in the span of 60 seconds.
Shino Posted April 4, 2009 Posted April 4, 2009 Man I love the ending so much, the last of the game was great right to the credits. People say its repetitive, I can see that happen if you play like 4 hours straight, but playing it in small bursts was great!
Dante Posted April 5, 2009 Posted April 5, 2009 Man I love the ending so much, the last of the game was great right to the credits. People say its repetitive, I can see that happen if you play like 4 hours straight, but playing it in small bursts was great! Same here, fighting the last boss was great.
Blue_Ninja0 Posted April 5, 2009 Posted April 5, 2009 I just finished the game. Awesome boss, original credits and all the rest. Definitely one of my Wii's favorites. It's a shame it didn't sell at all. Well, I did my part. There is no "PAL conversion" differing massively from the NTSC version of the game, the borders and 480i-only display mode is present in all versions of the game. I wouldn't mind the black bars and lack of progressive scan. But why can't they give us the 60hz mode? The game plays in 60Hz in the rest of the world, it's not like they would have to had any extra work for it, and 50Hz takes away the game's smoothness.
Mike Posted April 6, 2009 Posted April 6, 2009 (edited) Just got killed twice by the last boss because it wouldn't recognise my gestures at all. What a load of rubbish. Reminds me of one of the last bosses on Disaster, but at least that didn't take 10 minutes to get to, and you didn't need to get all your gestures registered to beat it. Wii Motion Plus had better stop this from happening. EDIT: Just got lucky on my third attempt, and beat him. Great credits. Edited April 6, 2009 by Mike
Diageo Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 I've had no problems with the gestures whatsoever. I have never died in on of those quicktime events. I don't know what u ppl are complaining about... The last boss was one of the easiests...
Zechs Merquise Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 I played this at the weekend for a few hours and got to the third level, not really sure what I thought of it. It was entertaining and stylish, but seemed a little aimless.
Blue_Ninja0 Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 I never had any problem with the controls either. I can imagine you flailing the controller around randomly Mike.
