When I first hookup my Wii U I know I have to update the data (firmware), Okay, no problem. But every f*cking game I play the first time I have to spend 10 minutes to update?
It rarely happens to PS3/Xbox 360 games; it only take couple minutes (the most) to update the patch or other things. Why Wii U games have long initial update for first time play?
I just don't know why......
It's the same with most PS3 games, shit takes forever.
like the PS3, frequently accessed data is copied to the HDD/Internal storage the first time to help with loading times
Oh, so basically it's like PS3 to save data to internal hard drive? That means I'll need to get external HDD soon............:X
Fuckin A. The ps3 is the worst with updates. I can't turn the shit on to watch a movie without updating the firmware or a game.
I would have to concur with you on that one as the PS3 is notorious for it's updates.Quote:

Yeah, everytime I power down my Wii U the power indicator turns orange, showing that the system is performing an update check in standby.
protip: Wii-u sucks.
PSN+ downloads game patches when system is off.
Stop being a bunch of cheap Chinese Jews.

:(

Bayonetta 2, but that's next year (I believe).
I will probably buy a PS4 before I buy another Wii U title, unless they surprise us with a Zelda game.
Still glad I bought it.
that's what you guys get for moving up to these "current gen" systems. ppfftttt!
not interest in Wonderful 101 and Sonic Lost World?Quote:

Sonic has to prove it to me before I 'll get interested. Too many shitty Sonic games over the years and I'm feeling a little snakebit by the whole thing.
All the systems take forever to patch.
WiiU and PS3 can do some patching while in standby now.
close, lock, bury.
No way bro. I pretty much watch a movie on amazon instant video at least once or twice a week through my ps3 and it updates at least once every 2 weeks. I have the automatic update feature turned on and on top of all the shit it told me it updated when I turn it on it still asks to update the movie software and the firmware. My 360 updates like once a year.Quote:

MGS4 and Gran Turismo 5 were painful. There was only so much I could watch Snake smoke before I just had to walk away.
Grand theft auto IV was pretty bad too.Quote:

It's weird coming into a thread where people were talking about you 15 hours ago.
I watch netflix and amazon instant video on the ps3 every day (not exaggerating), so I know for a fact it doesn't update software or firmware once a week let alone twice. We all hate updates man, but come on ;)Quote:

Just a follow-up post about The Wonderful 101.
I am excited for this game, but i don't think it will be amazing....I anticipate it will be something like an 8/10 for me, and here's why...
I fear that the game may rely too heavily on scripted events. Not QTE's, but events that are staged and can only be handled a certain way (use giant wonderful hand unite now!!!) etc etc.
I am afraid this game will not offer alot of the freedom that could be found in something like Pikmin 3....and that's ok. I still think the game will be enjoyable, but I don't think this will a perfect game by any means....
Exactly.Quote:

I donīt know how Wii u handles the downloaded games but it canīt be much worse than PS3, can it?
I just was reminded why my PS3 has been gathering dust for the past couple of years.
I donīt get the exclusive access to my living room tv that often, certainly not to play any kind of game that is not suitable for my kids to view. So, if I get an hour of time when wife is out shopping with kids, that would be a great time for me to play. Problem is, I need at least 4 such occasions before I get to play a game. Hereīs how it usually goes:
Most Usual scenario:
1) Nowīs my time! I find whatever scary game on playstation network (playstation plus often has free games so why not) and start downloading. Thatīs it. Itīs 6 gigabytes, its not going to be downloaded before wife and kids are back home
2) Month later, I have forgotten about it and find it on my hard drive as uninstalled... I delete it to make room for another game
Rare scenario where I get a bit further:
1) Nowīs my time! I find whatever scary game on playstation network and start downloading. Thatīs it. Itīs 6 gigabytes, its not going to be downloaded before wife and kids are back home
2) Month later, I have forgotten about it and find it on my hard drive as uninstalled... I start installing it. Thatīs it. Itīs 6 gigabytes, its not going to be installed before wife and kids are back home
3) Another month later I just delete it to make room for another game as the hard drive is full of games I never had time to play.
Super ultra rare scenario where I get to actually play the game a bit
1) Nowīs my time! I find whatever scary game on playstation network and start downloading. Thatīs it. Itīs 6 gigabytes, its not going to be downloaded before wife and kids are back home
2) Month later, I have forgotten about it and find it on my hard drive as uninstalled... I start installing it. Thatīs it. Itīs 6 gigabytes, its not going to be installed before wife and kids are back home
3) Another month later, I have again forgotten about it and find it on my hard drive as an installed game... I start trying to play it. Nope. it requires an update. Thatīs it, the update is pretty much as big as the initial install package. Itīs not going to be ready before wife and kids are back home.
4) Another month later, I have again forgotten about it and find it on my hard drive as an installed and updated game... I start trying to play it. Nope. it requires ANOTHER update. This time though, it is smaller and takes only 10 minutes to download and update. I start trying to play it again. Of course the intro video takes another 15 fucking minutes and it canīt be skipped. I play 5 minutes of the first level of the game, it seems boring... wife and kids are back home... thatīs it
That is why my ps3 is gathering dust. I much rather boot up my cab for a nice half an hour game of Shock Troopers or Blazing Star. They dont need installing, they dont need updating, they just boot up and fucking work.
I just unsubscribed from playstation plus. Itīs wonderful service but I just dont find the time to play those "free" games.
I don't see why you need PSN+ for something that should just be standard.Quote:

EDIT: I'm with the consensus, the PS3 sucks because of that updating bullshit. Couldn't turn the thing on without being annoyed by that.
Me and you are in the same boat my friend. Just do what I do, watch a movie or power on the old genny and play Streets of Rage 2 for the 6 billionth time.Quote:

Might be a week, month, 2 months, a year.
Psn+ gives you alot of free game rentals too if you have time to play them of course. I call them rentals because the minute you cancel the service your going to have to pay regular price for everything you downloaded for free.Quote:

Some games were ridiculous, like Heavy Rain adding PS Move support along with updating fixes and then the install. Even Uncharted 2 had a big update for campaign and a bigger update for the multiplayer when I bought it a year after it was released. Like I said it varies... but lately the newer exclusive releases seem to have gotten better about it.
Wii outsells WiiU over last three months.
Guys, it's ok that nobody gives a flying fuck about the WiiU and that it's probably already a dead system. The 3DS is kicking ass! Nintendo is still successful! I can sleep comfortably at night! Fuck the haterz! Sony and Microsoft got nuthin'!
I care about the Wii U...alot...Quote:

It's like New Super Mario Bros U....but it's with LUIGI.
LUIGIIIIIIIIII
it doesn't even seem like Nintendo is trying with this thing
The 2-headed avalanche is coming through sometime in November and the Wii-U looks like it'll be buried long before then.
http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/pdf/2013/130731e.pdf
That breaks down to:Quote:
With respect to Wii U, New Super Luigi U, which is add-on content for New Super Mario Bros. U released
simultaneously with the Wii U hardware last year, was released, and Game & Wario, released in Japan in March,
was released overseas. The worldwide sales of Wii U hardware and software were 0.16 million units and 1.03 million
units respectively mainly due to the release of few key first-party titles this quarter to strongly drive the hardware sales.
Regarding Nintendo DS (DS, DS Lite, DSi and DSi XL), the worldwide sales of its hardware and software were 0.06
million units and 2.15 million units respectively. Also, the sales of the Wii hardware and software were 0.21 million
units and 3.67 million units respectively worldwide.
90k from Japan
60k from North America
10k from Other
Only 1 word to describe that: Atrocious. It's approaching Ouya launch number territory there.
I hope you're being ironic when you say you think Luigi will 'drastically' turn the numbers around.Quote:

Nobody cares but the Nintendo diehards. And they've mostly already adopted the hardware.
hmm, not so much "ironic", more "cheeky"...Quote:

It's sad with the Wii U that I've used it more in this past month to play Earthbound then used it ever. I'd download one of the 30 cent games for the promotion, but other then that it stays off. I'm getting ready for a 3DSXL. I heard they just announced a black version for the US, but I'm going to hold out for Black Friday in November. Because of two things. A price drop or an XL bundle with the new Zelda. If they don't I'll just pick a color I like and get a Circle Pad Pro off Amazon (Cheaper then Nintendo's official site) and be done with it.
I really want to like the system but I can't get into it, it's been collecting dust and the last time I even turned it on was in February. The new Smash brothers looks promising thought.
