WHOA this thread grew by about 100 posts, sorry for the hiatus I was beating the game and helping Kitchen get the review finished :P but now we can get the FCs added to the front page
and update reviews and such.


You thought Prometheus had good dialogue, you silly, silly man.   

What? I thought he did...

I don't know if it will equal sales but the game seems to have gotten a pretty good reception on most of the boards I read. (VGChartz, IGN (Wii), GAF). Its a bit mixed on Gamefaqs... However, comments sections for the reviews are full of hate. If they review it, expect Giantbomb to give it a bad score. They did a quicklook and Jeff Gerstman and Brad Shoemaker were complaining about input lag (bad controls), ugly environments etc. Of course, they didn't have the bounding box set small enough so of course the turning was slow...

 

This is all I have to say about Jeff Gerstman, and people still at Gamespot.

Lol... I forgot about that.  I always thought he was a tool when he was with Gamespot but this confirms it.  Another thing I remember is he gave Scarface on Wii a 58 and even though it isn't the best game I can't see it being much lower than 70 since it still has the best third person shooter mechanics on Wii and is probably tied with Godfather as the best sandbox game on Wii...

Oh yeah, dude. I never cared for him there. The Twilight Princess review was the final nail in the coffin though.

And remember gang, according to gamespot this game is equal to Red Steel.

I learned long ago that Giant Bomb is a terrible website for Wii owners.  Avoid it.

As for Gamespot, and some other sites which shall remain nameless, I don't think they are giving this game a fair shake.  From everything that I've seen, it seems the general consensus is that The Conduit just edges out Call of Duty: World at War as the best FPS on the Wii.  You would never know it from looking at the review scores though.

ok, so I finally got a chance to play Conduit.

Good game so far. I haven't tried MP, but SP has been good.

I have a question for some of ya'll

1. When you use melee, does your view get jacked up sometimes? Many times my view will get lodged in the top-right corner after a melee attack.

2. I changed the difficulty to a step above default since many said the game was too easy. However, I can't get past the stupid (your gonna laugh) memorial section. I tried run/gun and get killed, if I hold off and slowly make my way up, I never have much time to grab the rocket launcher and shoot anything before I have 6+ baddies on my ass = dead.

Any pointers?

3. What's with the super laser beam that just takes me out sometimes? 90%+ health to zero in one shot. wtf.

If you grab a strike rifle and have a fast shooting finger you can survive.

That laser beam is from the strike rifle and it's basically like a snipers bullet.

1. Yeah that happened to me a bunch, I changed the melee button to A so the motion didn't screw up my viewing.

2. I was stuck there for a while, what I did was wait behind the wall until I could kill one of the enemies and grab their strike rifle, then wait and pick of the exploding guys before I start running up with a charged shot. Then I run up, shooting off any stragglers, and throw a grenade into the opening of the memorial. I grabbed the rocket launcher and lucked out from there!

3. Thats a charged Drudge Strke Rifle shot to the head :)

Ahh you beat me....

jump to about 3:00, just some cheap shit you have to try to avoid like rolling bombs, if you can survive that, you can snipe them with striker until their number lowers or go strong force like an idiot like me.

So, get my code input, guys!

I'm really loving the multiplayer, now that I've gotten the hang of the weapons. I just outkilled the 9 other people I was playing against combined :D
