No GP, the point I was making is that as market leader the Wii should have a wider variety. How can you say PS2 didn't do that? Have you not heard of Eye Toy? Or those games that use the buzzers? Or what about American Idol? PS2 had plenty of these casual non gamer games. Not to mention the most casual market of all, Sports games, dominated the PS2.
I was saying that Wii should have more of the traditional games as well as more casual games, YOU SAID that PS2 didn't even have casual games or something to that affect and that you made it sound like Wii only needed casual type games or something. That was how I was reading your comments.
You rattled off a bunch of big name PS2 titles and somehow thought I wa arguing against the system having hard core games, I know already PS2 had more traditional games, I never contested that!
I wasn't making an argument either I was defending the genres people bash because it honestly boggles my mind people can trash talk a game for not straying from the established formula and say it sucks because it doesn't innovate then turn around and bitch about heir favorite franchise getting some unwanted overhaul.
Icecold, that was over a year ago and I dropped it didn't I? Yes I honestly feel that way about Monkey Ball, the game just screams PBS kids to me, I can't do that. It's no different than Bratz or any of the Nick Toons as far as I am concerned. I should not have brought down those who enjoy the series but when I played it I felt the same as if I sat down to watch Barney and friends without my 3 year old nephew around. But Hey if you enjoy it fine. That was *MY* impression of the game.
Easycure, you're right I was mostly meaning Pro but I never can tell when he is serious or not but his repeated comments on innovations and touched a nerve.
My main gripe is the Wii doesn't have any fighting games, but with VC giving me all the classics I can live without the remakes and sequels for now. RPG's on the other hand, just because PS is more famous for them is no excuse to write the Wii off as not capable or not having the fanbase for it.
The thing is as market leader, Wii should have a wider variety than it does, PS2 did have that something for everyone even if the focus was on more action oriented games. 360 on the other hand, if you're not into First Person Shooters or Halo Clones than forget it you will be less happy than a Wii gamer into Fighting games and RPG's ,except 360 is getting more RPG's than Wii and some comments on here were saying how RPG's tend to flock to PS3 or something when I still see more on the 360 than either of the other two so I don't get that logic either.
I seam to recall an argument we had a year or two ago over SNES being superior to Genesis due to it's RPG and Fighting game library, how things have changed huh. Consequently Eternal Champions still is to this day the only fighting game I have experienced I hate. I may or may not have defended it before I don't remember but if I did it was more or less to defend the Genesis varied library over anything else.
So now re-read my previous post and re-read yours and tell me who started what please. I was only trying to defend both sides this entire thread. Because that is how I feel, both hopeful and yet dissatisfied at the same time.
