Problem solved, is there any reason for you to bash anybody, are you trying to get some point across, or are you just going to keep on making fun of people's genitals and calling people childish???

Most of the people on this site are 12-18 years old, I'm 19 as a matter of fact. I have a trampoline in my backyard and I like jumping on it. Am I childish, or do I like to have fun?

With how some people react with the slightest non-praising comment I would definitely say THEY have allowed their console to become such a focal point of themselves and their lives that it might as well be a part of their body.

I joined PS3 chat a little while ago. Good informative site.

If you've noticed I only insulted those who have insulted me first. My point is...if you can't take it...don't dish it out. I respect those who respect me. I have a firm belief that there are those that don't quite learn to be repectful until you break they're damn head open. Then they realize "Hey maybe I shouldn't try to insult people right off the batt. Maybe I should try and listen. Maybe we might have an understanding." Too bad they either have to get either verbally or physically smeared to get the point.

As far as having a trampoline...I'm envious..I always wanted one of those. That is having fun. However that is a poor analogy.

How about this one and you will get my point.

You're 19 you say? I take it your a reasonably intelligent fellow. Now lets say your the type that likes to read. Now being 19 years old would you prefer to go to the mainly childrens section and read Curious George and books written to appeal to a 6-10 year old? Or would you prefer sticking to something that's actually more geared towards your age group like the young adult section, maybe the periodicals, religion, science, history, fiction, bikes, babes, music, etc.

I mean come on. Barney the purple dinosaur Vs. Simpsons, Sesame Street VS. Sopranos. Understand where I'm getting at?

Sure it might be fun to go look at the "younger" material once in awhile, but to be stuck with it when you've realized you've really outgrown it after all is a totally different story.

Wii is a lightweight system, in all respects, aimed mostly at younger, or conversely much much older, and very casual gamers. They are doing this because it's a virtually untapped market until now. That's why they are selling so much. Not cause they have the best anything, but because they tapped into a market that is new and fresh and completely wide open. Nintendo basically found a gold mine which they are exploiting to the fullest.

No one said the Wii isn't fun cause it is. It's actually not "serious" or progressive enough. I'm thinking of keeping it just so I can play some of my favourite games from childhood whenever I feel nostalgic (VCgames). But I would never want it to be my main system. I've outgrown it. And by NO MEANS is that a reflection on anyone else but myself, and by no means is that meant to be an affront to someone who doesn't feel the same way about the Wii.

If I was an idiot I would stick with it. Like I said after I EXPERIENCED the PS3 not like your retarded ass. I realized I like it A LOT MORE and would get WAY MORE out of it than my Wii. All I can say is I have much higher standards than a retard like yourself. How's that for turning things back around on you dumbass?

During the last gen I owned all three systems at one point, until I eventually just played the xBox all the time. I CAN try them and see which one I prefer. I think that is better consumer-ship than just picking something and going with it regardless, and only sticking with that one thing regardless of what else may be available to you.

A console nor it's company is not a live person or a family member or something you have a REAL relationship with. Having blind allegiances especially to the inanimate objects puts you on a level that is very sub-human. Consoles and their manufacturing companies don't deserve my loyalty and they have to continually prove themselves to me or I will, as a consumer, get something that satisfies me more. If you are too dull or maybe too brain damaged (possibly?) to understand that or see the intelligence in that. You truly are a fool.

Technicically speaking, The Wii is still rare enough in Canada that I could still MAKE MONEY on selling this system. Meaning get back more than what I spent on it. Heck I did that with my gamecube back in the day. Bought it cheap at a pawn shop used it for 6 months and sold it for $30 more than what I paid for it.

I got a PS3 which is something that I know is going to satisfy me.

Hey, I still may keep the Wii and enjoy it for what its (not?) worth. But I don't think that would be too smart on my part.

Now you guys coming at me with beef. Hey, love your system, be brilliant, believe your the most elite geniuses in the world. Keep taking the fact that someone may not prefer your console of choice as a direct affront to your manhood (rather lack thereof.) Just realize one thing. Since I know you take this all too personally I'll continue to dwindle you down to size by exposing your little teeny tiny wii wii's. Understand?

that post sucked.

you dind't really prove anything, you just babbled on

you can't say you have higher standards so your moving on to the ps3, cause the ps3 isn't better than the wii, no one can say it is likewise no one could say the wii is better than the ps3...........

im' thinking your move personally would be dumb, more developers are shifting to the wii which means we'll get a lot of software, especially since your selling it righ tbefore mario strikers(the first decent online game(sorry pokemon fans)), and metroid prime 3 are coming out

i would at least wait for TGS to to happen so demand might go up for it, making you get a better price for it
...or so you can see what games will come and make sure your 100% on selling it

so why did you buy your wii, if your selling it so early?

edit: sorry didn't see your post above, nintendo is kinda shying away from the kiddie image though and going to the family image(different!)

but sadness isn't kiddie(not sure if it's first party, second or third)
and project hammer or disaster look kiddie as well

i don't think nintendo was ever kiddie, i only thought the gamecube was(sunshine, wind waker) but like i said i think nintendo is shying away from the kiddie image due to the fact that gamecube sucked

lol let me rephrase that

the ps3 is better than the wii(if you look inside, tehcnologically that is)

however i like nintendo's franchises

and i think software for the wii will overall be better than the ps3's

i personally don't think sony is a good software company
they have some good games but only some

the ps2 was successful cause it has a wide selection from third parties

Fox · 07-24-2007, 09:37 AM

@GypsyKid If only that would fit in you're sig to give a small reality check to all these fanboys. Hardcore gaming is in the classification of fun to me, and frankly, I only bought the Wii for ssbb, (only appealing title)

mushroomedmario · 07-24-2007, 09:38 AM

you don't find mp3 or mario galaxy interesting?

hmmm what about future fox games........?

Fox · 07-24-2007, 09:43 AM

"Fox" games? StarFox?
Never liked Metroid, and Mario gets more dull by the second. (And before you [go there]) Yes, Sonic is failing too. I just happen to like the games.

mushroomedmario · 07-24-2007, 09:45 AM

...yeah

sherwood3570 · 07-24-2007, 09:48 AM

GK, I'm just going to say that were cool. I didn't really pay attention to a few of the posts before you lashed out at some people. Idk, I don't even know what to say...It's way too late, 4:45 A.M. right now. I just got done kicking ass in God of War 2, man is that one hell of a game.

We bought our Wii, and so far the only games that I have kept playing are Wii Sports and The Godfather. I honestly don't think that there is any games worth buying as of now. I have the Gamecube version of TP, I might buy the Wii edition when the price goes down. I'm waiting for Metroid Prime and Mario Galaxy. Until then, I have my Dreamcast, PS2, and Xbox. That is definitely enough haha. I usually only go for one next gen system, and I am happy with my choice.

Fox · 07-24-2007, 09:52 AM

Same here...
I just stick with ps2, 360, and Dreamcast.
Gears Of War kicks so much ass... but I still crave the sinfull ps3 that makes any game sex-on-a-screen

You got it wrong again fella. The reason YOU don't get it is cause you don't really know much about the PS3 do you?

Developers are going to Wii...for a short little while...to make that quick cash while it's still a hot item. The Wii's potential is pretty limited. If you do some research you will find that developers are continually hitting ceilings with the systems. Which means they are reaching or reached the limit of what they can do, and don't have enough power and space to take things to the truly next level.

Now what does that mean for the games they develop? It means they are continually compromised in most cases. You are not getting the best that is possible because you are getting something that is a huge compromise from the developers point of view. On top of that each new game at that point is usually just a re-iteration of games from the past.

The PS3 doesn't have that problem as of yet for developers. Look at the games that are coming out for PS3. They are mindblowing both graphically and gameplay wise. There isn't a single Wii game that can top the PS3 exclusives. Metroid, mario, SSMB, none of those can hold a candle to LAIR, MGS4 etc on ANY level. Those games are just way too advanced for Wii.

I don't have to prove anything cause this post will be here for years and years. When the cap is reached for what Wii and 360 can do, and the developers creativity in making Wiimote, nunchuck, or a million other peripherals to work in new interesting ways gets depleted, and the PS3 games are kicking complete butt and the system STILL won't have reached it's potential...everyone will be running to PS3. The PS3 system is on a 10 year plan. I'm guessing the Wii is on more like 3-5 year plan.

The PS3 is a very LOOOONG range system with a lot more potential in every single way. With the complete adaptability and versatility of the machine do you honestly think that Sony isn't cable of putting out peripherals and games that will put the wiimote and nunchuck to absolute shame as well as continue to do what they are currently doing?

The same can't be said about the Wii. The Wii can never have the graphic or physics capability, the storage space required to program not only better graphics but BETTER AND MORE COMPLEX GAMING CODE. 8 gigs of storage space per disc versus 50 gigs is a HUGE difference in gaming. More code space means the potential to do A LOT more with the games.

See I'm not a small picture thinking kinda guy. I don't care that Wii is getting some developers to make some games for a year or two. I don't care that Nintendo is going to continually re-hash mario, and zelda, and samus, and whatever characters they had for 20 years ad nauseum.

Regardless, no matter what you think, there will always be developers working for PS3 looking to make the best possible games...not churn out BS games as fast as possible just to make a fast buck and capitalize on a current trend.

Plus...swinging wiimotes and chucks does get boring....quick. Now if people get sick of the Wiimote games after a year or two and people just want to go back to playing games using a regular controller, which I'm guessing is what will happen, is Wii going to be able to go an make some fantastic regular controller based games that won't seem like the caveman ages compared to the PS3? No, cause they can't. It's physically impossible for them to do so. The gameplay and looks will just be too outdated.

Anyways, I'll stop babbling here. So that the guy who accused me of babbling can go on and babble himself in a less informed and intelligent way and prove even less than I ever could.

SWEET THANKS!

uhh oka couple quick points i want to put out there
(i'm not going to spend a year argueing)
a)why did you buy your wii(question i asked that got no answer)
b)i realise the average wii game compared to the average ps3 game isn't very good due to some developers making that quick buck, but the way you were talking, it sounded like every single developer is trying to do this, there is not 1 developer that is trying to makea good game
c)you said some nintendo franchises can't compare to the ps3 exclusives on any level and i hate to be one of those people that say"gameplay is waht matters"
but yeah i would personally play ssbb(i assumed that's what you meant by ssmb) over any of those titles, and i think metroid will do good too,
d) you said the ps3 has a lot of space, but seriously i think zelda is the perfect length, i don't want a game that will last days, sure i'll get my money's worth but eventually i'll just get bored of it
e)

i know there will be developers working for the ps3, but there will be better ones working for the wii(in theory)
let's just wait to see where the next kingdom hearts game is gonna be, square enix said it'll not be called kingdom hearts 3, have a new fresh story-line, i think it would make sense

sorry i guess i dind't give quick points like i planned too.

oh well

debate if you wish

GamerCon · 07-24-2007, 10:36 AM

Not to rain on your parade MM but really, Sony has the best exclusives ever. Not just one, not two, not even ten, like 50-100. Do you think PS kicked Nintendos ass cause it had adequate, mediocre games? Nope, it had the best games. So people were getting kinda tired of Mario and Samus and old DK. Sony brought fresh new faces and fresh new ideas, as well as game play.

Im not one to say something is stupid. The remote is far from stupid, its tumbling around Tard Town. Thats great, motion yay. Why not motion and buttons...? I dont want to buy the remote, nunchuck, GC controller, classic controller and now balance board, it should all be done from one controller.

mushroomedmario · 07-24-2007, 11:01 AM

hmmmi don't really care about hte controls, it's not why i bought the wii
however

a)ddr and guitar hero kick-ass(just throwing it out there)
b)no wii games use the cube controller as of now, ssbb plan to but only at the request of several people
c)i like having two controls(not that it's a good game) but i loved web-slinging through the city in spider-man 3
d) also i think TP fitted with the controls very well

and about the sony software
idn they're fresh and what not
but will people remember that specific franchise 20 years down the road

people will remember mario games, halo and final fantasy

but i don't think any games made my sony will be remembered all that well
