2% higher on metacritic because the game was overrated and given 100% on some publications, as well as a number of nintendo affiliated review sites and magazines being factored into the score.

What about the PS3 based review sites and magazines that factored into the Infamous review?

By what 1% There also 2 completely different types of games directed at 2 different types of audience's.

Wow 1 game review site gave Punch Out 1% higher than Infamous. Lets forget the fact Punch-Out is designed for 10+ and old guys that remember it from the 80's, Lets forget the fact they're scored completely different and Punch-Out isn't meant to last very long, You can't mess up a simple game like Punch-Out very bad unless you really rush it. Punch-Out is meant to be fun for a weekend it's not a game you can or supposed to lose yourself in Infamous on the other hand.....

Really the fact that people are even trying to bring down Infamous by comparing it to 1 reveiw site that gave Punch-Out high is laughable. Cows it seems will grab onto anything these days.

You tried to make it sound like I was saying something completely ludrcrious and off the cuff when saying I'd take Punchout over Infamous yet the majoiry of critics agree with me. Also, who are you to tell me what games I should prefer?

No one is trying to tell you what games to prefer, but Infamous is a more substantial game than Punch-Out.

The problem is that nintendo games tend to be overrated.

ROFL ok there buddy. If this isn't a fanboy bias at it's best than I don't know what is.

"Hey remember that recycled game from the 80s thats designed to last a couple weeks before you get bored of it it's way better than that 9+ game everyone's talking about"

It's ranked higher than Infamous at Gamerankings.

[QUOTE="ActicEdge"]

The wii gets 3rd party exclusives due to the way its set up, that's really the only reason. It can't get most multiplats because of tech which is where the exclusives come in. Also, I hardly call 3 good wii multiplats a changing situation but hey that's just me.

ActicEdge

If the Wii didn't have the biggest userbase it wouldn't be getting any third partyexclusives right now. Also those three multiplats all happend within the last few weeks.

You're right, the user base is important but the tech is the biggest factor in the exclusives honestly. The lower tech seperates it from the other consoles which means its exclusive or weaker ports. Most devs would rather just do an exclusive. The 3 multiplat wii titles were recent (well Pro Evo really wasn't) but I still don't call 3 out of a handful enough to be gaining momentum but I'll concede, its getting better.

I don't think there's any way the multipat situation on the Wii will ever be up to the PC/360/PS3 simply for the fact that it's competing against three platforms, but the situation is improving, and the 3rd party exclusives it's getting are also dramatically improving in qualtiy.

I thought you were agreeing that it should be GOTY. I guess I was wrong.

hakanakumono

I guess you were. I said nothing about GOTY in my post.

Why do minigame collections for Wii get such high scores when minigame collections for other systems get trashed? Waggle controls? :roll:DeadMagazines
Probably has something to do with Nintendo being the number one publisher of all time, both critically and in retail.

[QUOTE="-Oath"]

.... His PERSONAL GOTY.....

-Oath

I'm referring to redfordo who is implying that Punchout deserved higher than an 8.5 and possibly GOTY. It has nothing to do with personal favorites, but rather a comparision with all of the titles released this year.

Ahh, thought you were reffering to SMRs post.

He must be confused again, because SMR made the comment about GOTY not me.
