"@Paul_Warren Note that: Mario Kart Wii is not available on PS360"

I wouldn't buy it if it was. It only has a Metacritic score of 82 and is in no way comparable quality-wise to either Motorstorm: Pacific Rift or Gran Turismo 5.

My most anticipated games:  Whatever Hideo Kojima is going to do next, Final Fantasy XIII, Final Fantasy Versus XIII, Gran Turismo 5, Alan Wake, Wii Sports Resort.  Cave Story Wiiware.

Nintendo domination? When did Nintendo ever dominate anyhing?

 

 Looked at the game industry lately?

I think you need to take of those fanboyglasses and you will se that in reality Nintendo has done jackshit since they sold ordinary playing cards (you know the ones used to play poker amongst other things).

I don’t usually bother to respond to nonsense but that statement is so incredibly absurd I couldn’t let it pass.

Go to our very own games section, set it for all platforms and then click the sales column to find the ten highest selling video games in history. Think they’re all PS2 since it was so fabulously successful? Not quite, the PS2 version of GTA San Andreas did manage to squeak in at #10. Positions 1-9 are all Nintendo games and those nine games alone sold over 240 MILLION copies.

Now let’s talk about this generation all time leading games. Both the Wii and the DS have games in the top ten. The Wii’s highest selling non-bundled game comes in at #18. The Xbox 360 shows up at #38 and the PS3’s highest seller doesn’t show up until #120.

Yea, I think they’ve done OK since the playing cards.

 

 

I think hes making a joke/winding people up and you took the bait.  

Because hes got 165 Nintendo games in his profile and the only other system is the Xbox1.

 

 



Tease.

"You still haven´t answered my question or you avoided it, What should a game with the same playability graphics and funfactor but without the glitches and problems get as score if this is worth perfect scores?"

A 10. 10s don't mean perfect they mean Masterful. But it wouldn't come down to just graphics, funfactor, playability. They would also have to equal Rockstar's eye for satire. And as far as that goes, they're the best in a popular medium since William Burroughs...or at least just as good as Trey Parker.

No. I'm just stating the facts, and the review system is not broken. GTA IV is better than all of the titles listed for Wii, 360, and PS3 that have lower Metacritic scores than it does with the possible exception of MGS4.

"It’s difficult to fathom how a virtual world of this magnitude comes together, let alone is made to function with all of the realism that today’s technology affords. GTA IV is to the current state of gaming what GTA III was back in 2001, only now, thanks to the advent of gaming as a fixture in American entertainment, more people than ever will get the opportunity to look beyond any residual controversy and enjoy the true spectacle of modern gaming at its finest."
--from Dave Halverson's Play Magazine review of Grand Theft Auto IV.

"I admit that I have a bias, but I also like to think my appreciation of Kojima’s work puts me in a position to make a few blanket statements: MGS4 is the best game in the series, the best game Kojima has ever made, and also the best game yet to be released on “next-gen” platforms."
--from Nick Des Barres Play Magazine review of Metal Geat Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots.

Note: Neither Grand Theft Auto IV or Metal Gear Solid 4 are available on the Nintendo Wii.



"I loved Gta and still do it´s a great game and one of the best this year but of you seriously think it desevs any of thoose scores with glitches and problems it has you are seriously deep in fanboymode and in need to be rescued, I hope someone around you can help you with that if not may you rest in peace my friend."

What's your point, neither of those games have been able to put a dent in the wii's sales. If the best two games of this generation can't change anything, why do you think any others will?

I actually have PS 1& 2 games too but haven´tfelt like going trough them all, we are three brothers that share our gaming library so there are alot of games to add and I will someday when i feel like it. The only console I don´t have yet is the PS3 but it´s coming eventually can´t be without MGS and FF, no real gamer can :).

I was being sarcastic and I was joking around but I didn´t try to wind people up, if I did this then please accept my appology.

A score should reflect all aspects of a game and if it has problems that should also reflect in the total scores wich it doesn´t with GTA but it was nice to see how you justify your preferences getting high scores. You are truly a well balanced person with balanced opinions and no biases at all.

Well, did you play it? How are you aware of its "quality" if you've never played it?

A 90+ Metacritic rated game could be 5 hours long. Would that length alter your perception of quality?

MGS 4 put the PS3 ahead of the Wii worldwide for one week. If GTA IV had been a console exclusive it could have done even more so. When a time comes that the 360 and PS3 have a steady flow of MGS 4 and GTA IV quality games all coming at the same time, then that will have an effect upon worldwide sales especially if the only things Nintendo has to combat it is pablum like Animal Crossing and Wii Music. Most videogame console sales are generated when someone goes over to a friend's house or a store, etc, and they see something that totally blows them away. The PS3 and 360 have much greater potential to be able to deliver these games than does the Wii. If you had GTA IV coming out exclusively for the PS3 or 360 in April followed by MGS 4 in early June then Final Fantasy XIII in August (As in The PS2's holiday 01 season when you had GTA III, MGS 4, Devil May Cry, Final Fantasy X, and Jak and Daxter all AAA titles hitting within a few weeks of each other), that would have a much greater effect than MGS 4 coming out in June followed by waiting for Little Big Planet to come out in October.

The next AAA titles for the Wii aren't scheduled to be released until the Spring of '09 which could give several of the big HD titles momentum during the holiday season.

Man if PS360 games would be so much more fun (because that is the most important point of gaming) and would be so much superior. They wouldnt be outsold by the wii so badly? I played 360 and PS3 so many times (so did other Wii owners) and PS360 still does not have enough to convince me.

Wii has enough quality games to sell well , in adition hits like MkWii (that game sales like crazy, possible best seller this generation? ), Wii Sports , Wii Fit will keep it well ahead competitors in both software and hardware sales.

Ratings only mean anything to the cornered animal that is the "snobcore gamer".
