You actually believe he played all the games or any of them for that matter?

Why not? What makes you think he didn't? When someone dosen't like games on the Wii, and says it on here, he has to be wrong? My god, you people have some serious issues to deal with. I'm done here, you people can't even have a conversation here without screaming "WRONG! Your wrong!"

 


hahahahaha whatever dude

Okay then!

 

Super Mario Galaxy - sure is a great game.

 

MK Wii - I really like playing it with the wheel, feels great. Also, online is fun 'though it's pretty basic. But for what it is, it's almost flawless. But they butchered battle mode what automatically takes it down to at least 7/10 .

 

Super Smash Bros. Brawl - woah woah.. okay. No depth in Smash? I give you that the online mode is a pile of crap, but brawl is one of my favourite fighting games ever. (together with melee, Tekken 3 and Dead or Alive 3). If you have friends to play with locally, you got hours and months of fun lying right there. What I love about it is that you can't win through simple button mashing like in most fighters. The different attacks all have their moments. You should consider watching a tournament. Or, alternatively, brawl me :P

 

Zelda TP - Although I'm a huge Ocarina of Time-Fan, I didn't play TP yet. Doesn't look revolutionary enough for me.

 

Zack & Wiki - nah.. busy playing Sam & Max Season 1

 

Metroid Prime 3 - great FPA in my opinion, but a little confusing. I got stuck a while ago and stopped playing :S . But the sense of exploration is great, just like the controls. Nice art style, but technically not totally convincing.

 

Regarding graphics - I don't think the Wii graphics are shit. Even though I'm mostly a PC Gamer ( and I've got a good gaming rig ;P ), some games like Super Mario Galaxy manage it to step beyond 'this looks okay' and really blow my mind with very nice art style, atmospheric graphics and good technology. I dare to say that I enjoyed SMGs graphics more than those of some newer PC games.

 

 

 



I kinda understand your feelings OP. The first time I played GT5P I was expecting a so-called "next-gen" experience. But all I got was GT4 with prettier graphics.

Thanks for sharing your opinions.



LoLz, Good Job! =))
The OPINION, which has right to exist, which will piss MANY nintendo fans. =))

First, he need to share his favourite games list with counterparts, so they can say what's wrong. I've actually asked OP to do this few posts above, still waiting...

//Personally, I think he's just flaming unless he proves otherwise. That's how trolling made. Go to Sony Forum and say "Resistance is one of the shittiest games I've ever played", go to X360 Forum and say "Gears of War... I was bored in half an hour playing this". That's actually what I think (no offence to corresponding platforms though), but... I don't want to start flaming when I post my thoughts about games so many people loves. I'm interested in constructive conversation, doubt such threads will generate a lot of constructive posts, furthermore personal tastes even don't deserve to be discussed imo.

Public opinion so far in this thread. It looks like the OP is wrong. You have made a bad mistake to make a thread like this in a Nintendo forum.

I guess he must've thought this forum was called "Nintendo Discussion" not "Blind Nintendo Worship". It's an easy mistake to make.

 

I was about to say the same thing. The Wii defense force is out and their showing their true colors. God forbid someone plays the games on the Wii and hates them. That just can't be possible. Everybody loves the Wii! It's the greatest system ever made!

Oh please. There are much better ways to express disappointment than the way the OP did. Even the thread title sounds like flamebait. If you don't want defensive replies, don't start with offensive comments.

Metroid Prime 3: FPS games are probably my favourite genre and this game did nothing for me. I'd put it on the level of games like Timeshift; 4/10

 

As was mentioned, MP3 isn't even a FPS. It has some FPS elements, but that is not the point of the game.  MOH2 and COD-WAW are the only two FPS games on the Wii worth considering for that genre.

 

How far did you get in the game (MP3)?  Based on the number of games you listed, I doubt that you completed them all...  Although I suppose it's possible if that's all you did for a week...

 

They are not all the best games the Wii has to offer.  There is also Resident Evil 4 and Okami (if you haven't played previous versions, they are great!).  You should also get No More Heroes.

How were his comments offensive? Do you view the Wii like a member of your family or something? I can understand you being offended if you had a role in designing the Wii or any of the games he didn't like but otherwise feeling offended seems a little odd.

Seriously, I'm genuinely interested how you were offended by the OP. Does people not liking what you like offend you?

How would you have phrased his disappointment differently?

 



Hmm, this probably sounds stupid, but I'm afraid that you just don't get it. The Nintendo games you mentioned are special - if they're not your taste, there's little that could be said to convince you.

SMG: How is this NOT a genre-defining game of the decade? I couldn't stop smiling when I played it, I've never seen so many different creative ideas in a game before. Took my time, and I had about a month of pure fun with it (wonder how you managed to finish this, Zelda, Metroid, Zack&Wiki, ... in about 10 days, btw. It's not possible).

ZeldaTP: I couldn't be bothered to play one of all the generic medieval fantasy games. Yet when a new Zelda game is announced, I'm counting the days. There's no other series like it, the atmosphere, game design, the mixture of old and new... Yes, I'm a Zelda player since 1987. If you don't get it, don't play it. But don't try to tell me that it's inferior to the standard OrkDwarfWizardRuneScrollsGoddessPriestSwordSpell formula games that litter the market.

Metroid Prime Corruption: Dunno, didn't enjoy it. I don't like the first person perspective, don't like shooters, don't like scanning lonely planets. But I guess it's good anyway, just not my taste.

Zack&Wiki: It's not as good as some people say. The levels and puzzles are great, but I felt that the motion controls were unnecessary. Plus, some of the most simple motions were explained over and over, while others that hardly ever worked didn't come with an explanation. All in all, it's nowhere near as good as Monkey Island I & II- but then again, nothing is.

Mario Kart: Another game you love or you don't. I've played various Need for Speed or GT games and some other racers, some were pretty good. But Mario Kart is addictive, it looks easy and shallow ar first, but once you and your opponents are good, the gameplay gets really deep and nuanced. I wish Nintendo would release some more new tracks, though.

Smash Bros: Couldn't get into the predecessor, so I skipped this one. Same as Metroid: Not my taste.

 

All in all, your post seems trollish to me. You cannot have played all the games you claim to have played in 10 days, at least not thoroughly. Mario Galaxy and Zelda:TP are games you should spend a month on - each. So either you're lying, or you didn't really give the games a chance, because you wanted them to suck. I, as a fan, enjoyed these games, and millions of people did. Why do you try to convince us that we're NOT having fun?

How depressingly true This site does seem to be filling up with idiotic fanboys of all descriptions. The old ones were funny but the recent additions seem to be unpleasant people.

Note to fanboys: If someone says something that differs from your view of the world they are not necessarily lying, trolling or wrong. Perhaps they just have a different opinion that contradicts your own. It's a scary thought I know.

C'mon you two, I think you are overreacting a little. Of course there are some people that have attacked the poster quite harshly (does that exist? anyways) but I haven't really seen insults here, and there are always, on every message board, people that are just stupid and claiming their taste to be universal.

It sure didn't help that it really looks like he wanted it to be a flamebait (The thread title, judging so many games after so little time, only responsing to quite off-topic posts about Zelda, but not actually getting the discussion along) and that his fellow PS3 buddies are entering and supporting him by attacking the Wii.

 

What I want to say is, don't claim that the Nintendo boards here are full of fanboys, since this site has some very respectable Nintendo supporters that are amongst the best posters I've ever seen. I'd even say the site's Nintendo supporters are still "wiser" than the supporters of the other two consoles, but that's personal opinion.

However, just overread the stupid answers and read those from people that are known for good posts on these boards. Like this, most discussions seem a lot more intelligent and interesting.
