Wiiiiii! Gaming fun!

Haha!! Wii Mote wrist bands are breaking while people are throwing it like a baseball resulting in destroyed plasma screen tvs. How will u play any real games on a Wii, War Games, HD games, etc. Don't Get Wii stick with PS3.

the post i made just prior to yours didn't just go over your head, it went into orbit and took satellite photos of your head as it was passing over.

the wii outputs at 480p, which technically speaking is HD. that aside, i basically said in my previous post "why care about graphics quality before gameplay quality?" to which you replied, "the wii sucks 'cause it doesn't have HD." there is no reason you can't/won't be able to play war games on the wii. i'm not aware of any specific titles or release dates at this very moment, but that doesn't remove the possibility that war games will be developed. finally, as to your comment about the wii-mote being thrown into tvs, my guess is that's user error and not equipment failure. if you're dumb enough to try to make a throwing motion in a virtual setting with the same amount of force you'd use in the real setting, well then it's your own fault if your tv gets busted. the wii-mote isn't like having 100% true virtual reality. it's just a step in the right direction. a step in a new direction i should say. and once again, as i've said in the past, it's a major reason as to why i'd like to have a wii.

there is a war game coming out for the wii called Batallion Wars 2 if you mean by controlling an army. plus, the wii is the perfect console for fps games which is obvious. the wiimote can almost serve as a mouse in which you can play rts games like starcraft (blizzard is pondering the idea) oh, and about hd games, who gives a flyin jesus fuk? if the hd game sucks, what good is the $59.99 - $69.99 you spent on it? "YO GUYS I GOT THIS HOT NEW GAMES GRAPHICS ARE HOT CMON LETS GO LOOK AT IT. DAM IT BE LOOKIN HOT AS FUK NA MEAN"

Haha Necro, I like it when you say stuff!

About the wii-motes wrist bands... Ya... They work without being tossed around like crazy. People who break them are just idiots. I'm pretty sure in reality you could use it without no wristband at all.

I was going to buy a Wii but then I changed my mind. So I just bought an XBOX 360. Woo!

FYI, just got home from returning my 360. Haha. Now I am a flip floppin son of a gun.

Starting now I am officially holding out for a Wii. PLEASE GOD I WANT ONE!! WHY ARE YOU SOLD OUT? WHY!!!

PS3's are available now, but people are just not buying them, while Wii continues to be sold out the moment they are stocked.

The original XBOX outputs at 480p. Enough said. Graphics aside, Nintendo has always seemed like the family-friendly console company. They make "cute" kids games more than anything else, in my opinion. I've never seen the appeal of it, myself, but hey to each their own. X360 ftw.

When it comes to PS3 vs xbox 360 I still prefer the xbox. My problem with console gaming is the horrid lack of games. I know you probably think there are many games but that just is not true. All the "good" games are shooters. It's like a million versions of halo. There is no depth to console gaming.

I come from the time of complete PC gaming dominance. We had EVERYTHING. For example, a variety of great RPGs in all kinds of settings (Fallout, NVN, and so on) all consoles have, basically, is morrowind (which is available on the PC). Some PC games were revolutionary. For example Homeworld, that game was brilliant.

We're now in the heralded time of the console and what do they have to offer us? Gears of War, a rehash of tired old uninspired genre, first person shooters. Shooters, by the way, were perfected on the PC and consoles have brought nothing new to them (because there is nothing new to bring). Half-Life was probably the greatest there ever will be, System Shock brought interesting new elements to an FPS. PCs have had multiplayer online gaming for years as well all know being that we play a MMO 5 hours a day. Why is "xbox live" considered such a fucking revolution?

Also, graphics always have been and even now still are better on the PC. The only complaint people have is that technology is expensive and rapidly gets outdated.

So, fuck the 360 and the PS3. I'll spend my money on a Wii, which claims that they are trying to target "lapsed gamers" with something new. It's about damn time. PS3 and Xbox are doing everything to avoid thinking outside the box. Sure, I'll spend $200 for a little vision. If it sucks I can return it. The Wii should have been made LONG ago. It's pitiful that with all the money you spend on the PS3 the only thing even remotely revolutionary is the half-assed attempted at motion sensing. PATHETIC.

XBOX LIVE itself is not revolutionary. The XBOX LIVE MARKETPLACE on the other hand, most definately is. Especially now with movie and tv marketplace and whatnot. And the only reason that consoles have not furthered anything in the FPS genre is that 95% of FPS games for consoles are simultaneously released for PC, or soon after. G.R.A.W. for example brought new stuff to the FPS genre with the active HUD system they put into it (which is based on actual experimental military equipment). I'll admit the genre is become played out, but to say there's been no innovation in ages is just plain wrong.

Oh btw, Morrowind is the only RPG on consoles? Anyone remember a little game called The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion??

[Spider]

You are doing nothing other than proving my point far as I can see. If you think telling me there is a "marketplace" is any sign of a revolution thats crazy. You can't blame simultaneous releases with PC versions for the consoles failure to make anything interesting either. My points remain valid and correct.

Oblivion and Morrowind are practically they same thing. There is much less variation than at the height of PC gaming. Gaming has taken a step backward, and when considering the giant leap of technology thats a shame.

You've spend so long playing remakes of Half-Life that the tiniest thing you think is some kind of brilliant evolution. Do you even know what Homeworld was? They created a genre with that game. Consoles have nothing on the PC gaming of 5 years ago.

Seriously I am just disapointed. I seriously am. I have money I could spend. I really want to play something interesting that I could get some enjoyment out of it. I bought a 360 and realized that consoles are such a terrible rip off. I used to love gaming. Lately its done nothing for me and these next gen consoles bring nothing to the table either. Unless, of course, the Wii lives up to the hype. Better graphics on the same game play, I'm sorry, but that isn't worth my time.
