everyone who claims that shia's being bashed just because he doesn't like the wii need to reread what he said. he basically bashed the entire wii user base, and he has never played the console. opinions are fine, but this guy hasn't even touched a wii. he has no right to use such harsh words.
let it be known that i still plan on seeing transformers 2. also, although Megan Fox is a twit, id still hit that. XD

You don't need to play the Wii to know that it is geared towards casual gamers rather than the hardcore.
|
right, but to state that its for "amateur" players is just wrong. i dont really view myself as an "amateur". the wii may have a lot of casual games, but they don't all suck, like he's implying.
don't forget that the wii has its fair share of core and challenging games....
|
Casual does mean Amateur, but because they don't want to progress their gaming skills. Would you rather I said novice? The Wii may have challenging games...but the amount of those games, do not warrent a purchase from a hardcore gamer. Casuals can get full value out of that system.
|
look, no matter what anyone says, ALL GAMES use progression of skills. what hardcore gamers have that casuals dont is the understanding of most games in general; they can pick up just about any game and play it because theyve played many many games before and developed the "sense". casual games are ones that only require common sense. the wii only amplifies this, because of its intuitive controls. hardcore gamers tend to hate casual gamers because they didnt have to work hard for their fun. which makes sense.... sort of.

You just admitted that the Wii is a start up system, without actually saying it. Most people who buy Wii's are not going to upgrade. You also hit the nail on the head for while most hardcore gamers cannot tolerate casual games. Hardcore gamers are a minority, but their voice still holds a lot of weight.

Twist words all you want if it makes you feel any better, but you and I both know he said no such thing.
By which I mean, the Wii is just more accessible than the 360 and PS3 to people who haven't played games before. Doesn't make it a startup system. Just makes it more accessible.

The Wii is accessible to people who don't give a damn to learn how to play a controller with sixteen to eighteen buttons. There is nothing wrong with that. Nintendo hit the mother load aiming for the non-gamers. I never twisted words...he just let the truth come out, while trying to defend the Wii. The system was made for casual gamers. Where have you seen a Wii commercial where the Japanese saleman come over to your house and introduces a hardcore game to non-gamers? Never. Stop trying to defend it. This is a system where hardcore gamers came second. Nintendo put hardcore gamers on the back burner. Who cares though?...they are in the lead man. It is the best system for family and party gaming though. Other than that...I myself have no use for it. I am pleased to hear that Nintendo got a new Metroid game though.
