| The Ghost of RubangB said: Dammit, I can't deny it when you tell me I know it in my heart. I was just tossing around bad analogies for fun. I thought that became the point of this thread after a while. Indulge me, I was trying to concede a way out of a terrible rethorical place you had created for yourself. Everybody knows Twilight is a passing craze that isn't revolutionizing vampire films. However, I think Wii Sports is no passing craze and is actually revolutionizing video games. It is changing the landscape for non-gamers. It did squat for gamers. They can care about the economy of the industry or in an abstract way about other people having fun, but it didn't add much to their gaming life. I think that's a good thing and some people here think that's a bad thing. I have no idea why it could be a bad thing. Market expansion is not market replacement. Say that to the Nintendo core gamers that are feeling neglected. There's quite a number of them. I really don't know why this game gets so much hate. From a seasoned gamer's point of view it might have little going for it. Much richer games have been dissed thoroughly. Why should this game be special for such an audience? I think I should just start a "Why do you hate Wii Sports?" thread to gather all the anti-Wii Sports arguments in one place. I really still don't get it. Most common answer you'd get? "Because it's a bad game" Second most common answer? "Because if this is the direction the industry takes I fear there will be less space for the games I like" It's that simple, really. |
