Title: I sold my Wii! Fuck, yeah!
Post by: Howard Alan Treesong on January 17, 2010, 10:22:27 PM
I sold my Wii on Craigslist today! Yeah! 8)

I feel like I just got out of a long-term abusive relationship.

I have a vinyl record player where my Wii used to be.

I'm just so happy, I had to tell the whole world!

Super Mario Galaxy is like that one week you spent in Europe which was so wonderful and you keep coming back to as a reason to hope things will improve again one day. But it never does... it never does.

Is this a joke?

Why would I play Tatsunoko vs. Capcom? I have Tekken 6 and Street Fighter IV for "serious fighting" and BlazBlue for my animu fighter fix. :uguu

Why would I play Tales of Graces? I played Tales of Symphonia in 2004 and Tales of the Abyss in 2006. Why would I want to play another weeaboo JRPG when there's so many better RPG experiences, Western and Japanese, on the PC and PS3?

Why would I play Sky Crawlers: Innocent Aces? No, I mean, seriously. Why? If I want to play an actiony flight sim - and I don't - I'll play Warhawk on the PS3 or positively anything on the PC.

Wii is a piece of shit forever and my life is better without it. FREEDOM!

EDIT: Super Mario Galaxy 2? Who cares? It's just an expansion pack to (the admittedly excellent) Super Mario Galaxy, not anything new or exciting.

Wii Zelda 2? Putting aside the fact it's not hitting US shores until 2011 ... after Twilight Princess and the last two DS Zeldas, why should I have any faith Nintendo has any clue what goes into a good Zelda game? I'm playing Darksiders right now and it is a better "next-gen Zelda" than anything Nintendo has shat out in the past ten years. I mean, it's no Okami, but then again, what is!

Personally Tekken 6 and SFIV are too slow for me, i never tried blazeblue.

You played the worst tales games, ToS was shit adn ToA is average imo.

Warhawk ps3 was never good.

I also played ToD1 and 2 and Legendia - I just listed the direct line antecedents of Graces. I've been playing this game my whole life and I don't need to play it again!

Tatsunoko vs. Capcom is shallow and poor. The import is a fighter you get bored of in an afternoon.

Sin and Punishment 2? Yeah, if the indie/doujinshi shooter scene didn't exist, Treasure might still be relevant. :teehee

these games you guys are listing aren't going anywhere.  Best plan for the Wii is probably just buying one cheap at the end of its cycle and playing the few worthwhile games then.

btw, I did import TvC and I got bored quick.  Part of it was no online play, and iirc the US version will have that, so w/e.  Still don't see it being as fun as MvC2 (which I'm not a big fan of) or SF4.  It's not as crazy as one or deep as the other.

People getting excited about Zelda as if we know anything about it?

Running off of the last DS one, this time, Link scoots around on a magical Segway with the help of a GHOST BISON named Seth as they try to rescue the magical princess of the land that's clearly not Hyrule, even though she looks just like Zelda.

That is fair enough for Graces then.   But saying that ps3 has rpgs is kinda a joke though.

They say they fixed the problems with TVC it is highly rated now, ill have to look more into it though.

You honestly think Nintendo or any sensible gamer gives a fuck? Between the moment you clicked on "New Topic" and this reply, Nintendo has likely already sold 50,000 to 100,000 hardware units in the U.S. alone , guy. You think anyone cares that you'll probably be playing nothing but XBox360 and have their tech support staff on speed dial like that monkey, Genghis?

The Nintendo Wii is slated to have a great 2010 lineup as indicated earlier. Unlike what the straight-to-bargain-bin game debugger M3ww had to say about Zelda, it will end up being fuck awesome, but if you're going to take the word of someone who's dumb enough to question an upcoming Zelda *console* game based on previous *handheld* versions, then you're as brain dead and clueless as he is.

Yeah. The handheld ones are a different breed from console, thankfully. But the anticipation behind it is akin to the Apple Slate masturbation. I mean, no one knows a damn thing yet are already comparing it to everything.

I'd never sell a game or a console. The last one I did was Sesame Street 123 on the NES and I vowed never to do it again.

No one said that you should care. But facts are facts. The Wii is a console slated to have a great year, gaming wise. You think the Big N is concerned with idiots like the OP or a forum choked with Wii detractors, when it's breaking sales records like it was child's play?

Actually i think it comes full circle.  The wii is like meant for people who are 40+, neither me or(nor?) my brother dont play my wii(yet, this year might change that), but my dad does.  I think it is the same for everyone.

1.  Demon Souls is hardly an rpg, it is an action/adventure game.

2.  It isn't that good eihter, no decent skill tree, no decent dialogue no decent interaction between npc's.

Equipment, stats, alignment, magic systems, encumbrance, melee and ranged weapon combat systems ... um ... let's not even have this. It's an RPG.

It's not a JRPG and it's on the fringes of what people call a WRPG but if stuff like Ultima Underworld is an RPG - and it is - then Demon's Souls sure as hell is, too

And that makes it an rpg?  RPG's are about character to npc interaction, as in actually playing a role wihtin that world of a game.  It is if anything more fo a JRPG than a WRPG for that fact alone and yet it doesnt fit into A JRPG becuase it doesnt even have much npc interaction.  It is a game equivalent to diablo in 3d however if you belive Diablo is really an RPG i guess you can call that an RPG.  It is an injustice to game that are true rpg's however like Fallout and Baldurs Gate however.

Yeah I stored my wii in a closet for basically all of 2009 but I'm going to have to find it and unpack it for 2010.  There's actually a good number of solid games.

I think you sold your wii a year too late unfortunately patel.

I'm nuts for Kingdom Hearts but Epic Mickey looks disappointing as all hell right now. You know what made Kingdom Hearts awesome? The ORIGINAL voice actors and amazing recreations of the movie's worlds with authentic music and animation. Even the live action Pirates of the Caribbean meshed remarkably well with everything. You can tell it was a labor of love with a pretty solid gameplay base underneath.

Right now, all we've seen of Epic Mickey is a down-syndrome Mouse running around something out of an N64 game. That could all change at E3 when it gets shown off more, but right now I'm skeptical.

Serious question, do used Wii consoles still go for a decent price? How much did you sell yours for?

I sold my Wii, 2 controllers, 1 nunchuck, 1 classic controller and Wii Sports for $200. Not so bad.

A lot of it is fanboy flag-waving, but there is Warren Spector (creator of Deus Ex: Invisible War) to consider.

:lol

Warren Spector is giving me the 'best-used-before 2000' sort of feel that Wil Wright does, and this was well before Epic Mickey was announced. His released essays and articles/interviews over the the last few years left me very suspect of his design motivations and goals for his upcoming projects.

Title: Re: I sold my Wii! Fuck, yeah!

Read his post mortem on Invisible War. It's a mindfuck.

http://pc.ign.com/articles/444/444433p1.html

Everything past page 1 is Warren Spector himself.

Quote
I don't think it's true any longer (if it ever was) that console games have to be aimed at a younger audience than PC games and THAT forces you to make different design decisions.

And I still don't see the huge difference in playing a game on a TV, in a living room, while sitting on the couch as compared to sitting inches away from a computer monitor somewhere else in the house.

Quote
though the UI decisions we made clearly benefited the console version, we made no decisions that we thought would compromise our core gameplay. And we would have made the same decisions even if the game had been PC-only.
::)

Quote
The fact that a circular HUD didn't match the shape of a monitor screen or that it would "eat up screen real estate" didn't occur to me
This man is a fucking moron.

Quote
which means the PC version probably has more map loads than it might if we hadn't concerned ourselves with the Xbox

He definitely strikes me as the kind of guy who's work is much better when he's working on a team of equals, having his ideas challenged and tested, rather than as a guy who gets the 'final word' on things.

I still really don't get the Invisible War hate. Yes, it's a downgrade over the original but it wasn't a terrible game like so many people make it out to be.

Are there any designers who don't benefit from being on a team where things are challenged and discussed before they're implemented, though? Like, maybe you think the Civ IV designer should get carte blanche to override everyone forever or something. ;)

You're right of course, but it's sort of a 'degree of difference' sort of thing with Warren based off his comments-if he was passing down the ten commandments on stone tablets to the rest of his team I'd feel way more uneasy about the product than I would if it was someone who was a bit more sensible/realistic in their interviews/articles in recent years.

The biggest problem with the first Ratchet & Clank Future was that the lead designer was the president, so no one wanted to challenge his ideas, even though he wanted them to.

So next time around he was less involved.

Invisible War took a flying leak on a lot of the things that were really cool with Deus Ex, such as large environments and, damn it, inventory stuff.

I think my favorite was how everything used the same ammo. So instead of trying to balance placement of 5-10 ammo types, there's just one, so if you run out, you're fucked, but at least the designers could spend a fraction of the time placing them. Good for them.
