| bardicverse said: RE4 is a good entry point, because it doesnt rely on backstory much at all, and you wont have to deal with the cumbersome controls that the earlier RE games were known for. It WILL make your heart race, a lot. =) While I know you said you're not much into the Nintendo franchises, I can vouch for Zelda: Twilight Princess. Definitely a good adventure game that tends to be more serious than most of its previous versions. Also, if you hadn't played it on the PS2, might be a good time to check out Okami, another adventure game with an interesting concept. The Wii makes a good compliment to a HD console, since you can get the best of both worlds that way. I myself have a PC and a Wii, and minus for the rare game or 2, most HD console games make their way to the PC too. Plus there are a lot of PC only games. I have no desire for any other gaming systems in my house at this time, and I think once you get a Wii, you'll be truly content with your purchases too. When your Wii library lacks, you'll fall back onto your PS3. When a new, solid game comes to the Wii, you can switch over to that. Locking yourself away like some virgin princess, married to only one gaming platform is not healthy for a gamer. Diversify =) |
Oh right! I forgot about Okami, I wanted to try that one too! And I think you are right about the falling back on my PS3, I hadn't thought about that. And you last sentence is just pure awesome

A very personal point of view indeed, but is it wrong to assume that other people out there feel like me? You can call it "Constructive critisicm on the Wii lineup IMO", and at least it's a different point of view than the typical "Wii doesn't have any games!" or "casuals on the Wii, bla bla bla"
| Bobbuffalo said: About the lazyness from the 3d parties...well it has been discussed here and everywhere ad nauseaum. The 3d parties became lazy, spoiled and elitist and they forgot what videogames are really made about (hint: NOT GRAPHICS). |
Yes it has, but I'm not here to rip a new hole in this discussion, I am just pointing it out. And if I was a 3rd party developer watching Deadly Creatures from the sideline, while Wii Fit dominates the sales charts, I sure as hell would be in doubt about what to do with that platform and all the people wanting "hardcore" games on it.
| Bobbuffalo said: There are very good 3d party games but it seems that you want M rated hardcore stuff. There are mature games on the wii but seeing your post I don't think you'll like it. |
Yes and no. M-rated games are by no means something I am going for specifically, but Killzone 2, Call of Duty 4, Fallout 3 and Dead Space are all good games. But games like LittleBigPlanet, Burnout Paradise and Valkyria Chronicles are all great games that I probably like more than the four M-rated games I mentioned before. So, hardcore, I'd say so, but M-rated is not a criteria by a long shot.
| Bobbuffalo said: Bottomline: don't suffer and keep your PS3. And I am a wii lover yeah, but each people should buy the console it fits better. |
I will keep my PS3, and I will love it, but I want to love the Wii as well, and like with my PS3, it wont happen without more 3rd party games I have interest in.
