[QUOTE="death919"][QUOTE="MerisYaki"]He should think their great because they got high scores?

So you'd admit that Halo 3 is an awesome game just because it got 9.5 on this site?

Halo 3 is an absolutely incredible game in my opinion, and is definitely a deserving 9.5.



Good to know, but isn't it kind of wrong that the sheep is pressuring that dude into saying saying SSBB and SMG are great just because they got 9.5?


Lamesville.

Hmm ok I see where you're coming from. And yes I agree that it's stupid to just say a game is good because it got a high score. If you don't like it then you don't like it. But on the other hand, saying that the Wii is a terrible system is also not true when it's got alot of games which have got high scores and that alot of people like. It's one thing to say "the wii's just not for me", and it's another thing to say "the wii is a garbage system, nintendo screwed up, casual crap" etc... when there are alot of games which have received high scores and which are liked by alot of people.

Scores aren't just randomly assigned from a random number generator. Games are analyzed and a score is determined based on quality.



You say that, but you don't care about reviews either.
See: Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn, which got a low score on gamespot.

The guy who reviewed thought it being hard was a bad thing, which is pathetic. And It's not even that hard anyway because it has in-battle saves... Yes I'm missing out on so much by not caring aobut reviews.

The irony of the Wii being seen as a "cheap alternative" is that I picked up my (non-BC) PS3 on ebay for less than the cost of any Wii I saw there... [etc.]

All i see here is a focus on how much the Wii is, how powerful the Wii is etc. One absolutely HUGE thing you're not talking about are the GAMES. In my opinion, this is the decider in something's worth. From the games i've played so far and seeing the games coming out sooner or later that are not available on other platforms - I'm glad i bought a Wii.

Well, that's why I said I would find the Wii an easier pill to swallow once it had more AAA games than the 360. At the moment, though, games are actually one of people's biggest complaints against the Wii - leaving me scratching my head wondering what you get as a result of paying for over-priced hardware. The answer is Super Mario Galaxy and Super Smash Brothers Brawl, and three last-generation ports (Resident Evil 4, Twilight and Okami). Gamespot also gave Warioware and No More Heroes high marks, but gamerankings has them as AA. Either way, it's pretty clear that the PC/360/PS3 has a larger library of AA/AAA games than the Wii... much, much larger. Whereas the Wii lists 18 games that are AA or higher on gamerankings, the PS3 lists 45 and the 360 has 91. The PS3 counteracts the somewhat lower number of games by providing a greater hardware benefit to HD multimedia consumers. But the Wii... the Wii charges you an exorbitant price to play 18 good games on near-last generation hardware, four of which *are* last-generation games.And unfortunately, that list isn't going to have any radical improvements any time soon...

The best games for the Wii are the ones that aren't hyped because they are totally new and diffrent... I can see why people might not like that, because it would require you to actually read about games that might at first glance seem unintresting.

For example the line up for this fall is great, (compared to last years) yet it's being hailed as lack luster... perhaps because it's all Third Party, and all new franchises?

I can understand selling the Wii, but why the DS... It's the best gameing device right now.

Stop with that nonsense.

Us gamers are NEVER to blame if game don't sell because we don't now about it. It is the developers responsibility that a game is well known with the gamers. I should not have to look at Japanese gaming sites to know anything about Fragile or Arc Rise Fantasia. If they expect me to buy their games they have to bring those games to me.


It has nothing to do with me being lazy, it is actually the developer that is lazy.

And NO the Wii line up is not great. De blob, Mushroom men and Wario Land: Shake it is not what I call a great line up.

Why hate on wario land: shake? As a whole the wario land franchise has gotten some fantastic scores from gs and have at least imo been deserving of them. Who's to say there isn't a chance of that happening again? Well with the original development team anyway.


Were did I say that I hated Wario Land? I will buy that game for my Wii when it comes out. The problem is that it is only one game. If Wario Land: shake it ends up being the only good game worth owning on the Wii this fall I can't really call a great line up.

Ah man you misuderstand I said hate on, by which I ment putting it down which by the way you were talking about the wii's line up sounded like you were doing. It just sounded like you were throwing it in with the rest of it if you know what I mean, but I agree with you about the wii's line up its looking pretty weak now all the main recycled "hardcore" nintendo franchises have had their installment for this gen. Also I actually agreed with most of your original post I just wanted to query you on that :P because seriously I couldn't agree more on the point of game developers responsibility to advertise and it not being are responsibility to hunt down there games. The normal rules of promotion still apply in this industry.
