the wii is gone!

[Crushed]

i enjoyed them about the same, along with my pc

[demi]

You have to say it in a language he understands...

You can haz ps2 enjoyment??

[Van Cruncheon]

he is a dirty ninthing, i no longer consider crushed worth taking seriously

[Crushed]

you didn't answer my question. ps2 or gamecube: which would you pick?

and i'm telling you, i couldn't pick just one

if i was forced to pick one, i would gouge out the eyes of my interrogator and play the pc

[cool breeze]

I actually do like the Wii, because I am a big fan of Nintendo games, and this system provides them on rare occasions.  The difference between this and the Gamecube is that in terms of third party games, you aren't even getting ports of PS2 or Xbox games anymore.  Someone who only owns a Wii as their main system really does have slim pickings for games worth playing; I am even using the term 'worth playing' really loosely here, considering I would say No More Heroes is 'worth playing' despite how bad many aspects of that game are.  I don't think Wii is a bad second console to a good PC, the 360, or even the PS3.  It is cheap, small, and can provides enjoyment every few months.

but I still don't understand the obsession with The Conduit.  Why is anyone excited about an FPS that looks to be below the level of something like Haze or Turok? It is so confusing.  If you want a good FPS game, buy a PC, 360, or PS3.

True, let's put him on ignore along with dfyb

*enjoys ps2 and pc equally as nintendo*

how is that ninthing

[Van Cruncheon]

because the gamecube is nowhere approximating the ps2 for quality, much less the pc

you are mixing shit with pearls, you are a ninthing

[Crushed]

i enjoyed the games as much in terms of gameplay, it is equal to me 

[Guybrush Threepwood]

Go buy a Dreamcast

That goes for everyone in this thread.

It's okay, you don't have to say something distinguished mentally-challenged to "make me look good" I am proud of my opinions.

I was actually looking at my Dreamcast storage bin yesterday and realized that I still have an RF connector for it.  I need to pick up a VGA one or something better.  I also need a new memory card.

[Van Cruncheon]

that is because you are a ninthing and did not experience the full ps2 (or pc) library, preferring to spend your idle hours abusing your gamer cred by playing smash brothers. had you proper gaming experience, you would not dare to utter such stupidity. your ninthingery led you down this path, and therefore it defines you. i am lowering myself to even speak to you. you are the lowest caste of "gamer".

Not really, no, I played videogames that were fun for me. Perhaps it is YOU who are the low caste of gamer.

[Van Cruncheon]

demi, did it speak to me? could we please perfume this thread to remove its disgusting reek?

[Oblivion]

What I don't get is why some of you would WANT third parties to dedicate resources to work on Wii games. I mean, doesn't that go against the whole wanting games in HD thing?

[demi]

I can't tell, all I see is "This user is ignored."

[Crushed]

Mock me if you wish, you false and evil daemon, your wicked power holds no sway o'er me.

[Van Cruncheon]

we desire the wii removed from the marketplace entirely, and all of those who purchased the wii as their primary console offering scoured from the hobby. this will never happen, and so we must endure the shameful nattering of the non-gamers, who place sales and novelty above all else. disgusting!

[demi]

icky! i would never rub one out to those who enjoy such a thing. you are not worth my personal enjoyment.

[cool breeze]

I wouldn't mind more budget arcade/puzzle games for the Wii like Boom Blox.  Simple games that can provide occasional amusement and are still enjoyable when you have company.  And more lightgun games.  I wouldn't mind it if Star Wars Arcade got ported or something either.

[Eel O'Brian]

I've actually been enjoying my reWii so far.

House of the Dead 2 &3 are great fun, and I'll probably buy another controller/perfect shot setup for two-fisted action (and for co-op with my friend who also likes light gun games).

That Link shooting game I got for $5 was worth it, neat little time-killer.

I took back Super Mario Galaxy - got annoyed with running upside down after a while.  Just not for me.

I also took back RE4.  I owned it before I sold my Wii to demi, thought I'd give the control scheme another chance.  Nope, still don't like it, always find myself aiming at the ground and shit when lots of enemies get near.  I prefer the PS2 controls.

Took the return money (I take advantage of the 7 day Gamestop used game return policy all the time), and bought Mario Kart Wii.  That's actually a lot of goofy fun.  The wheel works well, at least for me.  I was surprised at the online multiplayer, it's one of the smoothest online experiences I've ever had.  I was connected and racing within twenty seconds.  As a bonus, I didn't have to hear anyone talk.

Gonna Gamefly most Wii games, or buy them used for cheap.  Think I'll try RE Umbrella Chronicles next, and after that Ghost Squad.

I guess the Wii is worth it to me for light gun games and a few other random FPS games like MOH: Heroes.  Can't complain about the graphics, really, considering I still play blocky-assed PS1 games on the PSP.  Looking forward to the new HotD: Overkill (that Sega dude's quote about it beating the shit out of horse grooming made me laugh).

I think there'll be some decent stuff in 2009, just not a lot.  Which is fine.  The Wii is my "whatever, whenever" machine, I'll do my in-depth console gaming on PS3 and 360.

[Crushed]

ah ignore lists. demi and drinky join their intellectual peers: foc, sfags, and gaffots

crushed victory? seems so

[demi]

Did you do the Twilight Hack?

[Eel O'Brian]

Did you do the Twilight Hack?

haven't received my copy from gamefly yet, but I will!

You can do Wiiware games on it, right?

[demi]

You can

Go on demonoid or other torrent site and search for "wiiware" - it should help you get some games lined up

Then again, there are no good games on WiiWare at all

[Eel O'Brian]

there are a couple of shooting games, though, and I like even bad shooting games

[Smooth Groove]

Wii is terrible for real gamers and I'm not even ashamed to say that Nintendo used to be my favorite console gaming company.  They were one of the few console companies that weren't bringing out games that would be better on the PC.  Nintendo lost its way after the N64 lost the battle when it started to expand its market by catering to the Leapfrog consumers.   

[cool breeze]

Lost Winds is pretty fun.  I actually bought that the day it came out and enjoyed it a bit. 

[Eel O'Brian]

i think i might pick up brothers in arms doubletime as a rental next month, too

the bia games aren't bc on 360 (fuck you for stopping your bc updates, MS), and i've read that bia: earned in blood won't play correctly on vista at all

the ps2 versions were awful

i want to play through them again before i get into hell's highway, though

[TVC15]

How could someone enjoy the GC and PS2 equally?  That just doesn't make sense.  The GC is Nintendo's worst console from a game perspective (er, well, it was until Wii hit) and the PS2 is Sony's best.  If you enjoyed them equally, it's only because you didn't try enough PS2 games.  PS2 absolutely stomped all comers in the games library department by a huuuuuuuuuuge margin.  I can probably spend the rest of my life playing catch-up ont he PS2 library, whereas I can play everything worth mentioning on the GC in the space of a few days.

[demi]

Crushed has Aspies

[Crushed]

hey, i'm just relating my own opinion

[Eel O'Brian]

I want CarnEvil on the Wii

they had that game at the bowling alley here in town, great cheesy fun

[TVC15]

hey, i'm just relating my own opinion

My opinion is that you should look into the PS2 library, which you apparently haven't.

[drohne]

wii is objectively the worst console ever. given infinite time, there are perhaps a half-dozen wii games it wouldn't kill you to play -- but your time is finite, you have access to other gaming platforms, and there's no reason wii should claim a moment of your attention. i'd sell mine if i weren't convinced that its absence would eventually reproduce the irrational consumerist void that caused me to buy the pos in the first place

liking gc and ps2 equally because you've only played a handful of ps2 games isn't an opinion; it's a lack of the information you'd need to form an opinion

[Crushed]

hey, i'm just relating my own opinion

My opinion is that you should look into the PS2 library, which you apparently haven't.

eh, i bought the ps2 games which interested me, no reason for me to buy ones i don't want

This sounds like an evolution of the old GC/N64-era Ninthing excuse of I DON'T NEED TOO MANY GAMES TO PLAY ANYWAY.  You drank so much koolaid that you believe it now.

[cool breeze]

 remember playing CarnEvil a lot once because a friend dragged me to an arcade to play DDR, but that game was shit, so I just played CarnEvil all day.  I actually kind of hate that game because of that traumatic experience.

[Eel O'Brian]

i also wouldn't mind some last-gen fps remakes

i bet even shit like moh: rising sun would be fun in that rail shooter mode moh: heroes 2 has, being as the enemies in that game already spawn in a cheap rail-shooter-style

[Crushed]

This sounds like an evolution of the old GC/N64-era Ninthing excuse of I DON'T NEED TOO MANY GAMES TO PLAY ANYWAY.  You drank so much koolaid that you believe it now.

No, if I was interested in those games I'd buy them. I remember being VERY frustrated by lack of games on the N64, and I've always wanted to own multiple consoles if I had a chance.  

[Eel O'Brian]

why does everyone hate mario kart wii, it's a lot of fun to me

i haven't played a lot of the mario kart games, so i guess i'm not bored with the series

[Van Cruncheon]

i primarily hated it because miis appeared in it, but it was also homely and boring, two aspects which when combined form a cardinal sin of racing game design

Have you considered that maybe you just don't like games?  I mean, some of the few games you played on PS2 are MGS games.

I don't hate it, but I'm kind of Mario Karted out.  The gameplay just feels the same in all of them, including the GC version.  I'm sure if Mario Kart Wii was my first, I'd dig it a whole lot more.

I think you can get the last BIA PC game for free if you pre-order the last one on Steam. 

[Eel O'Brian]

mkwii is fun online, though, and surprisingly you can go online with two people on one system

ha, i don't think i even played that copy of double dash prole gave me before i traded it in - if i did i don't remember it

[cool breeze]

I think that is the reason.

Mario Kart Wii is basically a simpler version of Mario Kart DS, and that is why I didn't really enjoy it too much.  If I ever want to play Mario Kart, I have it on my DS.

nah, it's road to hill 30, the first one - earned in blood is better

i think the vista compat issues are why eib isn't on steam yet

plus, there's no way my busted-ass pc vidcard will handle hell's highway

And who wants to play Mario Kart DS when Crash Team Racing is on PSP

[drew]

who wants to play anything on the ds when there's the PSP?

[drohne]

n64 battle mode was mario kart's one moment of accidental brilliance. will the rest of the series please deposit itself in the shïtbin thank you

[Crushed]

mario kart 64 was a soulless and ugly piece of poo

worst mario kart game ever

[demi]

who wants to play anything on the ds when there's the PSP?

I was like that, then I got my Flash Cart. I can live with only partial guilt now.

[cool breeze]

And who wants to play Mario Kart DS when Crash Team Racing is on PSP

Both are fun.  I also enjoy Konami Krazy Karts (or whatever that GBA game was called) and Diddy Kong Racing (if only for planes).

And did anyone play Jak X? is that like CTR?

[Smooth Groove]

Have you considered that maybe you just don't like games?  I mean, some of the few games you played on PS2 are MGS games.

Oh har har.  

TVC is actually one of the few MGS fans here so he wasn't trolling about there being better stuff to play on the PS2.  

MGS is one of my favorite series but the games have always been kinda crap in terms of gameplay mechanics.  

[TVC15]

n64 battle mode was mario kart's one moment of accidental brilliance. will the rest of the series please deposit itself in the shïtbin thank you

I actually preferred the original game's battle mode.  Mind you, I haven't touched either in like a decade, but I recall the battle arenas in the N64 version being kinda crap, even though they were in 3D.  I remember being pretty disappointed, as the original game was one of my SNES favorites.  Again, this was like a decade ago, so who knows if what I thought is actually right.
