But i agree for every good game the wii has there are 100 bad one :/

I love when people say that.

I have 36 Wii games and all of them are good,show me the 3600 bad Wii games i somehow missed please?

Well i can't show you 3600, but i can show you this...these are games on the Wii that scored below 70 on Metacritic. I'm sure there are tons more games on the Wii, but no one bothered to review them.

So 137 out of 394 games on the Wii are good,again we are far from "10 games out of 100"

Anyway i think just like casual gamers you get fooled by the box art so when you see this:

You will always consider it better to something like this:

Even if both games are considered to be equally bad on metacritic.

nope lol i don't get fooled by stupid games like the wheelman, which looks atrocious!!

Wow, well this is pathetic...

I mean, just b/c I hate all FPSes cuz they all involve the same bullshit over and over again, that doesn't mean I create a thread saying "Hey, I went to Gamestop today and guess what? I saw a bunch of crap games on the 360 and PS3 isle. They are all shooters and racers that involve the same concept with nothing new. Yeah, a gun with a chainsaw...woop-de-doo, instead of two different weapons, its in one weapon. Ooooh a game that plays slower so it is more realistic? Fan-f@#king-tastic!"

Yeah, that's right, I think all shooters suck and are lame games that doesn't evolve and are all the same.

Are you all going to point out to me that these games sell extremely well? So what? Wii Fit almost outsold an entire freaking console? Does that make it a better game than others? I don't know, I have no right to say it does.

Are you all going to give me a list of reviews that tell me shooters and racers and other tired old genres on the HD systems are AAA-caliber games and the Wii games are not? Says who? The gaming review sites? Who the f#$k are they to tell me what games are good or not? I mean really, what gives them the right to tell me what game is good or not? What degree do they have to judge games? The last time I heard, all they have is a journalistic degree, if they have a degree at all...and that just tells me they have the ability to spew BS in a logical fashion...

Truth be told, I have no right to tell you that your games are full of shit, even if that is what I truly believe, and expect you to believe in it. And the same goes to you, the OP, and all those who believe in the OP. You can't say that all those games are shit, just because you don't like playing those games. B/c in the end, there are some people who actually like them and buy them to play.

So, really...get off your high-horse and join us "commoners." You don't have to like the games available...just don't act like you are better b/c of your tastes. B/C to me, your tastes sucks.

But at least I'm not holding it against you.

 

 

lol yeah sorry about the rage...just got a lot of papers due and I needed to vent in some way so I just wrote stuff down and there ya go...

 

But the message is still the same and I stand by it!

lol i hear ya...

we all have different tastes in gaming and there's nothing wrong with that.

Wii has a lot of great games, but most of them are like diamonds on store shelves

See I've already listed more then ten games worth playing that I see at every gamestop I go into, on top of that there are plenty more that look like trash that people quite enjoy, are they "the best game evar" no, but they're fun for what they're worth, as wfz said quality is subjective as something like you'd play isn't something I'd play and we both could be talking about the same genre of "core" games.

Honestly if you can't find something to play it's either you have trouble looking or you just assume everything is shovelware trash and go around talking about it on the internet which doesn't make you look very good and it attracts trolls like you have done, good job.

MGS2, GTA3, GTA Vice City, Tekken Tag, Gran Turismo 3, Silent Hill 2, Devil May Cry, Twisted Metal, Jak & Daxter, Half Life, Capcom vs Snk 2, Marvel vs Capcom 2, FFX, Quake 3, Unreal Tournament... etc.

 

 

Don't put your trash in with my list of good games!  (see what I did there, that's called quality is subjective)

And I bet you've never actually played many of those, like I see Onslaught on that list and it's an awesome Wii Ware title, it's just got a lot of B movie cheese to it much like Earth Defense Force.  No one source is the best resource in telling you want you like to play, only you are that judge, reviews are important for other reasons then a numerical score like people try to act, mainly that you find a reviewer that fits your taste usually, find out what they like and what they don't like, compare it to your likes and dislikes and if you'd even care that certain flaws are in a game, and that's a good way of judging if you would like a game or not.

 

Plus for the record 5/10 is supposed to be average so anything 50 and below is supposed to be considered a bad game.

See I've already listed more then ten games worth playing that I see at every gamestop I go into, on top of that there are plenty more that look like trash that people quite enjoy, are they "the best game evar" no, but they're fun for what they're worth, as wfz said quality is subjective as something like you'd play isn't something I'd play and we both could be talking about the same genre of "core" games.

Honestly if you can't find something to play it's either you have trouble looking or you just assume everything is shovelware trash and go around talking about it on the internet which doesn't make you look very good and it attracts trolls like you have done, good job.

Well the games I mentioned aren't garbage and the point is the PS2 had some high quality titles in its first two years as well. If all of these games were on the Wii you would consider them some of the best on the Wii as well.

Out of all those you listed I'd only like to play FF X.

But the PS2 didn't have a ton of great games that would appeal to me in the first 2 years anyway. It got them later on and there's still a whole library I need to go through on PS2.

The same's happening for the Wii. This year the Wii is awesome. 2010 looks like it should be awesome as well, Nintendo need to get out their new games they've been working on soon and 2010 is probably when they're releasing their bulk. And the Wii's bound to get betters games in the future as well.

So stop bullshitting and going "My opinion is better than yours!"

Well you just gave your opinion... so you basically just did what you're telling me not to do.

 

So with that said...

Well sorry to rain on your parade but Unreal was horrible on PS2 just like it's not that great on PS3 and 360 the only saving grace is PS3 actually got the PC update for free and has mouse and keyboard support which makes it a lot more fun to play.

For me the only games I even bought from that list are Jak and Daxter and FFX, and FFX isn't that great.  I would have gotten Marvel vs Capcom 2 if I ever saw a copy. 

But honestly I don't see how your little list has anything to do with my post...

I know why the wii makes so many crappy games. It's so that the beautiful ones look even more beautiful by comparison.

Consider the AAA games the cheerleaders and the shovelware as the ugly best friend.

And you're stating your opinion as a fact which it's not.

So when I give an opinon I am claiming a fact?

But when you give an opinion it's somehow completely unbias?
