Endless Oceon (Forever Blue) Wii scores a 10, 8, 9, 8 at Famitsu !!!!..... (56k)

[QUOTE="Ontain"][QUOTE="Jandurin"]

... Why would I want this game again? To 'explore' the ocean?

I like Nintendo's Blue Ocean strategy on paper, not in game form :roll:.

:P

it's not a traditional game with set objectives. some ppl like to relax and i can see this as very relaxing. it's sorta like a flight sim except for diving. you might not be into it be others might. I could see my fiancee really liking this game as a stress reliever.

There are better ways to relieve stress other than spending $50. Like Sex.

Not Famitsu again....

Just say no. We'll see what it actually deserves whensomeone else reviews it....as long as it's not Play magazine. Gawd. :P

[QUOTE="NobuoMusicMaker"]Maybe they will add a WiiBoard functionality where you can be a dolphin and do a flipper dance. :lol:NobuoMusicMaker

Where the boat pulls you and

Water skiing!

But that'd turn it into a game. That's not what Nintendo does anymore. :lol:

Can someone explain to me wtf you do in this game?Lemmywinks_360

As explained by another user, do quest/adventures, you can also just swim around with a friend online.

Interesting... I have some interest in this game, because it seems kind of like some of Nintendo's Animal Crossing games. No point, but really engaging and fun to explore. Graphics are nice for the Wii too, but I wonder how does Wi-Fi work? Is there any voice chatting? Cause could you imagine playing this game with a friend, and having no verbal communication?yoshi_64

Umm it's a diving game... Soo... Hand comunication with the Wiimote?... :P

Seriously... who wouldn't find that awsome?

So... it's like an interactive screen saver. :lol:

I don't understand this game at all.

Correct me if I'm wrong (and I could be,) there's no objective to this game. There's no winning, there's no losing... you just swim around the ocean and look at things. Is this the case? It's not really a game, it's a virtual tour of the ocean.

I don't understand some of these new Nintendo games these days, at all.

Can someone explain to me wtf you do in this game?Lemmywinks_360

my guess? Find and catalog aquatic species... Search for the goal fish... Maybe collect treasure from a shipwreck...

The information on the game seems to indicate that your a tour guide at some point. The game is mostly open ended exploring it seems.

Rofl, I feel bad for ppl that only own a wii and are actually happy about this, just look at at it...Eddie-Vedder

[QUOTE="Caviglia"]Now where did I suggest that? I was encouraging gamers to broaden their mandate, to not dismiss games outright because they do not give instant gratification or cheap thrills. It is rare that we see such games, let alone ones that are accomplished, they should be celebrated for adding something new to the stagnant mix of genres we have at present.Jandurin

What does this game bring to the table that makes it worth 50 dollars? What would make me turn it on over, say, Pokemon, or RE, or Metroid Prime 3?

Why wouldn't this game just sit in a corner gathering dust while I considered that its very existence in my gaming library never made a bit of difference?

I'm asking seriously, because you seem to know something about this game that I don't.

You must be young or not so mature. I grew up on the old school games....... you know. Having fun and trying to get a high score. You are lame.

Getting a high score *is* fun sometimes. Fun is also fun. Ironic that you call me lame and immature on a video game forum, no?

Irony.

I've been playing every type of game *save MMOs* since I was 4.

It's like I'm not allowed to question someone's questioning without getting flamed. I'm sorry if I put it a little too harshly for you. The poster I directed it at seemed to handle it alright.

I'm looking forward to this.

And famitsu doesn't grade easily. This is looking good

Hmm, a thought occurs. I'm deathly afraid of open water. I wonder if this game will make people like me feel unfomfortable.Svarthek

Good news for the game but Famitsu and GS have different rating systems and different tastes. Oh well, it's nice to see some talk about games rather than sales....

Who would have thought the consept of animal crossing would be addictive. You're in a dynamic fantasy town and youget a giant bill that you have to pay off.....

But yet that has millions of fan, a rather nice score from reviewers, and is generally just a great game.

I hope the game can actually recreate that feeling... Hell like in the videos I posted, with the guy diving in dark waters and a huge whale coming out of nowhere... creepy... Worse than fatal frame for sure...

A game that tries to be a piece of art (at least from what I figure) and people bash it for not being video game enough?RahnAetas

I'm close to having a mortgage in real life. I don't need a game where I pay off a mortgage!

Your golden money digging shovel intrigues me.

Famitsu gave Vagrant Story and Nintendogs a perfect score. Nuff said.Carmilla31

See, this would be a better statement if both of those titles weren't AAA on Gamespot.

hmm... wikipedia says the game will be released in Japan in about a week, but not in the US till late october :(

Good talk about games not sales.Metroid_Time

why? because your console is not selling? talk about denial...
