if i try to say why, i will get banned. i hope Mods don't take this as troll. because i am not.
but you know what, i will try to say it and try to be gentle as much as i can. and hope Mods don't think i am trolling.
here it goes. i think Nintendo is arrogant. i think that they want to do things their way and forgetting what gamers want. and i hate this kind of companies. since the day they sold out Rare to MS and i started hating them. since the day Zelda on GC turned from the awesome looking video of Zelda space word 2K to the cartoony one.
all they cared about is what they want to do. and letting most of the fans pissed off for no reason.
and yet, they do it again. they release what is basically a GC machine. add to that a remote instead of controller. change the design of the system. rename it to Wii and sell it for 250$.
yeah they are cheaper than PS3 and Xbox 360. but both 360 and PS3 are expensive because they have advance technology inside. what does Wii have to justify the price of the console ????
i have been playing PS2/GC since 2001. its been 6 years. i am not gona spend a 250$ on a PS2 or GC with wiimote whatever you wana call it.
once they get the price done right, then i will buy the system.
i know that one person like me wouldnt even make nintendo blink seeing how amazingly they are selling. but i do find what i say is logical and right.
so. while others love their Wii and enjoy it [Mods, don't make sex out of this sentence and give me new horrible tag ] i will be playing other games on my next gen consoles.
at the end. as long as everyone is happy gamer, then that is all what counts right?
You know the thing I hate the most about this generation is that it's about what people believe. This thing is drawing lines in the sand worse than people do with religion and it's starting to get to me.
You see the problem is that I believe everything you're saying, but the other way around, with Microsoft and Sony being the arrogant ones. I'm about to go off to college, and there's no way in hell I'll be able to afford this stuff from here on out. Maybe in 4-8 years, we'll see.
The fact is, from what I'm seeing they're like a bunch of other corporations that are trying to raise the status quo because it means more money. DVD and SDTVs have reached their peak in revenue and can only go down from here as people are continually becoming fed up with stale offerings on DVD, movies that aren't even worth the $10 of admission, and cable with a majority of TV shows not worth watching. Of course this isn't the opinion of everyone, but people are slowly converting as they're getting tired of it all.
So the only thing to do next is to move on to something new, and like all things in the technology business, it means stronger, faster, higher resolution. They're trying to tie things into the PC business model which I shun because of the constant upgrade, upgrade, upgrade. If you spend say $300 every two years on a new SD card plus games, you're spending way more on your PC than a console.
So Sony has $600? and $60 dollar games? Isn't this one of the reasons people hated the N64? Blue ray discs cost how much again? And Microsoft? $400 and I have to pay extra for wifi? Also with the $60 games? And extra for online gaming? To play with strangers that I'll rarely want to randomly add to my buddy list anyway? **** that. Wanna know why they're doing all this? To start over with when DVDs came into the fold but add TVs too. Means more money for everybody. Hell no.
The Wii is more powerful than a GCN. The remote also is a very advanced piece of technology made cheap, something that Sony and Microsoft can't do. I don't even care about the games as long as they're fun, and different. I generally buy one or two fighting games, one or two racing games, one good FPS game, and then the bulk of everything else I like on consoles are action/adventure, rpg, and multiplayer based. But nowadays I doubt they even want me to leave my home for the multiplayer. They'd rather me stay at home so I can use my whole screen rather than go out and socialize. What they should be doing is making more multiplayer games that have all characters sharing the same screen at once.
I've even thought about waiting for a price drop, but that also means I have to save to buy all the games I missed, some of which may be only found on eBay by then, and because the GCN/Xbox is dead, with the PS2 hanging up its cape, I'll be without home console gaming for a year or two. Uh-uh. No no. No way at all is that acceptable.
So on Wii I have games that do what I want for a pricepoint that I want. I loved Twilight Princess (although I'll be honest and say the end fell a little bit flat for me), I've had fun with Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Everyone is on screen at once. I'm looking forward next to Alien Syndrome and Strikers Charged. I need to finally go buy Excite Truck as I was borrowing it from a friend to the point where I was halfway through Super Excite anyway. I will be buying Metroid. I'll be thanking God if Mario Galaxy makes it this year as this fall is super charged. And Brawl will be the last game I ever really need. Anything else will just be for the variety of different genres and game play options. Hell just wait until E3. I'm thinking I might actually like Soul Caliber Adventures
So yeah, this is what makes me a happy gamer. And I'm going to hate fighting like this but this is what those three did to us. Lines were drawn in the sand. Shots were fired. People are crying. And in this first year alone many of us have been banned.
And truth be told I ****in hate this. Why can't we all have both?
