thanks to tvc, i am waggling this evening
« on: December 31, 2007, 09:21:21 PM »
i have borrowed tvc's little white wii and have spent the last three hours waggling. good god is it ugly on hdtv. worst console ever. anyway, here are my experiences with its subpar library.

super mario galaxy is fun. i hate waggling to spin and pointing at star shit, so i subtract two points for that. also STORY WTF ARGH. still, when it's going, it's awesome. after beating the good egg galaxy, i put it roughly on par with sunshine, maybe a slight bit better since i imagine it doesn't fall apart in the last levels.

zelda lol. played and beat the 'pube version; no need to play the inferior version with its lack of camera controls.

zack and wiki seems cute, but the puzzle areas reset when you fail, which is cumbersome if it's a multi-part puzzle. it's a'ight, i guess. waggle waggle.

re4 wii edition seems a bit easier with pointing. first game that seems to work well with the waggle stick, and its ironically a port of a game that already had good controls. ultimately, waggle is a total marginal improvement for first- and third-person shooters.

re: umbrella chronicles is fun but really ugly. shooting zombies never gets old, but this would be much MUCH better as a ps3+guncon3 game.

scarface is really bad. the cursing button DOES provide some amusement, though.

wii play is an atrocity. wii sports is also not fun. i asked my wife to play because she is a filthy non-gamer who should like non-games, but she said it looked kinda stupid and i agreed and so there we are. i might try to get her to play bowling later. or maybe not.

tvc forgot to include metroid prime ass corruption so no go there.

jesus fuck playing this on my hdtv is like a holocaust for the eyes. i'd move it upstairs to my sdtv but tvc only included the component cables. that's right: the wii is virtually unplayable unless you DOWNGRADE your tv and connection. "optimized for s-video" should be on the box.

there you go. happy fucking new years. you'e better off spending your $250 on two bottles of johnny walker green label than this crap.

i've had a Wii for about 5 days now, still in the box  :lol I ordered a bunch of stuff from amazon but looks like they're slacking for the holidays.

After this massive HD-DVD binge i've been on this week, i'm dreading hooking it up now. It's going to look SO BAD. But this Mario thing sounds pretty good so what the hell.

Is there an EB consensus on Medal of Honor Heroes II for Wii btw? I know it's fuckugly but apparently it controls really well. I don't trust any of the sites that are saying this however.

Super Mario Galaxy gets much better. Keep playing it, Drinky.

I can't say much about the other games though. The Wii has such a crappy and limited game library. Super Paper Mario is a turd. Don't touch it with a ten foot pole. I did not enjoy RE4 on the Wii, which is strange since I loved the 'Cube version. Zelda is nice and I haven't played MP3 yet.

Well, that's the requirement to get to the final boss but there is so much more to do. I couldn't stop playing until I got all 120 stars, which I didn't even do with SM64.

Some of the later stars are quite challenging.

galaxy gets a lot harder after the first 6-10 galaxies.  those are all just really warm-up levels to teach you how to use the power-ups and physics and whatnot.  it's very easy to breeze through those.  I still suggest getting all the stars in those galaxies.

I'm at 72 stars so far and I'm not tempted to finish the game but I don't really consider the game to be that easy overall.  it's easy to figure out most of the puzzles and the game gives you a shitload of lives but most other AAA games are less challenging imo.

Wii looks okay on my 20 inch Bravia with component, but I cannot stand to play any of the Wii games that run in 480i.  They look HIDEOUS, HIDEOUS, HIDEOUS on on an HDTV.  I was so disappointed in Capcom for not making Basara 2 Heroes 480p.   :maf  Fortunately the PS2 version, while also 480i, can be played upscaled on a PS3 and not look so fucking horrible in HD.

RE4 wii is horrible, chucked that turd asap

Yup, the controls are INFERIOR too

 ::) ::) ::) ::)

You guys fucking suck.  RE4 Wii is the definitive version.  It has the best control and features, hands-down. 

...It's just too bad that it was really an un-needed port of an already awesome game with great control.  That said, it DOES still rock.

I tried lyte, I really wanted to get into it again, but the turning in RE4 Wii felt borked to me, and clunky.  It was like RE4 GC finally made the tank controls work well, and then they had to go and shit it up just to show off that they still know how to shit up RE games.

Weaksauce.

The game doesn't get any where near the definition of hard until the last few comet and hidden stars if the last two galaxies. 

110 stars in and its just become challenging 5 stars ago.

i've been saying this forever as well.  to be fair, the wii looks "decent" on a high-end plasma.  i finally upgraded my tv this x-mas to a 50" panny and the wii is more tolerable than it has ever been. 

still, the wii is such a damn eyesore, AAA 10.0 awesome gameplay or not.  there's only so much a graphics whore can get out of it.
