Re: Why does the Wii suck?

I own a 360, a PS3 80 GB and a wii


sorry, but to speak the truth, i use the wii quite more often than the 360, AND WAY A LOT more than ps3, actually, the only reason i brought the PS3 was none the less than Metal Gear 4, hahaha

the reason Wii is so adictive its because it breaks by the "common gaming method", by actually making you do something else than sit and eat or sorts.

I think theres a documented info arround there that some guy actually lost weight by playing box on the wii

the real value of the 360 can be resumed on this: ONLINE GAMEPLAY, truly, the wii can be accurately marked as a "pimped out game cube", since it uses the same graphics standards, but the completely different interfase on how should one game is simply too attractive, specially for the children.

oh, and yes, guitar hero rules, but even more, ROCK BAND! specially at a party!, just the idea of playing with 4 kind of instruments, well, the real challenge is the synch beetween the participants, i ve tried it, and im definetly getting one!

Re: Why does the Wii suck?

using your 360 more is your choice since you could have bought Rock Band and Guitar Hero both for PS3. :P

There are plenty of great games out for ps3 now, it's just no one that is into 360 really bothers looking. (Ratchet and Clank, Heavenly Sword, Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Resistance: Fall of Man, Uncharted, Warhawk(multiplayer only), Virtua Fighter 5, Conan, Unreal Tournament, and theres at least a few more but it's early in the morning and i can't think lol).

As far as multiplayer online, I've never really seen anything on Wii worth playing online multiplayer for...PS3 and 360 really are a toss up between which to play online.

The only game i'd buy for Wii is Metroid(and maybe Zelda) and it's been done two other times...The graphics on the Wii are barely any better than the gamecube had and there isn't really much room for improvement. You wonder why game developers don't want to make the game for it? The controls are drastically different and so are the graphics, you can't switch nearly as easily to the Wii as you can between PS3 and 360.

We've had a few recent polls of who likes which system more and almost every one the ps3 has won. The 360 fanboys are just in denial. Wii unfortunately needs to have some better games developed for it. I was excited when it came out and applauded it's originality, but without games it isn't much fun. I'd much rather buy the cross console games that come out for my ps3 than for Wii simply because the controls are easier on the ps3. If it is written for the Wii it is usually more fun that way, but most of what is written just for the Wii isn't as good story-wise. Which is why so many people are so disappointed.

The Wii's gameplay gets less and less intresting over time, imo.

At this point though, it is really just a toss up but in the long run PS3 has far more potential.

The reason Wii has sold more is A. Cost efficteveness and B. Innovativeness. That said, PS3 and 360 have pulled in more money because they need to sell less to make what Wii does with a couple sales. The majority of Wii's sales were in the beginning, now they hardly ever sell(ask any local store). Everyone who wanted one already bought one and now the games they've been releasing as of late and for the next year are all either cross console or they suck. And why would you buy a game that has worse graphics on the Wii when you could get it on 360 or PS3? Besides which, anything difficult is much easier to play on PS3 or 360. While the controls are fun for some games, it makes challenging games almost impossible.
What about GTA IV? And the extras only available to Xbox. Oh yeah, guess you forgot about that.

The Wii, is, cheap and fun, but the novelty soon wares off. It is great fun. It is engaging. The only thing that could make it better is actually better hardware. I can pick out flaws on Wii Sports, that dont have to be there.

Re: Why does the Wii suck?

Reading through this thread, I'm coming to the conclusion that many opinions are based on looking for flaws in the console, and pointing them out, but never referring to flaws in the "winning" console.

I can pick out flaws in many XBOX360 and PS3 games that don't have to be there, either. And they have 'super' systems.

Control methods are hardly a manner of judging games. You can get used to any controls, and generally, you have to actually practice a bit. This means that people that are slightly lazy might fall of the bus.

The Wii does lack one thing : Good games. In my opinion, I'd get Pkmn Battle Revolution (to continue the series at least), as well as Twilight Princess. Other games that are emerging include Super Smash Brothers Brawl, which will probably be one of the most popular party games released (in your face MARIOKART).
Further, there is a slight lacking in interesting games. Developers are yet to start to really get into designing software to fit the new way the Wii works.

Re: Why does the Wii suck?

What is with all the console whacking. One is not better, maybe you are a teenager that refuses to like any other console becuase you spent your money on a different one. Or maybe not. What you have to remember is that the Wii is geared towards kids and older people. Not towards people interested in shooting games and war kind of stuff.

What about GTA? GTA is not a big deal, it's the same game, remade. You can only kill, drive, shoot so many ways with the same basic system of doing something and it be fun. Starting with San Andreas, the series lost it's fun element by not adding enough to make the game fun for more than a day. The little new things about each game are fun for right about that length of time. GTA IV is the same as every other GTA game after a bit.

As for the comment about adjusting to the controls...I can't. My hands aren't steady enough to. No amount of practice will EVER fix that. None of my friends that own the Wii have improved enough either with most challenging games. Easy games are about the only place they can improve. Same goes for me but even less than them.

Re: Why does the Wii suck?

I don't atually have a Wii but from what I've heard and seen it is actually quite good. My friend has one game, not sure what it's called but it's definitely very violent apparently. I have to say though - if all I had was like the Wii Sports game etc. I would probably get very bored of it.
At the moment though I'm fine playing my PS2
