So I'm not looking forward to his game. I AM looking forward to Smash Bros., as I will have the chance to kick his ass all over.
I wish you'd use caps again...That was one of the more distinguishing features between a Drinky and MAF post. As it is I can't tell if you're the real Drinky or MAF in disguise.Drinky Crow said:you clearly do not understand the aggregate soul of drinky crow

That would be much more than two of the PS2 releases, and just shy of the third.PhoenixDark said:The Wii will offer a much larger base of possible buyers. It'll be interesting to see how it sells though. If it sells say 500,000 and disappears than clearly something is wrong. While that number would be good overall (and no doubt positively spun by the apologists in MC threads), it would definitely fail to meet Capcom's expectations.
Well I suppose they could've released a peripheral set for GameCube that would allow for the wiimote/sensor bar/blue light/internal storage/SD cards/wifi/USB ports/RAM (though I think it would be slower to access?), but it'd lose the opportunity to have a fresh start with a new look and name, not be able to use full-size DVDs, have no CPU/GPU upgrade, not be able to use the Wii Menu without a disc to boot it, and turn out like every other system add-on.nib95 said:As is the Wiimote could have just been a GC peripheral.

delightful.
ps: i respect the ps3 as a toy and i'm buying a ps3 as soon as it hits a console pricepoint (LBP and GT5 are system sellers for me). but sony fans are unbelievable. i'll make sure to disable any voice chat in any online ps3 games i might be playing 'cause the thought of extensive verbal communication with such individuals is plain scaring.

Quote for overall awesomeness. :lolDrinky Crow said:oh, and i should add that it is hilarious that you nintwats put your allegiance to a company over your allegiance to gaming. why would you want the casuals in our affairs? they don't buy the cave shooters, the niche rpgs, the wacky jappy rhythm busters, the matt hasselbeck sims, or the hex-based stat grinds. the wii isn't killing gaming, but neither are mini-game collections and gestural replacements for button presses a move forward. somehow, the promise of waggle-based verisimilitude coupled with the knee-jerk defense of your nostalgia has led you to sell out gaming's immediate future to not just the lowest common denominator but a denominator that played their new hardware for a couple marathon sessions of wii tennis and has now relegated it to a place behind the stack of hannah montana dvds. thanks for nothing, shitfucks!

Drinky: face it, many old gamers think next gen is just more of the same. I do have a been there, done that feeling when I play x360 games. Wii is trying to bring something new and fresh, and though the proof of concepts are still not quite there, there's a lot of faith to be had when you don't irrationally hate Nintendo. Metroïd, Mario Galaxy and PES are promising signs of wind of change in terms of controls.Drinky Crow said:ninthings are wholly incapable of not responding to me. to ignore me, they would have to be honest with themselves. there are wounds even the blue ocean cannot balm

Short-term fun, long-term fun... hmm...

No big deal, I think Japan is the only territory that the Wii has control over, fortunately in the west 360/PS3 dominate software which justifies 3rd parties to invest in high budget games, as the return on these games are huge.
Prine said:I've never sold a console i've bought before. Wii is the first. Sold it to my cousin for £100 with Wii Sport and Zelda.
You look at the release list, look at the direction Nintnedo and 3rd parties are headed, you simply relize the Wii is not going to provide the games you want.

Well, in Rogers' defense (and no, I'm generally not a fan of the guy either), he does concede that point. He also admits, to an extent, that his conclusion that a Wii MH3 will be a downgrade overall is speculation at this point.

We are in the dawn of the artform so I would not dare to say we have any "masterpieces" like the other artforms but if an 80 year old women can weld three random pieces of metal together and call it art then videogames have been art for a long long time....MrNyarlathotep said:Out of interest, Safe Bet: what games would you consider to be works of art comparable to great works of literature, film, sculpture or painting?
