I still have to look down at my 360 pad to realize the button layout. Though I imagine a large part of that confusion stems from barely touching it since I use it for PC.

I have the hardest time with quick time events on an 360 controller for some reason. I fail them every time because I have to look down at it. The SNES controller completely ruined my knowledge of where A, B, X, and Y are.

2 player online on the same machine with 2 screens but all they talk about is the button layout xD

 

[LCfiner]

I guess it is kinda cool that you can have two people play in the same room without needing to split the screen.

But it doesn't seem like something to buy a system over (well, maybe for some families).

Yeah - I don't do it anymore but when jumping DS/360 the button prompts were frustrating at times.

Did they go through the Miiverse stuff at the start? Only just started watching now.

Do people get this game on PS3 so they don't have to play the Gold fee? I'd imagine that would be a reason to get it on WiiU as well.

 

[Salvadora]

Love the 2 screen multiplayer.

I think this is probably the greatest thing of all time. Having 2 players playing in the same room online without a splitscreen. It's no LAN or multiple PCs in the same room, but I would have killed to have had this back when I was younger with my brothers.

They skipped Miiverse cause they couldn't connect to their WiFi network.

 

[Delusibeta]

I like that the "connection lost" graphic was a cable being pulled out because the Wii U doesn't have ethernet.

At least someone in Activision finally got rid of the Quake 3 "connection lost" graphic.

 

[Hoo-doo]

How often does gb do this kind of stuff?

Livestreams? Usually once a week at least. They'll sometimes dedicate shows to old consoles as well, like the TurboGraFX or the 3DO.

 

[Zombie James]

That multiplayer option looks like it works pretty well, though.

 

[BobTheFork]

Is the site down? I've watching on twitch but I've been getting a 'data not received error' for 20 minutes and I can't load Giantbomb on any device.

If I was younger and had a brother this would be the absolute killer app. Kind of want a port of RE5 now.

I think they're getting slammed. I couldn't connect to gb so I'm watching on twitch.

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

yeah, they said it on stream

I just hope it's a way around the BS "Everyone needs a copy of the game to play multiplayer" crap that's been going on this generation. I still have never been so disappointed as when my roommate got a copy of Too Human and we found out you couldn't do two player on the same system.

 

[maquiladora]

oh jeff

 

[LCfiner]

"other than an erection"

Yup.

 

[LQX]

Wow! Is that over 12 million watching accurate?

I tell you. Wii U is not impressing me but I would much rather that TV/Pad setup over split screen on TV. That looked great.

 

[MoonLightWave]

Wow! Is that over 12 million watching accurate?

Viewed*, 17.000 watching right now.

 

[notworksafe]

Wow! Is that over 12 million watching accurate?

That's total views over the lifetime of the channel. Current is 17k

That's not the people watching

OK, seems like they're almost done with Black Ops. Let's see some Wii U specific stuff, yeah!

 

[chogidogs]

Dance time!

 

[Typographenia]

It's always dance time.


I'm hoping they'll get to Rabbids and let Vinny sit in. : )

 

[SJRB]

I agree with Patrick - pop in ACIII and see how the WiiU handles that.

 

[Avallon]

OK, seems like they're almost done with Black Ops. Let's see some Wii U specific stuff, yeah!

I think they're going to play Assassin's Creed III.

 

[Coolwhip]

Even looking at COD bores me. Stream down for anyone else?

 

[Majine]

I want them to show Miiverse/Eshop!

 

[maquiladora]

Holding out on ACIII for PC, don't want to see any of that yet :/

 

[Zombie James]

Did the gamepad crash? :/

edit: Ok, that was weird.

 

[maquiladora]

Wii U crash

*facepalm*

 

[Circle Jerk]

Oh good. Menus.

You're going to have to rip off that band aid soon enough. I'm also waiting for the PC version (to go on sale) and it's good to have some leveled expectations.

I can't even load the site.

 

[LCfiner]

ok, front end stuff. kind of curious.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Steven Totilo's handwriting lol

 

[Hoo-doo]

So damn slow. I love the functionality and look, but it really needs to loading faster.

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

I can't even load the site.

[XenodudeX]

So you can't take screenshots yourself, but it takes them for you. I knew that feature was too good to be true. Oh Nintendo.

 

[Vlodril]

the social aspect looks really good.

 

[Owensboro]

So, they are all using 3DSs in order to transfer their old Miis. What if you don't have a 3DS but have a bunch of Miis on your old Wii? Will a system transfer bring all of those over?

Edit: I cannot believe that sentence isn't gibberish.

 

[Incendiary]

Seems like the loading is really problematic and slow. Think I'm gonna wait for a later generation of Wii U.

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

Wow that was pretty slow. Like 7 seconds?
