1. Is Wii a fad?shungokustasu

Maybe, maybe not. Only time will tell. Who cares either way.

2. Will PS3 ever have AAA games?shungokustasu

Oblivion doesn't count? 

3. Is Mario Mexican or Italian?shungokustasu

Italian.

4. How do you feel about Xbox 360 hardware failures?shungokustasu

Will only care if it happens to mine, which hopefully isn't any time soon. 

5. You think Microsoft is looking out for the gamers?shungokustasu

What the Hell does this mean? Microsoft is looking to do the exact same things Nintendo and Sony are looking to do - net a profit. That's it. 

6. Has Sony turned a new leaf?shungokustasu

They're on the same side of the same leaf they've always been on - it's just that this time they've priced their new console too high and aren't selling so well. Sony has enough money to be in this thing for the long run, plenty of enough time to get their new console to catch on. 

7. Will Bobby and Whitney get back together?shungokustasu

What?

8. Do you love your console like a fat kid loves cake?shungokustasu

I just realized how completely stupid this thing is. I'm wasting my time. Time to go do something.

This is one of the worst forums on the whole of the internet, terrible forum.

GRAW ia exclusive to the 360.

There's only one platform that game is on, the 360.

The PC version is completely different, a completely different gmae (Hell, GRAW on PC is a FPS, on the 360 it's TPS.)

is it because it's not true, or is it because they thought lashing out at MS publicly would only further damage the publisher/developer relations with MS?

We all knew the story is true about Epic was unhappy regarding charging for downloadable content.

And we also knew (from Major Nelson burns Epic in the free downloadable content debate) that MS was also unhappy about Epic regarding the same incident.

So, if the issue was big enough for both companies to keep themselves from lashing out at each other publicly, should we then believe a PR debunk stunt from Epic that tells us otherwise?

P.S. please no fanboysim, just asking for your thoughts (i.e. look at the story from the perspective of an intelligent unbiased observer and figure out what it means).

Listen, when mark Rein comes out immediately and flat out calls the story bullsh**, there really isn't any doubt whether or not it's a lie.

Gameplay -9
Graphics    -9 ( If forza can get a 9, then almost any AAA game can)
Sound      -9
Value       -10
Tilt           -9
=9.2

I really don't think the graphics are as amazing as you say. Games like Bioshock,Metal Gear Solid 4, Crysis have impressed me much than Mass Effect. SAying it destroys anything on PC is ridiculous, but no doubt the pc port will evnetually come out and look better :|.

The PC won't get a "port" of Bioshock - I believe it is being developed for the PC and the 360 simultaneously and they will have the same release date.

[QUOTE="ultima-flare"]Not really a fair comparison. Almost every Wii game will be exclusive, because it is to weak to receive ps3/360 ports. And a lot of the current exclusive Wii games are just last gen ports with added motion sensing.shadowcat2576

Not true. The 19 exclusive Wii games are not available on ANY system, not just next-gen consoles. It also does not include games that are remakes with Wii controls like Prince of Persia or Godfather.

Yep, and they suck.

we're going by GS scores here

people asked for "Great" games, i listed the wii having 5x as many "GREAT" games exclusively on the wii than the ps3

plus more higher scoring MULTIPLATS some reason... madden is a mini game? sonic? rayman is but it still scored higher than the 360 cam ver or the ps2 ver

elebits is an original ip and not a minigame... lot of replay value

and wii sports actually has a great training mode, fitness mode, and can appeal to everyone

i dunno why you listed gs scores.. i know what games got AA.. and you disrespect challenging games like trauma center by grouping them with that category

in fact, warioware is it's own category too.. MICRO games... even more challenge by throwing tons of quick minigames at you

and ssx... yeah thats a minigame, right... and for a nintendo system, a really challenging game..

even with SPM alone, it outscores ps3's only AAE... so why knock the wii when you should see how bad the king of competition is doing

personally i bought excitetruck for a while, my gf loved it, plus dbz(friggen hard) and super monkey ball (needed the mercury meltdown control sceme... this is a great underrated series, or was)

and strangely enough, monkeyball had a fps minigame that controlled better than red steel... also the asteroids minigame was pretty cool

If you think I'm trying to argue that the PS3 is the bastion of great games right now you're wrong, what I was saying has nothing to do with the PS3.

 Apart from Paper mario and TP (which I liked better on my GC due to the camera control) there isn't a damn thing on the Wii that greatly appeals to my tastes, and obviously many people agree. There are too many silly minigames, too many poor last generation re-hashes.

Now, I know this will change with things like Galaxy, Prime 3, etc but right now the Wii is just a paperweight for me - it just doesn't have the worthwhile games, sorry. I'm not a fanboy so I'm not saying this due to some backwards, silly allegiance to my "company of choice," I'm saying it because in my case it's true, obviously many are in my same camp. Stuff like Monkeyball and WarioWare do absolutely nothing for me.

I hear people on here repeatedly saying "Wii has no games." and "Wii has no 3rd part support." Bullfeathers!

According to Gamespot reviews between PS3 and Wii (since they launched at the same time):

Wii Exclusives= 19 This does not count Zelda or any games that just added Wii controls like Godfather. Nor does it include VC games

PS3 Exclusive= 7 This does not include downloadable, but does include the timed exclusive Tekken 6.

360 Exclusives=Didn't figure, but I'm sure it's more than Wii because of the time issue right now.

Total available games for all 3 consoles: PS3=48 Wii=147 360=188

Of those 19 Wii exclusives, less the 1/3 (6) are first party games.

You may not like a lot of the games available for the Wii, but you can not say that it doesn't have games.

voxware00

It's not the lack of games, it's the lack of GREAT games.

it has more exclusive GREAT games than the ps3 though... (4 vs 1)

and exclusively 4 GOOD games vs 2 GOOD games...

plus 1 exclusive SUPERB vs 0

so whats the prob

thats 9 vs 3... 

  WarioWare: Smooth Moves Party Game  9.1

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time  8.9

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess   8.8

Super Paper Mario 8.8

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past    8.5

Super Mario World   8.5

Madden NFL 07    8.4

Super Mario Bros.   8.3

Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz    8.3

Gunstar Heroes   8.1

Rayman Raving Rabbids   8.0

Trauma Center: Second Opinion 8.0

I have no interest in silly little minigames, the only 2 really fantastic games on the Wii (TP, Paper Mario... I know neither of those scored 9.0+ here, but those are 9.0+ games according to my tastes) are GC castaways.

The rest are silly minigames or insanely overpriced ROMS, this is what people complain about, The Wii just doesn't have the games right now, sorry.

[QUOTE="Bill_McBlumpkin"]

From what I've seen it's real time shooter time fighting, so it's different than KotOR in that way. THat's the impression I got, at least.

Goldensun48

do u actually shoot the gun like in gears?, i liked kotor but it got to me that i couldnt shoot the enemy down, i had to DIRECT my characters to kill the monster/person/thing

Second half of this video will give you some idea, the combat system is extremely flexible.
