Another AAE for the Wii (Monster Hunter 3).

Well it hasn't been getting any AAAE's lately, but at least its been racking up the AAE's.

Sorry if this is old, but I didn't see a topic for it on the first 4 pages. Also highest scoring Monster Hunter yet at GS.

wii is aae king

Yeah, we had a sticky which had since died. Scored well. I expect this thread to turn into a lack of AAAE thread wuite soon too.

Perhaps if Capcom's marketing effort payed off, then other third party developers will start taking notes on how to properly create a successful Wii title! :D

On the other hand, if it doesn't work, then everybody jump ship!

I enjoy this game more than 95% of AAAs across all systems.

Nonsense! Monster Hunter is more addictive! :P

Damn, didn't know it was that good.

The hardest part is getting engrossed in the game; but once you are, be ready to sacrifice at least 200 hours of your life. The series can be quite alienating to many, so I recommend you try out the demo first or play a friend's Monster Hunter game (any would do, not necessarily Tri).

I wonder why the gave this 8 and the psp ones 6 is it really that much better ? I loved MHFU.

I hate motion controls, but after sitting back & seeing sequels & remakes of games I love, such as Super Smash Bros Brawl & Resident Evil 4, which don't require the motion controls, Monster Hunter Tri was the last straw. I plan to pick up the Black Wii as soon as possible.

Just think how many it would get if Gamespot actually bothered to review half its good games.

Of the top ten scoring Wii games in the last three months according to Gamerankings.com, Gamespot has reviewed a whopping three games, and I suspect at least one only got reviewed because it was a multi-plat.

For comparison, it has reviewed nine out of ten of the 360's over the same period, and eight out of ten on the PS3 (Tecmo Bowl just came out, I'm sure it will be nine out of ten soon)

At least one, Cave Story, even has AAA potential (Although obviously not exclusive).

Oh, it's one of those games, well, I can understand why he likes it. As for me, I don't know yet.

Maybe we can play together if you decide to give it a shot and if I do well enough on my finals to warrant a video game purchase. :D

Well, if you count the multiplatsonboth the PS3/360 that aren't available on the Wii, I'd say they still crush the Wii's lineup. Then add in the exclusives for either one, and it's worse. Wii has some great games, but they're mostly niche.

(sigh) why would you add multiplat games to an exclusives list that defeats the purpose dont cha think?

i wasnt arguing who got a better library but the wii does have more quality exclusives(A-AAAA) then the other platforms i dont what so hard to grasp from that. if you like you could look at the spreadsheet.

It's not hard to understand at all. Games that are not on the Wii, but are on both the PS3 and 360 have to be counted whencomparing the overall quality of the game lineups for those consoles. Of course those multiplats aren't exclusives by SW standards(which are gospel, of course:roll:), but should quality titles NOT be counted because they're available on 2/3 of the consoles? I'm sure that's a convenient way to calculate for the sheep, but sorry, that's useless.

Almost have enough money! :D

Monster Hunter > all the games on the ps3 AND 360. It offers more gameplay (I already have more playtime than most ps3/360 games would give me), more customization, more choice, more fun. AND it's not another shooter.

I hate motion controls, but after sitting back & seeing sequels & remakes of games I love, such as Super Smash Bros Brawl & Resident Evil 4, which don't require the motion controls, Monster Hunter Tri was the last straw. I plan to pick up the Black Wii as soon as possible.

MH3 is a great game, I actually dusted off the Wii for this one and am loving it so far. Lets stop this nonsense about AAE and AAAE on Wii though, it's ridiculous to brag about the Wii's line up of exclusives when Wii games are exclusive almost by definition. The Wii simply can't run the games found on PC 360 and PS3, of course the Wii has lots of exclusives, if it didn't there would be no games for it at all. It's kind of like bragging about how you have new shoes that no-one else does, but failing to point out they are specially made for people born with a club foot. It's really not that impressive.Elutheria

AA just isn't good enough for me.

Where are all the AAA games, and since when did standards drop so low that we are excited about AA scores all of a sudden?

I'm pretty sure back in the days of the NES, SNES, N64 etc that an AA score would have been mostly overlooked and that most people were really only excited by games scoring AAA.

I mean seriously...We're supposed to get excited about an 8.0!

WTF!

Now, maybe I am an elitist ass but at least I have standards.

The problem with wii exclusives is, one minute, sheep are claiming they are the be all and end all of gaming, then when confronted, they may admit that the wiis overall library is lacking but then it's back to exclusives.

The reason the wii has so many exclusives is because of its weaknesses. It's a niche system with obvious deficiencies, not least power. If it was as powerful as the HD consoles it would share more multiplats and there would be less niche games made for it in response. The likes of Red Steel would be shared by the three systems, and lost in the sea of great games. Put red steel 2 next to an average game like Call of Juarez 2 and it cannot compete. It's only noteable because it's a mini oasis in the sahara that is the wii library. Put it on another console and it is lame. Sad but true.

If the wii had Arkham Asylum and GTA IV you wouldn't even acknowledge games like Red Steel and world of goo.

And don't even tell me the reviews are consistent. Try putting Red Steel 2 on the 360 as it is. There is no way it's getting 7.5.

Well that's the problem, you are putting an A game against a AA game. Here let me try. Put Call of Juarez 2 against Super MarioGalxy, user opinion, reviews sales and general concensus say it cannot compete. Call of Juarez is not even notable period. Also, when was the last time someone flaunted World of Goo let alone red steel? As for consistant reviews, you can't really say any different eiter. We'll never actually know.

Problem is, no one has mentioned Mario Galaxy. That's not one of these niche games I keep hearing about. And yes, people have been bringing up Red Steel 2, and World of Goo, they've both been mentioned in this thread! Your post was worthless. It addressed no points, it brought up Mario Galaxy, again, because thats one of the only games wii fans can honestly put up against the best of this gen, but is totally irrelevant to this conversation, you've compared a top line wii game to an average 360/PS3 game, which is totally contrary to what this thread is about. It just doesn't make any sense.

Put Call of Juarez 2 up against one of these super exclusive niche titles often brought up as "little gems" but wii owners. If you released these games on better consoles they would be lost.

And we can make educated guesses on review scores. If you put red steel 2 on the HD consoles, I can make an educated guess that it would be pretty much laughed off.

World ofGoo and RS2 are usually never brought up in these threads, I would know, I normally post in all these threads (much more than yourself since you know, I do have a much higher post count and all). As for SMG, I love the game but I have many Wii games I find better then "the best of the gen" (whatevver the hell that means).

But the idea that the average Wii game does not stack up to the average PS3 game is quite none sense (though I also think that on a lot of websites Wii games get too inflated scores (gamespot not being one of them). Also CoJ2 is not an average gane, accordingto gamespot its a "Great" game, like Monster Hunter 3. I think the 2 compare well btw.

That doesn't mean anything. These games are also lost on the Wii, that's why they are super niche lol. Thay said, I would be willing to say that besides SF4 and SSF4 Capcoms best game this gen is Z&W which is better than all of their efforts this gen. I think it holds up against anything out there. Just because you think these games are of lower quality does not make it so.

This is a laughable argument so I won't waste my time entertaining it.

dictionary definition of exclusive:

single or sole

noting that in which no others have a share

pick your poison but exclusive is single regardless of how you twist it i really dont know what planet this logic came from but it doesnt even make sense your just tag teaming two consoles vs 1 just to prove your statement valid is weak when its every man for themselves.

im pretty sure you are a reasonable fellow so buy definition exclusive means one if it on two different systems made by different companies how the hell is that exclusive?

TO me thats weak SW is every man for themselves so if the wii has more quality exclusives then other consoles that means it is Exclusive wise Wii>>360,Wii>>PS3 idk whats so hard to get from that you can remember how many mulitplats the wii does not get but thats the thing they are MULTIPLATS they dont hold weight in an EXCLUSIVE arguement.

[QUOTE="Mario1331"]

[QUOTE="Elutheria"] The point of debating exclusives is to differentiate between platforms that share most of their software. It is relevant in a comparitive discussion between 360 and PS3 for example, but not in a comparison between the 360 and the Wii. Totally different hardware, different capabilities, different control system,different target market even. Even bringing up the fact that a game is 'exclusive' to the Wii just reminds you of the massive amount of games that are available on every platform APART from the Wii. The Wii has it's place, it's a good party console and appeals to consumers outside of the traditional gaming demographics, but don't bring up exclusivity as a strength when it is really a massive weakness.Elutheria

in the real world if a game is good a game is good idk what you mean by the real world because in the real world i and many others enjoy an abundance of wii games.

in ok this is SW its completely silly anyways, if someone brings up exclusive they have every right to just like people can say tekken is better then street fighter thats their opinion and how they feel its an open forum if you really cant take that the wii has more quality exclusives then the hd consoles idk what to tell you its not that serious but it is not fake either.

Now, maybe I am an elitist ass but at least I have standards.amaneuvering

Elutheria: Actually, in reality, the Wii's exclusivity is a great argument for getting one especially when we're assuming that you already have at least one other platform. Some locations, you can get a Wii for $100 - under the price of two PS3 games! And that comes with Wii Sports, too. Discussing multiplats against the Wii is only a tactic on forum wars about systems, and if you're so broke you can only afford one system - even then the Wii is arguably the better choice since both the system and the games are significantly cheaper, so you get more gaming per buck that you otherwise could.roxlimn

Um, sure, you could potentially find a $100 used Wii but is such a small chance that it's hardly a good way to argue why the Wi is worth owning.

I mean, I bought my used 60GB PS3 for $250 back in 2007 when it was still $600 in stores. I can't really use that as an argument as to why more people should buy it because they could only find it for $600.

All systems are worth owning today as all are relatively cheap and have enough system exclusives to their own.

I enjoy this game more than 95% of AAAs across all systems.

psn8214

That's because the AA and AAA scale is broken and busted. There are more than a minimal amount of AA rated games that are better than AAA rated games.

The system wars by the letter/number of the review! purist doesn't allow themself the opportunity of finding this out and so they remain in the dark thinking that all I have to do is play what Gamespot tells me are the best games and I will have experienced the best gaming has to offer.
