How is twilight princess? I have a wii u and I am considering purchasing.

IMO it's the best 3D Zelda after Ocarina of Time. It's no-nonsense, nice and dark, vast, has a real sense of adventure. I doubt we'll get one any time soon but I'm holding out for a HD remake.

*disclaimer= I haven't played Majora's Mask yet!

I'm not too far into it yet, maybe 3 hours. It's getting better as it goes, the first hour or so kind of drags since you're mostly just running around doing things for random people in Link's village that they really could do themselves, lazy people, lol...
 
I got an $80 gift card to use and I miss target's buy 2 get 1 sale. I am leaning towards Donkey Kong or Super Smash bros. thoughts? Obviously I own a wii u.

I'd go for Smash Bros! Just because there's loads of stuff in it. DK is great but it's no Mario 3D World or Mario Wii U.

Bump! I am going to take advantage of some video game sales.....thinking of Super Smash Bros. Can anyone tell me if this game is ok with the Wii U Pro Controller?

I imagine so. It's got the same button layout as Smash Bros 3DS and I adapted to that after a few days (after only playing Smash games with a GC controller). Go for it! I don't have my copy yet but I'll try it out with my Pro Controller once it arrives. Hopefully today!

Awesome dude. Please do.
 
Halo: MCC (XB1) and Call of Duty Advanced Warfare (PS4)

All I will say is that for all the **** COD gets every year, they've managed to put together a a fair package that works well.

Halo on the other hand seems to require an update every time I load it (the most recent being 523MB in addition to the current 21GB+ already installed) and is still experiencing issues that can make it frustrating to play.

:mad:
 
Target was good to me

Picked up:

3ds- Mario Kart 7
3ds- Donkey Kong Country Returns
Wii U- a Super Smash Bros
Wii U- Donkey Kong Tropical Breeze

All for $115.
 
Far Cry 4.

It's very good, but maybe a bit too similar to FC3. It's really a spectacular game, but sometimes feels like "more of the same"...
 
Post us a review. Tempted to pick this up at some point as price is dropping for it on Amazon already.

Edit... Down to £22 on Amazon for the Xbox one edition, so I just bought it :)

Sleeping Dogs Definitive Edition
I have put in some good time with it and it is just ok to me. Average play through story, lots of button type mashing combat, and just alright gameplay.

It is like a generic version of GTA minus the character and visuals.

Not terrible at all, but just average.
 
SMASH BROS WII U oh my god. I think my gf and I have thrown in 15 hours since it arrived on Friday. Haven't had much time for...
Pokemon Omega Ruby. Brilliant but there's Smash Bros to play.
GTA V (PS4 and Vita). Still chipping away at this beast. Haven't done the first heist yet because it's so good to just walk around and play in.

Works fine! I'm sticking with my GC controller because it's what I'm used to, and when things get panic-y ingame I know where everything is :D
 
Bought a bunch of stuff on black friday:
XB1: Halo:MCC and Sunset Overdrive
Wii-U: Smash Bros and Bayonetta 2
PS4: Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor

Just started playing Dark Souls (PS3), but think I'll put it down for now and get some next-gen console on, so my list is now:

Last: Infamous Second Son (good karma playthrough)
Current: Halo:MCC (Halo 1 campaign), Smash Bros
Next: Sunset Overdrive, Bayonetta 2, Mordor, Dark Souls

Plenty to hold me over until Witcher 3 drops in February...
 
Just picked up XB1 on Wednesday (got the Target deal a day early). Really enjoying Forza 5 at the moment.

Such a great looking game and played amazingly but the load times killed any flow to actually enjoy the game to the fullest for me.

They were so long!

Disc or download? I'm not sure if it makes a difference but I downloaded this one and the load times aren't bad at all.
 
On the PC --> still playing Vampire - The Masquerade: Bloodlines (& lovin' it)

On the 3DS --> Fantasy Life -- omg, what a completely enthralling little game.
It is kind of a mash-up of Animal Crossing, Skyrim, and a jRPG. The story is great, and the diaglog is fun...I can see myself getting lost in this...

These are in addition to a huge, 15 year or so backlog...

Dark Souls alone is enough to keep you busy until February. lol
 
What game are you playing currently?

Assassins Creed Unity on the Xbox One. I'm very disappointed as I'm enjoying the game, looks great and I'm not experiencing the bugs and frame rate issues others reported since it released. Maybe because I'm playing with latest patches installed from outset?


Spoke too soon ... Yep it has a number of glitches and geometry bugs - but so far frame rate has been ok ... Oh well ...
