You just completely tried to avoid arguing with all this text. If you are calling someone envious of this game it is because you identified things in this game to make those people envious. You can't call on someone as being envious and then pretend you don't know why they are envious.

Envious of what? What makes them envious? Why should they be envious?

No, go back and read it again. I'm not saying anything about what people are envious about. I am pointing out typical responses that most likely is grounded in some sort of envy. Doesn't have to be related to this game at all, it's more likely grounded in some sort of wish for the Wii U to be no more powerful, or just barely more powerful than PS3 or Xbox 360. That type of wishes is the very definition of envy.

Obviously, there's no way for me to know what this envy is based on. Most of the people I am grouping with this type of argument aren't conciouis of their envy themselves. Why would I invest any time or effort into trying to find out? As for why they should be envious, I don't think they should be. I don't think envy in general is something toy strive for, at least not malicious envy as we see on display in this thread and all over VGChartz all the time.


Of course you are not saying why the are envious. That is why I ask you to step forward and say why you call them like that. You call them envious and then refuse to say why they are envious.

So by conclusion, since I can arbitrarily call anyone envious without identifying any reason to regard them as such, I will call you right now, right here, as being envious. You are being envious.

It would be a great benefit to this exchange if you would understand what we are talking about. I have explained twice what indicates their envy, and also twice that the exact reason why they are envious is probaly not consciously known to themselves. I am startign to think that you don't know what envy means, or that you are stuck in some thought pattern where you can't say someone is envious without pointing out the exact pixel location in a screenshot that someone is wishing wasn't there.

What I am doing is pointing out that the type of arguments you see many people resort to very often are based in envy, not trying to guess what people are envious about. It is likely something different for most of them, but given the nature of this website I wouldn't be surprised if some feel that the Wii outselling whatever console they prefer was uncomfortable/embarrasing/incomprehendible/irritating and that they wish for the Wii U to not repeat that cycle. That said, I don't care what it is, and I don't think anyone will admit or even recognize their envy, so it's really not very interesting to go into.



It's good to see a game use some of the Wii U's power, even if it's 4 months late!

Prediction: Switch 2 will outsell the PS5 by 2030

It only looks marginally better.

Said the majority of people who saw the Battlefield 4 video.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

If there's anything I learned from that other thread, it's that Most Wanted on PS3 and 360 maxed out those consoles, and a single game being superior on Wii U means it is indisputably more powerful than them.

Man, everyone sure is really quiet when there's anything positive for Nintendo on the table!

Your lifespan must be pretty short if ages ago is 4 months apart :P.



Someone should show this to Shinn.

Yay first retail game that is undoubtedly better on WiiU in both performance and graphics.


TBH, I'm not sure it really matters, I paid full price on eShop to support Criterion for their efforts but it's not like consoles can compete with PCs anyways lol..... All the people whoring about console graphics should just save some money and get a new PC in a year or 2 if they really care about graphics "THAT" much.

Seriously, this kind of argument always going back to PC graphics (out of no where like you do all the time) should be bannable... It got old during last gen, if not before that.

It's only a problem if the people typing things like these are not actually PC gamers and are just trolling to down play or spite on another platform. I actually have this game on Wii U, I have a youtube video I linked in one of the discussions when some people were arguing that the Wii U version is inferior while it's clearly not. This is a honest and true opinion coming from me, so you can either take it for what it is, or complain and get no results since I'm not trolling in any way at all.

I play on all consoles myself. And I can say there are good graphics on every single one of the currently available consoles (yes, including the original Wii. SMG is still one of the most beautiful platforming game I've ever seen. Although, don't sit too close to the screen if you care so much about jaggies -__-). People like you who chime in just to mention how consoles aren't the place to be if you want good graphics, mentioning the PC at every corner is one of the most annoying thing in these forums. Even to a PC gamer, as I am, it's unnecessary and adds nothing to the discussions. If people want to compare console graphics, because they think it's interesting to do so, why do you even care? People are always comparing consoles together, because they're part of what we call console generations. PC isn't a part of that concept, since it's constently evolving and making steps in power every few months...

Anyways, good graphics can be found on consoles just the same as PCs. Technically, the PC always have the edge when it comes to hardware. No shit, Sherlock. But at the same time, to many people, the very fact the the consoles are closed boxed with fixed components makes it all the more interesting to see how game studios manage to master developing on those "gimped" architectures. Managing to create better visuals, new graphics techniques  over the course of the console's lifespan to keep on surprising us. When people say things like "I didn't think it was possible to achieve that on that console", you know something's great. Again, good graphics aren't exclusive to PC, and this argument should die already.

No one is saying PCs are inferior to consoles.
