Wii owners seem hopeful today. I don't know what to make of it.

Forecast seems cloudy, Pro?

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #1451 on:** June 23, 2009, 01:25:23 PM »

So called GS and Walmart. GS isn't getting it till tomorrow.
Walmart might have it later today. Best buy will have it tomorrow.

So I have my plans set for today. Try and grab it from Target or Walmart.

Isn't Gamestop the only place offering the collector's edition?

This ain't Red Steak, but does CondomUnit prevent that?

Please stop calling it CondomUnit, that name always makes me think you're referring to the Wii Motion Plus because of that sleeve it comes with.

The problem is I am going on vacation Thursday, so I will only get one day with the game unless I find it early.

Are you planning on dying on this vacation?

Quite possibly. I made a comment last night that an anticipated game was releasing this week, but I chose the vacation over the game. This somehow was also the wrong choice.

Yes it was/is. I had a dream your plane was taken over by Aliens and you were nver seen from again.

We're driving. In fact, we'll probably drive past your house.

Read through IGN's review and it's quite encouraging. I've got a busy week ahead so buying the game on day one wouldn't do me any good since I don't have to time to play it. That'll give me time to see what some of the other sites think and, most importantly, what NWR thinks. I'll be able to get impressions from people who bought it as well.
Here's the bigger question:

Are you even going to buy it? :/

Quote from: NinGurl69 *huggles on June 23, 2009, 12:56:04 PM
Most of northern California will not get it today despite NOA moving here, and it's always been that way. Ship dates are simply days to be disappointed, unless there was a plan for stores to carry advanced stock.
My local Wal-Mart sucks for game releases. Unlike other stores, it takes TWO more days for them to get it.

My wal-mart sucks worse then your wal-mart, they only put new games on the shelves on Tuesday for the most part (unless they street dated), so if I don't see a game on Tuesday I don't expect it in until the following week. Which is why I buy from my local gamestop where the people are nice, and they get games in on time.

My Wal-mart is the suckiest cuz theres some dude named Richard there who cut holes in his uniform so his man-nipples stick out. Its disguuuusting.

Maybe you can stop buy and play a game or two! Just be sure to bring your own CondomUnit since GP already said she won't have one until Tuesday. bow-chika-wow-wow

"A portion of a GamePro review...

Faulty controls and an utterly confusing story hamper down what could've been an otherwise fantastic title, but even with its shortcomings, The Conduit serves as a fun, interesting take on the FPS genre for the Wii."

Is there where the Gaming Press finally wages war on each other, leading to their self destruction?

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #1462 on:** June 23, 2009, 02:50:25 PM »

I guess I am going out tomorrow to get this.

Cassamaniac Video Review

Gamepro review, followed by angry mob

Considering the bread and butter of the game is the online mode, and both sites had major issues (both couldn't access online at the press event, and IGN had lag issues just playing a few people from HVS and Sega), I'm going to hold off on purchasing until I know its not another "Brawl".

From crappro

Quote

he Conduit doesn't blow Goldeneye's graphics out of the water the way Halo 3 outshines the original Halo or Killzone 2 completely destroys the original Killzone? I don't place the blame on High Voltage at all on this one, though -- they did a great job of squeezing every last drop of performance out of the Wii's tiny, bumblebee-like engine.

Quote

I almost couldn't help but wonder what the game would have been like on the 360 or PS3; I'm sure with the extra legroom, High Voltage could have presented a far more visually pleasing game.

Quote

What I couldn't stand, however, was the use of motion controls; for whatever reason, High Voltage mapped two critical functions -- grenade throwing and melee-to motion controls but even my grandmother knows that that was a dumb move.

Durr, maybe he should have remapped those features? Durr.

. I can't speak for the multiplayer because I didn't experience it

Review phails after reading comments like that.

Sounds like he's addressing screenshots.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #1466 on:** June 23, 2009, 03:06:39 PM »

The reviewer's probably a genius and knows he'll drive the most site traffic this way.

Peachylala · « **Reply #1467 on:** June 23, 2009, 03:11:25 PM »

I didn't know this game was suppose to be like MGS4.

Pointing at things is easy but when you point off screen and your character starts spinning around, it might turn someone off the game.

You can turn that off!

But holy crap. Now I've never really read Gamepro at all, but are they really that fantastically idiotic? Are they really that f***ing STUPID?

Also anyone that says it doesn't "blow" away Goldeneye's visually, is well, an idiot to blunt.

I have to say, I agree with you 100%

I said i have faith in HVS doing top-notch controls because they really seem to care about that (as well as their graphics engine) but its still a wait and see situation because i don't know even know if she'll like the game at all regardless if it controls well.

Why are we even still talking about this though lol

Oh and that review was turd and so was the reviwer.

I noticed that, it was hilarious because the review pretty much insulted the game throughout.
