Forums - Nintendo - The Conduit preview: Technically marvellous but it's not really much fun

colonelstubbs on 11 April 2009

Bit of a damning preview...but i dont think nintendo fans truly believed this would be a glorious success



I hope my 360 doesn't RRoD

I really hope the guy who wrote that article is wrong. I was really looking forward to this game, but now I've somewhat lost my virtual wood.



Keep this in mind when reading what I type...

I've been gaming longer than many of you have been alive.

So by admitting that you liked MP more than MP3, aren't you emptying of any value what you said just a few posts ago?

... IMO, any shooter on the Wii will 'automatically' be more fun than on its HD cousins due to the controls...

Samus Aran said:
Yes. Not a single fps is on par with metroid prime 3 in the offline department.(this gen)

 

After all, MP did not have Wii controls :)

I went ahead and underlined the two things that make this post meaningless. Keep at it, though: shams overreached with that statement, so feel free to hammer it home.

Why do people even listen to todays reviewers? I mean 99% of them is just shit.

 

Hell most of them today wouldn't even know if a game is fantastic no matter how much the game bites them in the ass.



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

This preview has to be completely wrong.

Up until now I heard that this was going to be the greatest shooter of all time.

Well, I didn't hear all of that, but the previews as a whole have been very positive.

 Who's been saying that?  I will posit that the Wii owners who are excited for this game are more excited that it's the first of it's kind, not the best (at least, that's how it is for me):  A Wii exclusive built around the strengths of the console, specifically, the controls, and the graphical focus implies that High Voltage, as a 3rd party, is actually trying.  That's not something that can be said about many a 3rd party Wii game.

To lavish praise upon this title, the assumption of a common plateau between player and game must be made.  I won't open my unworthy mouth.

It's not the first shooter on the Wii that a third party actually tried.  I'm sick of hearing this.  There was a lot of effort put into Red Steel regardless of what several people might say.

Red Steel? Almost 4 years ago (probably took near a year to make it).

 

Treyarch must've tried on Call of Duty: World at War, or else it wouldn't have sold as much. But there is Call of Duty 3......
