View Full Version : Why do Wii fanboys vigorously defend the Wii's crappy graphics? *Dies inside* Lono_Lives 09-02-2007, 01:55 PM Made this for Mikey to defend the crap graphics on the Wii. Shane86 09-02-2007, 02:07 PM But isn't the wii all about the fun factor and spreading the joy to all those who don't normally play video games? I don't think casual gamers care too much about graphics, and it's a lot easier for them to swing a virtual racket then try to control the dragon in lair :D Mikey 09-02-2007, 02:20 PM Shane I agree with you a bit on what you said. But it also kinda offended me. You see, Wii has a very large audience, and this audience consist of 2 groups, The Casuals and the Hardcore. Both these groups have been loved the Wii since the begining and the Hardcore group has came to learn graphics do not matter. Its gameplay gameplay, GAMEPLAY. Lono, I want you to know that I like the Wii, and it is my favorite console, but I am in no way, shape or form a fanboy. I enjoy all three of this generations platforms. They all have their own traits that make them great. And I am not defending the graphics of the Wii, I am not saying they are awesome. I am simply saying they dont matter. Its stupid to base the fun factor of a game off its graphics. The reason you play a game is because its fun. Do you only play games with good graphics? Are these the only games you enjoy? Well if so, you are not a true gamer. True gamers play games, because we enjoy them, not because they look pretty. GideonB 09-02-2007, 03:29 PM No they probably don't because who the hell wants to use good graphics compared to excellent gameplay? Who agrees with me? Mikey 09-02-2007, 03:32 PM Are you saying, Excellent gameplay is more important then Excellent graphics? If so then yes you are 100% right. GideonB 09-02-2007, 03:35 PM Yes I am. I mean I wouldn't mind at least mediocore (I think i spelled that wrong) graphics but as long as the gameplay is great and addicitive (like bejewled) I will stick with that game. Mikey 09-02-2007, 03:52 PM Well its good to here some true gamers are still out there. And you are right somewhat about the graphics. The games that are on Wii should only be rated by the gameplay that excercise. Because thats why the Wii is here. To prove graphics dont matter. And if you look at its sells I think it is proving a valid point. kingbiscuit13 09-02-2007, 04:10 PM The Wii graphics do kind of suck. but it doesnt matter. The Wii I think is meant to be a FUN machine, much like a pair of firm ladies breasts. The games are to be tickled, with your hands firmly on your hard Wiimote. I know that when caressing at your stiff gaming wand, that the face (or graphics) of the lady no longer matter. It's all about the gameplay and reaching the end of the level (which can get a little messy) Official Wii cleaning wipes anyone! The Other "next gen" consoles have big knobs sticking out of the front of their controllers and I don't like to touch mens knobs, so its a choice between an ugly looking woman (probably from Essex. Pug face too much tan. You know the type) Or An attractive looking man with a funny shaped knob The choice is yours. I hope this clears everything up, and I expect it has! GideonB 09-02-2007, 04:26 PM Well its good to here some true gamers are still out there. And you are right somewhat about the graphics. The games that are on Wii should only be rated by the gameplay that excercise. Because thats why the Wii is here. To prove graphics dont matter. And if you look at its sells I think it is proving a valid point. the wii isnt an exerise machine! that is a gimmick but my mum says it is. Can anyone expain why someone had to go to hospital while he played wii sports for 15 hours[/B] straight. I mean who the hell would think that the wii is a cheap exercise machine (no offense if i offend you)! The only people that think that is the newspaper reporters cos they are liars (no offense if u r a news reporter urself) Lono_Lives 09-02-2007, 05:10 PM If you say that only true gamers like the wii because only true gamers like gameplay over graphics is wrong. You've framed the question wrong and well, you're just wrong. NOBODY favors one over the other. People want both. They want a pretty game that has great gameplay. Wii games, for the most part, look like crap and play like crap. A wii game with tight controls is few and far between. Wii sports isn't even a game its a demo for motion controls and only fun in 15 minute increments. That's all well and good, but i'd like some substance with my games. Oh and Mikey, when you spend all day declaring your love for a game console online and write multiple posts about a game console that doesn't give a crap about you... you might be a fanboy. (Stolen directly from Doc) GideonB 09-02-2007, 05:12 PM If you say that only true gamers like the wii because only true gamers like gameplay over graphics is wrong.

(Stolen directly from Doc) I dont really give a crap about graphics only as long as i can see wtf i am doing i am ok with it and i prefer gameplay over graphics because gameplay is what makes a game a game. Lono_Lives 09-02-2007, 05:14 PM I dont really give a crap about graphics only as long as i can see wtf i am doing i am ok with it and i prefer gameplay over graphics because gameplay is what makes a game a game. Then maybe pong is your game gideon. GideonB 09-02-2007, 05:16 PM no i prefer something i can see lono. also someone please explain to that, who cares about good graphics as long as it looks great and plays great it is a game isnt it? Shane86 09-02-2007, 06:00 PM who cares about good graphics as long as it looks great Contradicting yourself in the same sentence! well done! :D Hotshot Scott 09-02-2007, 06:36 PM I have a Nintendo Wii and an Xbox 360. However you can pound the gameplay drum all you want because If I’m playing a game I want it to look good and also play good, like Lonno said it’s best to have both. Now with any multiplatform game, I will always get it for the 360 over the Wii because it looks better. Unless its madden then it’s just an overall better game. I got the Nintendo Wii just so me and my mates can have laugh when they come round and we have a few beers, it is fun it is interactive but all I find is that we play the demo that is Wii sports. Duncor 09-02-2007, 06:53 PM Casuals and Hardcore gamers is a FAKE term. It is only used by game makers to sell games and gamers to feel self important and entitled on forums like this. There are no Casuals and Hardcore gamers, there are just gamers. People just use them as word shields to hide behind because they're arguments are weak. Shane86 09-02-2007, 07:09 PM Shane I agree with you a bit on what you said. But it also kinda offended me. You see, Wii has a very large audience, and this audience consist of 2 groups, The Casuals and the Hardcore. Both these groups have been loved the Wii since the begining and the Hardcore group has came to learn graphics do not matter. Its gameplay gameplay, GAMEPLAY. I offended you? :D We're talking about computer games, it's not like I insulted your mother. Mikey 09-02-2007, 07:24 PM I need to clear somethings up Mikey Says- The games that are on Wii should only be rated by the gameplay that excercise. This a typo! It should say rated by the gameplay they excercise. I dont actually mean excercise, its a figure of speech. Lono Says- If you say that only true gamers like the wii because only true gamers like gameplay over graphics is wrongGamers have their preference in consoles and thats all good. Just because you dont like Wii doesnt make you any less of a gamer. What makes you less of a gamer is say "Gameplay doesnt matter as much as Graphics, or I consider graphics first when I choose a game.. You've framed the question wrong and well, you're just wrong. I dont think I framed it wrong at all, I think you just took it the way you wanted to take it. raynes 09-02-2007, 10:02 PM I have a nintendo wii and the graphics do suck on it. It's really frustrating when I have a ps2 that can support 1080p graphics (and does). The issue to me isn't the argument in of graphics vs. game play. The issue is that the Wii has yet to really prove this to be true. The best games on the Wii are the ones with the best graphics. The one exception to this is Wii Sports, the demo that came with the game. That's hardly evidence enough that game play matters, graphics don't. In the end I really wish gamers everywhere would pull their heads out of their asses and stop defending systems and companies and start demanding better quality. Start demanding that the Wii use the SD card as actual memory. Tell Nintendo that an old weather channel and news is not online content. The list could co on and on. Mikey 09-02-2007, 10:23 PM Raynes, the thing is, we dont care if the graphics qualty isnt as good as 360 and PS3, I mean sure they should at least try to make it look decent, but all that matters is how the game plays.

Duncor 09-02-2007, 11:03 PM Mikey, You keep saying that and no one is saying Graphics are better then gameplay. raynes said that there are no games on the Wii that show off this great gameplay you keep talking about and you keep repeating the same thing over and over Mikey 09-02-2007, 11:10 PM Yeah, and I am trying to get in through your head. But I am done arguing this. Anyone wanna argue about something different? Duncor 09-02-2007, 11:16 PM NO ONE IS DISAGREEING WITH YOU ABOUT THE GRAPHICS THING! You aren't even listen to what people are saying. raynes 09-03-2007, 12:16 AM Raynes, the thing is, we dont care if the graphics qualty isnt as good as 360 and PS3, I mean sure they should at least try to make it look decent, but all that matters is how the game plays. Well "we" would include I, since I own a Wii. That aside, why shouldn't Wii owners expect the same level graphics as the 360 and the PS3? If the PS2 can do it with technology that is 5+ years old, the Wii sure as hell should be able to do it. However since Nintendo has brainwashed the masses into thinking HD games aren't that important, I won't argue that point anymore. This means the burden is on Nintendo to prove what they are selling. That being game play is key, not graphics. So far I haven't seen that be the case yet. Instead of games being produced with decent game play, we get a few first party Nintendo titles that have nice graphics and decent game play, a shit load of PS2 ports that have a new control scheme thrown on it, or a bunch of DS games with a graphic face lift. The part that pisses me off is I don't see it getting any better. For products due out in the next year Nintendo has promised the following: -A light gun and game to go with it. -A fitness board and "game" to go with it. -Mario Kart with actual online play. In other words a DS game with technology that has been around for 6 years on other systems. -A rehash of a N64 fighting game (Smash Brothers) -Another Super Mario game. Did Wii owners yell at Nintendo to come up with something new and interesting? Did they stop Reggie and ask him why there is no mention of fixing the most obvious Wii problems? (Like having to exit out of the wii shop channel, open the Internet channel, and surf the web to watch a preview of a VC game, instead of just having a link in the shop channel). No instead they just sat their like the idiots they have become and cheer for any scrap of decent gaming Nintendo throws at them. Gamers (and not just Nintendo fans) need to pull their heads out of their asses. Stop arguing that the Wii is better for this reason, or the PS3 is better for that reason. Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft spend billions to do that. Start directing that passion to the game companies and tell them put up or shut up. Game play is better than graphics, show me beyond Wii Sports. The PS3 can produce games better than anything ever imagined, come out with something that isn't done on any other system (and I don't mean more polygons). The 360 is a quality console and worth my money, show me one that lasts and doesn't need a warranty. Prove to me that my money is better spent with your console. I guess what it really comes down to is that defending companies like gamers seem to do, does nothing in end but send the message that substandard is ok. As long as gamers keep this up, we are the ones who loose. chrispenny 09-03-2007, 02:30 AM Raynes. You're right on the money. We're the ones that lose. Most people get very defensive when someone comes out and questions them about their choices. If I've bought something (anything), and someone comes along and says "that's shit, why did you waste your money on that?", I take it personally and I (might) start to justify the reasons by overlooking the negatives. I'm not saying I overkill it like Dumb and Dumber over there, but I'm definitely less interested in hearing the negatives of something if the person saying it has started by insulting me (whether they realise they've done so or not). I don't consider myself a Wii fanboy. The fact is, I bought the Nintendo Wii to play Zelda (Just like I bought an XBox for Fable, a PS for FF VII, and plan to buy a 360 for Mass Effect). And I do still think my points were relevant in that other thread about next-gen. Wait, I've kind of gone off the point: In the end, if we can't look past our own pride and see the faults we'll always be left short in the future. Elitekiller 09-03-2007, 02:58 AM This is how I see it: Great Gameplay= Wii Great Graphics=PS3 Great Gameplay and Graphics:Xbox 360 and PC Why get one when you can get both? chrispenny 09-03-2007, 03:04 AM Yea I'm pretty happy about being primarily a PC gamer. So far I haven't been too let down by the available titles. As I said above though, I will have to buy a 360 Mass Effect (fingers are still crossed that they announce a PC version though). firestormgamer 09-03-2007, 03:11 AM i just think that Nintendo are really strapped for idea's, they are just really abusing their mascots (Mario in particular) i mean each game hasn't been really much different from the past few, and before you get all uppity i own a Wii and have been a Nintendo fan since i got my SNES, i mean even Zelda on the Wii wasn't as good as its N64 ancestors (more so Ocarina Of Time as opposed to Majora's Mask) and i had big hopes for that game i mean we have so many Wii's its not funny, we literally running out of places to put them guess most people in Australia have realized that at the moment the Wii isn't really worth the 400 the only game that gets played on my Wii is Mario Party (and thats only by my girlfriend and her friends) otherwise i play my 360 and i don't see myself buying many more Wii games for a long time (unless my girlfriend decides she wants one) GideonB 09-03-2007, 05:17 AM actually firestorm makes a good point because they cost £179 in UK which is the same price of the PSP at launch. Now this may sound a bit hypocritical but they are pieces of ****ing metal strapped on together, shove some gimmicks on and then call it a ****ing games machine! Why defend the wii when it is a ****ing piece of metal! the graphics are shit, the gameplay breaks your arms and the games are so ****ing crap but the games are sold for full price! i have seen wii's for £250 at my local CeX before and now they are £180 because no-one wants to buy the pieces of shit! stop trying to win a war that you cant win wii fanboys! Also I would rather play on a DS because it doesnt break my ****ing arms when i move around vigouresly(Spelt that Wrong)! So why try to win a console war you can't win nintendo? just give the ****ing crown to 360! Anbaraen 09-03-2007, 06:23 AM Both arguments have excellent points. True, what a game is mainly about is gameplay. But who wants to play a game that looks totally crap? I mean, if you really think it's only gameplay that matters in a game, go play some Pong. Or Donkey Kong. Those have excellent gameplay. However, graphics alone do not make the game. If you have a game that looks almost real, that is absolutely no guarantee (Not saying you said it was, Lono) that it is the best game of all time. However, most gamers want a mixture of both. (Again, like Lono said.) Most people do NOT visit old games. They don't go back and play something like Mario Bros, unless they like revisiting the days of yore. Gameplay and Graphics must work together to make a game. Without either one, the game is off-balanced and (in most cases) will not be a good game. Now as to the Wii, I've played one several times, and have played the 360 and PS3 about as many. (I'm a PC and DS gamer, really.) Although the Wii's graphics are not excellent, I really do feel the Wii has a "pick-up, put-down" feel to it. It's meant for people who want to just play a bit of video games at the end of their day. (Notice I didn't say a rest at the end of their day, because quite frankly the Wii wears me out.) The Wii has caused a split in the gaming world. Those who like the new control system, and those who stick to their controls no matter what. This is a new millenium, a time for new ideas. If they don't sell, fine. If people prefer a beautiful game to a game with mediocre graphics, or vice versa, who really cares? Gaming is and has always been about the fun of the game. The Wii is fun. The 360 is fun. This feud is over nothing. Join hands with your brothers on the other side of the wall and embrace them. This is the Twenty-First century. Gaming will never be the same.

Actually i have to agree with that and then why doesn't the stupid shitty game console makers agree with that speech. Great one Acheron!!!! That is what gaming is!! Mikey 09-03-2007, 11:03 AM So here is the post where I say the complete truth about everything. Wii: The Wii is a excellent console for me because, I dont play games that much. Every once in a while I will throw in WiiSports play it for an hour and then I wont turn on my Wii again for a month. I will be playing it a lot more coming this Winter. SSBB will be occupying a lot of time. And then their is a couple other games I am look forward to. The main thing I like about Wii is that, it turned a lot of people who didnt play games, into gamers. 360: This console a great selection of games, which it should since its approching its 2 year anniversary. The games have good graphics and most have good gameplay. But I dont ever play this system, because its at my other parents house. PS3: I like this console, but I dont own one. Little Big planet will be awesome, I like the idea of "Home". And the graphics are just amazing. I cant say much else. The main reason i have been defending Nintendo is because I know they arent going to let me down. I know that there going to do something by the end of next year to make me glad that I defended them and bought their console (I do enjoy Wii right now btw, I just want something huge to happen). Maybe not, but I hope so. So to end this, I am going to say Gameplay is more important then graphics, and it seems we all agree on this. And I do agree with some of you. Graphics are a important part of the game. To me though, they dont need to me awesome like 360 and PS3. they can be something simple like cel-shaded, or graphics like metroid. They dont need to be like Gran Tursimo 5. I'm not saying I wouldnt like them to be that, but I just dont need it. umpire 09-03-2007, 11:28 AM Made this for Mikey to defend the crap graphics on the Wii. Maybe beacuse the grapchis have never been above ps2 level? Maybe beacuse we know cube was more powerful than ps2. so wii is more powerful than cube. Dont be a fanboy either.... Tiannam 09-03-2007, 11:31 AM I highly doubt Mikey has touched his Wii in awhile, just like PS3 fanboys. All they do is sit on teh interwebz and defend 'their' console. If they really cared so much about 'their' console then they would spend more time playing it then arguing how 'awesome' it is. Edit: Look what I found. Every once in a while I will throw in WiiSports play it for an hour and then I wont turn on my Wii again for a month. So my conclusion is that Mikey is just sitting here arguing about the Wii because it is the console he owns. I don't know that many 360 owners who will turn on their 360, play Bioshock for an hour, and not touch it for a month. Do you know why you don't touch it for a month Mikey? No, not because you're not a gamer, because if you weren't a gamer then you wouldn't be on here defending the Wii. It's because it isn't that fun after the first 2 days. My friend had the same problem with the Wii. He got it, beat Zelda, then never turned it on again. So we sold it for $300 (back when it was selling like crach) and he got a 360 premium and we play all the time together now using xbox live. umpire 09-03-2007, 11:31 AM Actually i have to agree with that and then why doesn't the stupid shitty game console makers agree with that speech. Great one Acheron!!!! That is what gaming is!! Flase most causal market dosent care for grapchis. EX: wow look at those ps3 grapchis... when there was a ps2 game in the ps3. really show how manny people know. Lono_Lives 09-03-2007, 12:38 PM Seriously umpire, please read Rothbarts Rant #9. Pretty please! umpire 09-03-2007, 12:48 PM Seriously umpire, please read Rothbarts Rant #9. Pretty please! why should i when its not even worth reading? when i know your already wrong... hmmm its a waste of my time umpire 09-03-2007, 12:49 PM I highly doubt Mikey has touched his Wii in awhile, just like PS3 fanboys. All they do is sit on teh interwebz and defend 'their' console. If they really cared so much about 'their' console then they would spend more time playing it then arguing how 'awesome' it is.

So we sold it for $300 (back when it was selling like crach) and he got a 360 premium and we play all the time together now using xbox live. you can keep on doubthing that dosent mean your right or wrong. that dosent mean its not fun.... that just a pull crap lie umpire 09-03-2007, 12:52 PM If you say that only true gamers like the wii because only true gamers like gameplay over graphics is wrong. You've framed the question wrong and well, you're just wrong. NOBODY favors one over the other. People want both. They want a pretty game that has great gameplay. Wii games, for the most part, look like crap and play like crap. A wii game with tight controls is few and far between. Wii sports isn't even a game its a demo for motion controls and only fun in 15 minute increments. That's all well and good, but i'd like some substance with my games. Oh and Mikey, when you spend all day declaring your love for a game console online and write multiple posts about a game console that doesn't give a crap about you... you might be a fanboy.

Shane86 09-09-2007, 03:11 PM Don't forget XXXXXXXXX of the year... Kanbei 09-09-2007, 04:55 PM I think the wii's graphics are just fine, they aren't pretty but they aren't Crappy. I just chose to side with the wii for a couple of reasons the biggest 3 are 1.The First Party games (Nintendo and Friends) 2.The virtual console (I sold all my old games and now I want'em back) 3.I'm the only one in my group of Friends that supports the Nintendo and Microsoft xbox groups (everybody else is a Sony boy, poor me) I kinda like how the wii is starting to turn into a home arcade though with the zapper and a port of ghost coming to wii.:) raynes 09-09-2007, 06:10 PM Would people stop defending this bullshit!

I mean, just look at Paper Mario, Animal Crossing, and WarioWare. It's clear we just look at how fun it is to play. Any Wiiboy attempting to defend the Wii's graphics is a moron. However, let it be said that it's less than of the price of the PS3. It's not like I expected anything to begin with. And I started reading back, but I got scared, so forgive me if we've been off this topic for a bit. keith22 09-10-2007, 03:44 PM Did you and Miss Teen USA South Carolina attend the same school or have the same classes together? hahaha lol you just made my day mate Sagemaster E 09-27-2007, 01:48 PM ****ing hell most of the people in this argument are talking bullshit. i actually have a wii (unlike most people in this thread it seems who start there posts with i have a wii but....) first of all the graphics, they are not crappy, shit or retarded they are just nowhere near as good as the 360 (cannot comment on ps3 never played on one). the gameplay the gameplay is fun, simple as that and quite frankly if you get tired of it that is usually because people are way too enthusiastic. i also have a 360 and i play that more than my wii (i got my 360 and bout half a year after my wii) now i want to tell you my cons and pros of the wii and 360. 360: Pros It has awesome graphics and gameplay and gets the best versions of the game like madden where as ps3 fans get kinda screwd over and get cheezy ports of games like the darkness. It also has the best average of awesome games like dead rising, mass effect, lost planet, halo 3. The 360 is also very addictive because of bullshit like gamerscore and achievments before you try arguing with me about this let me just say achievments are pretty fun but such a waste of friggin time i mean really when u see a guy on live with like 99,999 gamerscore what do you think i cannot read other peoples minds but its usually "what a friggin loser" or "woah thats a **** load of gamerscore" thatts about its not as if you remember him or anything. if your wondering why this is a pro let me explain this partcular pro is FOR the the 360 not its fans its a con for his fans in full sense of the word.Thee xbox live has to be said is also the best online gaming pretty much ever. Cons read the last pro. another con for the 360 is the prices of games or just complete a rip off though it has to be said the console it self is a pretty good deal. Pretty boring control pad (dont get me wrong im not saying its crap, its actually pretty good its just boring and not much of a step forward to the old one cept wirlessness.) Its also one noisy mother ****er sounds like hell. Has to be said it is also one of the most glitchiest freeziest red lights of doomiest console and overheats like mad and if you put it on its side it scratches the discs and sometimes does that if you leave a game in there. apart from that it is a brilliant console (no sarcasm at all) Wii: Pros fun as hell. adds new meaning to the word satisfaction when u blow some random japenese guy. apart with your shotgun reload and scream "SINARA MOTHER ****ER" (also on lost planet you can say tht as well and they can actually hear you :) but they cant cus no japenese guys can afford A FRUCKING PREMIUM) feels most realistic( notice i said feels not looks) a very good console for picking up once in a while and playing with ur mates has to be said best party console ever. cheap as ****, basically you will not regret your choice (you get what you pay for) Cons graphics are in here because frankly they could have been improved hugely but in the end it doesnt even matter that much. not the sort of console where you can play with you left foot, with one hand on your balls and the other in nachos. After hours of play wich is kinda hard (cos most of its games arent addictive)it also can get tiring. Not many good games out at the moment ( tho the new super smash bros and metroid should remidy this) 360 overall rating: years of fun, but you have to put up with some annoying bullshit (3 year old live players, people that buy the legendary edition of halo and laggers) you should get one all the same worth the money: Wii:as i said earlier you get what you pay for cheap, fun but wont last if you aint got decent games. you dont like what i say then fooey on you, this is my opinion and well its pretty accurate. if you don't agree play me on live (Sagemaster E) Legendtaker117 09-27-2007, 05:04 PM Man I read yor post, and all I can make of it is that your an ass that can only except that he's right about everything and if anyone disagree's there F'ing retards. Oh and it was stupid to say your opinion is accurate, of course your gonna think its accurate cause its your opinion. Sorry for interrupting the topic, but it kinda made me mad reading his post. Emophia 09-27-2007, 05:37 PM I want a console that does everything well, from graphics to gameplay? Why the hell would anybody buy one that only does one? And has no games? SWSilentkiller 09-27-2007, 08:39 PM First let me state I do not own a 360 however I have played it, I do however own a wii. Also I could care less what other people opinion is on the consoles, oh and if you are going to diss a console please have some reasons to back it up otherwise many people will ignore your post and likely call you a noob. From what I have seen Sagemaster E has a good description of the wii and 360. I myself being a Wii owner will say this, Metroid prime 3 is a good game with good graphics, SSBB if you visit the site you will see also has good graphics. Now please everyone stop bashing consoles I could care less about some peoples opinions but it gets really annoying reading about how this console is better then this one. ALL CONSOLES HAVE THEIR PROS AND CONS, the wii might not have the greatest graphics but the gameplay is good, the 360 craps out on you alot however it has a good game library, the PS3 has the best graphics however it's lacking a bit in the games department. So there that is my opinion if you don't like it fine I don't really care. Emophia 09-28-2007, 06:58 AM PS3 has the best graphics however it's lacking a bit in the games department. It's not lacking in the games department compared to teh Wii... Still could do with a lot mroe good games though... SWSilentkiller 09-28-2007, 07:43 AM Really? I would say the wii has more games worth playing then the PS3 Emophia 09-28-2007, 08:13 AM The PS3 has more games of good quality, the Wii has a a lot less good games than the PS3, but it has two games that are better than any game on the PS3 (MP3, and LoZTP)... Ala Douche 09-28-2007, 10:03 AM heh, i've played about 13-14 games for the wii, and i still play wii sports the most! hahaha Emophia 09-28-2007, 10:08 AM That game is only fun with friends... And for 4 hours... Ala Douche 09-28-2007, 10:33 AM you really shouldn't play video games for more than 4 hours at a time anyway. :p Emophia 09-28-2007, 11:54 AM I meant in total...

Lono_Lives 09-28-2007, 05:03 PM heh, i've played about 13-14 games for the wii, and i still play wii sports the most! hahaha Thats a sad statement for the Wii. :( Ala Douche 09-28-2007, 05:13 PM i wont deny that!! i like the system, i love the controller, but damn, it needs some games.... BAD GideonB 09-28-2007, 05:22 PM The wii is shit! I don't know how people can play that shitty console without breaking a tiny muscle or bone! IT IS HARD TO PLAY AND THE GRAPHICS ARE SHIT! give up the crown to 360! Ala Douche 09-28-2007, 06:07 PM and i've been taking so much shit around here??? it's hard to play? hmm... maybe you should just stick to your 360 and pretend it's the only console ever made... :/ SWSilentkiller 09-29-2007, 10:31 AM seriously Gideon Stfu you are getting really annoying, anyway the wii does have some good games more then the PS3 anyway. Emophia 09-29-2007, 10:37 AM No... I just proved that wrong a page back... Are you blind? I wouldn't go as far as to call teh Wii 'shit' though... Legendtaker117 09-29-2007, 02:35 PM No... I just proved that wrong a page back... Are you blind? You just have to go on, dont ya. You didnt prove anything back there. Are you blind? You are an ass. Just let it go. That arguement went knowwhere. We both think the same thing we did before, so there really was no reason to make up lies. Emophia 09-29-2007, 04:25 PM You just have to go on, dont ya. You didnt prove anything back there. Are you blind? You are an ass. Just let it go. That arguement went knowwhere. We both think the same thing we did before, so there really was no reason to make up lies. What the **** makes you think I was talking to you? What I said has nothing to do with your bullshit in the power topic... And your petty little 'arguement' is hardly worth mentioning... SWSilentkiller 09-29-2007, 10:43 PM actually you really didn't prove anything you never said what games the PS3 had all you said was "It's not lacking in the games department compared to teh Wii...

SWSilentkiller 09-30-2007, 10:36 AM ok Im going to take alot of the PS3 games you mentioned out because guess what? alot of them are for the 360, PC and wii or ports from the PS2 or other last gen consoles. So now lets see what games to take out of that list: 1. Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 PS3 Ubisoft 19 8.5 88.5% 2. Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock PS3 RedOctane 3. The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion PS3 Bethesda Softworks 4. Virtua Fighter 5 PS3 Sega which is PS2 5. Ninja Gaiden Sigma PS3 Tecmo 6. Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas PS3 7. NHL 08 PS3 Electronic Arts 8.

Virtua Tennis 3 PS3 Sega 22. FIFA Soccer 08 PS3 EA Sports 23. NHL 2K7 PS3 2K Sports 24. NHL 2K8 PS3 Take-Two Interactive ok so 24 of the games you have just named for the PS3 are ports from PS2 or they are also available for the Wii, 360, or PC. So now lets take a look at what's left for the PS3: 1. Resistance: Fall of Man PS3 SCEA 2. Warhawk PS3 SCEA 3. MotorStorm PS3 SCEA 4. Heavenly Sword PS3 SCEA 5. SingStar PS3 SCEA 6. Hot Shots Golf 5 PS3 SCEI 7. Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction PS3 SCEA So there the PS3 has only 7 decent games and some of them aren't even that good. The Wii has more then that, and besides you left out a couple of other good wii games. So therefore I have just proved you wrong. Emophia 09-30-2007, 11:11 AM Nope, I counted all the Wii games up to 80% even the ones that were ports, and all the PS3 games up to 80% even if they were ports... This is all according to gamerankings... Duh If you want to take out all the ports from other consoles though... PS3: Title Plat Company Reviews Avg. Vote Avg Score 1. Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction PS3 SCEA 1 8.4 93.0% 5. Resistance: Fall of Man PS3 SCEA 72 7.9 87.4% 6. Virtua Fighter 5 PS3 Sega 45 7.9 87.1% 7.

Ninja Gaiden Sigma and Dance Dance Revolution Hottest Pary are both largly expanded remakes instead of ports so i left them in... Now I am really wondering about this topic, why are Wii owners such sore losers? SWSilentkiller 09-30-2007, 03:09 PM you really have to put Twilight princess on the list because on the wii not only is everything reversed but the contros are different Emophia 09-30-2007, 03:12 PM No... Twilight Princess is just a port the GCN game, haveing the world mirrored and different controls doesn't make it less so... It's not liek Ninja Gaiden Sigma where levels have been added and levels remade with tons of new songs, or like DDRHP where there are new songs... Ala Douche 09-30-2007, 05:46 PM i thought it was ported to the gamecube, not the other way around... Emophia 09-30-2007, 06:42 PM Where the hell did you get that from? It was developed for the GCN... But Nintendo decided to port it to the Wii since the launch titles were looking pretty meager... Or something like that... Ala Douche 09-30-2007, 06:47 PM ah i see... i just assumed it was the other way around because of how nice it looks and plays... doesn't feel like a port at all. SWSilentkiller 09-30-2007, 07:20 PM I have to go with Douche on this one. Capwnage 09-30-2007, 09:59 PM Wii fanboys make me laugh I feel bad that they cant afford a REAL console SWSilentkiller 09-30-2007, 10:13 PM what are you talking about? last time I checked the Wii was a real cosnole. Digitalistic 09-30-2007, 11:37 PM I'm being lazy and not reading all 9 pages of this thread, so if it's been said before, sorry: Nintendo's said since day one that the Wii is not a system about graphics, but about reaching a new audience with a new style of play. The system is quite remarkable because of this -- the graphics are identical to a gamecube, yet it doesn't matter. This shows by the fact that every month since launch (or nearly) the Wii (and DS, same principle) have been at the top of the NPD sales charts. The graphics really don't need defending when the system's capable of bringing gaming to an audience never targeted -- the people who don't care about the graphics. Spudnik 09-30-2007, 11:47 PM I find that these threads never really work out well on gaming forums because everyone here is a hardcore gamer. Most Wii players are not hardcore gamers (or practically gamers at all) and so this almost always leads to a heay slant in threads. As hardcore gamers we tend to care about, graphics and power. Casual Gamers do not typically care. We really need some casual gamers on here to describe why they like the wii. Emophia 10-01-2007, 04:19 AM ah i see... i just assumed it was the other way around because of how nice it looks and plays... doesn't feel like a port at all. Oh, I agree, it's a great game, like RE4 Wii it doesn't feel like a port at all, but it's still a port... SWSilentkiller 10-01-2007, 07:54 AM yeah, spudnik not all wii owners are casual gamers, I am not a casual gamer. See I bought the Wii for three reasons Mario, Samus, and Super smash bros. Brawl. There are other games I want but those are the main reason why I bought a wii. Emophia 10-01-2007, 08:17 AM Nintendo should go the Sega route and go 3rd Party... Ala Douche 10-01-2007, 11:39 AM i think they will soon, the games are just not delivering. i like my wii, but i've played it once in the last month and a half because there are no new good games out for it. when resident evil: UC comes out, we'll definitely get that and be playing it a bunch... Emophia 10-01-2007, 01:14 PM What about Metroid Prime 3? Ala Douche 10-02-2007, 12:34 PM you know, i haven't played it, but i saw the downloadable trailer for it through the wii... it just looks like.... well the other metroid games which i just wasnt a big fan of. i hear it's pretty good and i also hear that it utilizes the wii remote pretty nicely. Emophia 10-02-2007, 12:53 PM It got 7/10 in Edge... Even though they gave teh first two Primes an Hunters 9, 8, and 8 retrospectivaly.. mr pinky 10-03-2007, 03:14 PM Fire Emblem is gonna be the best reason to own a Wii mr pinky 10-03-2007, 03:16 PM I find that these threads never really work out well on gaming forums because everyone here is a hardcore gamer. Most Wii players are not hardcore gamers (or practically gamers at all) and so this almost always leads to a heay slant in threads. As hardcore gamers we tend to care about, graphics and power. Casual Gamers do not typically care. We really need some casual gamers on here to describe why they like the wii. Why on earth would we want casual gamers on here as well!! they are already invading my life enough! Most of this "Casual Gaming Audience" would have said computer games are for kids about 12 months ago and now they are all prancing round there living rooms like idiot trying to play a demo of an unresponsive sports game! It scares me to think that every developer is gonna see how much money can be made out of these people by crappy "pick up and play games", and just churn out one after another and forget about the people that made this industry what it is in the first place! GideonB 10-03-2007, 03:59 PM A PSP, 360 and PS3 are for hardcore gamers or just casual ones but if you want a light-hearted alternative you would get a DS or Wii. The graphics are always gonna be shit but this is a shit PS2 dressed up like a Mac (Thank you I Hate This Wii) with games the graphics of an N64 so why just buy this when you can get a 360 and a copy of Halo 3 (played it in costco watford golden game :)) mr pinky 10-03-2007, 04:09 PM The PSP is not for anyone dude!! How can it be for hardcore gamers... if you try to play it for any decent length of time your fingers seize up and your hands fall off!! I'm glad it comes with a case cos i'd have to spend almost as much time dusting it as i do my PS3. Ala Douche 10-03-2007, 04:52 PM A PSP, 360 and PS3 are for hardcore gamers or just casual ones but if you want a light-hearted alternative you would get a DS or Wii.

Emophia 10-03-2007, 06:04 PM The PSP is not for anyone dude!! How can it be for hardcore gamers... if you try to play it for any decent length of time your fingers seize up and your hands fall off!! I'm glad it comes with a case cos i'd have to spend almost as much time dusting it as i do my PS3. Like I said in the PS3 forum... You either a) Buy bad games, or b) have hand problems... The PSP has tons of awesome games... Canuck 10-03-2007, 09:05 PM i think they will [go third party] soon, the games are just not delivering. i like my wii, but i've played it once in the last month and a half because there are no new good games out for it. when resident evil: UC comes out, we'll definitely get that and be playing it a bunch... There is no chance whatsoever that Nintendo will go Third Party anytime soon - they're selling the Wii like hotcakes, how does that merit the Sega route? Nintendo is thriving money-wise, and unless the Wii just stops selling and the successor to the Wii is a controller with a single button, they won't go the Sega route anytime soon. I don't think any of the console developers will, in this gen or the next. JAcK0R 10-03-2007, 10:38 PM It's not that hard to defend bad graphics if the game is fun. Would you rather play Lair, which looks beautiful but plays like crap? Or would you rather play Super Mario Bros., an 8-bit prodigy of entertainment software? Same argument. As long as Wii games become more than just waggle mini game collections, it is very easy to defend it. Canuck 10-03-2007, 11:02 PM Sure, but in many cases, the games are good-looking AND fun to play, which defeats fun to play with bad graphics. The visuals add to the experience, as is the case in games like Bioshock and Gears of War. Spudnik 10-04-2007, 12:49 AM Sorry everyone i did not mean that all Wii owners are casual gamers I merely meant that a majority of them are. Oh and mr Pink I have to agree with you the casual gmaers are starting to piss me off as well. But inorder to get a good grasp on this we need to find out what the majority of the market thinks. Emophia 10-04-2007, 06:13 AM It's not that hard to defend bad graphics if the game is fun. Would you rather play Lair, which looks beautiful but plays like crap? Or would you rather play Super Mario Bros., an 8-bit prodigy of entertainment software? Same argument. As long as Wii games become more than just waggle mini game collections, it is very easy to defend it. I wouldn't play either... I'd play Bioshock, Halo 3, Warhawk and heavenly Sword, games that both play awesome and look awesome... And half of them have awesome good online... Something the Wii really is lacking in... Ala Douche 10-04-2007, 11:15 AM Sure, but in many cases, the games are good-looking AND fun to play, which defeats fun to play with bad graphics. The visuals add to the experience, as is the case in games like Bioshock and Gears of War. that's very very biased. you cant really lump all games that are fun to play, but don't have spectacular graphics going against games that are fun to play with great graphics, because it's all what you consider fun. for example; mario 3 is fun, so is halo 3. well they're both fun games so they should be categorized together? what you think is fun to play, i might not. i think everybody in the world know you will get nothing but whatever microsoft throws out there next, but a lot of people aren't as straight minded about what they play. not saying anything bad about you only liking microsoft products (i dont agree with it, but i'm not going to change your mind, so why try?) but a lot of people have more than one taste in games and the types of games they like. Night Phyre 10-04-2007, 12:33 PM what you think is fun to play, i might not. i think everybody in the world know you will get nothing but whatever microsoft throws out there next, but a lot of people aren't as straight minded about what they play. not saying anything bad about you only liking microsoft products (i dont agree with it, but i'm not going to change your mind, so why try?) but a lot of people have more than one taste in games and the types of games they like. I disagree. Just because a person has a certain taste in games doesn't NOT qualify those games as good or on the same level as other games which are near-universally accepted to be good. I mean, I play nearly every Dynasty Warriors game because I'm addicted to leveling-up, but why on earth would I try to convince somebody else that it's a good game? It pretty much blows, but it manages to fulfill my need to build a character. You seem to be against MS's steady stream of solid, well balanced titles aimed at the 16-32 yr old male demographic, and I don't know why. Ala Douche 10-04-2007, 12:56 PM i... really don't understand your argument. i whole heartedly disagree with the fact that microsoft puts out a steady stream of well balanced titles... unless you mean well balanced FPS games. but, like i said, what are you arguing? that most people don't have more than one taste in games they like? Emophia 10-04-2007, 01:05 PM I play all types of games on all types of consoles... But that doesn't meant I have to have bad graphics to have good gameplay... Ala Douche 10-04-2007, 01:10 PM what? that's not even close to what i was saying either.. ??? Night Phyre 10-04-2007, 01:41 PM but, like i said, what are you arguing? that most people don't have more than one taste in games they like? I'm saying that your dislike of Xbox games in no way reflects the actual quality of the games themselves. Ala Douche 10-04-2007, 02:05 PM i have no dislike for xbox games as a whole... on an individual basis i do, but i don't look at something and say, "microsoft, no thanks." my whole argument had nothing to do with microsoft. it was about he was basically saying all "good" games are in one category. they're not. do you disagree that most people don't like more than one type of game? or that most people don't have a problem liking games on other consoles than the xbox? maybe i'm just stupid, but it looked like you responded to my statement with something completely differnet. Emophia 10-04-2007, 05:03 PM what? that's not even close to what i was saying either.. ??? I know, but I couldn't disern what the hell you were saying, so I took the nearest stab... Ala Douche 10-04-2007, 05:17 PM hahaha fair enough... i was having difficulty putting my thoughts into words. basically what i was saying is "a game that's fun and has good graphics" isn't necessarily better than a game "that's fun but is lacking graphically." Canuck 10-04-2007, 08:16 PM basically what i was saying is "a game that's fun and has good graphics" isn't necessarily better than a game "that's fun but is lacking graphically." Yes, that's true but it's a fact that graphical quality adds to the experience and can make it more enjoyable. Sometimes I find it a pain to look back on some last-gen games with what would now be considered god-awful graphics, and that does detract a bit from the experience (there are only a handful of titles which I find actually hard to look at because of graphical quality, but they do exist). Basically, would you rather take Bioshock with Halo 2-quality graphics or with Bioshock-quality graphics? SWSilentkiller 10-04-2007, 08:48 PM actually I would like to play Bioshock with Halo 2 graphics because then it would actually run on my computer. Anyway I wouldn't care if the graphics are bad as long as the game is good, unless of course the graphics were god awful. Emophia 10-05-2007, 03:10 AM hahaha fair enough... i was having difficulty putting my thoughts into words. basically what i was saying is "a game that's fun and has good graphics" isn't necessarily better than a game "that's fun but is lacking graphically." I see... But it's untrue... If both games have equally great gameplay... The one with teh better graphics is easily going to be better... And more fun to play... And easier on teh eyes... It's a win win situation... I have trouble going past mid PS2 graphics with hurting my eyes... ploogle 10-09-2007, 03:02 PM I have trouble going past mid PS2 graphics with hurting my eyes... Heh. I'd hate to think what you went through before the PS2 came out. Are you just blind or something from playing all those graphically inferior games? With every new system, you wonder how you survived being stuck with the old one and the crappy graphics. With the Wii, you wonder how you survived without the gameplay. For the umpteenth time, it's not ABOUT the GRAPHICS!!! The unique style of control has furthered quite a few genres, specifically the FPS, imo, and will continue to do more. Emophia 10-09-2007, 04:50 PM Heh. I'd hate to think what you went through before the PS2 came out. Are you just blind or something from playing all those graphically inferior games? With every new system, you wonder how you survived being stuck with the old one and the crappy graphics. With the Wii, you wonder how you survived without the gameplay. For the umpteenth time, it's not ABOUT the GRAPHICS!!! The unique style of control has furthered quite a few genres, specifically the FPS, imo, and will continue to do more. I got by because I hadn't seen any better... But when I do I can't go back... Besides Battlefield 1942 and Tribes 2... But those are classics... Mmm... Classics... I think Zelda Ocarina of Time gave me a Migrane the first time I played it... back in 2005... Sure sure, Gameplay > Graphics... But the Wii has neither in worthwhile quantities... Waggle doesn't instantly make a games gameplay good... You don't even need waggle to have good gameplay... It's just Nintendo's marketing that's making you think you do... Wii fanpeople are so confused... ploogle 10-09-2007, 08:14 PM Waggle doesn't instantly make a games gameplay good... You don't even need waggle to have good gameplay... It's just Nintendo's marketing that's making you think you do... Wii fanpeople are so confused... Oh, I agree. "Waggle" doesn't force good gameplay on a game, and I'll admit that there is some major crap out there control-wise for the Wii. It's a hit-or-miss system, you either take advantage of the controls, or you screw the game over. I agree that there are great games that don't have "Waggle." In fact, most of the games I like aren't on the Wii. I agree that there are confused Wii fanboys. Just like there are for the 360 and PS3. Nintendo's marketing isn't what makes the gameplay so good. I've had people that have never heard of the Wii play mine and love it. Nintendo's marketing has NOTHING to do with it. It just alerts people to the fact that it exists, so come get it. To put it in your own words, we got by because we hadn't seen any better... but when we do we can't go back... Ala Douche 10-09-2007, 11:56 PM I see... But it's untrue... If both games have equally great gameplay... The one with teh better graphics is easily going to be better... And more fun to play... And easier on teh eyes... It's a win win situation... I have trouble going past mid PS2 graphics with hurting my eyes... but my point is, we're not talking about the same game, one with good graphics, one without. i don't really know how to make it any clearer that you cant just lump all the good games two categories: good games with good graphics and good games with bad graphics. i mean, the idea of a "good game" is SO vast that you just can't possibly say that all good games with good graphics are better than all the good games with not as good graphics. Emophia 10-10-2007, 03:25 AM Oh, I agree. "Waggle" doesn't force good gameplay on a game, and I'll admit that there is some major crap out there control-wise for the Wii.

To put it in your own words, we got by because we hadn't seen any better... but when we do we can't go back... Wii Sports, Zelda, WarioWare, Metroid Prime 3, Elibits and Resident Evil 4... The only 6 Wii games that make great use of Waggle, one is a tech demo one of them is a minigame collections are two of them are ports... And MP3 has gotten consistantly lower scores than it's preddecessors... So does that make it worse than MP1/2 because it has waggle? I dunno, I only know that it's worse... Waggle is unique, but only when used right, which developers are finding hard to do, maybe the Wii remote isn't just sensative enough? If it's not, then what was the point of implementing it? Wait till teh technology catches up... Nintendo's marketing is why the sales are so high, they're marketing it too people who like gimmicky stuff because they don't now better... They think wow, I waggle and the stuff happens, and I admit it's entertaining, for a little while... Until the novelty wears off and you're left wanting some games... but my point is, we're not talking about the same game, one with good graphics, one without. i don't really know how to make it any clearer that you cant just lump all the good games two categories: good games with good graphics and good games with bad graphics. i mean, the idea of a "good game" is SO vast that you just can't possibly say that all good games with good graphics are better than all the good games with not as good graphics. Then what was the point of hahaha fair enough... i was having difficulty putting my thoughts into words. basically what i was saying is "a game that's fun and has good graphics" isn't necessarily better than a game "that's fun but is lacking graphically." If you can't compare them so easily you shouldn't have bothered... Ala Douche 10-10-2007, 09:52 AM ok i'll use an example; you cannot convince me that gears of war is a better game than final fantasy 7 (assuming you're playing both for the first time). both are great games, one has better graphics than the other, yet the one with bad graphics is still better, in my opinion anyway. Emophia 10-10-2007, 11:08 AM I played Final Fantasy VII back in the day, bored the hell out of me... I still own it though... Dunno why I bothered... So ya, Gears of War is better... Anyways, if you think FFVII was the better game, even with the old graphics... Than obviously Gears of War isn't as as a game as FFVII at it's heart to you... Nothing to do with graphics... Ala Douche 10-10-2007, 11:10 AM Anyways, if you think FFVII was the better game, even with the old graphics... Than obviously Gears of War isn't as as a game as FFVII at it's heart to you... Nothing to do with graphics... that, my friend, is my point. has been the whole time. just the fact that you can't look at the whole scenario in black and white. Emophia 10-10-2007, 11:41 AM No offense, but that point was pointless... Heavenly Sword looks a lot better graphically than Devil May Cry 3, yet I still like the Latter better, because at it's a better game to me at heart... However lets say there was a Devil May Cry 3 remake, same game, better graphics... I'm going to like it better... The fact that gameplay is better than graphics has already been established... Kiljoy 10-26-2007, 04:52 PM But to claim that in defense of a console seems like a crutch for fanboys. "yes but the gameplay is what really matters" thats all they say to claims of shitty graphics. I am not saying gameplay doesn't matter, because it does matter, but so do graphics, graphics are very important. Graphics are what pulls a gamer in and keeps them visually amazed, gameplay keeps them there and entertained. They go hand in hand to make a great game. Ala Douche 10-26-2007, 07:16 PM good job at bringing up this almost month-dead thread. Graphics are what pulls a gamer in that could be one of the most blindly ignorant things i've ever seen. what you should have said is "graphics is what pulled me in." Kiljoy 10-26-2007, 09:41 PM Ok douche lets say your walking through gamestop, you're looking at the things they have and you notice one of the demos running with a beautiful game with great graphics, it perks your interest and you go to investigate, playing the demo you have fun because the gameplay is fun. The graphics are what pulled you in, and the gameplay kept you there. SWSilentkiller 10-26-2007, 09:55 PM yes but kiljoy what if the graphics in the demo were good and the gameplay was bad that would put people off Kiljoy 10-26-2007, 09:58 PM Yeah, my point is they work together to make a good game, if the gameplay sucks then you will walk away, if the graphics suck you may never approach it in the first place. Ala Douche 10-26-2007, 10:09 PM i wasn't meaning to be rude in my post, but reading it again, it looks like it came off as rude... :p sorry about that. still, while i won't say you're a minority, graphics definitely aren't anywhere near the top of my requirements. i'm not saying good graphics are bad by any means, but i don't think they make or break a game is all. Kiljoy 10-26-2007, 10:14 PM No problem, I like to compare it to an article, the Headline is what they use to grab you (graphics) and the article is what keeps you (gameplay). Now I know this is a pretty rough analogy, especially considering their are more things to a game then just those two things, and in a game graphics stay with you. So please do not roast me for it. Hell Graphics and gameplay both rank lower then story for me, I just can't stand blindly going through a game without knowing or caring. Ala Douche 10-26-2007, 10:29 PM Hell Graphics and gameplay both rank lower then story for me, I just can't stand blindly going through a game without knowing or caring. completely agree with you there JAcK0R 10-26-2007, 11:19 PM I don't know about the rest of you, but Metroid Prime: Corruption and Super Mario Galaxy are pretty good shields to defend the Wii's graphics with. I mean, my God. I played the Galaxy demo today, and the framerate was drop-dead gorgeous. It all looked so smooth and crisp. SWSilentkiller 10-26-2007, 11:26 PM I played Metroid Prime 3 I own it for that matter. It is freaking awsome. Oh and Jackor if we are to defend the Wii's graphics then SSBB is the #1 choice for that. Emophia 10-27-2007, 06:50 AM Why can't we have both great gameplay and graphics? Gears of War did it, God of War did it, Ninja Giden Sigma did it, as did plenty of other games on the PS3/360... From what I see Galaxy, Brawl, and Prime are the only Wii games that are doing it... Kiljoy 10-27-2007, 07:45 AM I hated Sigma for it's controls, I could never jump right. Either I would go in a wrong direction or do a wall run on accident. Emophia 10-27-2007, 08:28 AM I think the controls were great... Especially responsive, and I never messed up in jumping... The camera was pretty lame though... Canuck 10-28-2007, 01:55 AM Hell Graphics and gameplay both rank lower then story for me, I just can't stand blindly going through a game without knowing or caring. I don't mind a crappy story so long as the gameplay is good. Battlefield 2, for example, has an almost non-existent story and yet it's ridiculously awesome and fun. I get freakin' adrenaline rushes playing that game. I love a great story, but great gameplay definitely takes a first place over story for me. And honestly, I actually prefer amazing graphics over an amazing story. I don't care so much, for example, for Oblivion's story, but I constantly find myself in awe of the beauty of the outdoor environments. They're absolutely amazing. The same goes for Halo 3's water. It's photo-****ing-realistic. It's so organic and real-looking that if the game were based in water, I could mistake it for being real. Another such game was Just Cause. The draw distances and views were the best (other then Crysis) that I'd EVER seen in a game. Ever. It's enough to distract me completely for the game and watch the scenery. That's the kind of achievement that, in my opinion, can overpower an amazing story. SWSilentkiller 10-28-2007, 09:35 AM I don't mind a crappy story so long as the gameplay is good.

I would think that type of stuff would enhance the story Sn4tcH 10-28-2007, 02:16 PM I haven't read the rest of the post, but I'll just answer the question posed in the title. I think one problem with the Wii is that most of the games are taking the wrong route with graphic. They're trying to keep it looking realistic, when they should be taking it someplace else. Look at games like, Okami, Katamari, Viewtiful Joe, Wind Waker, Killer 7. Those games look good by any standard. Why? Because they took a stylized approach to it. Those games can be on standard or HD, and it doesn't really make a big difference because of the way they made them. Now if more people took that approach to the Wii, and realized that it is not a graphical powerhouse, then we would get gorgeous games on the Wii. Mikey 10-28-2007, 10:57 PM This thread is back!! Lono you suck! lol SWSilentkiller 10-28-2007, 11:03 PM Mikey this thread was never deleted Mikey 10-29-2007, 09:40 AM oh i know....I just havent seen it active in a long time. BlueGoggles 10-30-2007, 03:34 PM Yeah, why the hell is this thread so active? It's an outragously lame topic. I vow never to post here...du'oh...again! pr0mqu33n 10-30-2007, 03:41 PM the problem is not Wii fanboys. The problem is Nintendo fanboys. People who are dedicated to nintendo will ALWAYS defend anything nintendo does, because to them, nintendo is god. Nintendo fanboys are WAY worse than any other system fanboys, because nintendo is the only company that has really been able to be a truly video game company, therefore producing unruly and psychopathic fanboys. SWSilentkiller 10-30-2007, 07:29 PM I don't know sony fanboys are pretty bad, and Halo fanboys are horrible. Emophia 10-30-2007, 07:59 PM I agree, Sony and Microsoft fanboys pale in comparrison to Nintenfags... SWSilentkiller 10-30-2007, 09:02 PM ok now that is going to far emophia Mikey 10-30-2007, 10:07 PM Well hey, I got an idea!!! Everyone who doesnt like the Nintendo Wii, DONT COME TO THE Wii FORUMS. That solves the problem right there. You dont have to hear us "Fanboys" and we dont have to hear you. Kiljoy 10-30-2007, 11:03 PM Because then the Wii forums would be a place of ignorant bliss, a land of sunshine, rainbows, and unicorn farts. ploogle 10-30-2007, 11:18 PM "HA HA! Kiljoy said Farts!" Emophia 10-31-2007, 06:22 AM Psh... I think people should input their opinion in any forum, whether they hate the PS3, Wii or 360... They should be able to go into each forum and say so, without Mikey or Rothbart freaking out over it... Farts? Isn't that going a little over the line? Mikey 10-31-2007, 07:24 AM I dont care if you post your opinion or not. But when you start insulting the member here then you going a little far. iPlayPC 10-31-2007, 11:28 AM Isn't that what these forums are sorta about? Bashing people? Emophia 10-31-2007, 01:23 PM I wasn't insulting anybody... I never called anybody a Nintenfag did I? Get your brain in gear... Duffman X18 10-31-2007, 06:48 PM They defend it because they're fanboys. All fanboys do it. What do you expect? Mikey 10-31-2007, 07:12 PM No, forums are not about bashing people. Forums are here to let members of a website discuss things. Bashing=Flaming and most forums do not allow that. This is mostly because once flaming starts it doesnt end. Emophilia (or whatever your name is) even though you didnt directly insult anyone you know exactly what you meant. Anyway to anwser this thread's topic.... Wii Fanboys dont defend the Wii's graphics. They simply say they dont really care as much for graphics as they do gameplay. Everyone loves the nextgen graphics of the 360 and PS3, but some people just dont think their neccesary and if they arent included, well thats fine. As long as their are enough good games to keep us occupied when we are bored, then everything is fine. If no one else agrees, then ok, I guess its just my opinion. ProNinjaX 11-01-2007, 04:57 AM I'm not a Wii fanboy, but I think the main reason to play a game is for the gameplay, not the graphics. You could give me the most polished graphics in a game that has no fun, and guess what? I won't get it. Fun comes before graphics. Every true gamer knows that. This argument is irrelevant. SWSilentkiller 11-01-2007, 07:54 AM finally somebody that knows what they are saying steps in Emophia 11-01-2007, 09:20 AM But it's already been said, what's wrong with having both great graphics and great gameplay?

It gets used occasionally when people come over, but otherwise it collects dust. I don't see why waving your hands around is supposed to enhance gaming at all. Where's the reward? It certainly doesn't make games any more fun. Resi 4 is arguably worse on the wii because of the controls, and I had a memory of that game being pretty? Which leads me onto graphics. Perhaps its the fact I own both a PS3 and 360, that I fail to appreciate any kind of scenarios or people the Wii attempts to render. I was mildly impressed by Red Steel back in December, but that's only because it was leagues ahead of both Zelda and Tony Hawk's. In short, when comparing the Wii to either the 360 or PS3, there's no doubt that graphics matter. The gameplay isn't more fun by any means, it just requires more effort. I'm sure the Wii's graphical capabilities are decent when you don't have any immediate comparisons to more powerful systems. Mikey 11-01-2007, 09:14 PM I can't hack my Wii...

Ok...lets here. What's a better experience, Madden for Wii, or 360 and PS3? Maybe its just me, but I think it would have to be Madden Wii, it's just so much more fun, it feels like your in the game. Madden on 360 and PS3 is just soo original, its the same game we have been playing for atleast the last 7 years. The Wii finally adds more to it and makes it enjoyable to play again. This argument goes for almost all sports games. Heard of a game called Zack and Wiki? If you have a Wii, go give it a rent, it will change the way you feel about gaming on the Wii. This game is not just a little waggle add in, this game takes the Wii to a new level. Go try it out and see if you dont agree with me. I'm not going to go into much detail about it. Madden didnt look stunning on the Wii and Zack and Wiki has cel-shaded graphics, but both games played excellently and thats what it really comes down too. Like I said before, we all like pretty graphics, but they arent suppose to make games good. I'll use a agrument I used a while back. What it better? Gran Turismo games or Need For Speed games? Clearly the anwser here is NFS, they feel better, more options and its just a better experience. We all know though that Gran Turismo games usually have the best graphics possible, especially GT 5. NFS just has a better style of playing. Once again this could just be my opinion, but I have found this to be true with many people. Kiljoy 11-01-2007, 09:19 PM Gran Turismo is better, stifle your lies! Mikey 11-01-2007, 09:31 PM Your opinion, but I think most people will side with NFS as a better racing series. SWSilentkiller 11-01-2007, 09:56 PM I like street races and customization so for me it's NFS Emophia 11-02-2007, 08:24 AM Ok...lets here. What's a better experience, Madden for Wii, or 360 and PS3?
