I liked Devil's Third. Never got 'round to completing it though - I should do that.

Also, the multiplayer was genius.

Anyone here have them?
I have Minecraft for Wii U, but I haven't played this version yet. I plan on being Terraria when it drops to $20, as well.
Same on both.

I think I probably hit my head, but someone locally is trying to sell the WiiU deluxe Mario Maker console kit, barely used, complete, and with Minecraft U as well for $175.

I'm very tempted to pick it up. I don't know what the hell is wrong with me. :\ I think I miss some of those games I had and a few more since have come up like Starfox that could be interesting. PS4 isn't getting stuff anymore that isn't going to PC I want anyway other than perhaps God of War and Last Guardian I don't have a good vibe about with years of delays. I also got Uncharted 4 months ago and it's still sealed, no idea why I have no ambition to open it, sometimes I think I'd be better off with a cheap used PS3 or blu ray player for the movies/streaming instead whcih is pathetic.

I never got to do anything that came out in the time since Mario Kart 8 popped up as I never got that one either so that, Starfox, Mario Maker, not sure what else. You factor in those selects destroying the crooked used market pricing on stuff like Pikmin 3 and the rest it makes for a foul temptation.

The Wii U is a great console, man. It doesn't have the game selection that I'd like, but there are still some gems you'd be hella remiss to forego.

I don't know I think I got most of the games of interest the first time around, not really sure all what I missed other than what I listed but I'd have to look, and no I don't think Devil's Third I'd even pay $5 for. Bayonetta maybe, but that no.

And I can watch most Segal movies, but even I have my limits. I know it will sound probably dumb, but I really detest tattoos and the guy looks like a walking pile of mistakes to me so it's a distraction. Throw that in with the fact I don't like most 3rd person combat type games like that and I see no reason to bother. I'm like the one person who won't touch games like Batman, Assassins Creed and the lot as they bore me before they even get going.

I got ky first chance to try Devil's Third tonight thanks to EF10 and his secret Santa gift. I did my best not to let the reviews sway me, especially because I liked Itagaki's games. First impressions after an hour are that I like it. Maybe a little cheesy, as Ivan comes off as Duke more than Agent 47, but I'm enjoying it for what it is so far.

Devil's Third is straight up AWESOME.

And hey, the Batman games bore the crap out of me too.

Darksiders has been announced for a retail release on the Wii U and will apparently be sold for $20. I've never played this so I'm looking forward to it.
