niniendowarrior: The games I thought I would love but ended up really hating:
Xenoblade Chronicles X Zombi U The Wonderful 101 Super Mario/Luigi Bros. U Elmofongo: 1. Was it really that dissipointing? I own the First game on Wii (I have seen my brother and his girlfriend beat that game many times.) What was the problem?
2. I assume its not up to par with games like Day-Z?
3. Isn't that the game that is supposedly like Pikmin?
4. Do you say this after having played Passed "New" Super Mario Bros. games?
Because so far New Super Mario Bros. U looks like the best of all the games. I mean the Bowser fight is certainly more hype:

On the plus side, its graphics is really good and they created a very huge world. Whatever you see in the horizon, you can actually go there. There's no invisible walls at all. That was the only thing I liked though. XCX story has untapped potential. A lot of its issues has to do with its characters and writing. It's just downright awful. Cutscenes are abysmal. The combat is OK, but the amount of grinding involved is crazy, especially when you start dealing with skells. There are huge spikes in difficulty in some areas. Its system of combat and other aspects are overly complicated. It's a game that requires the internet juuuuuuust to wrap your head around it and play it properly. The final boss is just the icing in this sh*t cake.
2. Zombi U is a competent survival horror 1st generation Wii U title. However, it stops being scary after you figure things out. The constant cricket bat swings gets tiresome and the game doesn't pose as much issues as you'd think a survival horror game does. The weapon selection is pitifully small too. There are lousily designed level segments that utterly bring down the entire experience for me. There's enough ideas to make this an interesting product to try. Ultimately, its flaws were too much for me. People who pick this game up have to remember one thing. It's not a shooter even if it feels like it. Day-Z it isn't nor should it be compared to that.
3. Wonderful 101 is like Pikmin, except it attaches to some stylus gimmick that has a high learning curve. This game also doesn't have any effective means of training you to become good at it. The only way to learn is to stick with it and well, stick with it. I also have problems because I'm left handed so pulling out the stylus to draw symbols means letting go of the left stick for mobility. Couple that with horrible kiddie writing in a ho-hum package and you have a perfectly mediocre game.
4. That's the game I played and finished. It's just punishment. Utter punishment. I didn't enjoy my journey. It felt like an old Mario game with a new coat of paint. The mechanics don't feel fun anymore. If you're going to get this, might as well buy Super Mario Maker for more interesting Bowser showdowns. Super Luigi U is even mooooooore punishment.
