The problem for Wii fans at gamespot

You can't get honest info.

I guess I'm accusing this community and the proprietors of this siteof bias against the Wii. If you're coming here looking for information about Wii games, my advice is to go elsewhere. All the criticisms are exaggerated to the point that you can't find what you need. I think the recent "The Conduit" review got under my skin a little - it just gets old.

This site, and most others don't favor the Wii in general. Frankly, I don't really care if most of the patrons of this site love the other consoles, but it makes it difficult to get good information on the Wii games. TheWii is a completely different product, and can't really be compaired to the 360 or PS3 or vice versa.

Still, this is my favorite gaming site. I just like the way it's put together.

OMG, does it mean GS has branwashed me to hate the Wii?? That explains how can anyonedare to hate such a magnificent console, uh??

Cows rule SW.. :twisted:

Go to IGN, they loooooove Wii games over there.

Well that one guy at least.

Ive come to accept the fact that GS is a no no for Wii info, many places are.

Well, if you hate a console (or fail to see the value in one), you've definitely been brain-washed to a degree.

GS didn't even review many of the Wii's better titles, right? Or am I mistaken?freakbabyblues

Gloves off..

Every console other than the Wii is a retread of old technology. Worse yet, they're drastically overpriced pieces of crap that offer nothing new or different from the last generation. That is why both Sony and MS are scrambling to come up with their own versions of the Wii-mote. They know they gambled and lost.

Nope, I don't hate the Wii, I just don't care about it... and no, it's no brainwash, it's a matter of personal tastes.

lol who's hating now?? :lol:

BTW, the reason on why Sony and MS are paying attention to the motion sensing stuff is because they realize the huge pile of cash Nintendo is getting from all those games even if they are shovelware... because it's the Wii!! who cares if it's mostly shovelware when it's revolutionary, right?? :roll:

You can get a 360 for less money than a Wii.

The problem with the Conduit is that HVS delivered on its promise of having multiplayer, technical graphics, and great controls, but it lacks an identity of its own. The Conduit have a solid foundation to build on, it just need an identity.hiphops_savior

Identity huh, how about "FPS of the Year"!

Why should we care about the Wii? It's not even a real console. Wii games are not even real games. Wii gamers are not even real gamers. Only Xbox 360 and PS3 are real consoles with real gamers playing real games. nchan

This is BS. Every generation has improved upon gaming through increased capabilities of more advanced systems. Nintendo Wii used old technology, and applied motion technology to it. But it didn't make anything "new" or "different" either, it just copy pasted motion tech onto previously upheld gaming conventions, with a few exceptions like trauma center. It's even more apparent when two of the most acclaimed wii games are last gen ports with copy pasted motion tech, or look at the Wii's flagship Zelda title - which is a Zelda game with relatively useless motion tech applied to it.

No, gaming is definitely moving forward with Son and Microsoft; don't delude yourself into thinking otherwise.

Are you joking?

The Conduit = 6.5

:lol:

well the only reason ive neve really been a Wii fan was due to the games most of what was out when it launced was all kid games, now dont get me wrong not all the games were for kids but still im 18 i would like something more for my age group or atleast something that requires much thinking like a RTS :D

Go to IGN, they loooooove Wii games over there.

Well that one guy at least.

Yeah. Matt is a really credible source.;)

you mean systemwars isn't a good place for non-biased game info?

:o

The Conduit has gotten consistently bad reviews from many sites - I don't think that points to a Gamespot bias.

If Wii fans are such hardcore gamers then they would own a PS3/360.LiquidShnake

too many AA and AAA games, sorry, they are too boring.

A games are innovative.

Maybe GS just thinks the games suck, jeez fanboys are so annoying especially Nintendo ones. Its not MS or Sony's fault that the Wii cant hold up with Disk space or graphics or 3rd party support or online- its Nintendos and obviously they dont need any of that to make a buck- if your happy you have a wii then join club nintendo, read nintendo power, and find a nintendo forum were all the sheep go to talk about how great the wii is so that they can all feel better about the money they spent and can be free to talk about the next mario game without getting bashed since its so hard to deal with big mean reviewers... "WAAAHHH" sheep whine too much...

GS is harsh on games from all systems, I don't think they're biased. In fact, didn't they give Mario Galaxy GOTY over Bioshock, Crysis, Halo 3, and CoD4? NMH, Zack & Wiki, Tiger Woods '10, and Ghostbusters were all acknowledge for their Wii specific benefits, when the same games without the Wiimote would/did score lower.

I'm very happy that GS is back to being overly critical towards games like the old days.

I only use Gamespot because of its organized forums, I use IGn for previews, reviews, and other info.

This. I only go to Gamespot for forums, but I go to IGN for reviews and that stuff. I don't like how they organize they're forums at IGN, though.

Yea Gamespot's given too many wii games poor reviews they're clearly out to get the platform.

Who cares if they gave Mario Galaxy GOTY in 2007 they aren't allowed to flop the conduit! IGN is clearly correct for giving the game a higher score!

1- Wii came with Wii Sports. It provided motion based gameplay out-of-the-box on a mainstream console. It was NEW

2- What are these two most acclaimed last gen ports with motion pasted on?

3- Zelda TP is a Gamecube game adapted to the Wii. Everyone knows this (not you apparently) and nintendo never tried to hide it.

Try harder next time

No its not, its completely stagnating and colapsing on itself because of them, dont delude yourself.

And if you want me to really nail the coffin on this one, look at Natal and Sony's Wand.
