There have been many threads about TC mainly because it seems to be one of the very few "hardcore-like" games that are made with more serious efforts on the wii...at least for now, because this year seems different. But I never wanted to get in them because I am not sure if it will sell like crazy.Mind you, I do believe it will sell well but won't be as much as other FPS games and no is not because what Wii haters and HD fanboys say (you know what and who). I guess the game won't have Mega-duper-sales because it lacks one thing:
Local multiplayer.
Yes the graphics are awesome as well as the online options..but what about when people will gather and play at a friend's house, see this game, want to play it and they won't be able to?
That won't talk good about it.
The first Halo, let's face it, is very generic and a little mediocre. Even the visuals aren't that great, although they are good. Still the game managed to sell A LOT. Even if there were better FPS on PCs. And even if Halo 2 and 3 were released, the first part still sells. I always wondered why and I guess that the answer is simple:
Local Multiplayer.
Halo didn't had online and yet it sold a lot. Who hasn't heard anecdotes about College guys gathering in a bedroom and play Halo all nigth long? or even setting up a lan in their bedrooms?
And now The Conduit which tries to compete with such games and tries to attract the attention of said games...why on earth lacks such important feature? what were High Voltage thinking seriously?
Games like Mario Kart wii, Smash bros brawl, Mario Party, and again, Halo and heck even Red steel, proves that having the option of playing with your friends on a place and have fun together won't ever be surpassed by the great graphics or the online features.
I hope that TC sells well, I think it will, but I can't still imagine why they decided to eliminate such feature. Is just absurd.
Personally, I am not very intersted on that game because of it.
What do you think?
PS: and don't give the retarded argument of "duuude buy a HD console then duuude" because is moronic and doesn't make sense.
