*sigh* here we go again


seriously...how much metroid can we take? i mean honestly, nintendo is killing metroid and killing it good. how many times can we lose our equipment, fight space pirates, find our equipment, fight metroids, kill everything alien living on/in a planet, kill that ritarded Ripley, and then do it all over again?

its just like the mario series. or the zelda series. nintendo just keeps pumping out identical games that look or feel just a little different until they brainwash the consumers.

and by god is it just me, or is the Wii controller just stupid?

hey andre im not trying to force my opinion on people, im just giving my opinion, which is what these threads are for: letting people express their opinion. sorry if it seemed like i was "forcing my opinion" to you.

reply

Well, about the wii controler....It's just you. As for the game, I think you have a valid point. However I wouldn't go as far as to say that they're "killing it". I do agree that almost every metroid game in the past few years has been almost identical. However, that doens't mean that they aren't fun. No matter how many times Samus gets cloned, Nintendo still manages to make the games entertaining.

reply

i love the wiimote personally. on another note, nintendo doesnt really have very original story lines, they are good, but its normally the same thing in the last game like you said. the way nintendo stands out is fantastic gameplay. they excell in that area in my opinion.

reply

In my opinion, I never thought of Nintendo sequels in any franchise to truly be sequels, but almost... a new installment. You know, kind of like the Madden series. A new one comes out and you replace the old one. It's basically the same game but has new features.

I look at it like that. Mario, as a platformer, for me, will always be fun, regardless of the storyline.

Metroid will also be cool, I trust.

Just think of them as games to replace the older one, rather than a completely new experience. After all, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

reply

oh... okay then. so in your opinion, i should dish out some cash just to play an updated version of the same game then?

all i'm asking for is at least a change in story line. stuff the pirates and metroids and lets do something completely new for a change. like metroid fusion which had you up against a dark version of yourself. like spiderman and venom or something.

and please...no friggen Ripley...


Y have a signature when u can waste everybody's time with a completely useless sentence?

reply

Metroid Fusion had almost the same story elements as Metroid Prime 2. Yes, I DO recommend a Wii though, it beats the crap out of the PS3 and 360.

reply

WEll DAve your recommendation for the games has been pretty well used. The metroids haven't been used too much in the prime games except the end of Prime 1. However you do face the dark Samus in Prime 2 and have the new enemies with the ing that can inhabit other life forms like the X parasite. Also in my opinion while the stories are similar and the basic game the same the new 3-d aspect makes it feel a lot different to me from the old 2-d ones. Besides it's not like they decided to just pump out a new one, they've said from early on this was going to be a trilogy.

ah yes, the nintendo IS the fastest selling system to date. mainly because it's cheaper than the otehr consoles and appeals to a much larger percentage of consumers. that being...kids. yeah yeah dont flame me saying the wii is not for kids bla bla ive heard it all before. truth is, nintendo dishes out way more kiddy games than the ps3 and 360 put together. the nintendo is technically not the best console, and does not have the best games. im trying to avoid including bias in this post but here it comes out in the following statement. in my opinion, 360 has the best all-round games (yes i have a 360) and the ps3 is the best console (well...on paper anyway. i cant say that ive ever played the ps3 neither have i seen it being played) the wii STILL cant play DVDs or CDs because they persist with the mini discs (their only reason is to say that the nintendo is a GAMING CONSOLE and designed solely for games. but really, it doesnt cost that much to add a friggen dvd player to it.)

crap i changed subject. ignore this post if you must. i really do not want to have a fanboy console war on the internet. its pointless and no im not going to post the stats of the consoles as that is also pointless. we all know that the ps3 is the best, 360 second, and wii the worst. on the wii, perfectly decent games like splinter cell: double agent and farcry have ebeen shot to $H!T because the control layout and graphics are turd. yet games like wario ware get scores of 9.6 . WTF? and yes here i am giving wario ware crap because i personally think it is. it was a game made purely to show off the motion tracking abilities of the wii contoller. here we are fishing and houla hoops are swinging around me and here im lifting weights and here im doing this and that stupid pointless activities. but wait...its FUN! pffft, play the game in a room by yourself and the fun factor drops to ZERO. seriously, games like that are only worth playing if there are other people in the room laughing with or AT you.

im sure the wii is great for sport games where a bit of movement is logically applied but so far, FPS and adventure platform games are falling flat on their faces.


CRAP! DAMNIT! i think im on the verge of starting a fanboy console war! please dont go on a crusade after reading this letter. just read it and post "dave_dbz11 go *beep* yourself. wii rules" or something along those lines. i dont really wanna read through paragraphs of some crap you write unless its worth reading. constructed crtisism please with facts. hmm...someones gonna go and prove me wrong that my post has no constructed critisism and has no facts and stupid dave mentioned the fact that he hasnt even played a wii . yeah whatever. go for it. give me crap i can take it just dont go on a war path. and be prepared for a reply if i get a stupid reply sent my way. ahh screw it just give me crap i dont care. jeez i'll shut up now. have fun thinking of ways to murder me

People on these boards can't spell. Anyway, it is stupid for anyone to hug one console. I find that naive and blind. We have to keep an open mind and we must not judge games on their origin of console. Metroid and Halo are as different from each other as an apple is to an orange. They may both be in first person, but Metroid is more of an adventurer and Halo is a pure action FPS. It is foolish for gamers to put down other gamers just because they own a system they don't. No PS3 does not suck. Same with the Wii and the 360. They all have their strong points and their weak points, but it is intorable for someone to label a system "gay" or something other. And to the person above, noob is slang for newbie, which is slang for new comer. In no way does redundant mean "using more words than necessary," but it is the action of exceeding what is necessary or normal; or duplication.

reply

Seriously! If you already have a CD and DVD player, then the Wii doesn't need one. All 3 are great systems, and each has their own unique franchise. Also, to the previous poster, Thank you. THAT is the true definition of noob. Just enjoy the systems and their games, no one system is better than the other.

[deleted]

Ha ha. Wiilover thinks noob means a guy that doesn't know what he is doing. That's actually called a newbie. That is also a term used on many sport teams and games. Mainly the online games. A noob is a person who doesn't know what he is doing, talking about, but won't admit that and will try insulting the person or saying this is superior without using any facts.

and it hasnt given us anything since
excluding those 3 franchises

yea, because the wii and gamecube offered the best gameplay ever, rite?
no.
wrong.
stop being so closed minded
you prolbably played a 360 twice, and never played a PS3
360 keeps pumping out solid game after solid game
PS3 has some really cool, good games coming.
you act like if a game has good graphics, it must suck.
and that's another point where you are wrong.
I mean what has Wii given us so far, Paper Mario and a Gamecube port Zelda
I'm not say the sucks like how you say the Xbox and playstation( I did pay $250 for it ) but the furture is not bright for the Wii( not sales wise, but just for my taste)

Call of Duty 2(not 3, 3 sucked)
Viva Pinata
Guitar Hero 2
Dead or Alive 4
Prey
Tome Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas
Tony Hawk's Project 8

Coming Up (only the highly expected ones).....

Bioshock
Blue Dragon
Devil May Cry 4
Fable 2
GTA IV
John Woo's Stranglehold
Kane and Lynch: Dead Men
Resident Evil 5
Shadowrun
Timeshift
Too Human


By the way, Zelda TP is a port from the Gamecube, it was originally created for the Gamecube, but Nintendo held its release because it really didn't have any other good titles for the Wii's early life(although, I did enjoy Wii Sports ), the real Zelda wii game is coming late '08 to early '09.

Also, I'M not going to go on bashing or praising a system that I've played once at Target, that would be noobish, childish, and stupid.

Also, anyone with a brain could figure out that the controllers are attached to the machine because they don't want anybody walking out with it.

So please don't go posting rambling un-thoughtout postings because you are only making a fool out of yourself.

But you played for -two hours.- If you didn't like the game you werew playing the first five minutes, then why'd you insist on playing it any further? To prevent others from possibly enjoying it? I played a PS3 at a store once. I thought it was a great system, I just didn't like the game. I think that's your biggest problem, you can't seem to judge things properly.
You can't judge a game console by the games and you can judge games by the console. If the was a Zelda game for the Xbox, I'd play it and probably like it. But what would you do? Would you play the game because it's Zelda or would you not because it's on an Xbox?

In Halo 3 you're not a soldier. You're a traveling salesman distributing death in bulk.

You do make a fool out of yourself!
You claim me of not posting any good 360 games, while you are raving about super minkey ball Bannana Blitz or something
Then I post a list a games, and you start RANTING about Zelda. Because you were afraid because compared to 360 Wii has got sh!t.

(If you are going to list games, please include highly respected, or highly anticipated games, not just any game you can think of off the top of your head)

I honestly feel very let down by the Wii
believe me, I'm not anti-nintendo
I've owned(I believe) every system
NES
SNES
N64
Gb
GBC
GBA
GBASP
DS
DS LITE
GC
Wii


and the only 2 I feel nintendo screwed up on are GC and Wii
both systems seem to be built around 3 or 4 games, and everything else is garbage
I mean
I LOVE SSBM, but SSBB doesn't even look so good and I think I'll be selling myy Wii before it comes out.
NEARLY every game the Wii has put out OR is going to put out is some childish cartoony atempt at pleasing their market of 5-12 year olds

"so there you go i like more game then just zelda. do you like more games then just halo or fps games hahahahahahahahahahahaha"
So because I happen to like Halo, I must love every crappy FPS clone that comes out, please........ grow up.

reply

[deleted]

I'm 16.
Yes I have owned all of those systems(some were "handmedowns").
What I meant by childish has nothing to do with graphics, it has to do with the games themselves. Viva Pinata was a childish game, but it was suprisingly addictive and had deep immersive gameplay. It was not just a bunch of mini-games stuck together.

reply

Okay. So the 360 have Viva Pinata. With the exception of the Starwars and Zelda games, the Wii has nothing -but- childish games. And it doens't matter how old the people playing the console are. The problem with the Wii isn't just that the graphics are the worst of this generation, but the games are also the worst. Maybe if they got new ideas it'd be better. The Wii targets everyone, gamers or not. The 360 and PS3 target gamers alone and that's why the games that come out are so good. And so what if the Wii is selling faster? It's cheaper, because the quality is so bad. And you think Mircrosoft needs to grow up? How about Halo 3, Gears of War, Call of Duty? Are those childish? I think not, my foolish friend. And you can't say what a video game is supposed to look like. Video games vary depending on the capabilities and what the game makers want to show. Microsoft makes games with good graphics because they're constantly trying to make things more realistic so that the gamers can become more immersed in the gameplay. When I play a wii, I'm almost completely distracted by the number of polygons I can see on the screen. Wiilover88, grow up, get a life, and stop being stupid.

Are you saying Resident Evil 4 is better because it -looks- better? What about the whole thing about how graphics don't make a good game?
And it seems you missed what andre18920 was saying, so I'll explain.

You, wiilover88, said this, "the cube version is a lot more better."

The problem with this sentence is the word "more." It shows that you don't have much of an education. The proper way to say it would be this, "The Cube version is a lot better."

So, andre18920 is right, you -do- need to stop being stupid.

Once again, I never said good graphics make a good game. For the one-thousandth time, I say good -gameplay- makes a good game. Obviously you aren't paying attention to anyone's responses.
And people do love the PS3 and the 360. That's why they've -already- bought them. The N64 was a good console, but people just don't buy it anymore beacsue they already have it. Or maybe they don't buy it because it's a little more expensive.
Quite a few people care about Halo 3, Call of Duty, and Gears of War. That's probably why they sell so good. But I guess the whole game of the year stuff doesn't really mean much to you. If it's not for Nintendo then obviously it isn't good. How moronic of you.
And I'm sorry, but Call of Duty( You know, based on WWII) is not mindless. I'd like you to say that to a veteran. And Halo and Gears of War aren't mindless shooting. Sometimes the story gets a little strange, but at least it's not as mindless as Mario where you jump on things to kill them and you fight a big turtle. I think the problem is, -you- are mindless.
And I'm truely sorry you don't understand what a polygon is. I figured my statement was pretty self-explanitory, but it appears you just don't know what's going on.
So, I will explain my statement about the polygons. My brother owns a rather large television and he owns a 360. I often go to his apartment and play Call of Duty with him. When I see that game, I look at the screen and think it's rather amazing how real it looks. I also have a friend that owns a much smaller television and he owned a Wii. (He sold it because it was so crappy, but he kept his 360.) I used to plpay Wii with him, but it was a little sad. Even on the TV less than half the size of my brother's, I could still see the individual polygons on the screen. If you don't understand what a polygon is, then I suggest looking it up. I don't really feel like explaining it to a child today.

i rather liked dbz when it was on tv over here. dbgt sucked a bit. but anyways, that was over 5 years ago. im 17 now and couldn't care less what cartoons are on. except south park. cause south park has balls.

back to the topic of the post now...anyone else gonna flame me some more about why i dislike their favourite game?? i don't know about you, but the screenshots i've seen of metroid 3 are really quite pathetic in relation to what games are circulating around at the moment. i've heard that the wii can't even handle the graphics capabilities of the original xbox...which i thought was pretty weird. can i get anyone to confirm or discard this statement please?

i'm sorry, but if you think metroid 3 is going to kick halo 3's a$$...then go take a hike. they're two different games which you can't compare to every little fine detail. metroid doesn't allow you to drive vehicles (unless their set-pieces) and you can't even pick up the weapons of dead enemies. you get health and random rocket ammo from killing things.



and yes, i am a stupid xbox 360/halo fanboy. you're a stupid wii/metroid 3 fanboy. what are you going to do about it? yeah that's right, go and flame me.
