| finalsquall said: Thanks Entroper and Redspear.. You got me :( How sad am I to enjoy one console and despise the other. The fact is GGE claims by her Name Tag that she is Elite Girl player. Elite Girl players are playing the so called "Big Boy games" like the ones I have stated, or even Gears, H3 and other games that usually appeal to hardcore gamers. You look at any elite player that plays or even gets paid professionally - they are playing games that require skill, requires ability and they are not on the Wii. As for my Sony devotion. I'm talking about fans who are fans because of the games and the console. So many people on this site, enjoy the Wii because either it's winning, everyone likes it or they are new to consoles. Now if Sony loses, I'm staying Sony and I think more Sony fans here would still prefer Sony. Where as I have a hard time thinking people will remain a Nintendo fan if they lose. This site is the only site that people argue about the Wii. Other sites, the Wii doesn't even get a mention. It's 360 vs PS3. Why does this site have alot of Wii fans... because the Wii is winning. It's like the Wii is the greatest piece of hardware out. Sif!!! P.S. Entroper... I love your put downs; they are done in a nice way... It really brought a tear ... of laughter. Please Try harder. Maybe that is the Wii way of put downs. It's so nice and cuddly. Just like your Mii... I so love cutesy games. Meh !!! |
Which games require skill exactly? I can't remember a game that has actually required effort in teh past 10 or so years. They practically all hold your hand.
I would say Rock Band and guitar hero are more difficult than the MGSs and Ninja Gaidens they put out today. It requires a better sense of timing. Well maybe you mean strategy well that is pretty much any game. Don't even try to say the Final Fantasy series is hard, the only hard part is making sure you go to the right places and amaybe a little grind.
Many WoW people consider their game hardcore. They certainly play more than you or I but that game is like a casual version of EQ1 which was hard not because it required skill but just because it was about coordination and luck and tons of grinding for little gain....not really a hard game and neither WoW nor EQ require skill more so than just strategy.
Your definition of "Big Boy Games" is easily translated to "Super Hyped Games". BTW I love the games too, but this doesn't tie me to a console in particular. When I was playing "Shadow of the Colossos" I liked the game but probably would of prefered to play it on the XBOX because it was straining the PS2 graphics.
Quick note "Big Boy" is a term only really used by a few groups of people. Neither of them woudl I consider hardcore gamers.
