Its sickening that rubbish games like Wii sports can sell so many copies when games with a bit of real creativity end up making publishers a loss.. whats this going to do to the industry, incourage every dev to make short, boring ugly party games with no story & no real point just to make a bit of cash?, I hope not. Ive owned a Wii, & played Wii sports & Wii play (for all of 20mintues before getting bored) & thought both pretty rubbish as far as games go, there nothing compared to even an average 360 or PS3 game, yet now claim to be the biggest selling game of all time... It kinda makes me a little embaressed to be a gamer when shit like this is what the average member of the public thinks of as a "game"

"Wii Music got a lot of poor reviews so it's not like anyone is being a dick saying its shit. "
Games reviewers are by definition "hardcore" types. It wasnt meant for them. Try telling my 6 and 7 year old neice and nephew it's shit.. they love it. It's all part of the problem of games reviews in general.. If you make a game aimed at children, you're pretty much gauranteed a maximum score of 7 no matter how great it is.. Because the people reviewing the games, and the people who read said reviews arent interested in it... |

"Translation: There are more casual gamers than normal people. Casual gamers buy shit games and generally don't have a clue what they buy. Normal people are well informed and buy good games."
Translation : Gamers who post on games forums and read games websites have different tastes to everyone else, and look down at them snobbishly thinking they're somehow superior and have a better taste in games. Put enough sci fi geek fans together, and they'll all scoff and look down their noses at non sci fi geek fans.. Doesnt mean they're right. But of course casual gamers play games for .. shock.. fun! And that's bad isnt it? You should be playing games for the crappy story or the gore, or for yet another carbon copy fps game... etc etc.. |

You know, being snobby back about genero-shooters doesn't make you sound any more informed. Wii has done amazingly well, that doesn't mean people lose the right to get pissy about the fact that shit sells to people, even if Wii Tennis is fun for 15 minutes every now and then.
Yeah, 'gamers' play genero shooters incessantly. They also play Ico. |

">Wii Music was a faliure, in the sense that it was a load of fucking shit.
That's YOUR opinion (no doubt because it doesnt feature guns and violence). 2 million people disagree with you. " Is that the best defence you can give? "JST BECOZ IT DOZNT FEATURE GUNZ N VIOLENCE LOLZ" I'm amazed there's still a few insanely hardcore Ninties still clinging onto the rotting carcass of what was once a game company they loved. Nintendo aren't making games for us any more. Wii Music wasn't shit because it didn't have guns or violence in it, it was shit because it was dull and uninspired. Nintendo doesn't love you any more, so why do you persistently stick up for them? |
