Why doesn't GS deduct points from Wii games for bad graphics?

I'm sure they do when graphics are bad by Wii standards.

Why don't HD console shooters get points deducted for having imprecise controls?

See, I can do it too.

imagine mario galexy was on the 360 in its current state. it would be an XBLA game. shabab12

Different standards for the Wii. Same reason a fairly bad (by 360/PS3 standards) online mode will get praised on Wii.locopatho

Wii (and DS) shooters have superior controls to 360 and PS3 shooters, yes. IR pointer is second best only to KB+Mouse. Dual Analog shooting feels clunky and ancient now.

Yeah... *Leaves*

Because scores don't start at a perfect 10 and are deducted from there.

Then everything but the PC would get deducted for "bad graphics".siLVURcross

I've seen a fair amount of ps3/360 games that have comments in "the bad" section of their reviews about bad graphics, which implies that the graphics are responsible for points being taken off from the game's score. Since no Wii game lives up to the standard set by its direct competitors on the ps3/360, why aren't bad graphics taken into account for those games?

let me answer that with a question.

Why doesn't GS deduct points from PS3/Xbox360 games for bad graphics? Compared to PC games

[QUOTE="Thunderdrone"]

[QUOTE="edo-tensei"] Then why do sheep keep insisting in pitting the wii against the ps3 and 360 if it obviously has different standards? Why do you think hermits keep out of this place(excluding the scenario where a cow declares a ps3 game > than crisis). I see sheep all the time claiming and trying to rub it in other people that the wii has a lot more exclusives; to suggesting that it has better games as well. I own a wii and I just find that silly, not a lot of people in sw mention this point.edo-tensei

well your mistake is that Diffrent standards dont make console X better then console Y.

simply because Console Y might have lower standards for graphics, but not for the overall software.

because the end product is still based on opinion, no matter how diffrent the standards are.

For example Litle Big Planet might have scored lower on the wii because the wii has an higher standard for platforming games, unlike the ps3.

But that dosent mean that people cant like LBP more then Mario Galaxy. They both offer diffrent things, so it would be like comparing the wii to the ps3.

What ever suits your own taste.

[QUOTE="edo-tensei"][QUOTE="Thunderdrone"] I can perfectly compare the offerings of the PC, Wii, PS3, 360, DS and PSP libraries to determine which system is the best (for me), because games are (or should be) qualitatively measured by how much fun i'm having with them, and not by how super amazing that shader on that high-poly HD rock is.

Because its comparitive to what's realistic.

Wii has diffrent standards that does not mean wii games are bad though they just have less power. If SMG2 had better graphics and was put on any of the other consoles it still would have gotten a 10 because it was just that fun to play.

The same reason they don't do the same thing on every other platform but PC. You scale to the platform.

Yep I've always said this. Games get graded differently on the Wii. Not just in the graphics department. Reviewers tend to have different expectations as to what they want coming out of a Wii game. Certain games on the Wii that score 8.0s and 8.5s would more than likely score 7.0s on the 360 or PS3 for various reasons.

no it doesnt if a wii game has bad online it has bad online thats why SSBB didnt get a 10 because it has bad online

The Wii has much lower standards.

In some situations yes...I prefer to say just different standards though. Like certain genres that would fail on PS3 or 360 succeed on the Wii for whatever reason, but yes if SMG2 had been the exact same game released on another console it would not have scored a 10.

[QUOTE="Thunderdrone"][QUOTE="locopatho"] Dual analogue worked fine before Wii controls, and works fine after. Whereas filth graphics are always bad.tomarlyn

No, they're simply bad. They have never been good. It's just that we have all learned to live with them because there was no alternative at the time.

Da will always be the most inferior way to control a shooter.

This.

Also lower standards.

its lower standards because the hardwar is inferior you and some others are making it sound like its lower standards because people dont try when the hardware is not that great to begin with

duh, certain aspects would be scaled but if you think it wouldn't score a 10 you were not reading the review and kevin v's comments and stop making tis statement like its provable, its a complete bs statement.
