everyone who claims that shia's being bashed just because he doesn't like the wii need to reread what he said. he basically bashed the entire wii user base, and he has never played the console. opinions are fine, but this guy hasn't even touched a wii. he has no right to use such harsh words.

let it be known that i still plan on seeing transformers 2. also, although Megan Fox is a twit, id still hit that. XD


You don't need to play the Wii to know that it is geared towards casual gamers rather than the hardcore.


right, but to state that its for "amateur" players is just wrong. i dont really view myself as an "amateur". the wii may have a lot of casual games, but they don't all suck, like he's implying.

don't forget that the wii has its fair share of core and challenging games....


Casual does mean Amateur, but because they don't want to progress their gaming skills. Would you rather I said novice? The Wii may have challenging games...but the amount of those games, do not warrent a purchase from a hardcore gamer. Casuals can get full value out of that system.

so are you implying that everyone that owns a wii is casual? look, just because i dont have a 360 doesnt mean i dont like hardcore games. thinking that all people who own a wii are "amateurs" is pretty stupid.

and how exactly do people become more than an "amateur"? do they have to buy a 360 or a PS3 to become more than, as you put it, a novice?

look, no matter what anyone says, ALL GAMES use progression of skills. what hardcore gamers have that casuals dont is the understanding  of most games in general; they can pick up just about any game and play it because theyve played many many games before and developed the "sense". casual games are ones that only require common sense. the wii only amplifies this, because of its intuitive controls. hardcore gamers tend to hate casual gamers because they didnt have to work hard for their fun. which makes sense.... sort of.
