Don't worry dude, I feel the same way and I'm only 21.

 

[quetz67]

Other then that, I don't understand some of the things you say in your OP. In the second paragraph you say games like SMG amaze you, and that R&C should learn things from it. In the third paragraph you say that R&C is just as fun as SMG, and that SMG is essentially "the same old thing"..

I love SMG, I was just referring to presentation, when I said same old 'Meh'. All the old stupid kidnapping stuff presented in the most boring way (for my taste). Completele different in R&C, one seamless experience and extremely entertaining...just that the gameplay itself isnt that good.

Completely disagree about R&C TOD compared with SMG. Though I do enjoy both, there's no comparison between the two; SMG is easily better on every aspect. I would go so far as to say that SMG's graphics please me more so than R&C's does, even accepting the fact that SMG is jaggy filled and low res (plus i'm playing on a 40" 1080p screen).

I agree on the graphics, SMG is pretty perfect, dont care if it HD. R&C on the other hands has some really ugly spots. Gameplay, no question, we have an easy winner there. But then R&C entertains you with great characters and a lot of weapons, even if they are ill balanced.

It's quetz 67, guys. He's claimed to have purchased a Wii before and sold it because he hated the controller.

 

[donkey show]

Sounds like you love weapons! How adult!

so what? this thread is clearly about the games. I dont care about the controller if the game is good, thats why I rebought a Wii once the games were there. I enjoyed them but not as much as I hoped, that is all

 

[Yaweee]

I've never sold a system in a my life, and I consistently laugh at the people who sell and buy again at a loss.

 

[NeonBlade]

I can safely say, my last Nintendo system was the Cube, and it will be for a long time. Me and Nintendo have just gone in different directions. I just cannot justify myself owning a Wii for 4 games, and one of those I don't like which is Smash. ( I didn't like it on N64, didn't like it on Cube ). I'm sorry.

 

[quetz67]

Sounds like you love weapons!

not really, but they give the game some variety, that I admit SMG achieves with less gadgets.

 

[beelzebozo]

I'm sorry.

i forgive you.

there is something missing in your life if you think people care about you wanting to sell your system.

Are you going to make a new thread every time you rebuy the Wii?

 

[donny2112]

If it makes you happy to sell the Wii and play the games you're used to on the PS3, go for it. I do support the other comments here that question the financial intelligence in buying, selling, and rebuying consoles, as well as the comments that question the worthiness of this as a thread topic, though.

 

[DeaconKnowledge]

Are you going to make a new thread every time you rebuy the Wii?

Nah. he'll quietly re-buy it then bless us with another "I'm selling my Wii!" threat again.

 

[stilgar]

"system war threads, you'll avoid like a plague"

4 games? Man, glad my local store carries the full library. If you think there are only 4 games on Wii worth owning then your opinion is at best based in complete ignorance, whether you like the damn Wii or not.

 

[Tobor]

Nah. he'll quietly re-buy it then bless us with another "I'm selling my Wii!" threat again.

Oh, joy. I patiently count the days.

 

[Talamius]

I love how adult gameplay boils down to shooting

The ironic thing is that the hardcore shooter online communities are usually filled with the 12 year olds, while the games that are more casual/"kiddy" in nature are filled with adults. Hot Shots Golf PS3 is a perfect example of that.

People claiming that Nintendo is too kiddy have obviously never had a drunken Mario Party/Kart/SSB get together. There's nothing kiddy about having to drink a shot when you lose a star in MP.

 

[JzeroT1437]

This reminds me of my old epic thread "I think I've gotten too old to eat Fruity Gushers".

 

[Hadji]

The only thing that I respect that is on the Wii is No More Heroes. That is a game that belongs on one of the other consoles.

More games need blood.

Are you serious?

 

[tinfoilhatman]

I wanted NEXT GEN nintendo games. Instead, they gave us wii. That's when I grew out of Nintendo age and embraced MS+SONY.

I agree, but it's a bit hard to argue with stuff like:

More games need blood.

I guess some people don't realize that most adults don't look for games that focus on pointless violence, profanity, and (faux) sexuality.

How old are you? :lol

Some people are just too cool for school. Great, grand we get it. Go play Grand Theft Space Shooter 18 and shut the fuck up.

Good Lord. :lol

They only condition to determine whether you respect a game or not, is if it has blood in it? :lol
Who exactly are the "kid" and "adult" in this thread?

 

[Sadist]

I hope I never outgrow Nintendo

No seriously. It would be a shame if I couldn't enjoy myself anymore with Mario, Zelda or another typical Nintendo franchise. What's left to do with my favourite hobby? The day I outgrow Nintendo, will be the day I'm quiting gaming. Really.

 

[avatar299]

There are so many ways to troll Nintendo.

 

[wazoo]

There is no problem at getting tired of Nintendo games, but it is a bit stupid of making a thread about it.

At least people grewing out of GAF do not post here to tell us.

 

[Tobor]

Are you serious?

Why would I be joking? A case of beer and Mario Party is just as fun now that I'm 31 as it ever was before.

There's something right in here.

 

[Teknoman]

Grow out of Nintendo? Pfft.

 

[Sadist]

I second this.

On the Cube I had countless matches with Smash Bros. with buddies and the loser had to drink. To funny. And playing Wii Sports drunk is even funnier.

 

[stilgar]

Grow out of Nintendo? Pfft.

It fits so well:lol :lol :lol

Seconded in your despise though.

 

[Mistouze]

True dat but casuals go back to a kiddy state when having to select something in a videogame menu.

 

[dkeane]

We used to do shots with Mario Golf. Take a drink for par, a shot for bogey. Give a drink for birdie, give a shot for eagle. Everyone drinks for a hole in one.

 

[hokahey]

I get together with a group of men in their 30's every other Thursday to drink beer and play video games. More often than not those games are Nintendo games.

Mario Strikers

Smash Bros.

Mario Tennis

Wii Sports

Madden

Beach Spikers

Time Splitters 2

Lazer Hockey

and so on...

 

[DeaconKnowledge]

My friends and I are the same way for Mario and Sonic at the Olympics.

Mario Kart is the king of games for this reason; drunken mayhem and cursing when you lose first place due to a carefully timed red shell is the epitome of fun.

 

[Pureauthor]

Uh, guys, while I don't mean to disparage your personal experiences, I'm sure that most, if not all, multiplayer based games are absolutely hilarious when drunk, regardless of the actual quality of the games.

 

[djtiesto]

Yeah, I was "growing" out of Nintendo in the N64 age... the lack of a solid games lineup, worldwide switch to 3D, lack of 3rd party support, and most importantly, lack of RPGs... turned me onto the PS1 and the Saturn. But now, more than ever, I find myself way more interested in what Nintendo has to offer... I am just so sick of the typical hyper-realistic, over-the-top, violent FPSes and ghetto games and yearly sequel cashins and EA sports games, that something like Mario Galaxy is like a total breath of fresh air. Apart from the genres I grew up with (RPG, shmup, sidescroller, fighter), Nintendo is one of the few companies left (Capcom would be another) making more modern day games that I enjoy.

 

[DeaconKnowledge]

Uh, guys, while I don't mean to disparage your personal experiences, I'm sure that most, if not all, multiplayer based games are absolutely hilarious when drunk, regardless of the actual quality of the games.

I think the point being made is that the "kiddyness" of the game largely doesn't matter to a group of drunken idiots, much in the same vein as a Rainbow Six or Halo 3.

 

[Jokeropia]

Many people "grow out of" Nintendo at around 14 or so as they only want to play "mature" games with blood and titties. Fortunately, most evolve from this stage as they grow up for real, but some are still stuck there mentally.

 

[Segata Sanshiro]

Uh, guys, while I don't mean to disparage your personal experiences, I'm sure that most, if not all, multiplayer based games are absolutely hilarious when drunk, regardless of the actual quality of the games.

Doesn't even have to be multiplayer! My friends and I would often partake of drunken Fox Hunt back in the day. Now *that* was funny.

 

[Lobster]

What exactly is Nintendo age?

Great games?

Great games with great gameplay?

Great games with great gameplay and bright graphics?

Hell not all Nintendo games have bright cheerful graphics.

Zelda? F-Zero? Metroid?

Growing out of Nintendo is like saying you grew out of great games because of their bright graphics..

 

[Tobor]

I think the point being made is that the "kiddyness" of the game largely doesn't matter to a group of drunken idiots, much in the same vein as a Rainbow Six or Halo 3.

Exactly. Also, what's more mature than a character named "Dry Bones"? The defense rests.

 

[Cheez-It]

Ohhh, right. I'm sure playing a TPS, FPS, or RPG would be mind-numbingly fun while drinking! Totally!

Especially with friends who aren't interested in gaming as we might be.

 

[phalestine]

Don't confuse HD with NEXT GEN, Wii is Next GEN, but its not HD. I thought everybody knew that :|

You've never played a round of Command and Conquer: Red Alert at a party? The ladies love that one.

 

[Pureauthor]

I'm not sure which RPGs are multiplayer based. Unless you are, of course, referring to MMORPGs, in which case I can testify that yes, it is indeed very fun.

As for TPS and FPS games, if you can't see how being so drunk you can see straight would make for wondrous gameplay sessions, then, my good men, there is no hope for you.

 

[Hadji]

Nah, I just appreciate games that have a higher level of maturity. Blood doesn't necessarily make a game "better", it is just that I'm sick of games where a character is stabbed in the face without seeing any blood where it should be.

Pretty much everything Nintendo has this problem. This is only a problem when the game attempts to be realistic of course. I wouldn't mind to see custard ooze out of a gomba when Mario jumps on top of one though.

 

[Lobster]

Exactly. Also, what's more mature than a character named "Dry Bones"? The defense rests.

And I've never seen a crash as bad as the ones in Mario Kart.

You do a fucking 1440!
