all the things ive read about this game make we wanna get it,soon i will

totalwar23 said: Chrizum said: Haha, so you will not play the game -even though it's awesome- just because the game isn't marketed towards you? Well yeah I guess that makes sense. It's not he won't play because it isn't marketed towards him, it's that he hopes it will bomb because it isn't marketed towards him. That makes sense, too, but is an incredibly shallow reason.

 No.It's just that it was a game created with what they perceived to be the "truth" about the Wii and got deservedly pwnd.The "hardcore" are the only ones who can't shut up about the game and it's target audience are happily killing each other with koopa shells.

Interesting to note however, are Peter Moore's recent comments about "casual" gaming.He realized the fallacy and brought it up not too long ago.He then followed it up with his shitty shallow pool analogy.However given the fact that it fits nicely with his previous statement when the new Wii projects were mentioned gives one a lot to hope for since it seems that EA might have finally understood what to do now.

We'll have to wait a little longer to see if it really is what I think it is. 

For the single player mode, how many hours of play does the game have? I know puzzle games usually have much replayability so that it's not easy to estimate it, but I would like to know give or take how long people usually spend time on it until they move on to other game. I am hoping it's not too short.

 EA has certainly made a lot of mistakes with the Wii but that's EA for you. They make a lot of mistakes. However, it is entirely true that the Wii does have a lot of mainstream owners. Does EA have a valid reason to go after them? Yes, and they're are trying, especially when they made Boom Blox, a game that can appeal to everyone, include core gamers. (In fact, I dare say EA has been one of the friendliest publishers to casual gamers even before the Wii ever emerged.) Their other casual projects have done well enough on the Wii and there's no reason as to why they think  the casual audience is a lost cause. Did Boom Blox bombed? Perhaps, time will tell but plenty of games meant for the hard core have bombed, too. It happens, and it doesn't mean they somehow just didn't get it. Publishers making crappy games for the Wii and wondering why it bombed deserve their fate. Publishers making good games on the Wii, regardless of who it appeals, and having it bombed is a tragedy. 

Absolutely love this game my arm hurts from playing for hours- yet I can't stop! A must buy IMO.

 After recent EA statements it seems that they realized that software for all different age groups isn't some recent phenomenon and has existed since the start of the industry.If I'm correct EA finally saw Pro Evo Wii and finally understood that the entrypoint to their titles for the Wii audience was through this.Basically they're going to copy Pro Evo and try to implement similiar controls in their titles.

Boom Blox was just a case where Spielberg was made poster boy to hype the game as they thought that it would convince buyers without realizing that the designers who worked with the director had bias from the start.When taken in that context I feel sorry for Spielberg who was basically set up from the start when making his own game.

Sadly this game will be the last of its kind from them(not design-wise).

While I believe you have made enough of a fool of yourself now, I feel inclined to make it just a tad worse: Spielberg is the creative designer of Boom Blox. You couldn't be further from the truth. Seriously, why bash this game when it's one of the best games availlable on the Wii?

When did I say otherwise.Learn to read and not believe what you want to believe.I even said it was his game but he did receive guidance.They could have given him advice on certain details of the game to make it more in line with their stated demographic but didn't.Live with it.

First I have people labelling me hardcore and now this. I just came in,said I wasn't playing it and why.

The result ended up being attacked by butthurt fanboys who barely know the background for the very game they're defending.

Pathetic.

Pathetic.   Sorry, I misread your post, but appearantly I'm pathetic for doing so. Why don't you go play your hardcore blood and gore games and come back when you get stick out of your ass, or better yet: grow up.

Yes.And my presence in this thread is now over.

IT'S OVER, WE WON!
