Forums - Nintendo - Conduit - metascore of 74!

I like it how the title of this thread is so neutral. On the other hand, it makes it harder for me to know what to say here since there's no argument to back up or counter... But I still like it.

Sounds appropriate to me. Possible deserves a couple of points more but this sounds right. Of course I haven't played the game... But wasn't Haze a solid shooter, yet boring, and it got much worse reviews? I don't see this being THAT much different from Haze, though considering the platform this looks better, though not considering the platform this looks slightly worse. Anyway, I'd say it's mostly because this is generic: sure, gameplay works fine but everything's generic and Wii has inferior multiplayer (or online service that's used to access multiplayer, whichever way you prefer, the short one or the long one) to the HD consoles.

Also, this game seems to divide opinions a lot. We have a wide range of different reviews. Maybe there are lots of things that are up to the reviewer to judge, things that are hard or impossible to judge (not describe) objectively?

Or reviewers being bad gamers because I've seen a number of the conduit reviews complaining about the controls and saying dual analog is better lol. Sorry, but that's just bullshit. I hate dual analog for fps, I really hate it A LOT. It's so bad compared to keyboard/mouse and wiimote(take mp3 for example)

And anyone who thinks differently is a bad gamer?  That's brilliant dude, it's the most snobbish thing I've read all day. 

I like mouse and keyboard but I enjoy dual analog as well, not everyone is as allergic to dual analog as you seem to be.

I don't mind dual analog at all... But it is obvious what the superior choice is....

No, but people that whine about controls before getting used to them are. Sheesh... Do I really have to write everthing in detail for ya? I hate that and never do it. And you're right about me being allergic to dual analog... I like to feel immersed in my game and one way to do that is control.

I've gotten plenty used to using the wii-mote from Metroid and Zelda Crossbow and the like.  I love it for single player but I'll never use it for multiplayer.  The only advantage the wii-mote has over analog is you can quickly move the cross hairs.  The problem is that when I play FPS's I keep the cross hairs at head shot hieght at all times and move when necessary.  That is easy with analog and a mouse but not with the wii-mote.  Also, it's much easier to drink a beer or soda and keep your crosshairs in the same place with mouse and analog.  Also again, aiming the wii-mote for more than an hour really makes your wrist hurt.  You like the wii-mote and that's fine but you can't just say that the wii-mote is better.

You don't have to hold your arm out.  Just rest your arm on your leg.

^ This is you!

It's more precise and quicker. Atleast to me it is. Hurting your wrists? I've played metroid prime 3 out without taking a break lol. Didn't hurt my wrists. Ok, everyone has his opinion, but I just wouldn't go as far as calling dual analog better. As you said your self, wii mote is more fun, isn't that the most important thing in a game?

I know and that's why my arm doesn't hurt, but my wrist does from the constant aiming.

I never said the wii-mote is more fun, I said it was fun.  I also did not say that Analog is better, I said I prefer it.  I also will not agree it's more precise, it depends on how stable your hand is.  I prefer being able to throw my controller on the ground and the cross-hairs stay put.  There are also a lot a folks that have problems with their wrists hurting, but not everyone.  Got two friends and a brother who won't play for more than an hour or so.

Edit:  If you get good with analog you can turn the sensitivity up and the cross hairs move crazy fast or crazy slow and everything in between.
