What is "fratcore"? People who like shooters like halo?

And madden, and GTA, and Guitar hero.....

Their the mindless consumer who only buys the hyped up "Cool" games, like the above and the summer movie tie-ins. They, along with the casual audience, for the bull-shit sandwich that traps actual games in a stat of cynicism and self-consciousness about their own hobby, because they are worried that these two combined monarchs of idocy and faggotry are so large that the studios and developers will cease any effort to produce actual games and just pump out endless shovel ware made of shooters, rapper-indorced piles of shit, and anything with 'sports' in it's title.

Does that help?

 

 

*Whistles* Wow that is a lot of hate....I'm guessing you have seen one in the wild and they have annoyed the crap out of you, haven't they?

 

@OT: This is one interesting thread. To answer the question, you have to consider the two sides: Wii-owners and non-Wii owners. For the Wii-owners, those that actually like and tolerate FPS shooters should get this game for sure. The controls seem to be looking great and it seems to be as generic as all the other shooters (in my eyes, the eyes of one who dislikes shooters). Though the graphics seem to be lacking compared to other games in general, it still reminds me of the N64 glory days of Goldeneye and Perfect Dark, just shinier. 

As for me, I am actually looking forward to this game. The reason that I have not gotten into other shooters in the past is the fact that I just hated how the controls have evolved. In the N64 days, the C-stick was like a D-pad, and I felt I had more control. Now, when I play Halo with his 360, I just get fustrated as hell and just go "BLAH! Humbug! I'm going back to my Wii." (or more likely, Homework since I'm a serious college student). Now, if I play the Conduit, if the controls are similiar to MP3, I feel it might be more realistic (as much as a video game can be). Now if I mess up in shooting an alien, I can blame my own hand-eye coordination rather than the stupid dual-analog. I mean, I fired a real gun in a firing range. How can someone say that shooters in the 360 and PS3 are more realistic when you are using two analog knobs to line up your shot and to move?

But remember, this is just my opinion as a gamer, nothing more, nothing less.

@Barozi

That is the thing, isn't it? In the end, this is just a discussion of gamers' opinions on which is better to use. When one group starts to attack the other group's opinions and preferences, however, that is when it gets out of hand.

Its a fair question to ask, and i'm sure it's been thoroughly answered by now (too lazy to look through all the replies), but some of what i've read holds true: some multiconsole owners prefer Wii controls, some multiconsole owners just enjoy FPS period, and want to play it on Wii too. Some multiconsole owners don't, and that's fine too. It depends on what you want out of a game, and what attracts you.

 

Hell, i know quite a few Wii owners who are avoiding this game specifically because it's trying to be a generic FPS, so it works both ways.

You just called a lot of people retarded. I hope you enjoy your ban. :)

 

If you jnew where this was going in the first place why did was your own, and more importantly MY time by replying? And if you think I'll get banned for something as light as this, you've got a lot of things to learn bucko.

Actually, technically he is talking about the people who don't actually come and discuss games in forums. But like they say, if it offended you, then you may be one of them.

Quickness can be pretty important considering how fast you can die in a game like World at War. Also accuracy I find most people have better aim on a joystick. But whatever... Wiimote is the better option.

 

I'm glad that you agree.

I knew that you would snap out of it. 

Can we atleast agree being a grown man and using a Wiimote looks completely fucking ridiculous? Its almost like finding out someone you know watches professional wrestling... you just respect them less.

 

i've played with tons of people that are all like 18-30.  majority around 23-25.  i've seen tons of parents play.  parents, grandma's ect. all seen us play.  I don't believe one of us have EVER felt dumb or stupid.  You really have some insecurity issues.  

 

none of the people watching us ever felt we looked dumb or that it was stupid either.  if they did i doubt that 90% of them would end up owning a Wii in less than a month after just watching us.  The ones that played it end up buying even sooner.   Pretty sure the super minority think that people look dumb playing it.  heck i find people get made fun of if they don't do the exagerated motions or full out motion adn try to "look" cool.  They are the ones that look stupid

Yeah, I will have to wait and see how it pans out. If you won't be banned, I guess it is ok to say stuff like that. :)

Actually, technically I just said that he called a lot of people retarted. You don't have a problem with that kind of attitude? Oh and I was not a bit offended by that. :)

Well with that post mjc2021 has showed us part of the target audience of the "mature" games/consoles. Immature and insecure people who can't even handle the possibility of "looking stupid" while playing a game.

Notice I said "part of".

 



My Mario Kart Wii friend code: 2707-1866-0957

NJ5, I was going to say something about insecurity and maturity as well.

It also suggests he's not played many Wii games because you rarely flail your arms around. Especially in a FPS.
