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.
|
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.

You just admitted that the Wii is a start up system, without actually saying it. Most people who buy Wii's are not going to upgrade. You also hit the nail on the head for while most hardcore gamers cannot tolerate casual games. Hardcore gamers are a minority, but their voice still holds a lot of weight.

youre funny. i was actually neutral and adding to your point, but since you insist on treating everyone who doesnt hail your HD consoles as the center of gaming, i guess ill just jump in.
hm, i guess it could be a startup system. but it certainly isnt single sided. plenty of hardcore. besides, its not like this simple-button, easy to figure out thing started with the wii. its in pretty much all of nintendo's games. wii just has waggle.
and another thing. dont say upgrade. i dont find the PS3 better than the wii.
aaaand finally, how many people do you think bought the PS3 or Xbox because "they heard the graphics were like krazy!"? the truth is, casual lies in your precious HD systems too. people who play games where one button makes you enter a long (albeit beautiful) and boring cutscene where some guy rips off another's head or slams him into a wall. the ridiculously good-looking games that make people go "nice graphics" even though the gameplay sucks ass. the button mashing games (Yes, im looking at your precious tekken. i love the fact that it has character depth, story and fighting styles, but i hate how i can own someone without practice). games that have oh-so-many tracks, maps, cars or weapons. oh and your fapping games. forgot about those. these games are a STRONG part of(pretty much most of) the HD library. they just have M or T slapped on to them, to fool people into thinking theyre elite. yes, you can argue that the triple A games on HD consoles are ridiculously hardcore, and i cant disagree. but like 20-30 games in a library of 500, 800, 1000?
