| Grey Acumen said: I'd love to see someone try to beat metroid prime 3 in half an hour. Ookaze basically summed up all the fallacies perfectly. Developers have an attitude that just isn't survivable with the success of the Wii. The Wii will be successful whether developers adapt to it or not, and if they don't adapt to it, they may make money in the short run with quick cash in games, but they will ruin their reputation and will be even less successful in the future. Developers aren't adapting, and they NEED to adapt. That's the whole point of this thread. I'm saying this as much for the developers as I'm saying it for the Wii. If you're trying to make excuses for the developers and pretend the Wii is just a cheap toy that only has waggle, sorry, but you are wrong. You're only contributing to the problem by encouraging the developers and fooling them into thinking they'll somehow survive by making half-assed games. It's not like you're going to buy any of those half-assed games, so what possible justification for it can you have to support their production of half-assed games? |
The average person outside of people on the internet has little to no idea about who publishes games or the different game developers out their outside of Nintendo, whose Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Wii Sports, Wii Fit, titles are pretty obvious to pick out. I really don't think more than 20% of Wii owners (and probably only 30-40% of PS3/360 owners) pay any attention to who makes their games, let alone let it influence their future purchasing decisions. They go off of game name recognition more than anything.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
