Diablo 3 is a pretty sweet game for the 360.

Was really excited for Watch Dogs, but the reviews seem pretty meh ... will wait for a decent used price now, I guess.
An 82/100 is a "meh" score?Originally Posted by Hawk
User reviews are much lower than the critics. Usually that's not a good sign. See FIFA 14.

I ended up downloading it completely on impulse from the Playstation Store last night. Played it for about 5 minutes then passed out. Looks fun so far, though.
About to play Mario Kart 8. If anyone ever gets a Wii U, be sure to add me so we can play. NNID is Skillgore31.
Just ran across this....
As pointed out by A List Daily, in Q1 of 2014, Candy Crush grossed more money than all Nintendo games combined. Sure, that’s easy to rationalize by saying “Well Nintendo didn’t have any big releases and Q4 is where they make all their cash,” but the fact remains, that’s a mind-blowing thing to be able to report. They’re not ahead by a small margin either, King is making 56% more money than Nintendo. King has mentioned in the past that Candy Crush generates 2/3 of their revenue, so, that game alone is beating everything Nintendo did.
Candy crush grossed more money than Nintendo. Wow
That is not really news, or anything special. Mobile games are the big thing now, and pretty much everyone in the 1st world has a smart phone. Naturally, there are going to be a lot more people buying Candy Crush, and any other microtransactions that are involved with it, even if the Wii U was flying off the shelves at a Wii-like rate. And the 3DS is flying off the shelves faster than any console or handheld before it, so that should tell you that it doesn't mean anything. I'd wager that Candy Crush is grossing a lot more money than Microsoft and Sony's gaming divisions as well.
And, like you said, it's only for the first quarter of the year, where Nintendo had basically nothing. This isn't really news.

Not to mention Candy crush is the flavor dujour. I'm sure the latest Angry Birds game isn't that hot selling.

E3 thoughts? Sony's press conference lasted about 9 days. Microsoft had the best press conference I've seen in terms of production. Flawless execution of nothing but games. The games themselves were somewhat meh though.
As far as games. Assassin's creed looks good. The new Batman gameplay looked amazing. Easily the best game as far as gameplay goes, imo. When he jumps out of the batmobile and soars into the sky... Yes indeed. Witcher 3 looks good as well. Other than that it was a fairly mediocre conference as far as games go I think. Some nice looking games, but few surprises. What surprises we had are pretty far down the line of the games I'm interested in at least.
I'll buy either a PS4 or XBONE down the line. My opinion on which to buy didn't change after this conference. Still going with PS4.
thank you weso1!
Microsoft was good. Lots of games, no boring executives talking forever like Sony had. EA was lame as hell. Ubisoft was decent. Like the idea of coop for Assassins Creed.
I was surprised there was so many CG trailers. Just a heads, most of the stuff shown isnt how the game is going to look. Very excited about GTA V coming to Xbox One, PS4 and PC.
I own both consoles, but I play my Xbone much more. Just has better games.
The game that excited me the most was crackdown, but that probably 2 years away. Same with the next Mass Effect. The Game Im looking forward to the most thats coming out this year is Dragon Age: Inquisition.
How many dragon ages came out? I played the first two.
Haven't played a video game in about 6-8 months. Was the most recent assasins creed game good?
Natural Immunity Croc
Inquisition is the third.
It was pretty much the same as the other ones except for the Pirate aspect. Actually had a ton of fun doing ship battles and upgrading my ship.
Sigh. 9 years since a brand new edition of MVP Baseball...

Was the underlying storyline developed well? Is it worth playing?
Natural Immunity Croc
If you enjoyed the others yeah. I just didnt get into the actual story, it became a bit repetitive. But still like going out and blasting stuff with my ship.
You're all gay for not mentioning the New Zelda.
That, Smash Bros, Mario Kart and Mario Maker will make me buy a wii u before this time next year.

I've already mentioned a few times in this thread I'm waiting for Smash Bros to buy a Wii U. I mentioned it months ago, then I mentioned it when someone said Nintendo was bleeding money because Wii U wasn't selling as well as Wii was at this stage. I know many other friends who don't have a Wii U yet that will buy it when Smash Bros comes out.
My biggest worry is Nintendo makes the online environment and UI much better than Brawl.

I'm debating if I should get the Mario Kart Wii-U bundle or wiat to see what may happen with Smash Bros bundle.

Not really a Nintendo guy, but tempted to pick up a Wii U
