You know you've struck gold when you start comparing the game to the worst instead of the best. Playing ZombiU is like being the third-best player on the losing team - nothing to boast about, but hey! There are some worse players, like the kid with chronic asthma! ;O;
All UBI games feel generic ans samey under the hood.
I'm sssssooooooooooooooo tired of AC and ever openworld game made by UBI soft.
They are in basis all the same.
Zombi U is different on WIIU, on other systems I do not think they can get away with this game.
The gamepad was a great way to ante up the tension is some scenes.
The game is far to hard for me enjoy fully, though. IN the end it nailed the "having to survive in a post zombi apocalyptic world.".
Once your Die, you die and are being zombiefied. The game takes its elf far to serious.

You should not have mentioned the asthma part. as a reporter you should be subjective.
Saying in away that sick people are weaker by default I personally find offending.
A relative of mine died of asthma, far to young but, he could beat me at mind games any day, let alone simple console gaming.
He matured way to early because of his sickness, finding reasons to live for every day.
You comment sads me in a way...

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

It's not Ubisoft's fault and also keep in mind, they don't release "mature" games on Wii U anymore.
Although a very bad game, devil's third is being released on WiiU.

I'm sorry that my comparison triggered your memories and I feel for you and your relative with asthma who sadly passed away, however the comparison, although insensitive, still stands. As a reporter I have to be objective, not subjective - personal feelings don't matter when weighing pros and cons, and upon weighing them I've concluded that this game is objectively mediocre. The only tension the gamepad provided was not being able to move when you're browsing the inventory and that's trivial to replicate, it's a mechanic present in DayZ and State of Decay.

Pondering it all further it seems Ubisoft might be taking a similar path to the later years of ID in making good game engines and games to show that off, even if they are not great games in the end. Hopefully this will be the improve a base aspect side of things rather than a slapdash port, I am not hopeful though.

Bloody hell Foxi4, your about turn there damn near gave me a heart attack, we hired you to be a cancer upon the optimism that the news section shows. Anyway I had better calm down lest I have a stroke and wind up forgetting who I am.

Cancer doesn't even begin to describe the level of malice and vitriol I have in stock. ;O;

Bayonetta 2 came out in 2014 and it's a mature game on Wii U. We should not speak of shit.
It's been 3 years, I think the time for optimism is over and we can jot down the Wii U as a console that just wasn't adapted by the mature audience, much like we can jot down the PSVita as a handheld that won't get a lot of AAA content. Lessons learned, time to move on.

IIRC on E3 2012 (or was it 2011?) Nintendo intended the Wii U to be targeted at the hardcore gamers but just look at how it turned out to be.

WUPC was halfway there with the lack of a voicechat port and analogue triggers.

Bayonetta 2 is seriously the best exclusive the Wii U has, and possibly ever will have... the only game I could think of that MIGHT have a chance of unseating it in my mind is Zelda U, sow we'll see how that goes.

That'll probably not be so much of an exclusive, just remember what happened to Twilight Princess.

How can you declare probability when you know almost nothing about any of the factors involved?

Wii U commercial failure - Check!
Zelda Wii U profitable - Check!

So tell me, why would Nintendo keep Zelda Wii U as a Wii U exclusive knowingly that Wii U has sold so poorly? N's not that stupid and to make up for it even the amiibos have reached 14mil.

We know absolutely nothing about the Wii U's successor. We don't know when it comes out. We don't know how similar its architecture is and how easy it would be to port. We don't know what it's controller will be, nor do we know how fully how Zelda U plans on making use of the gamepad which will greatly affect its ability to be played on another system. You are simply jumping to conclusions on baseless speculation.
