Once your on the site long enough, you'll know all the arguments and counter arguments. It's more of a chess game. I know what both sides of this argument are going to post before the argument starts. The resolution is a slip up that often keeps the argument going.

no problem. I just woke up, still a bit tired and forgot about the resolution....

 

He shouldn't go on the way he does (LOL). Getting angry like that I mean, heh. For someone pre-law I would've thought he would've had a better argument. Then again...the control scheme he showed was creative yet still pretty funny.

OK.

I only read the first twenty or so posts, but EPIC is right.

What evidence is there that anyone on the Wii would buy one of their games in anything like the quantity Xbox 360, PC and to a lesser extent PS3 owners would?

This is the closest example (and best selling example) i can think of that is anything like an Epic game.  It is a HIGHLY established series which quite frankly bombed next to expectations.



starcraft - Playing Games = FUN, Talking about Games = SERIOUS

Well to be fair, Mad World, a violent game like their own, has been called to be banned by the UK's watchdog, as it "spoils the family friendly reputation of the wii"

The fact that I'm getting ready for law school is the only reason why I notice that stuff like that and why everything I post in an argument is cited (or can be).

I play the Nintendo fan, because I own a Wii right now... but I don't really care.

 

If you look deep enough into my ppost history you'll see me on all sides of the argument.  Just like a lawyer.

 

My favorite one is why the Xbox has better graphics than the Wii.  It basically boiled down to this.

Paraphrased:

What the hardware is capable of is irrelevant, if very little of the content shows those capabilities.



I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.

I don't wanna turn this into another graphics debate... but Zenfolder, your screens don't look anywhere near as good as Barozi's and the last one is fake....

Put some effort into it at least.

@ starcraft

Your link doesn't work, but I'm assuming you're talking about Corruption, which is on it's way to becoming the second best selling game in the series. Far from a bomb.

who else feels this reminds me the ubisoft boycot....and once again i support this desicion.

Question. If there was a petition to stop support of the Wii from 3rd party developers, would you sign it?

Objection!!!

Zenfoldor: Withdrawn, your honor.

No i wouldn't. If there is lesser titles released on the wii know that the money for them is getting pumped into games i will actually play cause some casual gamer will buy the shovelware. I also know that competition makes for a better product. The main reason i don't like ports for wii though is the fact that you have to make a watered down version of a game. That time could have been used on the main platform.

Ah yes, you hate the Wii, I get it. Good for you.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

What a bunch of assholes, that's my opinion.


A bunch of assholes who know what they are doing most likely. If you look at the games that are selling on the Wii, Epic games really do not fit in the pattern. This gen we have a strong division.

"Yeah well...that's just like...your opinion, man."

Anyway, spell my name right, get glasses, and follow me.

If you think that conduit screen doesn't look better than Black, you crazy.

Also, Galaxy and Prime 3 run at 60fps 480p.

As for MP3, I remember that part in the game. Are you sure it's fake?

 

Replace it with that one.

Also, if you wanna play like the Wii has worse graphics than the regular Xbox, then I got a screen shot for yah:

Anyway, case you're wondering:

"Yeah well...that's just like...your opinion, man."

It's from Labowski.

I'll never forget this Okey. Never!

"Asshole" doesn't denote lack of intelligence or ignorance. It denotes lack of manners and/or respect. In this case it is lack of respect for about 30 million people worldwide.

Just because a bunch of a-holes know what they're doing, doesn't excuse poor manners, lack of respect, and general rude behavior on the part of the main, speaker a-hole, who's supposed to be giving a PR interview.

I very much respect Gears. However, I dislike seeing a group of people get insulted by anyone.

I'm still buying Gears.

I wonder if the PS3 fanboys would have the same reaction if an Epic had said something like that about the PS3. Oh wait. Cliffy roasted MGS4 AND Resistance 2. You guys had a temper tantrum and said you hated the entire company.

That turned around fast when it was assumed the next game after Gears would hit the PS3 as well. I wonder if you would still love them tomorrow, if they announced it as a 360 exclusive.

I wonder if PC fans love them when Cliffy claims the PC lost its edge.

I wonder if Wii fans love them when they call us crap.

I wonder if MGS fans love them when they tell us MGS4 isn't the direction that they want their games to go in.

I wonder if Resistance 2 fans will love them when they tell them that Resistance 2 sucks compared to Gears 2.

I'm a 360 fan, and I don't even like them. Any of them. Good games, bad people. End of story.
