That's why the Xplay review matters. Nobody who never heard of the game is gonna be looking up reviews for it. Casuals, watching Xplay, might see the game, see it got a perfect score, and be like, "Woot, I gotta get that."

 

Understand?


Why would casuals who by definition are not video game afficionados be devoting time to watching shows about video games?

No, your continued opposition for the Wii, your pessimistic(or optimistic for you) Wii numbers prediction, and your FFVII tech demo remake avatar does that for you.

 

Who do you think your fooling? 



I don't need your console war.

You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

Is this a joke account?

It is good that Xplay gave NMH a good score.
I doubt many casual gamers get their reviews from there (or anywhere) as it is on digital even on COMCAST systems (and it is owned by Comcast which moved all of their properities off of digitial and started moving others' networks onto the higher tiers).

Also, I am a bit dismayed by the new format -- fewer reviews and far less subversive. Too many easy interviews last week.

I will say that Sess does seem to know his stuff. I think he is the "last man standing" from Tech TV (Extended Play -- Now X Play).

PS -- I am probably considered a casual gamer and my wife considers me a heavy game buyer (only one Wii game a week). I use reviers to find out about a game more than to judge it ... and I imagine many others do the same.

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.

Just cuz I like FF doesn't mean I hate Wii. My Year end predictions for the Wii is not because I hate the wii, but because I'm being realistic. I don't oppose the Wii, I oppose the Wii fanboys. Big difference.



If you buy 1 game a week that is hardcore IMO

 

EDIT acually scratch that..my older bro buys so many games and doesnt even open them.. LOL

Oh wow, you really got me on that one!

 

Your logic....heh.

 

Though, this doesn't really need explaining(because you already saw my logic and realized it is correct, who wouldn't), your now just trying to save a little face, but I can't back down now, because you guys are mean. That's right, you fanboys take any sign of backing down as a sign of weakness.

 

Therefore, here we go.

 

My original assertion is simple. The Xplay review will get to more casual gamers than the IGN review, because most casuals have never heard of NMH.

 

You ask, well, casual gamers don't watch G4.

 

Wrong, from your assertion, hardcore gamers(from what you told me, but I disagree) don't watch Xplay.

 

What is certain, is that casual TV watchers, watch G4Tech TV, because of Cops, Ninja Warrior, and even AotS.

 

So, one thing is for certain. Somewhere in America, a casual gamer will see that NMH existed, and got a 5/5, by accidently watching Xplay, or a ticker at the bottom of the screen proclaiming the games score, and decide to buy the game.

 

It is much less likely that a casual gamer will stumble onto IGN and type in the words "No More Heroes" in the search box, to see that review,  and decide not to buy it.

 

That said, in the real world, and not your fantasy land, millions of semi-casual gamers do depend on Xplay for their reviews. Just check the Gamespot or Gamefaqs forums for NMH, and I'm sure you'll find posts proclaiming the 5/5 review.

 

These are just my opinions. Forgive me if I am to assertive with them.
