T3kNi9e said:Yup, except you really need to keep upgrading your PC, which is very costly and is why I quit playing PC games. But you're still right, which is why there's a big plus to buying the Wii. Thats why I have both Wii and 360, Wii statisfies my Nintendo needs that ive always loved while 360 satisfies me when it comes to the more current games, more mature games, challenging games and the competitiveness of online that Wii doesnt have.
I know Wii has online, but its not good. Wii players may think its good if they havent experienced Xbox Live or maybe even PSN (Playstation Network). Its nice to see Nintendo bringing in Online this time and it brings more competition to it, but it has a LONG way to go to catch up to even PSN, let alone Xbox Live.
T3kNi9e said:ally_uk: Oh, I dont doubt it. C'mon its Nintendo, they can do anything they want in gaming, its just they take a while to. I guess they like to test the waters instead of full commit right away.
jimbo: cant really just go to friends house and play expecting to feel any different.
Yes its true, PC's do get cheaper, but so do consoles. Even though gamecube is really cheap right now, you cant play Wii games. Same with computer in some sense. Even though the computer got cheaper, you cant play current games with it. I bought a $500 computer recently, now back in the days, it would have been a top notch super computer, but not anymore, I can only play some older games on it.
CantGetaWii: Same as other guy. I cant really try to reason with you guys since most of you really like the Wii really bad. If I were to talk down the Wii you guys would see differently in every aspect because you will refuse to accept anything bad about it. All I can say, is go to a neutral website, maybe a few reviewer website and ask in General Discussion or something, how much better Xbox Live is to Wii's Online. You will get the answer. Since I have both, I know what im talking about.
Let me put it in somewhat of an anology. Its like comparing a MMO like WoW that you pay for, vs a MMO thats free. Since WoW gets money every month, they are able to upgrade, have better servers and add things.
and of course you would love Nintendo's direction, your a big Nintendo fan, how would you not? But since im not a Diehard Nintendo fan im not entirely happy. I still like Nintendo and still play my Wii, but im not stuck on one console and I can honestly say Xbox is better. I usually buy a Wii game, play it and thats it until I get another.
T3kNi9e said:Kane and Lynch does suck. Its just an "Entertaining" game. But other than that its just another average game. 6/10 suits it compared to the average xbox game. Fire Emblem I also think is trash. I would never waste my time playing that game. I could care less what you think but thats a nerd game, if you love it your a nerd, I dont care what you say. If you dont wanna follow gamespot then atleast follow 1up.com they're one of the most influential reviewers around, they alteast gave your Fire Emblem a decent rating. They gave Mario a real good rating, but mentioned that near the end it starts to get repetitive in level layout, which I agree. But still, IGN?! They're seriously the worst.
CantGetAWii said:Considering I have played all of the various versions of online I don't see how I can show favoritism to the Wii. All I said was that Xbox live really isn't leaps and bounds over Wii's online or the Ps3's for that matter. Its better, but its not really really better.
yungblood6 said:DUDE are you serious, i can not respect any thing else you said because of this comment. I love all three of my systems but any body with a brain can see that live is a better online experience then the other two by leaps and bounds.
Communicate with other gamers while playing different games, or while playing the same game.
Video chat with people from around the world
Demos, preview vids, Betas, arcade, online rentals of movies, tv shows and independent exclusives, along with ability to purchase.
Better servers, more people, most games support online
Expand your game experience with content downloads that give you extra maps, weapons, cars, even expansion packs
To say that its not that much better than the wii's and ps3's online was a little retarded even for you. Even the most die hard nintendo fan cant argue with that.(words spell checked)
So basicaly what you are trying to say is that all 360 has is Fps? If thats what you are saying i realy think you need to take a bigger look and not follow the croud just because halo, and gears where best sellers doesn't mean thats all thats on 360 thats just like saying all nintendo is, is kid games and girly rpgs but thats not true. Thats the exact same thing people where saying about pc gamers but as we know thats not true either.WiitnessID said:Isn't that just his preference? I always mute VOIP chat in my PC games and I never pad of add on stuff for games unless it is a sequel or a real episode. The only thing I would want is more betas and a HD! Also too it's free so you get what you pay for I guess.
Also too there is no way and hell the Wii is going to repeat the GC. They are nothing alike. As soon as the current wave of software reaches bargain bin prices you will see another surge. Yet the Casual gaming idea is pushing system almost as good as SONY buy a dvd player plan, if not better since people are buying this solely to game be it casual or not.
Also too as illustrated here in the thread there is a big divide in the current hardcore gamer. that is not good for the current hardcore only systems. Releasing one type of game actually causes the other not to like the system. thats a real power struggle. the more tolerant the over all gamers are the better off the system will do as a whole it seems. There is the I'm a cooler gamer than you causing a lot of static online right now. These are the guys that have to have a HD system or a PC. I have a PC but I'm over my self and most of the gimmicks you guys like. Graphics are great but some stuff is getting boring. Yet that effect may take like 3 years or so!
It almost like there is a realism gamer now and a fantasy gamer in the console world now. Before there where more fantasy gamers. You even got some guys that are trying to put down guys who like fantasy or turn based games. To those guys I hate to break it to you but you are playing a game. It's actually a child's game too. How many squad based FPS will you buy? I have like 7 already and I'm burnt out! I don't want anime art but I do want a lot more creativity! The absolute extreme of these guys are CS players. If you even call you self cloud they will puke on their mouse it seems! These guys have an xbox mostly since FF is going to be a big game on the PS3.
This same divide is what pretty much turned PC gaming into to all FPS or WOW games. The thing that keep me gaming was the open-ness of console gaming. I've played in ranked matches for money and I still do yet I still remember and love all the games I played before I got there. Just remember These are still games you are playing and there is not that much manly about them. You can dislike some thing all you want but gaming is much bigger than one preference. I'm a little tired of the online ranks with in the FPS scene. i go there to get a quick fix and keep my skills up but if any thing i feel as if nintendo has made the better choice by getting these type of gamers off the system. It's not the violence that is a problem, it's the discus of getting owned by some one during a match and that vengeful state of pay back.
If you look at the system sales of by way of a fan boys eyes you get the same feeling! You ask your self how is my team getting beat! WTF is going on!
It's like saying some one got a lucky shot in a online game yet he keeps hitting you but you have the advantage some how yet it does not matter. You think he's got to be cheating! AIMbot! The Wii is like that right now. It can't last as every one you know doesn't like it. Thanks to how nintendo has design this system you will have no reason to not like it as soon as 20 million Wiis are shipped because it will not matter what it did in the past as developers Will make games for it now. Tactics far out way perception! This is what SONY had in it's favor for the PS brand up until now. The only gamer nintendo is going to really miss is the hardcore realism guys. I'm sure most gamers will not miss them either, unless you need some one to shoot at.
So on that that note let me play some Enemy territory!

What are you talking about i don't care that nintendo is on top its about time they steped it up and stop letting rookies in the buisness bully them around.
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD HARD CORE DOES NOT MEAN YOU WANT A SERIOUS GAME OR A SHOOTER, OR A GAME WITH BLOOD, IT MEANS YOU WANT A GAME THAT WAS WELL THOUGHT, PLANED OUT, AND HAS INNOVATION TO IT, NOT QUICK CASH IN BULL **** THAT TAKES NO EFFORT TO MAKE. Since when have you seen a company put out 12 games in a year? That is unheard of and pure crap. games that take a month to make arent good good games.
Like i have said too many times before games like my katamari, little big planet, Phsyconauts, fable, Phantasy star, final fantasy, Ninja gaiden, I could keep going, these are games that arent shooters and most don't have blood that are loved by hardcore gamers because they have thought put into them, good developement, great gameplay, new type of gameplay , and nice graphics even the ones that are on an older system. Show me a game other then those made by nintendo themselves that can compare to that. Thats what the wii is missing the whole thing it was trying to do in the first place be innovating.
also stop thinking that nintendo is the only one catering to the whole casual crowd because the gaming industry as a whole is catering to this bullshit. Its just that the other consoles have a better balance of it then nintendo does.
you said it right there at the end they are doing too much of it. im sorry but it is too much. and all its doing is promoting simplicity, and laxy developement. then the next few years you are going to look up and all the games we play on any system are going to be dumbed down simple games, that have no thought put into it, and no innovation. Im sorry but casual gamers are a nice addition to the industry but at the same time they are a virus, because they think casual gamers cant learn how to play a game unless its simple and thoughtless. im sorry but when i was a kid i lost at mario alot it wasnt till i was a little older that i started to learn how to beat it, but it made me apreciate the game. that game till this day has more innovation and difficulty than any thing out on the wii. and if us beginner gamers can learn to play those game they can learn to play the games of today with out reducing the industry to a dumbed down state of gaming.CantGetAWii said:I didn't want to bother with the other thing you posted about the online.
This though may have been as bad as my comment online.
If anything the Wii has over the other consoles is the edge in the casual gamers, with releases of games like Wii Play etc. Not to mention the simplicity of using the Wiimote.
Ps3 and 360 don't appeal to casual gamers really there bud.
But I don't know why you would want to argue that anyways..because your always complaining about the casual stuff and what not, and how Nintendo has to stop doing so much of it.
