 you are already deemed this game as 'unpolished'?

 and since we are on CM, the game is far from just 'unpolished', it didn't get 66 for having only 1 flaws. I shall save my time here and not name the next 9 reason why CM is only a 'passable' game.

and oh, you are giving way too much credit to Namco. If this game is made by Nintendo, then it's a different story, you'd expect Wiiplay quality at least.

for some reason, we started off all saying this game will be bad, and then got into some argument.

i think since blaydcor has some background in cheerleading, he is quick to come to defend his sport. we've seen similar behavior repeatedly in wiifit, or brain age as well.

well, maybe time to hold off our opinions for now. there's precious little information anyway. maybe it'll be like boom blox, where the idea is simple but the implementation seems very well thought out and actually looks nothing like jenga.

 DBZ is Atari actually and not a bad game, but fair enough, Namco, especially their American office, make a lot of mediocore to totally crap games.  So in all likelyhood this game will suck.  Very well, continue bashing away. 

I am not saying that you have to like Half Life 2 and Doom 3, or neither. If you think that's an appropriate analogy, then it's apparent that you don't understand what I'm saying. Here would be a better analogy. Imagine these two blurbs:

Wardogs -- A gritty, dark action game coming in 2009

Cutie Kittens -- An adorable, colorful action game coming in 2009

If, based on this, you concluded that the first game sounded good and would be well made, while the second game would terrible and a cheap cash in, then that is prejudice, yes.

If we had screens or detailed information or anything about this Cheerleading game that would divulge its quality or even give a hint at what the game even does, this would be different. Instead, what we have for it is very much like what I've written above; a vague description of the game.

Let me give you the definition of prejudice:

Any preconceived opinion or feeling, either favorable or unfavorable.

So far, the entirety of our knowledge about the game is that it's about cheerleading and that it's on the Wii. From this, you assume this game is a cash in that manipulates the naive (your words in italics). I have no idea how you could argue that isn't prejudice, because it seems to fit the description perfectly.

Again, the basic idea sounds like it could be fun to me. It sounds like Ouendan, and while I don't personally care for Ouendan, I recognize that it's a very well made game. So this could be good, it could be bad -- but I won't hold any preconceived opinions or feelings. I'll just wait and see how the game actually ends up.

>Wardogs -- A gritty, dark action game coming in 2009

>Cutie Kittens -- An adorable, colorful action game coming in 2009

no, both game sounds like shovelwares because their names are apparently from some cheap hotel six brainstorming session. You don't name a good game "Zack and Wiki" unless you have no choice to because your original name is under trademark.

and are you talking about prejudice? in entertainment business? lol, sorry, I just had to laugh a little inside.

Let's face it, game, just any type of art, is meant to be judged, if you don't want people thinking your game is garbage, don't release infos that might lead people into thinking that. This game should keep quiet for as long as possible, and then rid the wave of Wiifit out before reviewers can trash it.

 After all, have you heard of "Chicken SHoot" or "Ninjabread man" BEFORE the official release?

Did you just accuse Bod of being a fanboy? You would get destroyed in a real debate with him so better sideswipe him while you can!

Probably, considering that both games existed years before their Wii release.

>Did you just accuse Bod of being a fanboy? You would get destroyed in a real debate with him so better sideswipe him while you can!

if I were to pick a debate, it wouldn't be for the sake of winning it, it's about what you believe in and stand by it.

and no, I don't remember accusing anybody of being a fanboy. After all, it's not something I do.

Mostly likely it will be a game that isn't polished to the Nth degree (N as in Nintendo), but Namco will be happier than a lot of people here if it becomes the best selling game that they have put out for this generation of games.  

Though it could be made into a fairly good game of imitating cheerleading.  Probably arms spelling out of letters via placement of the Wii Remote (would be interesting if it used two Wii Remotes), stepping on and off the balance board  (final cheer, a jump of both legs off?). 

Besides, the video cheerleaders might be cute enough for some guys to buy the game.  

And to those the game is marketed to sell to, I doubt if a high percentage of them go out to game sites to check its ratings. 

Alright, here's my final argument.

You hear about a new game:

A FPS made by Namco for the Xbox 360. It's going to be set in World War 2. It will be coming out later this year.

Now, what would you assume about this game?

Exactly.

It *might* be good, but history would indicate otherwise, so you'll assume it will be lame until proven wrong. Same situation here.
