Sold My Wii

[senjuro]

Firstly, what Halo clones? If you're talking about Mass Effect then i can't help you there, nor with Bioshock because i don't own them.

If it's a crappy first person shooter that isn't a Halo game, a CoD game, or made by Valve (ie. Haze, Too Human, Far Cry, etc.)

I just don't like the controllers that you get with the Wii; I'm all for new technology, just not for the ones that alienate me. For instance, the 360 has wireless controllers. Now, this is an acceptable form of new technology because the old Xbox had roughly the same handsets and making them wireless was just a really good idea.

The Wii controllers all communicate with the Wii via wireless Bluetooth communication.

Nintendo thought it would be a great idea if they made a completely NEW controller for their new console, one which required you to use physical ability to play your games. One where you could also attach it to many (profitable) pieces of plastic, which were given unique names such as "Wii Blaster" (not Gun for some reason) or "Wiichuck". And thats what i really don't like about the Wii, the controllers were not only wrong but terrible to use!

It was called the Wii Blaster to come across similarly as the NES lightgun, the Zapper. Also, games that have used motion to play games have been around for ages, and I'm NOT talking about the Power Glove. I mean arcade racing games that had wheels, bike chasis, and so on. And your opinion, while valid, kind of goes contrary to popular opinion. I mean, the Wii was only just recently overtaken by the 360 in terms of sales.

Take for example if i'm playing Wii Tennis or whatever it's called at Ghostiemon's house, and it's my turn to swing. How am i supposed to know how much power i put behind it and where i swing? I don't get a meter, i don't have any buttons to press, i just swing! and it doesn't work because i swing as hard as i can at the middle of the screen, thinking that the console would sort it out with some hidden handicap system. but no! all i get is a ball clobbered in the net and stress levels that not even Left 4 Dead can endure.

lol, I would've laughed if I saw that, mainly because people who freak out at games amuse me to no end. You sound like you just need to take a deep breath and relax!

You even admitted Senjuro that you don't even play Brawl anymore. How the hell is it possible to neglect a game where Konami, Sega and Nintendo characters, accompanied by epic music, fight each other into submission? How can a game which was hyped up in the gaming community then suddenly become "Super Smash Bros: Brawl; Meh"?

I dunno...to me it's a pretty shallow fighting game. Not as shallow as Mortal Kombat, but nowhere near as deep as DoA (which is ultra twitchy) or Street Fighter (the meter stick against which we all judge fighting games).
