Re: Why does the Wii suck?

I don't think it sucks, but I think many non-casual gamers will find it highly overrated.

I own one, a modded one, and I've found only three or four games that I'm willing to spend more than an hour or two on total, the rest always seem to be grabs for money based around the Wii-mote and it's use. There's nothing I hate more about the Wii than when I pick up a game and it's like "hey! wave that wiimote around even though it makes no sense involving the game!" Zack and Wiki is wii-mote manipulation done right, but many other titles have fallen short in that section for me.

Now, graphics. I know I'd like to say that graphics don't matter in the least bit, but they do. When I own a PC, a PS3, and a Wii, and I have to pay the same money for games on each system, I'm going to opt for the one of the first two unless the Wii game really knocks my socks off with awesomeness. Why? Because contrary to the ideas of Wii fanatics across the nation, Gameplay and graphics can coexist...in fact, great graphics can really drive the point home on a great game (see: Bioshock).

I dunno. I'm getting all ranty here. I'm sure the Wii has plenty of time to shine and it will most certainly dominate the casual gaming field for a long time. I can only hope, though, that developers stop piling on their shovelware and actually come out with some unique games for the system.

I don't mean to pick at your argument, but the reason those extras are only available on the 360 is an incredibly large sum of money doled out by MS to Rockstar to keep the DLC solely on the box.

Those videos were great.

My opinion.....all consoles suck in their own special, unique way. I bought a PS3 for my son (7). He used it for a week or so and went back to his computer. It now collects dust. I don't play it because I have something 10 times better........a PC!

Re: Why does the Wii suck?

In the end it all comes down to what you want as a gamer. If you want the absolute best graphics possible, you buy the best possible computer you can get and get Crysis or Bioshock or another computer game. If you want the best game play you buy a Wii. If you want to buy a crapload of games so you can have a variety you buy a 360 and if you want a good combination of everything above you go with the PS3. If RPG games are your thing PS3 is your console. If driving games are your thing PS3 (well once Gran Turismo comes out, but NFS already has games out for it) or 360. If shooters are your thing right now you go 360 but once Haze is out you can go with PS3 or 360. If online gaming is your thing go with a computer (MMORPGs) or your choice of PS3 or 360 for console gaming. 360 has more online features, but PS3 is free and fully functional (and comes standard with wireless...if you have a full strength signal that is).

The other thing is, PS3 is stronger than most computers out and you can use USB mouse and keyboard and install Windows, Linux and OSX(OSX not confirmed but that is what I've been told) and play PC games on it as well.

As for why Wii sucks, once more it's game selection and graphics. Its so much harder making games for Wii when you have to downgrade all the graphics and change all the controls.

So, on a side note, who's watching E3?

Re: Why does the Wii suck?

Sucks is a matter of opinion. Would you say that disneyland "sucks" because it's not full of blood and guts?

Re: Why does the Wii suck?

The Wii is simply the most fun gaming system out currently. The PS3, for example, simply rehashes old games with newer graphics.

Re: Why does the Wii suck?

the wii nvr has and nvr will suck, but the ds wasn't nintendo's greatest idea. u practically need three hands to play, because you need to for the buttons and another to use the stylus. the only game i've evr liked on ds is nintendogs, because the dogs are so stupid! lol

Re: Why does the Wii suck?

Mario Kart is fun on the DS, but that's just about the only good game for it besides Nindendogs.
