@Barozi: It's ok, I'm just in a bad mood.

Once your on the site long enough, you'll know all the arguments and counter arguments. It's more of a chess game. I know what both sides of this argument are going to post before the argument starts. The resolution is a slip up that often keeps the argument going.

no problem. I just woke up, still a bit tired and forgot about the resolution....

 

He shouldn't go on the way he does (LOL). Getting angry like that I mean, heh. For someone pre-law I would've thought he would've had a better argument. Then again...the control scheme he showed was creative yet still pretty funny.

 

The fact that I'm getting ready for law school is the only reason why I notice that stuff like that and why everything I post in an argument is cited (or can be).

I play the Nintendo fan, because I own a Wii right now... but I don't really care.

 

If you look deep enough into my ppost history you'll see me on all sides of the argument. Just like a lawyer.

 

My favorite one is why the Xbox has better graphics than the Wii. It basically boiled down to this.

Paraphrased:

What the hardware is capable of is irrelevant, if very little of the content shows those capabilities.

 

Last time I checked, Lawyers take sides.....for a handsome fee...sometimes not so handsome at all. Either way I respect the fact that you are a gamer. I love the Wii, I just don't feel that shooters are it's strong point. I don't believe you've realized that yet from my posts.

(Note: I'm not a lawyer, I'm not getting paid by anyone, and I'm not in law school yet. My experience with lawyers has proven to me that the one who can see both sides, predict the opposing stategy, and prepare a counter strategy is the one who wins.)

I respect your opinion.

The bolded part works for graphics. It also works for what your talking about.

 

This is what bothers me about Nintendo fanboys.

Yes the Wii is capable of better graphics.

Yes MOH:H2 and MP3 have a great FPS control scheme.

But where are the games?


Capable doesn't matter if it's not doing it. It's a like a sports car with cheap tires or a big screen 1080p TV with bunny ears and a PS3 hooked up with composite cables. It doesn't matter what the specs are if it's not being used to it's potential. Potential doesn't mean shit. (That goes for Wii and PS3 owners, they always talk about potential)

I love my Wii, but I'm not trying to pretend it has a great FPS line up. I'm saying it could, but it doesn't. I have my doubts (and hopes) about both the Conduit and COD5. I want CoD5 to be good because I like the Wii control scheme. But in the end it doesn't matter for me very much. I plan on having all three consoles again soon and I have a really great PC. For Wii-only gamers I'm sure they might care a bit more than me. (Also, I don't like too many shooters anyway)

I'm watching HD fans saying there are no games for them. Fine.

I see Nintendo fans saying, but look at all these games.

 

These threads go on for hundreds of posts. It's very amusing.

 

As far as Epic goes, they make plenty of money making HD games.

 

Astonishingly I agree with this 100% I'm hoping the Conduit does well myself. That game is getting major press. Anyway, I myself am a pretty picky guy I guess. I don't like wasting my time. I'll play my fighter games on the PS3, Shooters on the 360, Sports and racing on the 360 and Action, Adventure, RPGs, and multiplats on both. The Wii... tends to be played at my friends house when everyones there. He finds no reason to buy the HD systems and I find no reason to buy a Wii, so we switch it up at each others houses on the systems. It seems fool proof to me.
