I don't understand where people are getting the "parody" from. Perhaps "tribute" is a better word here...
So, let's say I'm a blogger who lives in Mexico but posts on a site based in the US... do I have to disclose anything?

Wow, that discussion about dreams is just...
wow.
Great show this week, guys. As far as games permeating your thoughts after hours upon hours of gameplay, I seem to recall this happening back in 99-00 with Snood. Ugh. Stupid, stupid snood.
I hope you never have nightmares about the dope fish or playing Mega Man and falling down a deep water level where a freakishly huge octopus pops out of nowhere and attacks you.
I think 10/10 is justified in only the rarest of circumstances, but based on the fact that both the single-player AND multiplayer are supposedly amazing, I can see it with Uncharted 2. The first game is easily 9/10 for me, and that's with a few flaws and no multiplayer component.
The argument will never be over because there's no way to satisfactorily prove either side's argument.
Regardless of what you come up with, the counter argument to it is to point out that only 5 third-party Wii games (not counting World of Goo, which I'm treating as something different) achieved a Metacritic score of 90 or better, and all of them are either rhythm games or last-gen ports. That means that no third parties have actually put forth enough effort on the Wii to be able to tell whether good Wii games sell or not. (By the way, of those 5 games, and throw in number 6, Tiger Woods 10 with an 88, only one hasn't sold well, Okami, which didn't do any better on the PS2)
Zack and Wiki, The Conduit, and Madworld
None of those games would have done any better saleswise on the 360; Zack & Wiki and Madworld were very niche and The Conduit was solid but nothing special compared to other games in the genre. Your argument doesn't work without examples of high quality games on the Wii that didn't sell well and would have sold well on the 360.
I've just finished playing the original Uncharted, and it's a true gem (it's the real successor to RE4, I think; has much of the same vibe, and way better than RE5).
By all reports Uncharted 2 is significantly better, and that's really saying something...
QuoteProvide a list of the Top 10 3rd party games on all 3 consoles.The only PS3 third party games I know that sell well is Street Fighter 4, GTA4, RE5 and MGS4 (lookee all the fours!). Batman: AA is selling well from what I hear, and isn't over-rated trash from what I've heard.
X360: Street Fighter 4, some FPS games, GTA4, Batman: AA, RE5.
That's all I know of right now. Sales figures would be great.
I swear, that has to be the most pessimistic game I've ever played. Hopefully this new version improves a great deal on the original.
I think that would mean more hardcore RPG-playing type peoples exist on the Wii there, yes?
Or has DQ succumb to the TAINT of casual?
Maybe it's always been casual, to the horror of traditional game proponents. Like a cultural favorite, like the Disney brand or Bugs Bunny or Georgio Lucaski's Star Milk Francise Wars.
And the business angle is retarded, because even WITH their haphazard, awful support, some third parties still manage to do better on the Wii, despite all the sabotage. The highest selling game Sega's ever made is a Wii game, Mario and Sonic @ Olympics. Capcom's highest selling game in Japan, despite it being their ONLY real Wii game this generation, outsold everything they've published on other consoles. I believe that DQX will outsell FFXIII there too.
eh...looks like fun to me
don't we already have a thread for this?

memory like an elephant
I feel like every week I listen Adolf Vega gets a question answered. On top of that, when you consider the fact that he also gets a question answered every week on GameScoop, its really unfair to the rest of us. Liiiike. Really unfair.
That makes it all the more depressing. Thanks a lot for bringing that up.
My point relies on a large body of shovelware crap, only 3 of which I specfiically named (and for the record, I don't care if people only bought Wii Play for the remote. They still bought it). If you want more, go look at Metacritic or something. There's certainly been no shortage of it.But how many of the games sold well?
Your point relies on the games being garbage, and three of the four aren't. Ubisoft's games didn't sell nearly as well of the other three because they really aren't any good.Wii Play being placed in the list of "garbage' is silly at best, most people bought it for the extra controller. The game is a fun, though shallow experience that is well worth the $10. Also Carnival Games is far from being garbage either, it may not be amazing but it is a solid casual game.
You may disagree with my list of games, but do you disagree with my point?

To jump up and touch the bar with their fingers is worthy of high-fives for them. They've figured out this whole blue ocean revenue bizniss.
