| Khuutra said: I couldn't disagree more when it comes to art direction. Good art direction can add immeasurably to a game. Shadow of the Colossus would not have been nearly as powerful an experience without its particular style. |
I guess style is more easily forgiven than raw graphical prowess (hence why I say the Conduit had better be DAMN fun, otherwise it's not going to survive the 20 minute mark).
Still, I was surprised that WW didn't keep me in awe with its style like I figured it might.
"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
