Anyone here have a wii u? Thinking of picking one up tomorrow. Got a ps4 but love Mario/Zelda/donkey kong style games.

Yeah I've got one. A lot of great games I can recommend. Smash bros 4, super mario 3d land, donkey kong country tropical freeze, The legend of zelda wind waker HD, mario kart 8. Some interesting games coming out this year as well xenoblade chronicals X, splatoon. It may not be as powerful as the other systems but you wouldn't know it playing some of the games. I think its an under rated system, I hated the wii so for me this system is a return to form for Nintendo.

Cheers. Yeah I hated the wii as well so thats good to hear. So many great looking games on there. Will definitely grab one next time I'm at the shops.

this is also very good if you want something more violent

GTA V on pc yus. After sorting out the settings so my aiming actually works, it's sweet. Still getting used to it, bought a 360 controller for driving any any flying later :)

:lol: holy shit!

Scotty - forgot to update you on OoT.

I finished the game on the weekend. Was spewing that the Spirit Temple needed me to equip a shield - I worked so hard on completing the game without one! I also went through two fairies, dying, attempting to find ways to kill the witches without using the shield, but to no avail. I forgot how hilarious their death scene was :lol:

I also forgot about the entire pre-Gannondorf rooms in the castle. That was a pleasant surprise, to have a bit more work to do.

Also, Gannondorf was way hard to kill than his reincarnated Ganon. Both were easy enough, but the first instance of him was heaps harder. For the big guy at the end, you just roll under his legs and can avoid all pain.

I think I'll crack into MM next week.

Go back and do GDorf with just a bottle for deflecting ;)

That's how I did it :lol:

I thought I could get away with doing that for the witches too, but no luck.

Picked up the new mortal kombat pretty sweet so far though the added micro transactions are a little annoying

Anyone on WOW?

On a break at the moment whilst busy at work. Will probably take it up again when 6.2 drops.

Has a Playstation logo at the start; trailer is a lie.

probably about 3 seconds of actual gameplay in that trailer. Expect a downgrade in visuals closer to launch.

It's DICE. Don't buy until 6 or 12 months later. They haven't made a solid game since BF2.

Made some cash in GTA, and hella upgraded two of the cars :)

thats a fine lookin car, rob many banks with it?

I don't think the SP campaign has done any bank jobs yet. I'm just tooling around trying not to smash too many story missions.

I keep spending all my cash on cars. I've got that one, did Michaels' car, did a second full upgrade for another Franklin car, and am halfway through upgrading Lester's shitbox. He's got no money though.

Announcement trailer for the new Total War: Warhammer. Would have preferred a LoTR game, but I'm interested to see how the series tackles fantasy.

Trailer looks cool (the shot at 0:59 - 1:05 is awesome), but knowing Creative Assemblies recent track record I'm not too hype about this game.

AUSTRALIANS MAY HAVE TO PAY TAX ON STEAM AND NETFLIX

228 We'll find out at 7:30 p.m. AEST Tuesday, May 12.
BY JENNA PITCHERAustralians may have to fork out extra money on Steam if the upcoming Federal Budget deems they have start paying tax on games bought from the distribution platform.

The Australian federal government may introduce a tax, dubbed the "Netflix tax," that would add 10 percent to digital goods bought online, such as games, movies and books. While Australians currently don’t pay GST for online purchases under US$1,000, the new tax will mean consumers may have to shell out an extra 10 percent for services like Netflix and Steam.

The Australian reported earlier this week that cabinet ministers rejected a proposal for the Netflix Tax but The Age today reports that the tax may still be included in next week’s Federal Budget 2015.

Netflix US has previously stated that it will add the GST to its service when the federal government passes it. The redrafting of the Tax Act won’t change the price of iTunes downloads as Australian consumers already pay GST on purchases from Apple's online store. IGN Logo

Aus Gov: "Steam, apply GST to your purchases and give us the money"
Steam: "Nah"
Aus Gov: "Fuck, we should've actually thought this through, how was this ever going to be enforced?"

has anyone played This Means War on iOS.

goddamn addictive

I look forward to Government tax+ Steam Australian Tax + US conversion fee if this goes ahead.

Fuck Australia.

If anyone here owns a WiiU and wants to play mario Kart 8 or Smash bros 4 my id is: switters83

Hope you haven't modded your game yet :lol:

Any of you plebs get the witcher 3?

I saw an ad on Youtube, which is the first time I've heard about it. Looks pretty cool.

Shame it was watered down for consoles.
