Incredible TV
on October 4, 2016
Posted by: Mike
I already owned a wonderful 55" Samsung 1080p tv, didnt really expect to want a new tv for a while. MS decides to add HDR to their Xbox One S. So I decide to upgrade not expecting much. I am blown away by how great this looks, especially while playing a game that takes advantage of the HDR (FH3). Anyone who is buying an Xbox One S for HDR gaming or 4k movies needs this tv.

I wouldnt normally buy something like this, but as a free promo I love them. On par with stuff you would used to get from Club Nintendo.

The beautiful, scenic Mediterranean republic of Medici used to be home to Rico Rodriguez. Even though he grew up here, he was forced to flee as a youngster when a violent military coup took control. Now, at the request of his friends, Rico returns — only to witness the near-complete destruction of the rebel forces. General Di Ravello was the head of the occupying force that originally seized power, and has remained in power ever since. Touting the victory over the rebels, Di Ravello threatens the rest of Medici. Rico, realizing what's at stake, decides to rally the freedom fighters, take back the land and liberate his home.Return to the epic franchise with Rico Rodriguez, as he takes on a new fight in Just Cause 3. Return to Rico's homeland, the Mediterranean republic of Medici, which has been violently occupied by General Di Ravello and his forces. Explore the massive open world from the ground and the air in exciting new ways, including helicopters, wingsuits and parachutes. Jump out of a helicopter with your wingsuit to complete unique challenges or surprise enemies by soaring around the world quickly. Enjoy an immersive environment that features dynamic terrain that adds realistic, 3D formations, including caves, tunnels, overhangs, cliffs, underground bases and more. Use the grapple to sling yourself forward and easily traverse between levels and areas — or take out enemies fluidly.

Fun, but with issues
on December 30, 2015
Posted by: Mike
The gameplay of this is fun, no doubt about that. Grappling and parachuting and shooting and blowing stuff up is all great. The load time is TERRIBLE. I may be exaggerating, but not by much, when I say it is Playstation 1 slow. This is on the Elites SSD too. I would recommend this if you dont mind sitting doing nothing every time you die or waiting for the next part to start.

You take the lead as your team approaches a clean new area, free of color and chaos. With a smirk, you take it all in — you'll soon change that. Two teammates begin spraying down walls, floors, ceilings and every other imaginable surface with ink, claiming this territory as your own with a vivid wash of your colors. You and another fighter scan the area for enemies. The opposition never sees you as you sneak up and douse them in an ink bath they'll never forget. This turf is all yours — it's time to move on and paint the whole world in your team's colors.Get messy with Splatoon, a fun-filled third-person action shooter that challenges you to cover levels, and enemies, with a brilliant spray of colorful ink. Take on the role of an Inkling, a squid-like fighter ready to cover yourself and everything around you with your team's hues. Cover the terrain around you in ink to claim it, and spray walls to gain access to hard-to-reach areas. Earn high-powered super weapons by soaking your turf in ink, so you can cover your enemies in color or spray more territory. Put on your thinking cap to dream up devastating strategies, but don't forget to keep an eye on your turf — too much attention on the other team may lead to a redecoration of your own territory. Easily refill your tank or hide from enemies with just a touch of a button, or transform into a squid and dive into ink for a blazing-fast speed boost. Attack your own way with a multitude of control options thanks to the Wii U GamePad controller, including gyroscopic controls that let you look around, aim and more with precision. Band together with three friends and get online to take on other teams in four-on-four matches that will have you perched on the edge of your seat. A color-soaked battle awaits — are you ready to claim your turf?

Great Colorful Kid Friendly "Shooter"
on December 21, 2015

This game is for kids but adults will love it too. Yes, you need more than one controller if you want to play with more than one person... Fairly obvious though. Also this game gets a lot of updates all the time online.

Another Fun Lego Game
on December 21, 2015
Posted by: Mike
Second best LEGO game out today, behind Lego Marvel. Lots of great humor in the game and fun gameplay. My one gripe is that one of the things I enjoy about the Lego games is unlocking all the characters, you dont do that here because you have to buy every character.

Fans of the last installment of Tomb Raider will love this. Great looking worlds, tons of great puzzles to work out and everything else you love from the last one are here. Combat can be a little boring but not too bad.

Great Controller, great console.
on December 7, 2015
Posted by: Mike
The hybrid hd I was hoping would be a little faster than it is. I dont really notice anything loading much quicker than it did on my Day One console. So if that is the reason you want to upgrade I wouldnt bother. If you dont have an XBO yet (why wouldnt you?) then pick this one up.
The controller is incredible. All the customization aside, this controller feels great in your hands. Perfect weight. The soft skin is a much better feel than the cold hard plastic of the normal controllers. I now see what all the hype was about with this thing. Glad I own one.

The intergalactic war changed everything and left a terrible wake of destruction and death. The few Earth survivors who remain are destined to make new lives in a world that is full of vibrant beauty, but also home to lethal creatures and unknown dangers. Every day is a struggle for survival when your surroundings are so uncertain — death could wait in the form of an enormous and terrifying dinosaur, or the sting of the smallest insect. To find your way in this strange new place, you'll need to hone your abilities and sharpen your fighting skills — do you have what it takes to survive?Designed by the creators of Baten Kaitos and Xenoblade Chronicles, Xenoblade Chronicles X plunges you into a world ripped apart by intergalactic war in a massive sci-fi role-playing experience that pits you against a threatening environment teeming with dangerous creatures. Wage combat against powerful beasts, from tiny bugs to towering dinosaurs. Climb aboard a weaponized mech and explore the far corners of a sprawling open world created with vivid, detailed high-definition graphics. Align yourself with a class and begin developing Arts — combat and defensive skills that can be customized with an Arts palette as you learn new abilities. Your powers are substantial, but once an Art is cast, a cool-down period must pass before it can be used again. Customize your playing experience by personalizing the main character's appearance, including gender, shape, height, skin color, voice and tattoos. The challenge ahead is perilous — are you ready to forge your way in a strange new world?

Best (Only?) JRPG on Wii U
on December 4, 2015
Posted by: Mike
First I will get this out of the way. If you only like games with great graphics and sound this isnt for you. The scenic views in this can be great, but the rest of the graphics are pretty bad. Looks like PS2 graphics, only rendered a little better. The sound is average at best and the music is just awful. Some people speak others just have text bubbles to read. If youre an RPG fan that wont bother you. When speaking the words do not match up with the lip movement. Petty complaints.
Now, if youve played Xenoblade Chronicles on the Wii or 3DS you will be used to the gameplay right off the bat. Same battle controls and same way to find items where you just go pick up these little markers on screen. If you have not played XB on Wii or 3DS you should probably just go play that since it is a better game, IMO.
As far as I am in the game I enjoy the story and the gameplay. A lot of reviews I have read say it gets boring later on but I have not hit that point.
Fact is, this is the only real RPG on the Wii U that I can think of, so if you enjoy the genre you will want to buy this game.

I purchased the product. Later I realized you need a separate control for more than one person to play.

Have you never played video games before? In order for more than one person to play at a time you will need more than one controller. Also, you need the internet in order to play online.
