The humor reminds me of later season south park episodes and team america where they make fun of cheesy action movies. I think this is going to be a real special game.

I wasnt expecting "next gen" at all, I was expecting it to look exactly like a ps3/ 360 game.
ok so i picked this up at walmart last night and played about an hour or so
I have to say i have chuckled quite a bit at some of the jokes, maybe ashamedly so... juvenile humor but funny nonetheless
I love the graphical style, the music and everything is good. The City is amazing so far. Feels like GTA SA in lego form, i made it as far as the country area and the long stretches of highway with scenic hills really are fun to explore.
My only issue is with the camera movement and loading times. Loading times are pretty long and frequent enough to be a bit of a bother. If your just free roaming it seems fine, its story segments that grind to a halt.
Also, when i go to rotate the camera around it moves SO slow... kind of a pain when your jumpign around collecting studs and always feel like the camera is trying to catch up to you
other than that, like it so far

Loving the game, load times are breaking my balls though

The sad thing is that I was expecting that as well. It isn't very fun facing the reality that the Wii U (next gen) has games outside of the launch window that look like "previous gen" games.
I do agree with everyone else that the game itself is great. I'm at work now, but I can't wait to play it again when I get home!
From the videos I've seen, I will have to complete all of these super build. They look amazing.
While I agree, with all the games so far (except for Nintendo's titles probably) the developers didn't have the final dev kits for a long time
NfS:MW hopefully is an indication of things to come. I'm sure by E3 we will see stuff that looks quite a bit nicer than "last gen".
I'm playing from external harddrive myself (Now at Albatross). I honestly don't think the load time is bad at all. May be it's different for physical copy or something, but I never felt that annoyed by it.
Also, game is awesome. Felt satisfying building superbuilds and unlocking thousands of stuffs in this game.

Where's the part about the shipping issue again? I found the game all over the place easily yesterday. It was the same case with Fire Emblem. Maybe just you Amazon and Gamestop folks?
Standing in oncoming traffic and blasting the cars away with my grapple gun makes for some great fun and massive amounts of bricks.
My only complaint is the jaggies. They're pretty bad in some places. The load times are definitely slow, but I'm not hitting loading areas too often. And yes, the camera control is definitely slow. It would be nice if they let us adjust that.

Where do you live? I think all these delays have to do with the transit time between the distributor and the retail stores. Monday was more of a "ship" date than a "release" date.
Yeah the problem was/is pretty much, that they started shipping on the 18th and not before.
This is very in-line with Nintendo shipping practices. Really Important Releases get special shipping treatment so they're available everywhere on a specific day, but for most releases everything just sort of filters in over the course of the week depending on the retailers' own logistics.
Conspiracy theories are really getting out of hand.
Conspiracy theories ARE getting out of hand. But at this point, all Wii U releases are "Really Important Releases" worthy of shipments to be available at retail at the official release date given to the public. Especially a game THIS good.

Yeah, it is pretty bad. I think this is the first game that I have played in a very long time that has no Anti Aliasing mode at all. It is so bad that I doubt that any AA is applied, even at a low level. It really does kill the graphics and I can imagine if they were able at least to apply 2xaa or even 4xaa how much better this game would look. The fact that they blur the backround should of allowed them to apply some form of AA.
Game is still fun as hell though and that is what counts..but still one of the more shittier looking games overall in a while.

I don't see any conspiracy theory in my post. In fact, I thought I agreed with you about this just being Nintendo's normal shipping policy. It does suck that Nintendo listed Monday as a "release date" and also sent out emails on Monday saying "AVAILABLE NOW", though.
For a second I thought they actually hired morgan freeman
I SURE AM DO!
You did and I understood that; sorry. I did not mean you were advancing conspiracy theories.

Ok, gotcha. I just can't wait until I get the game so I can actually talk about the game itself too
To build the bike? Is closer to the ferry dock. You need to break something for it to drop.

I'm trying to be patient with my local GameStop. But the Best Buy in town has the game available for pickup. Damn it...

Loving every bit of this game. The loadings are bearable in some places, very few are 1min loading screens. LOL at the progress bars reference in the supercomputer, they know the issue.
This game is pure gold. I believe this can be a system seller.
36 hours downloading, worth it.

I LOL'd at that too.
It won't be a system seller for the same reason NintendoLand wasn't. Crappy marketing by Nintendo, plus the vast majority of the gaming press which will write this off as "just another lego title" just like NintendoLand was "just another wii sports".

For those of us who downloaded the game, how can we access the game manual?
This may seem like an odd question, but I've been trying to figure out how to unlock cars and a few other things. There is a specific car I've been looking for that I've been unable to find for the last two days. I had it on the first day I was playing, the car looks like a classic Dodge Charger.

Yes, not that it is going to be a system seller, but it has all the potential IMO.
Hit the HOME button and the digital manual is the green book on the lower right corner. Just touch !
Well, from my experience with ZombiU retail vs digital, I experienced 20% less load times. Might be similar here.
I completely agree. I can't remember the last time I enjoyed the humor and story in a game this much. Really cool.
Is there a way to leave the 4 hour inactive shut off function on while also forcing the machine to stay on while downloading something? Fucking dumb as hell if I have to turn that off everytime I download something (considering anything over 10mb seems like it will take more than 4 hours).
Like the hat?

Does anyone have the disc that can time the initial load screen? I can do my digital load screen now.
39.5 seconds for the initial progress bar load screen (the first progress bar after you start up the game, so it's right after the tt games logo, etc.)
Timed from the moment the progress bar screen appeared to the moment the title screen appeared.

I ran into the same problem.
Thanks! This is my first digital Wii U game, I was wondering how Nintendo handled this kind of stuff.
Yes, in the systems menu - turn auto off
