The Wii generation. History will judge the 3rd parties

LoL.

To me this will be remembered as the generation with the most people that bought a console without looking at its game library and then spent half the gen asking for stuff they like to be ported to their console.......( and complaining about every port because it's not like the original...)

Woah. You just summarized my entire opinion of the Wii...or just added on to it. My opinion now is:

"The Wii is the only console in history to "win" the generation NOT because it has the best games. And it "won" because most people bought the console without looking at its game library and then spent half the gen asking for stuff they like to be ported to their console.......( and complaining about every port because it's not like the original...)"

It makes PERFECT sense. Every new game comes out, and it stays HD exclusive, then they ask "Why don't they port this game to the Wii?"

IF YOU WANTED THOSE GAMES, WHY DID YOU BUY A WII IN THE FIRST PLACE?

 

Heh. Beating up on strawmen looks like fun! Let me have a turn now. *Ahem.*

 

"This is the only generation where people bought a console not because the games were fun, but because the visuals were so pretty. They then spent half the generation whining when the majority of people rejected their narrow tastes and values.......(and complaining that not every game is in 1080p).

"It makes PERFECT sense. Every time something shows that most folks who aren't 16-25 year old boys (and millions who are) prefer substance over style, they then ask "Why are people buying a console without any games?!"

"IF YOU WANTED TO UNDERSTAND WHY MOST PEOPLE DON'T GIVE A FLYING FLIP ABOUT WHAT YOU THINK IS FUN, WHY DON'T YOU STOP HAVING THE EGOCENTRISM OF A CHILD AND START THINKING LIKE A RATIONAL ADULT?"

 

 

.....well. That wasn't very fun. Since I don't see why you enjoy acting like you do, I'm going to assume you're stupid. Also, rather than pay attention to anything you actually say and do, I'm going to put on my Tunnel Vision Goggles, and only acknowledge things that enforce my point of view, so don't bother pointing out the numerous things in the above three paragraphs that are incorrect.

Once you stop using critical thought, objectivity, and rationality, the world becomes such a simpler place. But never a happier one... I begin to see the attraction...

this is nintendos fault. instead of building 1 multiplat game, because the systems are similar, it now requires one game for the 360/ps3 and one for the wii. thats additional time and money that could be spent making 1 good game for everyone....but no...everyone suffers now. thanks a lot nintendo.

I, too, prefer having three machines that deliver the exact same games and wish they were PCs, rather than having a gaming PC and a console that's pretty different.

My new thoughts on Nintendo!

 

You don't see a tonn of HD console owner raving and rambling each time a new third party title is announced for their platform so it seems they are somewhat happy with their purchase...

I don't give a flying **** about Dead Space Wii.

I am just getting really tired of the weekly (dare I say daily) complains about the latest third party attempt to bring software to the Wii.

If they don't 'they haven't understood the gen'

If they do 'the game is a sucky port'

Guess with some people you can never win....
