150% in agreement (duh!). I simply, honestly hope Nintendo seises this chance (the Stream project, or whatever it's called) to instil some new vigor into its winded and almost lethargic games development body, now that they have amassed billions upon billions of dollars with the wii. No more wight measurement, waist movements, hand shaking shit...PLEASE!

Amir0x said:I am happy to hear you disagree? It really informs me on, er, the disagreement part of things.
I would hope to elicit commentary on people who actually like this tripe because it educates me on how far people can go to the other side. I like being educated. It's not offensive to me if you take a position contrary to mine. In fact, the ones who do are the ones I respect because they can defend the things they like. It represents passion, and passion is a good thing.q
Skiesofwonder said:The thing is I hate going "there" because of little comments like how far people can go to the other side. Not saying I don't laugh, because I do. I do find your comments and insights funny. But also infuriating sometimes because to get your point across you literally try to make the other person sound like a kindergarten monkey trying to shove a square block into a circle-shaped hole.
I'm not a Nintendo fanboy because I like Wii Sports Resort, Wii Fit Plus, or even Wii Play. Yes they are tech-like products used to get their "gimmick" across. But that doesn't stop them from having quality gameplay, the Nintendo charm I love, and FUN FUN FUN. There is nothing wrong with some good-ole pick-up and play party games. In fact, I would argue that we NEED more local multi-player games like the Wii line. My mom, dad, and girlfriend being able to play is just an added bonus for me, but I do welcome the bonus.
And for the record I love Kinect Sports and Sports Champions as well.
Fun Note: My girlfriend started out on Kinect; Dance Central/Kinect Sports. Then she moved to Wii Sports Resort, and is now playing Sims 3. So this week she picked up Trauma Center for the DS, and she LOVED it. We are going to start up a CO-OP game on Trauma Team next week. I'm excited, and I've never even played it. Cool stuff.
So you think they should use the money they made with the Wii & piss it away appealing to a smaller market?
Look where it got Sony sacrificing the casuals.Pistolero said:Or maybe...just maybe, split it even. In the PS2 era, Sony managed to satisfy both the core segment and masses of neophytes. Nintendo sacriced the first group, plain and simple.

Rare is only there to aquire the IP.AceBandage said:Considering Rare is anything BUT hardcore these days... no...
AceBandage said:Hmm, it seems your girlfriend's tastes are slowly getting better.
Move her up to Layton and Phoenix Wright.
Amir0x said:Wii Sports, for example, is one of the shallowest, shittiest sports games ever created - a series of sports mini-games stripped of every compelling element involving those respective sports and any modicum of strategy and competitive force and dumbed down so that game haters don't have to think about where their fingers are for more than two miliseconds lest they be offended by having to utilize more than one brain cell at a time.
jacksrb said:I get my ire up at little when I read your thoughts, but that's on me.
I think I am in awe of Wii Sports due to the brilliance of what is included in the package. Its a simple joy similar to throwing darts in real life. Really straightforward, but fun. The 'easy to do once, hard to do consistently' makes even the oft-maligned golf game re-playable to me.
Yes it stripped out a lot of mechanics to reduce the barrier to entry, but what is there goes way beyond tech-demo type software to me. I think the lack of other flashpoint software in the Wii's life illustrates how hard to do and how polished it is.
I bet I exploit it better.Amir0x said:Popularity does not imply competence.
Also, in every Wii Sports game there is, I can basically ace anything with my eyes closed. It's comically exploitable. Only golf really gives me any trouble being reliable. Of course with the six holes they got, it gets boring in about five seconds.
In an actual golf game, you'd get characters of varying skills, many courses, many club types and the whole nine. Do you expect this to be acceptable because they butchered it and glued it to other similarly butchered sports titles?

I can one up you.Amir0x said:to the point where in bowling you can get a perfect score on almost every go? Or how in baseball 90% of all my shots are homeruns.
DefectiveReject said:I'm not quite sure but I have a sneaky suspicion that amir0x doesn't like Wii Sports. Maybe it killed his collie or stole his manhood or something.
Your reasoning for hating it is far beyond my comprehension. To hate something so much........... Glad Wii Sports is not a person or I'd ask the police to keep an eye onyou.
Fernando Rocker said:Guys... what do you want to see on this console... of course, the correct answer would be both... but if you had to pick just one:
Graphics or Online?
Maybe he is just not good in that game...DefectiveReject said:I'm not quite sure but I have a sneaky suspicion that amir0x doesn't like Wii Sports. Maybe it killed his collie or stole his manhood or something.

I just wanted to know which feature is more important to most of us, the Nintendo fans...Amir0x said:I hate Wii Sports, but I don't HATE Wii Sports.
I reserve HATE for only one thing and that is Animal Crossing. To me, Animal Crossing is not merely a casualtard game, it is the worst anything ever created - movie, book, tv, game. It is worse than FANTASTIC FOUR PSOne or Manos Hand of Fate.
What would even be the point of this question?
I hate questions like this.
The answer IS both, and there is no scenario where it should be anything but both and at an equally high level of proficiency.
Bowling, Boxing, and Tennis are very easy to exploit. I've never understood the motions the game wants for Golf, but I tend to suck at that in real life too.Fernando Rocker said:Maybe he is just not good in that game...
I hope the system continues the Nintendo trend of featuring graphics. I've loved that feature since the NESFernando Rocker said:Guys... what do you want to see on this console... of course, the correct answer would be both... but if you had to pick just one:

Cerebral Assassin said:You hate a game that basically cons little kids into learning about the shitty real world(Tom Nook is a capitalist scumbag), but don't hate games like Mindjack?
Also about Wii Sports, when did mini-game collections go from niche(Bishi Bashi Special) to casualtard?
Mortrialus said:Except conservative and liberal actually describe general political philosophies. You still have yet to provide a definition that has any use whatsoever.
DefectiveReject said:I reckon
Don't you bring down Animal Crossing.
You play games you hate.............. Ever think of not buying them
Willy105 said:You know Amir0x, despite the very intense wording you use to describe them, those things you describe are the reason people love those games so much. They are easy to play, they feel very rewarding, and it doesn't expect you to be a pro, just feel like one.
Wii Sports is way too simple nowadays though, with Wii Sports Resort and Kinect Sports around.
Amir0x said:you mean it cons grown ass adults into playing awful fishing/digging mini-games while simultaneously forcing them onto a hamster wheel of home decorating and writing letters to hilariously terrible Animal A.I. who basically never understand even two words you put down?
At least in THE SIMS you are punished for being a shitty player. Animal Crossing forces you to stay alive forever. Oh, except, weeds grow and people get all pouty when you don't visit for a week

pap = very trendy.
Cerebral Assassin said:But seriously not all games have to appeal to you(or me)
Cerebral Assassin said:Also Wii Sports was extremely entertaining, playing games with people who previously wouldn't touch a game before that was fun.
I have to admit, this made me laugh for quite awhile.

They really need to shake up the AC formula. Maybe allow you to explore it from a behind-the-back or over-the-shoulder view so you can see the backs of houses and look up at the trees, etc, making the game more immersive. And give the player way more to do, like the ability to farm crops in addition to (or separate from) shaking down every goddamn tree in town for fruits to sell. Remove inventory limits, make Nook's Cranny open 24/7 -- basically, eliminate all the bullshit limtis that exist just to make this escapist entertainment more like the reality from whence we escape.
AC is certainly a pleasant place to unwind in. But the game shouldn't create so much work for work's sake.
Maybe that would be an incentiveAmir0x said:I don't want the ability to give tags because by the end of the first year everyone on GAF would have a really embarrassing tag.

Well they already have the same basic character shape, so they could always turn it into a cover-based third-person shooter.Amir0x said:Battletoads probably wouldn't be a very sellable game today. Beat 'em ups are the deadest genre I know.
