PS Plus free Minis don't work on Vita, Sony is on the case

@Faceless Troll
True, I don't know why people expect products they buy to work. It just seems so selfish!

Mass Effect 3 standard edition contains reversible FemShep cover

My female shepard is a bitch and my male shepard is a nice guy. FYI for those that only play the male version, the female voice actor is wayyyyyy better.

A lot of people these days are afraid to have a credit card on xbox live because of fifa hacks.

Final Fantasy XIII-2 review: Fixing the past

I'm glad for the review. After 13 I was on the fence about this one. Now I know to skip it.

Remembering the best JRPG ever

Jan 27th 2012 8:02PM (Joystiq)
Jrpg's used to be my favorite type of game but they have, depending on the game, not changed or evolved for the worse. Wrpg's on the other hand have become increasingly impressive. I recently got dragon age ultimate for 360 on amazon for $20. That game is far better than the likes of final fantasy 13 which was a huge disappointment for me. Final fantasy used to be my favorite series.

Wii U getting user accounts as part of 'Nintendo Network'

We should all throw Nintendo a welcome to 2006 party.

Big Huge Games strongly recommends Reckoning install on Xbox 360

If you have an EA account associate with your live ID email address then your Mass Effect 3 DLC is safe. The Kingdom of Amalore DLC is associate with a different account, I forget which. Personally I"m more concerned with the ME3 DLC.

Wii U launching worldwide in time for 'year-end season'

Jan 26th 2012 10:39PM (Joystiq)
@KaBob799 Sure, I know just as much as you do. You can tell me it's going to be a god machine and I'll tell you it's going to be more powerful than the PS3 and Xbox 2 but not NEARLY as powerful as the Xbox 3 and PS4. Who will be right? Only time will tell (me). It will run current gen games that are ported to it and not run next gen games. People that buy this for hardcore games are going to get stuck with this thing to play a bunch of minigames with again except this time it will be worse because most of the "expanded audience" that they created won't want to buy a new one of these when they already have one. I predict this will not be a great deal for gamers, it's going to be something of a Gamecube type of failure (while still profitable for Nintendo).

As for the processor, I can tell you with certainty that the "tablet" is not going to have a real graphics processor. It's going to be a dumb terminal for the Wii U. There's just no chance in the world that they're going to create a REAL tablet that competes with the likes of the Ipad or Android AND bundle it with a new console and be able to charge anywhere near the price range games expect. It won't be usable away from the Wii U, it won't have Wifi, it won't have a web browser, it won't have apps. It won't do anything a real tablet does. It's got controls on it and if you look at the pictures of it, it looks very uncomfortable to hold.

Wii U launching worldwide in time for 'year-end season'

Jan 26th 2012 8:16PM (Joystiq)
You seem to think this is next gen. Its no more next gen than adding kinect was. Don't fool yourself, this is a port machine. For example, the next final fantasy will be a PS game and ported to Wii and xbox. It will not be a Wii game first. This means Wii U versions will always be inferior. Could the original Wii play something like Final Fantasy 13 or MGS4? No. Will the Wii U be able to play Xbox 3 and PS4 games? No. its fine if you consider it next gen but its only going to be a machine that ports current gen software so I won't consider ir next gen. I predict a $250 launch price since the 'tablet' has no processor and simply streams from the Wii U. Also, the 'tablet' uses resistive and not capacitive touch so it will be cheap. Lastly, it looks uncomfortable to use as a controller.
