Blas, have you seen the new Red Steel trailer? I need money

 

[블라스]

There's a new trailer??

 

[War Party]

I hope Red Steel is solid. But Zelda is all I'm going to need at launch. Maybe one more game.

Yes, and make sure to watch it in quicktime. Unfortunately, this one doesn't feature my clone

The graphics look much better from when I saw the game last time.

The video before from Germany didn't have a lot of the graphical features that were being implemented that week and the one before :\

The only thing that sucks about the 250 Wii price tag is that the haters will have some ammunition.

An example would be a few of these posts froma nother forum I visit.

Hm, I don't see Nintendo as having a huge advantage anymore. Wii was supposed to be cheap, 250 isn't cheap.

No DVD thing is lame, honestly. I use my PS2 for DVD playback and having to hook up a previous generation machine 'cause my new piece of hardware can't play a movie? Boooo.

Nov.19 @ $250?...$50 too much..

Seriously, to think that Nintendo will lose an advantage because 250 isn't cheap is...flat out stupid. Bells and whistles will only get you so far, and I agree with people who say DVD playback is useless. I hate the fact that it was ever added in now. Sure, back when the PS2 launched it was cool, now it's just over done.

As I get older I only want to play games. I don't want to watch movies on my game systems or hand helds. I want to PLAY games on them. No more, no less. And if I ever get so lazy to where I can't get up and unplug one system to plug in another.....that's when I stop playing games.

Sometimes I hate calling myself a gamer, simply because most of our fellow gamers...well...make others look bad.

Haters = Worthless, and a waste of oxygen.

Don't mind them.

 

[Benstamania]

Yeah, I know. I should honestly post here more often then I do there. I'm a mod though...so...

When your the only one defending Nintendo it's hard not to mind them. I'm just absolutely starting to hate these dolts that say "The Wii is NOT a next gen system" or "What if the Wiimote gets boring real quick?" Yet you can't say things like "What if Blue Ray fails?" Or "what if people simply refuse to pay 600 bucks for a system?"

It's times like that when I hate being a gamer. I KNOW I leave people like that get to me to much....but it's almost impossible not to.

Anyway, Woo! Wii soon!

 

[블라스]

Me and Thwip were talking about that the other day, people are just stupid

 

[Benstamania]

You and Thwip seem to be the type of gamer I am. In all honesty I could careless about graphics. I don't want to watch movies on my systems (or hand helds) I just want to play games now.

I honestly think that most next gen systems should just offer us better online functions. Yes, graphics can be nice but I've played so many games with "awesome" graphics that flat out suck AS games that I just don't really care about graphics anymore.

It's a main reason why I LOVE the DS, simple graphics, quarky games....loads of fun. I remember when that's what gaming was about. Now it's less about fun and how much "blood" we have in games.

I guess I'm just getting old.

 

[Axid]

 

[Benstamania]

What's weird is I just bought that box set.....

 

[블라스]

We're not old...we're just more savvy gamers I guess

Thwip's a big graphics ****e though...then again, he knows how to have fun with games like San Andreas, because if you look past the (now) horribly dated graphics and violence...it's just too much fun to ride around on the bike and jump

To me, it's always going to be the gameplay.

If I can get a game that's available on more than 1 platform, of course I'll go with the most high-tech one, but the gameplay and story are always a must

That's why I think I'm going to have a HELL of a time with the Wii...

Nintendo is ALWAYS about the games....people can b1tch all they want about them not being "next-gen", but I'll take an innovative and fun Metroid experience for example, over any cliched sci-fi FPS like Prey.

You know where I'm going with this...

Thwip only comes in here when Sony angers him more

Well this is awesome news for you Wii fans, i'd buy one but i'm putting my money towards PS3 and then having the 400 left over and putting that towards a car

But I hope you guys enjoy the Wii, hopefully it cripples the PS3 launch so that I can get a PS3 But yeah this console looks sweet, i'm mad that it costs $240 thats so high for a game console

 

[THE LIZARD#1]
