"After Wii Music sold 20 million copies, we decided it would be best to get rid of scores and note charts all together. Now everyone can play, and nobody will feel bad because they couldn't get a score as high as someone else."

Neversoft in 2009:

"Yeah, what Harmonix said."

Nintendo, ruining gaming one year at a time.

I miss when HMX still made hard music games.

Long live Frequency and Amplitude.

Fuck you HMX, you fucking sell outs. Don't you remember your old fans?

Post by: cool breeze on July 15, 2008, 02:16:38 PM: Best new music game of the show so far is Lips despite that also looking like shit.

And if you want to waggle in a rhythm game, then go buy Samba de Amigo.

the autistic usually don't have too much disposable income, so i wonder what nintendo is getting at.

Then how do you explain all the WOW and MMO subscriptions?

You folks miss the super-key issue here: WHERE'S MY MII?! Stop freaking out over this, it's like crying over a new Fisher Price toy. It's not for you, it's pure marketing, pure business and has as much to do with gaming as stamp collecting does.

No, YOU'RE missing the point. If this shit keeps succeeding wildly eventually no one will bother making games that cater to our tastes, jerky. It'll be cheaper and easier and more profitable to just shovel out the shit that's helping the Wii win.

Things that sell cause trends, hence there being so much Nintendo-inspired casual garbage and shitty party games.

That's why major movie studios have been making nothing but straight-to-home releases and home workout videos for the last 20 years.

Oh come on. This whole "BU BU BU COMMERCE DESTROYS ART" argument has been debunked since the get-go. There are films like Hancock, yes, but also films like The Dark Knight. There are films like 10,000 BC, but also films like Wall-E. And certainly films like 8 1/2 and Taxi to the Dark Side and eighty bazillion small films that premiere every week.

There's still a market for MAN GAMES and they'll continue to predominate. The WII isn't about gaming anymore. Software sales for that thing are shit-tastic. It's peripherals, a couple of first party BIG HITS and a ton of 3rd party shit-ware. MSoft still makes big bucks off Gears of War and whatever else is the BLOODY SMASH HIT OF THE SEASON.

They're two different markets at this point and the Wii, frankly, is an anamoly. The pie is small and everyone knows it, which is why MSoft will let Nintendo waggle for a few years, maybe make a couple soft entries for family-fare, but largely leave the casual bullshit behind. The Devil You Know, blah blah.

Getting worked up over the IMPENDING GAMES ARMAGEDDON is ridiculous. Mark my word, you'll see preciously little crossover and in ten years you'll be cranking Gears of War 9 while Nintendo is trying to figure out how to repeat that magic moment. And you'll be able to snag a Wii at every garage sale in America.

I know you're being sarcastic, but the reality TV boom took over our airwaves in the 90s and hasn't really ever stopped. 24 and Lost have done a valiant job of fighting back and making networks safe for dramas again, but at the end of the day, why pay actors when nobodies will debase themselves for free?

Reality TV makes for cheap programming, but some of the most popular and enduring series are traditional dramas: Lost, The Sopranos, Sex and the City, Weeds, Battlestar Galactica. Hell, George fuckin' Lopez, King of Queens. Reality is cheap, but the real revenue is coming from regular ol' style programming.

Three of the biggest shows you mentioned in there are for premium cable channels which really never got caught into the reality tv nonsense in the first place. totally different demographic pays extra to watch premium shows and really negates your point
