• Wii U external hard drive required to download Lego City Undercover, Nintendo says

• mr_shoe_uk 15/03/2013

  Bit of an overreaction in the comments? You can still get the game on disc, which seems to be Nintendo's primary strategy still.
  
  If you're downloading games over the blu-ray you're probably tech savvy enough to get a decent external hard drive. Reply +17

• Nintendo responds to Mario sequelitis criticism

• mr_shoe_uk 20/08/2012

  I don't even know where this criticism is coming from, most Nintendo series are much much less than annual, every 2 to 3 years perhaps, and generally unique and of exceptionally high quality. Reply +6

• Going Hardcore in Diablo 3

• mr_shoe_uk 23/05/2012

  Compelling arguments, but the main problem is that you're pretty likely to die from lag at the moment, and that isn't going to be fun.
  
  I'm leaving hardcore until the servers are more consistently stable. Reply +66

  @erp Absolutely, those articles were great, and it made it even more special to go into a bar in Yakuza and be informed about all the whiskies. Reply +2

  Is he really most famous for super monkey ball, eurogamer?
  
  Whatever, the guy is a top dude, I like pretty much everything he's involved with. Reply +4

  @BlinkeredAxis "It's only recently that a good PC has performed better than 360/PS3"
  
  No.. It has been since before the launch of the 360... Perhaps it's only recently that you could build one for the same price though. Reply +12

• 3DS breaks Japanese sales records

• mr_shoe_uk 07/01/2012

  I'm drawing a blank on too many classic console games from western devs too...
  
  After dabbling in PS3 and 360, the Wii is still my favourite console this generation, because it has the most game I love, and they're mainly Japanese.
  
  Pretty much anything western I prefer on PC (shooters, RPGs), and it's only a few console titles (and especially bayonetta) that have pushed the other consoles for me. Reply 0

  I think Team Fortress 2 has some of the best visuals of any FPS, but I'm not digging this.
  
  A game can be stylised but still ugly. Not much to go on yet though. Reply 0

  "I mean I never reset high score tables in arcades before dropping my pennies"
  
  But this isn't like locking the highscore table. This is like you playing Double Dragon and finding your game starts on the last level, or playing R-Type and finding you already have a bunch of extra weapons and 10 lives.
  
  No, it isn't like that.
  
  Great game by the way, despite being really busy I've put over 7 hours into it this weekend. Reply -1

• Nintendo dismisses need for Achievements

• mr_shoe_uk 23/01/2011

  Once you've got over the initial 'what's the point in playing without achievements?' lunacy, I've been finding DS and PSP gaming recently a liberating experience, just take it at your own pace and enjoy what and how you like, without bothering with (generally poor) arbitarty challenges, often resulting in a restriction on how you play.
