Little King's Story Wii - 8.5

[QUOTE="BioShockOwnz"]

Damn, Wii is getting the best games so far this year. jakehouston88

[QUOTE="PoppaGamer"] This is common knowledge here in SW. IronBass

Wow.. i cant believe people are still saying that. I thought everyone stopped saying it the day SMG recieved GOTY. It pretty much destroys that argument.

Guess hes new blood.

Theres also the fact that alot of the best Wii games have absoloutely no counter parts to be compared to on the other consoles, LKS, Boom Blox, Zack and Wiki, Punch Out!! for example. So i cant see how the standards can be lower when the Wii IS the standard.

Did it have official hype?

So did it flop?

:lol: Like those are small parts of the grade. Look at IGN, for example. Graphics and sound EACH have their own grade which affects the final score. If Wii scores = PS3/360 scores than DS, PSP, PC are all equal as well, right? :lol: To error_202. I'm new blood? You got 122 posts and I am new blood? I smell a ban-dodger. Also, Smg is not the norm. And I could go on about the NES fanboy inside a lot of us older gamers that aided that score. But it was a great game and earned the accolades. That doesn't mean every other Wii title can stand so strong. Especially when we get deeper into the gen. But let me repeat my main point here because I know some here will miss it. If Wii is rated on the same grading scale as 360/PS3, then ALL system's scores must be graded on the same scale, no? So a DS game rated 9 is just as good as a PC/PS3/360 game of the same score? Tell me that with a straight face.PoppaGamer

Games are scored based on what that specific console/handheld is capable of and what titles have already done some of the things on that console.

It would be rather stupid for us to say that they are all on the same scale - let alone say that the Wii has a different scale than the PS3/360.

They all have different scales, they're reviewed based on what that console SPECIFICALLY is capable of and what we've seen previously done on that console.

Your new blood in my books my boy. And no im not a ban dodger.

Anyway i was thinking about it and i have to partially agree with you. The example i thought about was The Conduit. I could see that getting AA on the Wii but getting below that on the 360/PS3. So what that means is some genres have lower standards and some dont.

I dont see how you can say it would LKS would score lower on the Wii when there is absoloutely NOTHING like it on the PS3/360. Theres nothing we could compare it to, to say it would score lower on the HD twins and that goes for alot of Wii exclusives.

So overall i retract what i said before as some genres do have higher standards on the HD twins, but some dont.

and Handhelds =/= Consoles, Downloadable =/= console games.

... but that means that MGS = epic fail. Oh, well :)

Hm?? MGS was alrite in the story department. Nothing too great nothing terrible.

[QUOTE="WasntAvailable"]

[QUOTE="PoppaGamer"] This is so false. This would be the case if a Wii game score of 8 was equal to a 360/PS3 game score of 8. But they aren't equal. And you know that.PoppaGamer

You've got to be kidding....

On what terms, graphics?

As far as I'm concerned LKS is the best game I've played this year. Compared to games like Killzone 2 it's far more deserving of a 9.

So in other words, graphics? As I thought. That holds no weight with this game at all. The graphics are great, regardless of system, and from a technical side it performs well. It wouldn't matter what system the game was on, it would score the same. You want to argue that it wouldn't? Play the game first.

[QUOTE="WasntAvailable"]

[QUOTE="PoppaGamer"] Are denying the fact that WIi titles are graded on a different scale than 360/PS3? :lol: Look at a 360/PS3 review and see how they get knocked for framerate, screen tearing, jaggies, etc. Things that occur by pushing the more powerful hardware. If the Wii doesn't have to do that puching, how can the grading be equal? This is common knowledge here in SW. Catch up.PoppaGamer

If that's what you want to believe, then go ahead, but I can tell you now that LKS didn't get it's score because it had good graphics for the system. There REALLY isn't much you can do to the graphics to make them look any better than they are. It's in that style for a reason. If you seriously think that the game would lose points because of graphics then you havn't played enough good games. At the most it might lose a point under a graphics catogory, but the score would remain the same regardless seeing as GS does not use catagories.

[QUOTE="mdisen2"][QUOTE="mexicangordo"] That is absolutely not true, MGS has one of the most developed stories that is well written and told. I dont understand how its not great....

[QUOTE="WasntAvailable"]

[QUOTE="PoppaGamer"] Dude, if you straigh ported the game to PS3 or 360 it would get raped on graphics scoring. Are you saying it wouldn't? Again, the point is, THEY AREN'T GRADED ON THE SAME SCALE. You can narrow that to graphics and then pretend its a minor aspect, if you wish. Doesn't change the facts.PoppaGamer

Yet you havn't played the game. Stunning.

"It's a Wii game, there for it's graphics are bad." That's original.

Great score, the Wii has been owning this year so far, both in scores and sales.

It's Gamespot, man. They hate the Wii, and fired any employee who objected.

Espada12

Yea that's one of the reasons I couldn't finish fallout.. story was so bad, I just got bored.

[QUOTE="Espada12"]

[QUOTE="bobbetybob"] It's an RTS/RPG I imagined the story to be something similar to Pokemon, where it's simple and light, not something intense. Fallout 3 had a terrible story, they didn't mark that down, and that seems like the sort of game you mark down for bad story not this, seems like they were just looking for reasons not to give it an AAA, I mean come on, repetitive sound effects? Same as every game where you do the same things quite a lot...Regent192

Yea that's one of the reasons I couldn't finish fallout.. story was so bad, I just got bored.

In RPGS all are equal IMO. Even though I can play older RPGS no problem, newer ones better have great atmosphere and a great story. Getting sucked into a RPG requires all these things for me, if one is 1/2 assed it takes so much from the game for me.

Well I didn't find it too spectacular and I'm a fan of MGS games.. and I sat down and watched every cut scene to boot.

Sonick54

Well, I was referring to Epaul's posts. He is somewhat showing that this game 'flopped' because it was not an AAA. And yes, I know it can still be a good game.
