Forums - Nintendo - Do you buy "hardcore" Wii games because you actually want them?

theRepublic on 29 June 2009

I buy games I want. It just so happens that they are mostly core games.

Only if I'm interested in buing them. I don't buy hack and slash games that are only two and a half hours long and have limited replayability to support a cause.

I was just thinking about The Conduit and whether I am going to buy it or not. The reviews are a bit meh, it looks generic to me and whilst I like FPS, this doesn't look like one of the greatest ones out there.

But I will buy it, the same reason I bought No More Heroes, De Blob etc. because the system needs these 3rd party games and I feel that I am "doing my bit".

Is this wrong? Am I alone?

And maybe this is for another thread, but is the quality of Wii third party games as good as the Gamecube ones? Personally I think not (RE4, Rogue Squadron and Viewtiful Joe are three games that are to me, head and shoulders better that what we have had so far)...

 

 

Nope, I buy games that I like.  Not to help some company out because I want them to make more games for the Wii.  I could care less about NMH and Madworld.  Just because they have adult content doesn't make them "hardcore".  I did buy Conduit and I do like it.  I think it's a great game.  I only buy games that spark my interest.  With being a Wii only owner, this game stood out for me personally to satisfy my FPS needs.  Which isn't a very big need, but is good to have one nonetheless.  I like unique titles in general, hence the reason I own a Wii and DS.  Innovation FTW for me.

I refuse to vote with my dollar. If a kind of game becomes popular it's because it works well and is good, not because a handful of people bought it out of obligation. I'm not throwing my money down a sink for something I don't really want. I almost got the conduit, but reading the reviews it looks exactly like what I was afraid it will be. So I will pass and wait for Little King's Story, a game I actually want.

i only buy any type of games because i want them not because i feel like i have to do my "bit" if you want to buy games that you don't want that fine, but my wallet is not that big....and just because i don't buy a "hardcore" game doesn't mean i don't like "hardcore" games or that i don't want them on the wii (i do very much so) its just that i don't like that particular one

e.g. Madworld - I actually want Madworld, but I would never pay $50 for a 5-6 hour campaign and no substantial online play - once it drops down to $20 I'll pick it up
