You're really giving me the impression that you don't know what this topic is about. It's not about blindly hyping a title. I already stated that is fine to do. That has nothing to do with the OP. Absolutely nothing. Re-read the OP and then see how far off track you and I are going with what was intended from this topic. In fact, here it is reprinted:

I was reading the wikipedia article about The Conduit and I find out that the game features not only 16 players online but also wiispeak.I don't know but I feel that all nintendo hardcore fans should buy this game not only for support in the future from other third parties since if it sells well people will change their perspective about M rated games for the wii(1).But also since I feel high voltage is the only developer that is trying hard to do something unique for the wii.(2)Everything else is not apart from zack and wiki and no more heroes(those sold decently :( .I hope the conduit sells really well so that the hard work the high voltage is putting pays off.It would be a shame if it bombs :/

Now I'll name off my problems with the OP and how I personally got this point in the argument:

1. All Nintendo fans should buy this game just to support future third party games? Nothing about that statement says, "Buy it because it looks great and looks like it plays great!".

2. High Voltage is the ONLY developer trying hard to do something unique for the Wii? Really? How do you not see where MadWorld fits into that? I named how unique I felt MadWorld is and how not unique The Conduit seems.

Name me one time in the OP where it's stated we should buy The Conduit because of it's quality as a game. Huh? It's not there you say? Precisely.

My intention is not to bash The Conduit as a game. I haven't played it and I don't know how good or bad it is. What I do know from previews is that it's pretty run of the mill currently outside of the fact that it will have awesome Wii controls. Why does it have awesome Wii controls? Simple. Nintendo laid the blueprints down for FPS controls with Metroid Prime 3. The Conduit is an evolution of what Nintendo revolutionized.

The Conduit isn't offering anything another game could not duplicate and improve upon greatly next year and into the future. It is basically the first FPS on the Wii with standard features you would find on any FPS game coming to the PS3, 360 or the PC. Big fish, small pond. Add some more fish into that pond, which is inevitable, and somebody's going to understand how easily they can make another Conduit but add in that great story like Bioshock, that robust online multiplayer like COD4 or that amazing co-op like Halo 3 and Resistance 2(fingers crossed). This is why I feel The Conduit is basically a prince among Wii games and a pauper amongst first person shooters.

Try to apply any of that to MadWorld and you may begin to see why I made the comparison.

 

1) I understand what thee original topic was about. My issue is with how you handled yourself and not the fact that you disagree with the OP.

2) I already addressed this. There (up until a few hours maybe) was no game play shown of the game you are trying to push here. To this moment, nobody has confirmed playing it. All we had (again, until a few hours before... maybe) is an idea of what the game will be like. Basically, you fall into the same catagory when you end your statements with banter about buying a different game but for all the same reasons basically. At least people have PLAYED Conduit and it seem to be getting steller press from those people and NOT just a developer video. You must understand that I am only trying to get you to see your own hypocrisy.

3) I agree with this, but looking over your previous posts (and maybe I missed it...) I do not see where you said that. You said another game is more worthy, but you did not say, "Hey, what about MadWorld? Is it not also deserving? If not more so? Did you forget about this game and those guys? They are trying as hard as High Voltage, from what I can see." What you did was come off like a fool and then create a hyperbole of hypocrisy.

4) You should not imply that MadWorld is a good game. Nobody can because nobody has played the game. It would be foolish of you to jump the gun like that. For all we know, it is a great idea that ends up poorly executed (like that Rockstar game it is reminding me of more and more frequently). So right now, we have a game people are praising from what they have played, and we have MadWorld. Both I will be buying, but not for the same reasons.

5) I certainly do not think you are trying to bash The Conduit as a game. I just think your, "issues" and your reasoning for why we should be careful are shabby. It has good marketing? It would show success of third parties on the system? You must see where I am coming from. Those are not bad reasons to buy a game. Hell, I am not even sure how I feel about MadWorld after this newest video but I know I am still going to buy it because Nintendo needs that opening. You might not agree, but I am doing my part to ultimately reach the same goal you are. And by the way, I could see if those were thee ONLY reasons to buy the game. But when the people that have actually played the game are saying it is coming along better than their expectation, you really are grasping as straws, and losing your grip each time.

6) Like I said, you can replace The Conduit with any FPS game when comparing it to MadWorld and say the same thing. That does not make the FPS game any less good, it just shows that both games have a place in the market. A good thing. You seem to make it more of an either or with your approach.

Like I said, for me, I would recommend both games. What would I look like saying MadWorld, a game nobody has played deserves more attention or is more deserving of my money than The Conduit? That makes no sense. And like I said, my issues were not with your opinion, just how you decided to stress them. There is not much you have said that I could disagree with, but I do not agree with how you presented it. If anything, this last paragraph is all I really want you to remember. I only posted the rest because I had already typed it out...
