Better cancel your Wii U order while you can.

Ha, joking aside, have you ordered stuff from Tesco before? How good are the odds of it arriving in time for launch day? I ordered my copy from an Austrian retailer that has its HQ just a few hours away from where I live and says they'll dispatch it on Thursday. Would be great if the whole gang had it in time for Friday night.

Not sure if I've ever pre-ordered anything from Tesco before, but they're usually good with delivery. The order is expected delivered by Saturday 31st, but doesn't mean it won't come on the 30th. But it's hard to say because it was one of these super hot deals that went around the web, so could be a lot of people waiting for it. I dunno, I'll just have to see. We'll have to make plans anyway for more organised get-togethers, so we try to get 12 people with some star rewards etc.

Incredibly nitpicky. Yes, there are some murky textures in places, but the game is fucking mint!

They're doing their job by pointing out all the little details, which is good to know, but would someone honestly notice a single frame difference? They say once it's been seen, it can't be unseen, but really? That's some good eyes if so.

Honestly, I would hate to have an eye for technical details like that. I can't even imagine how many technical shortcomings some of my favourite games might have that are borderline impossible to notice for a regular gamer.

the game continually drops down to 59fps and "once it is seen, it can't really be unseen"

I can't imagine that during an action packed racing game they are actually noticing a 1 frame-per-second drop with their naked eyes.

It's probably more psychological. They found out it happens with their special equipment and now they imagine they see it all the time.

Indeed, that level of Obsessive Compulsive tends to ruin more than enhance the experience & it's one of the main reasons I don't praise or find any true value in focusing on graphics. I feel sorry for those that do since they give themselves headaches for no good reason & miss out on playing truly enjoyable games for no reason at all.

It is not wise to speak on subjects you do not know all facts about, nor is it smart to judge a game based on looks alone. PSN: Nintendo_Gamer 3DS: 4296-3029-7422

who cares! i would buy this game even if every gaming website on the web gave it scores of 3 out of 10 and they used mode 7.
