Forums - Gaming - Nintendo renders Sony’s progress irrelevant

I don't know about thanking any of these companies... They have seriously wasted much of my precious time; and so, I don't see your point on how they have revolutionized the entertainment industry introducing games for adults.

I always thought they were just making games for the generation of kids that grew up playing them. Out of exception of the Wii which got attention from seniors/older people, it's very hard for me to believe that they pushed for these changes. There was just a demand because the kids that loved playing video games eventually grew up and now wanted to play mature content.

However, I don't think the Wii is making grandpa and grandma look into what new games are coming up for the console. They bought it because of the clever marketing; In my opinion they just play with their grandchildren or children so they may have something in common.

According to who?

I agree. Wii sports is so boring after a few rounds. It doesn't hold my interest like Fallout or oblivion does.

Yep but obviously you're not mature, I mean no adult would ever play Wii Fit or Brain Training

the last sentence totally gives it away, i didn't look at where the "article" was from until after i read it, by then i had already prepared my response to the fail article... then i read the last sentence and i was like: "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH, now it makes sense" :p

im starting to really like that site, they almost got ME into beleiving it was a serious article this time ( i usually figure these types of threads out right away)



What a disgusting and immature viewpoint the TC has, both in the idea that games "need" "deep" storylines to "progress," and the not-so-subtle implications that the storylines of games not rated M are not "deep." As if "violence and sex" were "mature" topics for games, when the overwhelming majority of games that deal with these topics do so in the least mature possible way, and that of those few games that do deal with them in mature ways, most are not rated M. The only example I can even think of with an M-rated series that actually deals with this content maturely is Drakengard, a series I doubt the TC has even played, and which he would probably faint if he knew even half of what it contained.

This is just another adolescent fratcore craving content he clearly cannot handle -as evidenced by craving things that mature people find repulsive- just for the sake of the hormonal rush. I hope his parents get him professional help before allowing him near a console again: he evidently needs it.



Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

What do I hate about modern gaming? I hate tedium replacing challenge, complexity replacing depth, and domination replacing entertainment. I hate the outsourcing of mechanics to physics textbooks, art direction to photocopiers, and story to cheap Hollywood screenwriters. I hate the confusion of obsession with dedication, style with substance, new with gimmicky, old with obsolete, new with evolutionary, and old with time-tested.
There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.

Whoever made this article must have been really really bored.
