 I think that because of what others have said, not just you.  Why should I take your word for it?

I notice you ignored what I said made me excited about the game despite their track record.

And you want to quit already? I've only posted twice :P

Why should you take their word for it?  Don't you make your own opinions?

What's exciting?  It's a shooter.  There's been others on the Wii.  Do you think that it'll be better than COD:WaW on the Wii?  Have you played that game or do you have an opinion on that one too based on what other people have told you?

I wanted to quit but you are way too easy so I decided to stay. 

 

You said you were sick of everyone saying that The Conduit was the first 3rd party game with effort, because Red Steel was the first.  So, it was either I take your word for it or the majority's.

I own WaW.  It's o.k., but lacks a lot of modes and replayability.  Also, the graphics aren't terribly good (as opposed to what I do know about The Conduit).  The Conduit's going to have, at the very least, a far greater variety of multiplayer options (and the like), and if it has even a similar level of gameplay and originality (which shouldn't be hard), the diverseness of modes, the far better graphics, the exclusiveness of the title (which lends itself better to the systems strengths), and the incredible controls vastly outperform WaW (and especially MOH, another one I've played).  Yes, it could be another run-of-the-mill FPS, but we haven't even had that on the Wii yet.

 

I don't think that anyone ever accused Red Steel of not having effort put forth.  The problem with the game is the fact that it was put out a little early in order to reach the launch date.  This resulted in some minor bugs.  The controls for the sword play were a bit clunky but this was the first game to ever try it.  The shooting controls were also the first of it's kind along with COD 3 which was released on the same day if I'm not mistaken.  The graphics were actually really good.  If you don't believe me, look at some screenshots.  The four player split screen was basic but fun.  Unfortunately, you're the type of guy that reads reviews and bases your opinions on this.  You aren't the type of guy that actually plays a game and comes to your own opinion. 

What makes you think that the controls in the Conduit will be incredible?  Honestly?  Is this what you read someone say?  You also say that they will vastly outperform COD: WaW and especially MoH.  This is laughable.  I think that I'd be with the majority when I say that MoH's controls are much better than COD: WaW's.  Not that I care about being in the majority, but that seems to be important to you.  This brings me to another point.  I don't forsee the Conduit's controls being better than MoH's. 

I just hope that the Conduit is decent because the Wii needs more decent shooters.
