cura is not complaining.

"The Conduit is just not a spectacular game as some people would have you believe."  Cura

Since he hasn't played the game how can he justify that statement... I would call it a complaint and there are just as many good reviews (this site included that would refute his statement).

I'm not saying it is spectacular or even AAA. But it is a very good to great Wii game for sure.

I would rather call it a summary of what has been said the last few days.

Umm you aren't qualified to comment either...

"This promise for the next games of High Voltage Software.

The only good that they did was their PR. 'We don't forget the Wii hardcore gamer so that is why we make a game for the console" (Read as: We would be destroyed if we made the game for the HD consoles'. Making Wii owners hyping this game up.

If this game sell bad we will see the media commenting (Ofcourse why make a hardcore game on the Wii). If it sells good (Yeah crap sells well).

Lucky as a gamer I am quite interested in their other projects but I will skip the conduit." Lostplanet22

but he is wrong anyway, The Conduit is as great as expected

Second, I called that guy a wii fanboy because he said gameplay for HD multiplatforms are horrible ( something wii fanboys are saying over and over again) Third, I said that I PERSONALY expected Conduit to be equal with KZ2 on metacritic and that its a flop in MY eyes. So you personally set a ridiculously high expectation for the game, then call it a flop because it didn't meet the metascore. Have you read any sensible reviews for the game? It is a raging success, but for obvious reasons it has not beat out the worlds best FPS titles. It sounds to me like those who over hyped the crap out of this game weren't in fact Wii/Nintendo supporters or fans, just heated wii fanboys (who i have yet to encounter) and haters who never have anything nice to say. arsenal009 was probably wrong for calling gameplay in multiplat games for the PS3/X360 horrible because that's just incorrect (Bioshock anyone?). If he was talking about multiplatform games that are also available on Wii then he is still wrong. You should have simply corrected him and moved on. Prove me otherwise if i'm wrong about this, but you strike me as the kind of person who is quick to point the fanboy finger at those who even slightly disagree with you... or if it is consequently related to nintendo in any way. Before you get the wrong idea, no i'm not accusing you of being a fanboy, mostly just a hater. You should not have expected The Conduit to equal with a high quality, highly respected shooter such as Killzone 2... not in quality and especially not in an overall metascore. You should of kept reasonable expectations taking into account all the circumstances.

If its a ridiculously high expectation for you, its not for me. When the game doesnt meet my expectation i called it a flop. The reason i tought it would be AAA title was because it was most hyped FPS game on the wii.

And i am not gonna correct someone EVERY time he\she says something wrong...

Of course it is a ridiculously high expectation. In fact it was nigh impossible. You could not have possibly thought this game had a chance of matching metascores with the best shooters available on the PS3/X360. It does not matter what HVS had done, it just wasn't going to happen all things considered.

If your expectation for the game was to have a metascore of the same number or higher as Killzone 2, you were doomed from the beginning. Why do you have such an expectation anyway, it was quite clear this game would never be rated as highly as acclaimed shooters and the reasons root deeper than the fact that it is just not as good. You should read sensible reviews for the game, it is far from a flop, but you had it down as "if it gets lower than X score, it's a flop" so it is quite clear this game is a failure to you.

Yes, this was the most hyped FPS on the Wii, if anything, you should have used this as a reason why it would not reach a metascore as high as Killzone 2. That said, i'm pretty sure most people kept things sensible within the hype, i know i wasn't shouting out "best FPS ever!", hell i didn't see anyone make this sort of claim. Everybody said it would be a great looking, great playing FPS on the Wii... which it is. This garbage about The Conduit revolutionizing the genre or pushing it to new heights is bullshit, no one said it was going to do these things and if anyone truly thought it would well then they really do need a reality check.

And i don't know about you but I'd rather simply correct someone then stick the fanboy finger up their nose.

if you call Conduit a flop then i call InFamous and Killzone 2 major flops in sales, because if you think of all that hype you've been spreading for months, they should have sold at least 4m each

Conduit was hyped, is a flop is review scores but for me and most Wii owners is as great as expected, not to say even better, for me Conduit is AAA whatever reviews say, i personally enjoy it and even if they give 2.0 i'll still enjoy it as much of course, so play the game and then say it's a flop

Conduit has a user score of 8.9, the same as Killzone 2

Not much to do with the thread, but the game is going for $39 on Amazon.com right now. Get it while it's cheap.
