We Love Golf! Comments by Tom Bramwell

wow amazing graphics! they must be pushing upwards of a thousand polygons!

next gen really has arrived.

/who'd have thunk a game called "We Love Golf!!!" would be for the Wii?

The bold cartoony style looks cool enough, but for god sake, can we get some AA in there!

WHAT THE FUCK?

OK, we all know the Wii contains a pathetic graphics engine but FFS! This is getting ridiculous now, WTF is that supposed to be? It looks like a very poor PS1 game from the mid 90's. Yes I know smelly and the rest of the Wii apologists will say "but teh gameplay is teh good innit" but these screenshots are a joke (not a funny one either)

NICE SHOT!
....

SHITE GRAPHICS!

Dudes. There's a whole DS section for you guys with even shittier PS1 era graphics to play in! Why don't I ever see you over there? PSP rulez!

Oh wait, it must be because the DS has been out for much longer and has been a continuous success in every way, despite desperate little mudstains like yourself bawling hard enough about GRFX11 to power a small town. You've already realized your irrelevance there a while ago. ;)

I guess that time will come for the Wii as well, when the kids tire themselves out. No worries there. :)

difference is the DS is allowed to have shit graphics because it's portable

What about the PSP? I even mentioned it. The PSP is the real nextgen of portables, it has the GFX!

You don't remember the early days of the DS at all, do you. ;)

ooooh, that must be embarrassing for you!

Woo you got me there! Wait, wasn't there something else? Oh right, you cut out and quoted exactly what you wanted to hear! It's fine, I understand. ;)

My next post from that same thread (replying to another comment that was apparently retarded enough to get deleted):

^lol guy, I don't own any new consoles just yet. Oops. ;3

You're working on assumptions, kiddo. I was only disappointed because if I'd ever wanted to play the extra stuff, I'd have to see the RE4 I knew and loved all cut up, and I'm not lying here. But if my comment annoyed one of the sony fanbots who cried so hard about Nintendo getting all the RE's, then that's great! (Oooh see the irony in that post? Haha!)

So, if you can tell from the post, that was about shoehorning an existing game into a platform it didn't quite fit on, instead of building one for that platform from the ground up. We see downport issues like that all the time, it's especially bad when you already know the game. Though I have a feeling you're not going to admit this fact.

On the other hand I must humbly admit, like you might have noticed, I also enjoyed showing that link to any playstation generation kids who actually believed the game was an exact port, while they could have just said "hey, it still plays the same!" which then would have ended the argument. So you see, I understand you better than you think. ;)


So, back to the issue at hand (saved by the bell greg? Not today!), like I said, it'll be the DS all over again. The whining of it not being as powerful as the PSP just died down under the overwhelming force of it just being a great platform with great hardware features and a library that eventually grew to wondrous proportions, and this time it'll be no different. Now get off my lawn.


Oh and Supine, I didn't see you anymore after that other thread where I called you on getting really wound up over people getting wound up over stuff on the internet. Oh well!

HOLY FUCK! I can count the amount of textures used in that first screenshot on one hand! :O

OMFG!

KILL IT! :O

my what a lengthy retort...

all i said was this game has shitty graphics. are you disagreeing with that?

i also said the DS is allowed to have shitty graphics because it's portable. then you said the PSP is portable and doesn't have shitty graphics. well maybe i should have said "the DS is allowed to have shitty graphics because it's portable, it has a unique control system and it's nintendo and everyone will by anything they make"

Graphics aren't everything, but they are something.

exactly. if no one cared about graphics no one would buy new consoles.

@Kryon: I look at it .. and it looks pretty to me.

They've gone for a cartoony style.. and they've acheived it.

Not every game has to be super realistic grey fests you know :-)

>exactly. if no one cared about graphics no one would buy new consoles.

So why is everyone buying the wii then? :-)

because of the unique controller, obviously.

are you saying it would still sell if it didn't have that? hell no it wouldn't because the graphics are last gen

"the DS is allowed to have shitty graphics because it's portable, it has a unique control system and it's nintendo and everyone will by anything they make"

Unique control system, loyal fanbase (guess why? Nintendo games. No other platform has them whether you like them or not, simple as that). Hmm, reminds me of another console. ;)


are you saying it would still sell if it didn't have that? hell no it wouldn't because the graphics are last gen

The 4 grayscale gameboy screen was horrible compared to other handhelds out at the same time. It didn't control any differently, but it had the games, and used less batteries while lasting longer. And it crushed the competition to bits.
The Wii also has that ease of use regardless of graphics and controls, it's tiny in size and uses less power (these things matter to some), and most importantly it has the Nintendo games. Sure it wouldn't sell as well as it does now without the controls, but... if you think nobody would buy it you're just silly.

the gameboy sold because it had the most games.

the wii however sorely lacks good games

the wii however sorely lacks good games

Definitely does at the moment, but there's a lot of stuff coming out in the next months, so that situation is slowly changing. Zack and Wiki looks to me, as an old PC gamer, like one of the most interesting titles across all platforms this winter, and that's not even first-party.

We Love Golf looks indeed utterly horrible though.

It's appears they've started to take on human form!

"because of the unique controller, obviously.

are you saying it would still sell if it didn't have that?"


But you're telling me people only buy consoles for the graphics?

so far, yes, of course. what was people's motivation to buy a megadrive when they already had a master system? what was their reason to buy a playstation when they already have a 16 bit console? people are attracted to pretty things and polygons. of course graphics isn't the ONLY reason but it's probably the biggest, although the trend can be turned on its head as exampled first by the DS - which outsells the PSP mainly because it's unique control system allows for new types of games and ways of interacting with them and then the wii. yes it also has marginally more games and generally the games are aimed better at what portables are good for - quick gaming sessions on the train or whatever - but i do strongly believe if the DS didn't have the touch screen it wouldn't have been nearly as competitive compared to the PSP, which has obviously better looking games.

the wii has continued nintendo's aim of adding another path for game technology. in the past it was ALWAYS about more processing power, more polygons, nicer looking games, but now we've gone pretty far with graphics and it's inevitable that companies like nintendo will look more into new ways of interacting with games and possibly new ways of viewing games, with VR and such. the way games are headed, and have always headed, is towards total immersion, and that can't happen simply with a joypad and tv screen no matter how amazingly pretty your engine is. the player is still just watching a tv and using a joypad in an unrealistic, un-natural way. the future is total immersion and you'll see in the years to come that other factors besides graphics will come into play more.

however, because trends are deviating from just graphics, it's no excuse to sell sub-last-gen-looking games on current gen hardware. consumers expect games to be at the edge of what the consoles can do - and this game certainly doesn't do that.

Nope, it doesn't. Blame Capcom, it's their game.

You're still ignoring the Gameboy. Do you know how painful it was to look at that tiny monochrome screen after having experienced some of the full-colour graphics on the Gamegear or Atari Lynx?

But in the end, it didn't matter crap. The GB didn't have any kind of advanced control scheme (it had less buttons than the Lynx in fact) yet we all know what happened. It had the convenience, it had the Nintendo software support. Sure it had little graphical power compared to the competition, yet with some good pixel art (Link's Awakening, Mario Land 2 and 3, etc) nobody even cared, after getting past the lack of colour and the low resolution.

The Wii simply has a combination of a lot of things. If it was just the motion control, don't you think the PS3 would be doing just a bit better?

I mostly see anti-Wii people as elitists who cannot stomach the fact that one company is completely ignoring what they think is most important in games (namely graphical power), yet can still be successful. Oh my god it's an outrage!

And it's the same for me (and many other people it seems) with the wii.

Yes it doesnt have the hi-def wanky graphics of the other 2 (which i'm becomming more interested in now i have a hi-def tv myself!). But it has (or will have) charms such as metroid 3, mario galaxy, smash bros, pikmin, mario kart, battilion wars, etc etc..

Which the other two just wont get games like that, preferring instead to just rely on fps and hard core racing games.

Yes i know that those games mentioned arent everyones cup of tea, but then again same can be said for the type of games the 360 is getting (for example), everyone has their own tastes...

Sure the games are few and far between, but if you have the best platformer (or fps, or beat-em-up, or kart game), why do you need anything else?

Besides we all know the 3rd parties are jumping in now, so even the "no-games" argument will disappear very soon.

the reason the gameboy won over the game gear is that the latter was too big, used 8 or 10 batteries which was ridiculous, especially since most people didn't use battery chargers then. it would eat through the batteries in about 2 or 3 hours whereas the gameboy which went 8+ hours on just 2 AAs. and it wasn't just the hardware problems that made the game gear a failure, it was that nintendo simply had too many good gameboy games and the gameboy itself was already immensely popular. the game gear never really became cool.

So, greg, we've gone past a whole lot of things that are more important than GPU power by now. "Yeah but this, but that..." Are you finally ready to admit there's more to games than pixel shaders?

erm, i've been saying that all along, as is quite obvious from my posts.

but this game still looks shit. they could have done an amazing job implimenting the wiimote but the graphics are still laughably bad, even for a wii game, and that's because the developer has cut a lot of corners and hasn't bothered its ass making a graphically immersive game.

sorry but some upskirt shots aren't going to persuade me otherwise

yay. Atari Lynx, Gamegear and Gameboy wars.

Gamegear was best. no doubt about it.

Man! I really wanna jizz on her stupid face.

A pedophile? Well, it's not a surprise, really. :(

Pedophile? I think you'll find it's spelt Paedophile in this neck of the woods, unless you are Canadian or American (if so, you have my condolences).

Besides Nikanoru, I've never seen a child that looks like that before? Have you? Children didn't look like poorly designed 8-bit Wii characters last time I checked, anyway, I'm not the one infatuated with playing kiddy games. C-mon, we all know the real reason why grown men like you and smelly 'play' on the DS so much. PictoChat isn't it? Let me give you a realistic example of one of your PictoChat convos-

Nikanoru to lil johnny:

Hey there sweet child, mmmmm I've got some Jesus juice at my place.

Lil Johnny:

Leave me alone Mr! I'm telling my mummy, boohoo!

Nikanoru:

No please! Don't tell! I'll let you play SMG on my little Wii-Wii if you give me a BJ


It's all too easy to call paedophile (well, it is if you can spell it) but a word from the wise - He who smelt it dealt it! FACT! ;-)

Ooooh I hit a snare there didn't I? Haha. :D






PS: at the risk of this sounding like a serious reply: I'm not a native English speaker, so be glad I even make the effort to attempt some proper grammar. ;)

Lol, are you from Thailand by any chance? I hear it's easier for guys like you over there ;-)

Is it just me or does this bare more than a passing resemblance to Everybody's Golf?

Graphics look nice to me, dunno what you crazy buggers are on about.

Come on Kryon, you're not going to pull attention away from the fact that you just linked to a picture of what looks like a toddler by anyone's standards, and went "I want to jizz on her face".

You totally set yourself up for that one, you should have seen it coming. :p

To me it looks like a 'super deformed' cartoon character. It has no age. If you honestly think these look like children then I guess the up skirt shots are really turning you on eh, or what about the self anal fisting shot! You dirty, DIRTY man!

Listen mate, I know sex fiends like you are always on the lookout for others of your type to swap materials with and form a pedo ring but I'm not into that stuff, try your Wii-Wii friend smelly, I heard he had naked snaps of Pokoyo for trade. XD

Hehehe XD

Oh my. Why the vehement defense? You seem very serious about convincing me that it is not a child depicted in that image.

This, your quickly retracted coming-out-of-the-closet, your insistence on me using the correct term for kiddie-fucker, and your intimate knowledge of Japanese child characters (I had to google "Pokoyo"), makes me wonder. Did I really hit a little too close to home?

They were your words, not mine! Afraid they'll haunt you forever? LOL

LULZ, Nikanoru just admitted he sits up at night googling for naked pics of Pokoyo!!!111!!!!

Ban him, someone! I fear for the children who visit EG! XD

Haha, no dice, old chap. ;)

Dice? Oh, you mean the little square things with dots on them that you use to play strip poker with underage boys? No, I have none, I don't really have a need for them ;-)

Wow, I really think I drove him to the edge. He's become a gibbering mess like his good pal smelly.

I almost feel guilty now. Wait. No I don't. :D

LMAO, Nikanoru, I know our friendship started out rocky but over the months you've grown on me. I kinda see you like my pet hamster now and I may be a bit mean to you sometimes but I would never ever mess around with your boyfriend smelly. I know how much that would hurt you and I'm just not that cruel! You're being paranoid man!

If you and smelly have fallen out, just put on a pair of Mario panties and show him a good time tonight, I'm sure after you play with his Wii, all will be forgiven. ;-)

No, no, I insist. He's your boyfriend, you may keep 'im.

OMG? Is Nikanoru am cry? :'(

/puts hand on Nikanorus shoulder comfortingly...

Listen mate, don't give up so easily, I know smelly told you that he loves me and doesn't want you anymore, but you know I don't feel the same way. You two are so compatible, like two Wii's in a gaybar. I could never take that away from you....Just talk to him, it'll be fine, you'll see mate..

Well I can understand you're not interested in him, because he's (technically) an adult after all. That's not quite up your alley, you're right. ;)

"not quite up your alley"

Damn right mate! The only "alley" smelly is "up" is your one ;-)
