Are you, by chance, also pro-deforestation?


It depends on where it is happening, if its in a third world country then yes i am fine with it, i also don't care if they have whale hunts, club baby seals. I also support the war machine, and its goal of a global war to sustain US and western goals around the world. The war for oil sounds good, i also would not care if they shot all mexicans entering the US without greencards.

I also support Israel and their war for freedom against the unholy muslim armies, who wish to rid the world of jews and western culture. I also don't think countries should be doing anything to help aids victims in Africa, they caused this, so screw them.

I also think douglas Macarthur should of been allowed to nuke china when they attacked UN forces during the Korean war, but truman was soft and refused to give the greatest war leader ever the weapons to win the war.

I also think that the US was to soft in fighting the VC and NVA forces during the Vietnam war. I also think the US/UN forces went to soft on Iraq during the Gulf war, total destruction of the nation would of been fine.


Um, it's would've or should've, contractions for would have or should have.

As far as the content of your post, I take it you're not a Christian.

 


Actually he sounds like a follower of the bible, haven't you read about all the wars they fought in the name of their god against non believers?


I being sarcastic. How ANYONE could read the new testament and come away with such an ideology is beyond me.


Well actually didn't it say in the NT that those who deny Jesus's followers will suffer worse than those of Sodom and Gammorah


 Jesus' followers?  I have yet to actually meet one outside of the clergy.

Sometimes BornFirst it takes something like the Wii to "shake up the industry" and get things moving again - look at the 360's range in titles, I bought one in May cos I love FPS and already i'm sick to death of them.

 The Coolest thing about the casual market, is its limited to the amount of people that live in this world LOL, thats practically bottomless. I keep hearing stupid things like "casuals will get bored sooner or later and not play the wii anymore", though i do not agree with these statements, if that were to happen, what about all the casual gamers who do not have a Wii and want one? The truth is, you do not have to make a game like brain age, wiifit, or wii sports, to attract some casuals to buy your game. When these CEO like Rod Cousens realise this life will be a little better for them.

 

If i am to make one prediction, it is that the Wii lasts longer than the 360 and PS3.

Third parties can do good on Nintendo's platform if they make GOOD games which is often times rare, but there's already 5 third party games over 1 million in sales in a year, if they think having million sellers is dangerous territory they're just crazy, the only thing stopping them on Nintendo's platform is what they make of the games they make, IE if its shovelware, they're only trying to make money with no effort, if its a new a unique Idea or making an old idea even better, IE Rayman and Resident Evil 4, they will make money on the system.

This is similar to companies refusing to switch to environmentally friendly methods, even though they have developed to the point where the profit margin is greater.

If it involves a cool toy, like a machine that does the work of twelve people, they will jump on it, due the perfectly understandable reason of getting more money.

Yet if it comes from something they hate, they won't take it. Environmentally friendly methods would be like admitting the liberals are right, even though there can be just as many conservative values served by it (more efficient methods are also proof of progress, and the reward for hard work in developing them).

Thus it is with Nintendo. Yamguchi is a good businessman, but he did treat third parties almost like employees. Yet it is third parties fault for thinking twenty years ago is still happening. Iwata is a developer, and he understands their situation. It's the third parties fault if they don't want to deal with him, even if having games on the system, even smaller and multiplatform, means more money.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

 Smartest thing I've heard in a while.

It makes sense that the only reason devs would still be hesitant to offer Wii support is because they're still bitter about the past. 



"I mean, c'mon, Viva Pinata, a game with massive marketing, didn't sell worth a damn to the "sophisticated" 360 audience, despite near-universal praise--is that a sign that 360 owners are a bunch of casual ignoramuses that can't get their heads around a 'gardening' sim? Of course not. So let's please stop trying to micro-analyze one game out of hundreds and using it as the poster child for why good, non-1st party, games can't sell on Wii. (Everyone frequenting this site knows this is nonsense, and yet some of you just can't let it go because it's the only scab you have left to pick at after all your other "Wii will phail1!!1" straw men arguments have been put to the torch.)" - exindguy on Boom Blocks
