MarioKart WiiU, Yoshis Island, Super Smash Bros WiiU, Mario Galaxy WiiU, Zelda, and a WiiU Zelda Windwaker is a pretty awesome bunch of announcements though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoSox05 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 I love MarioKart. If the new Xbox wasn't coming out I would buy a WiiU just for that game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always wanted to work there but i'm not a designer or creative person. That and they make crappy games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, people would remember things you did and said, but no matter what the ultimate ending was the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is if Retro Studios isn't developing Mario Kart, then they'll have a big announcement at E3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked it, but it has some definite issues. I don't think it should have won any game of the year awards. It's worth playing, but it lacks polish. Plus, it's point and click adventure so you have to like that genre to some extent or else it gets long. Some of the best storytelling you'll see in video games though.

GameCube was the skip. The 64 had a few, Wii had a lot, WiiU is continuing it. I'm really excited to see the gamepad Conversion for Aliens: Colonial Marines. I think it is gonna be awesome. Some of the stuff I do with the gamepad already with just Nintendoland and the ZombieU demo is really cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you expect? The devs to make 10 entirely different versions of 1 game? How about two or three different endings? Is that really asking too much for a game all about "choice"? I could name a half dozen games off the top of my head in a variety of genres that offer multiple endings based on your decisions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it all depends on your version of different, but it's hard to make a sequel when you're trying to make distinctly different endings.

The original Metal Gear Solid had two different endings, based on a single event halfway through the game. As far as the sequels are concerned, one ending is the actual one that occurred. I guess I was disappointed that a few key events didn't have a larger impact on the ending in the Walking Dead. In particular, deciding whether or not to take the food out of the "abandoned" car. It's cool that decision came back into the story, but it really changes nothing in the end other than a conversation you have with someone.

DrunkBomber Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 I only played through it once, but I read that no matter what you choose it always will be the same ending for Lee and the same people will be alive at the end. The only difference is how long certain people live based on what choices you make when you decide who to save in what situation. In the sequel I imagine there will be a new group and a new main character since Lee is dead. It wouldnt make sense to play as Clementine and it would be difficult to play as anyone else and not carry over Lee's feelings for Clementine.

Any piece of literature or film that has ambiguous or branching endings or a wide range of people writing for the same characters (e.g. Star Wars, comic books) makes these choices.

KOTOR I (I thought KOTOR II was a better game but the mediocre ending really did nothing for me, though I never played with the Wookie, forgetting his name) Fallout: New Vegas (main storyline and all DLC had multiple endings) Fallout 3 A lot of games like that do anyways.

Quin Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jan 24, 2013 -> 12:24 PM) f*** now I have to play this game too Fun fact: Bethesda claims that the scale of the game is equal to twice the size of Great Britain:[3] around 487,000 square kilometers/ 188,000 sq miles. The game world features over 15,000 towns, cities, villages, and dungeons for the player's character to explore. According to Todd Howard, game director and executive producer for Bethesda, the game's sequel, The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, is 0.01% the size of Daggerfall, but most of Daggerfall's terrain was randomly generated. Vvardenfell, the explorable part of Morrowind in the third game has 10 square miles (25.9 square kilometers).[4][5] The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion has approximately 16 square miles (41.4 square kilometers) to explore.[6] In Daggerfall, there are 750,000+ non-player characters (NPCs) for the player to interact with, compared to the count of around 1,000 NPCs found in Morrowind and Oblivion. However, the geography and the characters in these later games are much more detailed. It takes a couple weeks to walk from one end of the map to the other.
