In Goldeneye the enemies duplicate on some levels. Using the aforementioned Bunker 2 level as an example, if you don't take out the guards residing in the side rooms they will spawn to infinity. After you take them out the spawning will stop.

You should have bought it! It is ridiculously fun online!

Did NWR authorize the use of this review for this article?

NWR_Lindy · « **Reply #53 on:** July 02, 2009, 08:48:13 PM »

No, but that's fine. They're giving us some pub so that's good.

Caliban · « **Reply #54 on:** July 02, 2009, 09:17:21 PM »

Cool.

I find it interesting they left out IGN's score of 8.6

Thats what I was thinking when I saw it.

Include NWR but leave out IGN? didn't make much sense unless they like what was said specifically in the review from NWR.

Because IGN is awesomer than IGN. That chart there, see, was not about Conduit ratings. It was about website awesomeness. And NWR is at the top if it.

Bald headed affirmative action!

LOL yeah, I thought it was curious that they left out IGN's score as well, when it was higher than ours. They also left out the six other reviews that were in the 8 to 8.5 range, immediately leading to comment thread cries of an inflated score due to Nintendo fanboyism on our behalf (since nobody that read that article would actually go to Metacritic to check out the entire range of review scores, and where we placed on it).

If they only knew that my checkered past includes me pretty much being considered an anti-Nintendo PS3 fanboy troll on my own website's forums.

Sheesh, Lindy never misses an opportunity to mention the PS3, does he?

NWR_Lindy · « **Reply #61 on:** July 05, 2009, 04:57:43 PM »

It's not so much the PS3 as it is the irony.

Stratos · « **Reply #62 on:** July 05, 2009, 06:10:13 PM »

As your sig now proudly boasts, you trolled said forums on your honeymoon, too. I find that ironic as well.

Frame rate sucks in Conduit especially in Multiplayer.

The game feels chintzy.

On the other hand there hasn't been an fps on the Wii since Medal of Honor if I remember right so Wii owners who want an fps on the system are starving. And when you're starving folks will eat anything.

Framerate sucks? It may not be super smooth but it is fine fo rme.

Eat anything? Must be why I also have a good gaming PC, 360 and PS3 as well yet still enjoy the game?

Seriously! I own all 3 consoles and I still enjoy this game.

It runs 30fps. Your internet connection probably sucks is why you are lagging online.

You forgot about CoD:WaW.

Before playing a game with a bad framerate, I play Super Doom. If you think that The Conduit has a choppy framerate, play a little Super Doom before playing The Conduit. It will make even something like Perfect Dark seem smooth as butter in comparison.

I really am tired of that argument being used that it is all Wii owners can get. That is saying Lindy, who is pretty open about his love for games on other systems is not giving his true opinion. People, like me, enjoy it because it is a throw back to games like PD, when things were simpler and yes even more chaotic. Not only that bu the controls are FUN.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #69 on:** July 07, 2009, 04:30:56 PM »

Wii owners are like the fat ugly guy at the prom, they'll take anything they can get.

I have a theory that some "hard-core gamers" are trying to assert themselves after being picked on by bullies in school. They have become the bullies. WHO'S THE TOUGH GUY NOW VINNY

I think that applies to PSP owners. If you saw the PSP release schedule this year it rivals the GameCube release schedule when it was on it's last legs.

Is there even a release date for over there? I know HVS's WiiWare games have yet to go across the Atlantic.

OOOh! It's this friday apparently....

Nice turnaround. I hope there is no PAL issues like with Madworld.
