Good question, but I ask the same thing to you... Why didnt you buy or rent QoS Wii and COD WAW? Why willing to wait for The Conduit? Whats special about The Conduit that you willing to wait for it? Sure QoS and COD WAW didnt live to your high expectations but the game was good why not enjoy and have fun with it?

Anyway, I admit I played the singleplayer mission of QoS Wii since I borrowed it from my friend, and do you know what? Its good so far. SURE, the graphics was 2003 graphics on the PS2 but it sure was fun. I didnt try the splitscreen multiplayer of it but as for the controls and gameplay so far Im gonna sure buy this game when the price will be lower than now. I wont buy this in retail price but I definitely buy it because its fun...

Im gonna buy The Conduit for sure but not because the reasons whats everyone's reasons why theyre buying the conduit but because Im may be gonna enjoy this game. Same goes to COD WAW to tell you honestly, I dont care about online play, and I bought MOH: H2 because its bargain price. I bought my Wii just this year BTW...

And with that, The Conduit and other Wii games dont need the hype it deserves, you will mostly disappointed afterwards. If it sell it sells, and because of advertising and its a good game but not because of hype. I really dont think The Conduit will be the turning point game for 3rd parties, no other games is, not even Monster Hunter 3.

 

 

Haha. :) Good questions, I like to answer good questions!

When I see CoD and other WW2 games, I mostly yawn and get bored.

when I saw CoD4 live on PS3, I just thought the graphics were stiff and weak, a cheap excuse for a HD game where the developers would rather spend time on textures than work on the details (for example, outside of the buildings, nature ), good design and nice a artstyle. All was not that bad, but I expected more from a HD game. I even think Super Mario Galaxy has better graphics then CoD4. At least PS3 and Xbox has a few good looking FPS games and now Wii might get one with The Conduit.

But to be fair, The Conduit has many of the same bad stuff and is on a weaker system. But the enemyes, interesting (not saying good) story, the alien weapons (based or not on weapons from other games) and the way to control them with the Wii Remote and some interesting levels draws my interest to the game.

Rent games here in Sweden? Don't know any place where one can do that anymore, not sense the SNES era when I was a kid and the place I rented movies at had a gameroom in the cellar. One just had to walk past the scary horror movies near the steps down. That was a good times! Even if I don't know a place that rents out games or anyone that rent games, there should be a place somewhere. But probably not near me. :( If I could rent, I think would rent QoS! But not CoD WAW.

So i short, if I would wait for The Conduit, it would be because I find the alternatives not worth it. There is so much more games then FPS games that interests me.

I don't care what makes The Conduit sell as long as it sells, hype or not. Monster Hunter 3 might do something in Japan, but thats probably it.

 

 Its really a matter of preference on what games you want to  buy or not, but saying The Conduit is a must buy game and everyone should wait for it? Even theres COD WAW? Naah... thats what Im saying.

Anyway, what I really want to say was buy games what you want, dont affected by the hype. It'll ruin your expectations and you just simply disappointed. I appreciate what HVS doing for the Wii but The Conduit isnt the game we waiting for either.

Anyway, the Wiis are in 2.04 this month in NA according to NPD so I think third parties cant ignore the Wii anymore unless they want to face bankruptcy.
