it was pretty annoying

Finally got around to downloading season one of The Walking Dead game. About to start Episode 4. Been a long time since a game has made me so emotionally involved.

If I haven't said Mount & Blade: Warband before, it's only because I've been too busy playing it. Well worth whatever they charge for it.

Just finished Episode 4 of season one of The Walking Dead Game.

Dear god; Ben is a useless kid.

Ultimate Team is class. Would love to be able to get back into FIFA.

Well the servers are down now until 7 after EA said they'd be down until 4. Rightly pissed off now.

I'll get back into FIFA once they fix Career mode. FIFA 14's was, frankly, a little bit embarrassing in how glitchy it was.

Did you have it on the PS3/360? I had it on that before and it was shíte, hardly played it. Then I got a PS4 and it's so much better, can't see them fixing it on the old-gen tbh.

Had 14 on the 360. If I get it again, twill be on the theoretical PS4 or PC that I'm going to buy.

A lot of it was just minor glitches that take you out o the experience, like names not appearing in news articles, looking totally different on the sideline than you did on the field if you progress from player to manager, random glitches where the substitute graphic will stay on the screen for the rest of the game, and a slew of others. Nothing game breaking, just, I dunno, indicative of a slap-dash production.

There's a new 3DS out. It's called New 3DS. And it has an XL version. See that little button above the ABXY buttons? That's an analog stick.



That's 5 new DS's in 4 years.

2011: 3DS
2012: 3DS XL
2013: 2DS
2014: New 3DS & New 3DS XL

This must be the conversations in the Nintendo offices:

If any of our consumers can understand what we're doing, then we're not doing our jobs right.

People say "if it ain't broke, don't fix it", Nintendo say "If it ain't broke, we'll **** it up good"

And I hate the buttons. And the current 3DS games won't work on it. Or the other way around.

pity Nintendo are dying on their ass because of the WiiU. The sales figures are a joke.

It's supposed to actually be a decent console though.

That's the sad part.

It's a decent console with a horrid controller and no third-party support. Basically it's a secondary console for those that want to play Nintendo games, but who in their right mind would have it as their primary console bar kids who don't know any better?


In the grand scheme of things though, I wouldn't worry about Nintendo. They have chests full gold that'll last them for decades.

Not too sure about that tbh, can't see them continuing if they're not making money.

I believe 3DS is still bringing in hot loot. (Haven't looked at sales figures recently so maybe it's tailed off).

I could see them ducking out of home consoles if the "Wii U and Mii" fails.

Maybe not quite yet. http://businessetc.thejournal.ie/nintendo-q2-2014-earnings-report-loss-1596539-Jul2014/

Nintendo said it sold 510,000 Wii U consoles globally in the quarter, well up from 160,000 units in the same quarter last year.

It looks amazing alright . Bigger lobbies will hopefully lead to more craziness too.

spotted an xbone in Cex on cruises street yesterday. 365 quid. With gta coming I almost got it. Wouldn't have been able to pay my rent this month but I'd gave been having oh so much fun

Some people are getting a PS4+CoD:AW in Argos for €349... I was incredibly tempted...

Bloody college eating up all my time and making buying a new console a non-runer!

Anyone know if you can use a ps3 controller for playing on a laptop? I know you can do it with a 360 controller...
