How many women talk about needing HD to get any immersion?

That's right, we aren't as shallow to need High Definition for immersion. Point taken!

I'm just not excited for this game. I don't know why.

Because you are a goober?

I think I'll just rent this one, as my oversized thumbs will become frustrated using the d pad on the wiimote.  Looking forward to it though, and curious to see who'll play along with me.

Why don't you play it with the nunchuck?

Honestly I never get immersed, I get counter-immersed (the window dressing fades from my mind as only the pure mechanics remain) and from what I understand pretty much everyone does (it's the way the male mind works). The theatre of the mind does not include that which requires no imagination.

Everyone does not equal the male gender.

Immersion is subjective, for me I don't find it immersive when I have to aim with an analog stick. In fact that sucks me right out of a game, while games on PC or Wii which utilize aiming I find much more immersible because of the ease to aim. It can have all the flashy graphics and set pieces in the world (which the CoD series basically is, lots of different action set pieces) but if I have to control it with a dual analog controller all of that goes down the drain fast when it comes to my enjoyment.

Content may not be sacrificed, but meaning is. Why bother with a version of a piece of art that is far and away from the author's intentional meaning? Graphical fidelity has a larger meaning here than just pretty pictures.

What's lost is the immersion factor.  Modern Warfare was so good on 360 because it was so immersive, due to its incredibly lifelike visuals and sound design.  Its controls were tight and it had some minor design innovations, but its true raison d'etre was its visceral delivery of the combat experience.  It eclipsed everything up to that point.

Take that away, and you don't have much.

Eclipsed everything? Someone obviously didn't play the previous 3 CoD games. Also Crysis blows it away in visuals, and innovations. I get sick of people forgetting the Cs oD series existed in a similar form on PC long before it was, gimp..., I mean ported on consoles. I loved the series at one time but i grew tired of it right around the time it became the cool thing to think it was the bestest game ever.

I know how the game is played, but I don't remember how to play the game.

strategy, angles, peoples bluff tells, and things of that sort.

The biggest liar has the best chance.

Wii Fit Plus is $100 and people eat that up.

Wii Fit Plus is at 99.99 which is a mental barrier. To most people, as illogical as it sounds see $119.90 as much more.

I guess so. But I still think that Khushrenada should have realized that I wouldn't have missed the hit on the first day if I were the godfather.

Sexism he thinks because you are a woman that you can't accomplish a hit like a man.

Will the game use any of the DS's features?If so what are they and how are they used in the game?

Probably have to blow some candles out with the mic, or maybe really mix it up and have you blow into the mic in order to move around.

Those aren't good numbers for the Wii version of DJ Hero. Isn't the Wii audience notorious for scooping up anything with an accessory?

The numbers for the game are atrocious period, it is just that the Wii's numbers are worse.

I'm definitely keeping my eyes on the reviews for this one.  I have a pre-order, but the fact that we've heard next to nothing about this game from Konami in months makes me think they didn't put their full effort behind this one.

Because on Wii if a 3rd party doesn't market or push a game heavily it will obviously suck.

I'm not addicted to anything at all.

"Vampires" is all I'll say on that matter at the moment.

I am a vampire, so I can't be addicted to them. So THERE.
