Hm Gamestop told me tuesday. If it is not there after I drive 30mins my normally calm self might have some nerd rage

I work at Best Buy and our shipment comes in Wednesday. That means it won't be available for customers until Wednesday afternoon.

Guess I should call them first then so I do not have a sad moment.

Saw this earlier. And I called up GameStop, if you pre-ordered with them, you can pick it up Wednesday.

I was telling someone about the score just now.
He said "I knew it was going to suck"
I said "A 8.6 is a very good score"
He said "Its a horrible score, below 9 sucks"
I said "Oh, alright, Prototype must really suck then"
He said "No, thats different, a 10/10 wii game is the same as a 6/10 360 game"

Heh.
I predicted 8.5, I was close.
Remember to pick it up tomorrow, or else.
Yes, that is a threat. :P

Even Matt himself said a number of times in the review that the game isn't up to the standards on other consoles.

I'm just saying. Don't everyone jump on me at once D:

The Conduit on Xbox360 and PS3 of course its not on the standards over there.

If people are looking for a great FPS game, please buy this and support third-party developers that try!

Don't wait for a 9+ game like on the HD consoles, because you'll be waiting for a long time.



# of games above 75 on Metacritic (including downloadable):

360: 241     DS: 144

PS3: 152     PSP: 126

Wii: 85

Good score, I thought it was going to get an 8.4 or 8.3 or so.



"Pier was a chef, a gifted and respected chef who made millions selling his dishes to the residents of New York City and Boston, he even had a famous jingle playing in those cities that everyone knew by heart. He also had a restaurant in Los Angeles, but not expecting LA to have such a massive population he only used his name on that restaurant and left it to his least capable and cheapest chefs. While his New York restaurant sold kobe beef for $100 and his Boston restaurant sold lobster for $50, his LA restaurant sold cheap hotdogs for $30. Initially these hot dogs sold fairly well because residents of los angeles were starving for good food and hoped that the famous name would denote a high quality, but most were disappointed with what they ate. Seeing the success of his cheap hot dogs in LA, Pier thought "why bother giving Los Angeles quality meats when I can oversell them on cheap hotdogs forever, and since I don't care about the product anyways, why bother advertising them? So Pier continued to only sell cheap hotdogs in LA and was surprised to see that they no longer sold. Pier's conclusion? Residents of Los Angeles don't like food."

"The so-called "hardcore" gamer is a marketing brainwashed, innovation shunting, self-righteous idiot who pays videogame makers far too much money than what is delivered."

LOL!  I was just complaining in another thread that 360 games are rated too high.  There are several Wii games with 60-70 scores on metacritic that are more fun than XBOX 360 games in the 80-90 range.

I don't think it is so much that the wii games are under rated as it is the 360 games are over rated.

 

The score is a little lower than I was hoping for, but about what I expected.  It 6 points better than what they gave COD WAW which makes it fairly good sign.

It seemed to me he was saying that the game didn't have a big feature or "hook" that many of the other HD games had, such as Red Faction's destructible environs or Darkness' monters slavery.  In that sense, some could consider it generic.  To me, if it's like Perfect Dark then it's full of win.

Congratulations High Voltage Software! =P



Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

Watch my insane gameplay videos on my YouTube page!

Not too bad.

Can't wait to exchange friends codes and play multiplayer with you guys. Plus, I'm interested in testing out Wii Speak in-game for the first time. The only use I've had for it so far was responding to all the spammers when it first released!
