| mike_intellivision said: It could be that the owners of other consoles are (a) jealous or (b) worried because this game has the "potential" to provide the Wii with an excellent game in a genre where it is underrpresented. Or it could be that people just don't like the Wii getting anything that resembles a good game. Let's take for instance Carnival Games. People forget that when it was released it was one of the first third-party minigame collections and that it uses the Havok engine and that it has a lot of in-game collectibles which increased its replay value. Still, people rag on it -- usually those who don't own a Wii or have never played it. Mike from Morgantown |
You know, that annoys me also. People rag on Carnival Games, but people need to get real here. Like Wii Bowling, Carnival Games happens to be innovative in the videogame front. It attempts to do something we don't see normally, using a more intuitive interface. And yet, it gets ragged on. Even I have been tempted to pick it up sometime.
It gets a double shot by non-Wii owners who feel that gore=mature, and defensive Wii owners who hang out here, who feel embarrassed by Carinval Games not being "hardcore" enough. It is entirely possibly that this defensiveness is leading to an excessive hyping of The Conduit, and being upset if the Wii is reduced to a casual player's game machine (not too many "hardcore" games).
Well, all this being said, I do hope that The Conduit proves to be a good game, and worth picking up. I do own a Wii after all. My initial question was a call partly to have people hyping it explain why I should get interested in it.
