what a Fanboy threat

I promise I won't.  I figure the Japanese companies are hard at work with a jrpg to show off at TGS so I can fill out my Wii library.

the conduit is a first day purchase for me!

1) Nobody says the game is better than it is. We are just saying it is much more than what we are offered. Unlike thee other consoles, third party developers are NOT lining up to create games for Wii. Why is that? Main reason given is they do not believe the games will sell. That alone makes me want to buy this game. Rebellion. And you cannot say anything about how well a feature would be used if it came out on release day. Online has been there since the beginning but look at the multiplatform games that DO NOT use it only with Wii. There is no showing success for WiiSpeak and the fact that this game is giving those, "core" games all they want, why would they not be hyped to buy it? GTA IV was not exactly special, but hey, hype gets you places. Nobody should complain about hype or wanting to buy a game blindly because we have all done those things. Even you!

2) I cannot believe you are taking something away from the game for having good marketing. Zack and Wiki could have used this kind of marketing. Sure I bought it, and a few others as well, but hey, it did not get hyped at all and that is because NOBODY really spoke about it. THAT IS A TRAVESTY! To say, hey, one game will get hype without the marketing while thee other has a benefit of marketing, is stupid, lazy, and crazy. Both games are getting hype because they are both shaping up to be awesome games. Although, MadWorld recently lost points with me, I can see why people are excited by the game.

3) To compare MadWorld, a unique game to a FPS is a little loose and takes from your integrity. In your case, I could say, Call of Duty 4 would not be as welcome as MadWorld would be on any console. That does not make Call of Duty 4 a bad game does it? Well, not at all; rather, it makes it a great game in a crowded medium. How can a FPS be unique in this day? MadWorld has yet to show off the story that makes it, "unique." What it has shown is a game that looks like it is influenced by a certain Rockstar game and Sin City. Not that this is a bad thing. That is all that can be said about that.

4) Your last paragraph is foolish. Why not try to convince people to buy BOTH games? Because then you would have nothing to argue about? Lose, fail, ect.

I'll buy The Conduit if it turns out to be a good game. If not, I'll just play Bioshock again.

I'd rather see people hype fragile than the conduit tbh.

im definitely buying it along with wiispeak. its gonna be awesome.

The kiddy Wii games have to match the lower eye levels of the potential customers. Plus you can't let these toddlers reach a copy of GTA4 by mistake; they might go on a permanent temper tantrum. 

That being said, the Conduit will likely be a first day purchase for me.  Hope this is a good game, and hope it outsells Halo3.

Nah. There's about a zillion better shooters coming out in the next few months.

I'll definately rent it though. It looks like a huge step up from that MOH game everyone raves about, which to be honest, was absolute shit.

I'm glad they're using WiiSpeak too. Now if they can find a way around the friend codes...

Even if it is a very very average game I would still buy it just to reward them for the effort they have put into the game. And I haven't even been that much of a FPS fan since Perfect Dark on N64 (the greatest FPS ever).
