Forums - Nintendo - are there enough wii titles available now to make wii a worthy purchase?

he´s more into action, fps, and rpg games. he is wondering if it is worth for him. he IS kind of interested after he saw red steel 2, but he hated the wii before. so I dont know

FPS: Call of Duty Modern Warfare Reflex, Metroid Prime 3

RPG: Little Kings Story

Not sure what to suggest for Action, as Im unfamiliar with that genre on the Wii. Admittedly I havent played and of those 3 games, but they seem to be quite well reviewed

Let me show you an example:

Which is the better film, Kick Ass or The Last King of Scotland?
Which did you enjoy more?

Now apply this to gaming. Making sense yet?

If I had seen either movie, perhaps I could even begin to understand your obscure analogy.  But all you're doing is making yourself seem more elitist and anyone who doesn't agree with your opinions (or understand your logic flow) is wrong.

Obscure analogy? Other than one of the films is very recent and very popular, and another is oscar winning? Uhuh.....Think you need to pop your head out of the metaphorical basement.
I'll put the example another way. Which is better:
A childs finger painting of his family
            or
The Mona Lisa

Now the kid and his parent are going to enjoy the former more than the latter. Does that make it the better piece of work?

What I'm saying is that look at what makes a game good. Just because someone says it's fun doesn't mean it is good. Golden Eye WAS fun, but compared to all the other FPS' out there, it's jizz. The same has been said about Perfect Dark on XBL, that it's only really meant for nostalgia.

If you like hardcore titles, the wii is certianly not made for you. Out of the hardcore genres, either the 360 or PS3 have the leading titles. The wii is a party machine and offers a much more simplified gaming experience. Something like Murasma is outdone by other slash 'em up games like Bayonetta etc. The latter is far harder, and therefore longer lifespan/more interesting, to anyone who has a back history of playing games, as in a hardcore/seasoned gamer.

Again...it all just comes back to the thing you're not understanding from my first post.  What makes Muramasa equivilant to a 'childs finger painting' just because you think God of War is 'The Mona Lisa'?  Seriously, you're the prime example of why some people don't like Wii games just because there's other games with flashier graphics and more hype put behind them.

And the hillarous thing is, in 5 years, I can make the same analogy you just made for some new game on the next set of 'HD' systems and you'll think some other game makes God of War 3 look like a 'childs finger painting'.  That's the problem with only looking at games based on hype and graphics.  And this completely vague and totally opinionated term of 'hardcore'.

Also, you need to stop whining about the Wii.  Calling the Wii a 'party machine' and this constant whining about it not being 'hardcore enough' is so 2007.  If you don't like the Wii, don't play one.



Six upcoming games you should look into:

Because Muramasa is piss easy as it's 2D when compared to Bayonetta, that is why. Also the AI is going to be generations behind anything on the 360 etc. Again, that makes the game less of a challenge, and also less intuitive.

Look at it like this: If i've gone and butched DMC 1 - 3 on PS2, mastered them etc, then you dump me infront of God of War 3/Bayonetta etc, then I'm going to have a new challenge as the experience has improved. If you dumped me infront of Murasma, everything has become far easier, and easy = boring for anyone who is a hardcore gamer.

Yeah, you are right. In 5 years God of War 3 will be awful compared to what is on the market because as technology becomes better, gamers expectations increase. I'm looking at games in respect to everything out there on the market - you aren't, you are creating some abstract way of saying something is great without comparing it to other games in the genre.

Hardcore gamer = plays games for entertainment often and doesn't have the mental capacity of a gold fish, and so like's a constantly increasing challenge.
Geek/Nerd = plays games for entertainment often



Depends what your friend wants. Each system this gen is worth a purchase, but it depends on your tastes and what sort of gaming you prefer.

What I would do is have your friend compile a list of Wii games he's interested in that are out now. Once he has that list, he can decide if he wants to pay $200 play those games. That's really all there is to it.

It's like you really don't know that people can value different things in games. Personally, I who hated the God of War/DMC style of play really found Muramasa enjoyable.

More that hardcore and casual gamers enjoy different things. For the hardcore gamer, the wii isn't a justifiable purchase.

Enjoy hating all the games you once loved just because you feel you have to hate something to like something more.  You even admit you'll evnetually dislike God of War 3.  Guess what.  Games from the past aren't bad just because they're old.  And games can be good just because they don't have the pinnacle of 'technology' and 'graphics'.  You think people like Mario 3 or Final Fantasy VII or Pokemon because they have amazing graphics or are on the most recent hardware?  Come on, they like them because they're good games.  And on the same token, people like Muramasa, because it was FUN.  Either you accept it, or continue you're crusade to prove that Muramasa is inferior simply because its on 'inferior hardware'.  Which I can guarantee, is a losing battle, as all the games I just mentioned were also on the 'inferior system' when they released.

And you seem to be overlooking the countless times people have been saying they thought God of War 3 was easy or boring.  Just because YOU thought it was the pinnacle of gaming doesn't mean EVERYONE ELSE thought it was.  I don't know how many times I need to express this to you.  Just because you think something is 'hardcore' doesn't make it so.  And the sad thing is, you're trying to force that opinion so much, you're blind to the multiple people in this thread who already expressed they didn't agree.

Are you saying that I'm a casual player?

I'm a fan of competitive RTS games, I'm more hardcore than any console gamer will ever be. (except for street fighter and Virtua fighter fans)

You clearly aren't thinking.

Take a game like Golden Eye. In what way is it better than Red Faction II? In what way is RF II better than Resistance 2. I don't hate old games, just my expectations have gone up with every generation, as they should do, otherwise what the hell is the point in dishing out for a new console if it's offering exactly the same as it's predecesor? Muramasa is inferior because it's not a challenge, or not nearly as much a challenge as other, more modern offerings.

I never said God of War 3 is the pinnacle of gaming, I just said it offers a more "hardcore" experience to those who may find Muramsa a brreeze and therefore, not entertaining defeating the point of the game - to keep you entertained.

All the people in the thread haven't had a valid reason as to why they dislike God of War in comparison to Muramasa. I found the guy who said he found the cell shaded game with 20 ft Samurai more mature than God of War very ironic.
