[QUOTE="hotdaisy18"]My magic 8-ball says you've never played the beta. Worthless.tidus222

so i have to have played the beta to know there isnt a single player???

LOL they confirmed no single player and no single player = fail

i dotn care how good the online is without a single player its not even a real game.

a real game has a presentation, and format where you play through some type of storyline, and do various things using the games mechanics...

online while fun is just killing time seing who can get the most kills or whatever and has no real order or presentation to it.....

look at the great single players call of duty 2, and resistance fall of man had....

if they were online only the games would be generic trash

once again....World of Warcraft ring any bells?

[QUOTE="Gangans"] I know more about video cards than you do, child. Gangans

YAHAHAHA, this is one of the most hilarious quotes I've ever read on this forum.

It's just so absurd and embarassing on so many different levels.

You do realise you are talking to a 23 year old adult, child? One that does competitive kayaking on a weekly basis and is currently weight training while typing this message one-handed.

Fear my muscles.

I fear the level of pity I reach when I see someone talking trash on an online video game forum...

*sigh*...if only you were secure with your masculinity to the point that you wouldn't feel the need to reply to this message the instant that you see it, all the while being sure to refer to me as a "child" while you are at it.

23 years old?...ya...you beingalive longer than someone else does not make you better than them. Competitive kayaking? Not something to brag about...and the fact that you can't even lift weights without having to read an online video game forum is bothersome as well....please...don't tell us what you were doing with the other hand.

Also, why state that arguing about graphics is pointless while at the same time going out of your way to state that you are knowledgable about graphics cards?

Heading to work now...sadly I won't get to read the reply full of wit and rhetoric that only a 23 year old kayaker is capable of. Be sure to use both hands while typing; work before pleasure.

[QUOTE="Dark_Morphius"] somewhere along the line it seems that it has been decided that having better graphics in a video game just means that the gameplay must be worse. This, to me, just seems to be totally illogical. Never and always statements are usually the first ones you can dismiss and there have been an abundance of those on here lately.ZIMdoom

It is illogical but it isn't OTHER PEOPLE who are the illogical ones. It is you for not being able to understand what they are saying, and instead creating the logical fallacy known as a "straw man."

NObody on planet earth through the histroy of time has EVER SAID that good graphics = bad gameplay. If you think they have then see the above sentence. What people say is that gameplay is the most important aspect of any game and that it is primary to graphics. People say that too many devs focus on pumping out pretty graphics but end up making bad games as a result.

BUt for you to actually think that people say graphics always hurt gameplay is purely dishonest on your part.

let me point out that literally a few posts above you was this.

Since the Wii was invented.... :roll:explicthangnail

he is stating that better graphics automatically equals worse gameplay since the wii was invented. I don't agree with his statement but how can you say that no one has ever said it when it was said in this very topic and in several others before this one. You are making another one of those foolish always or never statements. No matter what random comment, no matter how inane or illogical, no matter how offensive, you can rest assured that someone, somewhere, sometime, has stated it.

I am by no means saying that having prettier pixels makes gameplay better, but having a motion sensing controller that you hold in both hands doesn't automatically make gameplay better either. Stronger hardware may primarily lead to a simple graphical upgrade but it doesn't stop there. Complex A.I. coding, realistic physics models, and seamless loading are very quickly becoming reality on "next-gen" PC's, the PS3, the 360, and even the Mac now it seems.

The Wii is not a bad system and it will continue to have a strong fanbase for years to come, but to blindly denounce all competition simply because they went with an "evolutionary" step instead of a "revolutionary" step is just foolish.

[QUOTE="RazMaTaz-1"]

Wii has a controller and hardware limits, so its gonna die down sooner or later.

-CheeseEater-

I think the difference there is that the wii will die down sooner while the PS3 dies down later.

1. Is Wii a fad? Mainstream, yes, to gamers, no.
2. Will PS3 ever have AAA games? It has oblivion and will get others soon enough.
3. Is Mario Mexican or Italian?  Italian
4. How do you feel about Xbox 360 hardware failures?  It sucks...just like any hardware failure.  I am happy that they are repairing them but it'd make them look much better if they...you know...just stopped making so many broken systems.
5. You think Microsoft is looking out for the gamers? on a 2nd tier, yes, but their main concern is the bottem line, just like most other companies.
6. Has Sony turned a new leaf? I never thought sony had "unturned" anything...I think they recieve a lot of unfair bias against them and I hope that soon people can just step back and appreciate what all of the companies are doing for the business instead of picking favorites.
7. Will Bobby and Whitney get back together?
8. Do you love your console like a fat kid loves cake? I have many cakes...
9. Eva Mendes says she plays Motorstorm online, will you buy it now?  Eva Mendes bought motorstorm to play online with me.
10. Who will win this gen? I think Sony will end up with the lead but it will be a much closer race, I think all three companies will end up with 30-something% this time around.
11. If you were a spy for your preferred console, who would you spy on? I guess if I had to pick a fav system it'd be PS3...and if I had to pick it's enemy it'd be 360.
12. Would you buy a console just for one game? Very specific games...yes.  I would buy a console for a FFVII remake (if it was done right) for example.
13. What is your purpose on System Wars?  To get some laughs at the fanboy's expense and occassionally partake in an actually interesting debate.
14. Are you upset I'm asking you all these question?  If I was I wouldn't answer them...?
15. If so, do you think I care?  of course, that's why you asked.
16. Gin and Juice or Crown and Coke? Just an RC cola or a beer for me.
17. Is Halo overrated? Yes
18. You thinks mods get a kick out of banning someone? Yes
19. Cavs or Spurs? I don't care.
20. If your console do win the war, will you be a sore winner? Yes.
21. If your console losses, will you go out with a bang? a gunshot to the head?  nah...there's always next-next-gen.
