Wii. How the hell are videogames going to grow up and evolve as an artform if people just wanna waggle peices of plastic frantically infront of a TV to cheap minigames with no more depth than pong. I'm not saying like "all games should be like gears of war", that game isn't what I mean by "grown up". Blah whatever. I just miss being excited about games I guess.
I agree, it seems games have actually got less complex since the days of super nintendo and gameboy. They are trying to make people who never even played games as children to play them, which is fairly pointless.
they need to bring back 2d platformers with a vengeance. and games with story lines that rival the classics. fuck the bullshit. and fuck these clone sequels. its making me ill.
i think a lot of people have now forgotten why the wii was made in the first place. it was designed to create a new way of GAMEPLAY not GRAPHICS. Also people seem to forget that nintendo is a family gaming company. all Nintendo games are meant to be enjoyed with family members young and old which is why simplicity is best because it allows people who have never played the wii before to pick it up and just simply have fun together. thats a video games purpose. a source of fun. and the wii is meant to turn non-players into players or at least to get them to try it. and if you don't like the wii then you don't have play it. the console is family oriented. i think its funny how some people complain about how parents should hate video games and not want anything to do with it, but what people seem to forget is that just because your parents or whoever like the wii fit, for example, doesn't mean they are going to try a game like Resistance Fall of Man or call of duty 4.
Why wave a plastic thing infront of the TV when you can go out and throw a ball around or mount a bike
But it happens in all media... some people just want to go the easy way on design
first game i'm been excited for since nhl 2004.
Last game which was really (and I mean really) good was The Witcher.
Nintendo is trying to destroy videogames from inside.
They are evil.
And ubisoft, they are evil too.
AND the new Half Life episodes out next year.
I dont have a Wii. The only thing Ive ever played on it was Twilight Princess and that was worth it.
