  1. In terms of numbers, such as sales, no, the Wii U is not as successful as the Xbox One or Playstation 4. It may not have as many features as the other consoles. But, what it lacks in features, it compensates for them with games and the fact that Nintendo always tries to think outside the box. Motion control couldn't be executed successfully until the Wii came along! 360 and PS3 imitated them and failed HARD. While it wasn't perfect, as in you could just vibrate your hand to throw a baseball in Wii Sports, in the Zelda games, you felt like a boss slashing away at monsters with your sword or drawing your arrow back to get a headshot on some chump way off in the distance. The tablet controller the Wii U has looks odd at first, but the potential to integrate it into games is huge. It might allow RTS games to successfully have a console port alongside a PC version.
  2. I didn't like Cortana since I thought she nagged an awful lot throughout the series. And what bugs me about the ending is... how did it happen? I thought hardlight was just a building material, but apparently elaborate computer programs can use it to manifest themselves into the physical world. While it was a valiant effort at making an emotional ending, compared to the likes of Final Fantasy 6 or Chrono Trigger, it didn't even faze me.
  3. For those of us who participated in Movember, today's the day we decide the fate of our facial hair!

      Keep it, Sparky.

      Lil Dog, grow a beard, then remove it with YOUR BARE HANDS

  4. I guess it's time to disable "Bah humbug" mode since tomorrow is the beginning of December.

  5. I'm still alive. Is it time for the 12 Days of Halo yet?

  6. If they're able to build a time machine, the very fabric of spacetime will be torn to shreds!! AIR Aerial battles would be difficult to determine the winner. Sure, Broadswords would annihilate anything we have today, but Pelicans do not have energy shields and the charge time on the laser could bog their performance down. A Pelican versus an Apache helicopter would be an almost even match. VEHICLES The Scorpion would be toast, and every type of Warthog except the regular Warthog would be a threat if they aren't taken out quickly. But again, the Marines on these Warthogs are not well-protected, and a stray round to their faces will take them out. The recoil on the heavier Warthog weaponry could be problematic as well, since it could tip over the vehicle unless they're balanced properly. We must also consider that the UNSC cannot train Marines to drive to save their lives, and they would probably drive over a cliff or crash into a wall. INFANTRY Modern forces wouldn't even have to do anything. Marines are notorious team-killers in Halo 4, are too busy shooting corpses, or hardly put up a fight. SPECIAL FORCES We're doomed. This argument is based on my observations in-game and of course make fun of how bad UNSC personnel are in Halo 4.
  7. If you haven't selected a specialization, you will not level up any further, as the Dumb Marine previously stated. This cap is also activated with each subsequent specialization you master, so every ten levels after level 50 will not enable you to level up further until you pick a new specialization.
  8. Quitting time didn't get here fast enough.

  9. The Christmas music has started to play at work. I'll be running a counter for how many times the most dreadful of songs are played throughout each shift of mine.

  10. Noooooooooooo Someone who likes RWBY
  11. I laughed way harder than I should have at this:

  12. What's this? Seven days after Remembrance Day and no Christmas music is playing at work? It's a new record!

  13. I've missed Simcity 4.

  14. Team Trigun will take over the forums.

  15. Sprint with Halo 3 equipment would be amazing. If quickly tapping the sprint button twice in conjunction with a direction would make you dive, that would be incredible.
  16. 1v1 in Forge when I get my gold membership. LET'S GO, BRAH XD
  17. Happy birthday to my favourite FPS series! May your legacy span for generations to come!
  18. It is the black sheep of the bunch, and I see why by watching Let's Plays. The plot's a bit hard to accept at times. Oh, and another game I'm playing: SIMCITY 4!
  19. My account hasn't been banned for possessing Race or Infection, both of which are modded gametypes. If you have modded gametypes available for download on your file share, you run a much higher risk of getting the banhammer. As for this mini gametype, you won't get banned for playing it or downloading it. Just be wary of having it on your file share. Otherwise, it's no problem. Heck, Mini Slayer is an integral part of my "Portal Tower" map!
  20. I've only played the first 7, so I can't really say whether or not I'd enjoy playing 9. Since it is a part of what some people call the golden age of the franchise, I bet I'd like it.
  21. FINAL FANTASY VIII... with more of an attempt to flesh out the other playable characters. They're pretty much a peanut gallery for the entire game. :/ Majora's Mask also needs a remake. If Wind Waker gets an HD remake and Ocarina of Time gets a 3D remake, why doesn't Majora's Mask get either? And Tiberian Sun could also use a remake. It's a fun game, but it hasn't aged well. :/
  22. Halo, Legend of Zelda, older Mario games, any FF before 8, Chrono Trigger and Cross, and Super Smash Bros!
  23. I didn't really like Halo 1's life system. Sure, it's more realistic, but in terms of gameplay it gets annoying after awhile. You don't want to go around a corner too fast or else you'll get your face blown off in two shots. How come you don't want Promethean weapons? It's good to have weapons that have multiple uses in the heat of battle. You can take away someone's shields with a Suppressor and finish them off without switching weapons, whereas an Assault Rifle isn't as effective against shields but rips unshielded foes to shreds. Although they could be tweaked to inflict a happy medium in terms of damage. A Lightrifle shouldn't deal as much shield damage as a Carbine, but inflict more than a DMR or BR. Reach had the vehicle stats just right. They exploded after taking enough damage, but they could take a lot of punishment. In Halo 4, it felt like every vehicle was made of paper. If the next Halo has a life meter for your vehicle like Covenant vehicles in Halo 1 did, that would help out a lot in battle. You can gauge your vehicle's condition based on its appearance, but there are some instances where you're not sure if you can peek around the corner in your Ghost and live or just get massacred. I like Halo 4's forge canvas maps. Combine them in a list with Halo 3's Sandbox and Halo 4's forge, and you've got endless possibilities. Other than those aforementioned points, I agree with everything you said.
