I thought Wii was already getting a generic FPS (The Conduit) to please the "hardcore". And now there's gratuitous violence in MadWorld for all you Manhunt fans (as if Manhunt 2 wasn't enough).

psrock: I don't know how much better this is going to make you feel, but you've made excellent progress.

* Denial (Wii can't compete with the HD consoles! Nintendo is a laughing stock!)
* Anger (Why do all these idiots keep buying the Wii!?!)
* Bargaining (Wii is competing in a different market! We can all live happily together!)
* Depression (Nintendo has ruined gaming! I blame WiiFit! I don't care anymore!)
* Acceptance (Where can I buy a Wii?)

You might have spent quite a while in denial, but blazed through anger and bargaining almost instantaneously, and are handling depression in a very constructive manner. The last part is no easier than the earlier ones, but you'll be in the clear after this.

I just wanted to know that we're here for you.

I think that was the point, from what i've heard.

With the new Mario Kart, it doesn't matter whether your 'skillfull' or not, 'cos the entire game has been dumbed down.

You're also punished for being too good. Winning is almost a matter of chance now.

You didn't get Rol's point. He is skilled, and he almost always wins. This proves that skill is the biggest factor in the game, unlike what the non-skilled folks say (including many reviewers). Just ask the people who play every week in the VGChartz championships. If you still doubt it, you can of course play Rol or another 9000+ (or even 8000+) ranked player, and then you'll see.

Personally speaking, my rank is around 6500, and I can already see why skill is the biggest factor in this game. When you first start playing, it can often seem that it's too random, but that's just because you haven't gotten used to the game yet.

 Rol (apparently, i haven't had the pleasure yet) beats everyone he verses, it can't be luck.. thats the point he was making.. how can he always beat you if its completely based on luck?

I don't know, you may have a point. I'm just going by what i've heard in numerous reviews.

I didn't say it was completely based on luck, just moreso than the previous games. But again, I haven't played it myself, this is just what i've heard.

Well, you did say "Winning is almost a matter of chance now."

The problem is that numerous reviews of this game had blatant mistakes in them. Next time, I suggest playing the game, or at least talking to people who have played it instead of listening to crappy game reviewers.

You're being a bit too sensitive.

There's a difference between "Winning is almost a matter of chance now" and "Winning is completely based on luck"

Bold: They may have exaggerated a bit, but i'm sure they weren't lying.

I'm just calling it as I see it. Let's see another quote of yours: "With the new Mario Kart, it doesn't matter whether your 'skillfull' or not,"

That is the same as saying that "winning is completely based on luck", so there goes your difference. Of course, this is all moot because as you said, you haven't even played the game.
