Forums - Nintendo - Why is the Conduit 'meh?'

AI doesn't appear that smart

Graphics aren't great compared to other shooters on the other consoles

Another sci fi FPS that we have all done a hundred times over

No lan or local multiplayer

Only real notable thing is the wii remote and customization. So there are good reasons to have lack of interest in the game. However I am not one of those people. I can't wait for this game.



95% of gamers don't know they are noobs, the 5% who do won't be noobs for long

many people are looking forward to this being a graphically driven game for the wii. Now I'm looking at this from a standard definition, and not comparing it to the HD console games. imo if you're going to make a graphically driven game, then try to achieve it. I have seen games on the xbox and ps2 that look better then this, and this is a console that's suppose to be better then those systems.

Many of you claim that gameplay is the best thing in a game, but many of you are being hypocritical and basing this game solely on graphics saying it's a beautiful game for the wii. Please quit kidding yourself. They can do much better for this game, and I would even be demanding more. In all honesty stick to your main route and just hope the controls are really good.

While we havn't seen the finished product yet, what is released is abysmal at best. I understand that single console owners want a decent looking shooter that plays well, but so far, it doesn't look good compared to last gen games and the controls are untested. It could be better, and that is what it is "meh"



CURRENTLY PLAYING:  Warframe, Witcher 2

I'm looking forward to the game, as it's a welcome addition to an under represented genre and it looks quite good. But the art direction is admittedly inconsistent.



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do. 

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

There are a few elements that the game has and some that it doesn't. I mean honestly you want too much Mr. OP. Explaining a word with no definition while explaining ourselves to YOU!? Wow. The underlying issue is why make a thread about it at all unless your being naive or aggitant.

The game is 'meh'? Context is ruler supreme and in that context described by you 'meh' is already answered, for people who use 'meh' to describe a game with the context you provided; those people aren't 'first day buy' nor are they ' this game sucks.'

Why? Because. that's their opinion, you want an explination on that opinion? Simple, they didn't see what they expected.

Graphic heavy FPS on my Wii is meh.
Graphic heavy FPS with awesome controls on my Wii is meh.
Graphic heavy FPS with awesome controls and online multiplayer on my Wii is meh.
Graphic heavy FPS with awesome controls, online multiplayer and four player splitscreen w/ lan support on my Wii is meh.
Graphic heavy FPS with awesome controls, online multiplayer, four player splitscreen w/ lan support and offers never done before style of FPS play is 'huh? Interesting'

It's simple, nothing here hasn't been done before by someone else, this is the first time it's being all given in one serving - except the offline multiplayer.

(Art direction doesn't seem to yell anything but "I'm super generic" as well.)

I hope that helps. =)



I'm Unamerica and you can too.

To whom this may apply, why do you think the Conduit is meh?  Give specifics please because I want a mental image as to why you think this way.  In short, why?

I own a PC.



its because its on the wi. also, IMHO, it does look like there are quite a few FPS better than it- but thats only by the looks of the videos. im sure with the controls, it will be one of the best FPS, IMO, anyway



I would guess because of the developer's history. I have no trust that such a company will release something great until I see definitive proof. I assumed the same for Demon's Souls and KZ2, Conduit falls within that same situation.

If you compare it next to madworld, it is meh. IMO

 

I agree and I can only be on one hype train at a time.

Unless you build a smaller hype train that can fit reasonably onto the MadWorld hype train: Meh.



Because it's an FPS when they are on other console they are "meh" but on the Wii they should be amazing? hmm...no
