There is NO way this thread will come to a happy result, so just drop this.

Why? To convince people to check out games they have no idea about. People think it's cool to bash FE because of the sub-par graphics... yet they've never played it. For some reason people enjoy bashing games they've never played. Take JJ, for instance. He said he disliked point and clicks, and yet he likes Zack and Wiki a lot now that he's played it.

People think it's cool to bash games they've never played, eh... like who? Who are you talking to here by vouching for your personal enjoyment in this game? And I don't really see how I'm supposed to care about JJ's personal experience.

No, terrain advantage wasn't always in FE. Too monotonous? Oh, well, it definitely makes you think. I can see why FE is shunned ... because it actually makes you think, unlike mindless shooters like Halo 3 or whatever. Sure, there's "strategy" involved, but it just doesn't compare to Radiant Dawn's strategic elements. Also, yeah, I know you got me into it... your point being...?

So now FE makes you think, and shooters are mindless. Ever play BioShock? Oh, that's right you haven't, nor anything like it. I will agree there is a large degree of strategy involved in FE games, seeing as that is about all the game is, a giant game of complex chess (did I mention how much I love Advance Wars? At least it's stayed portable). But, there is a ton of strategy involved in Halo and all multiplayer games, and in this I get to interact with real people in a fast-paced environment with real-time action. It is completely different strategy, but still strategy, and I'll admit that Halo is probably the most "mindless" (your word) of popular multiplayer shooters, but play GRAW, or one of my favorites, Splinter Cell: CE, which required strategy, or you're liable to get shot, or get your neck snapped. This strategy is far more entertaining to me, not to mention realistic.

Maybe that's what I want from games, realism.

Oh, TBT's not the only place where I vouch for my own personal enjoyment of FE. Trust me, I talk about it at... many other places.

I said mindless shooters LIKE Halo 3. Bioshock is not even remotely similar to Halo 3. Also, you mention a fast-paced environment in Halo 3. Maybe that's why you dislike FE... it's anything but fast paced. You need to sit down, take your time... think about it. In Halo 3-esque games, everything is done as you go... i.e., really quickly.

Realism? Admittedly, you're not getting it from FE. I mean... do people go turn-by-turn in real life? I play a lot of games, and to be honest, I like realistic AND unrealistic games. Also, I admit I've never played either GRAW or Splinter Cell: CE, so I'll take your word for it.

I'm supposed to just believe that... OK.

No you didn't say mindless shooters like Halo 3, you said mindless shooters. And yes it is similar. You have guns, you kill things to progress (in campaign that is). And thanks, I know how FE works, remember I introduced it to you (hur hur). But I prefer slower paced games for things like handhelds, as when I'm playing them I usually don't have something better to be doing.

Realism? Admittedly, you're not getting it from FE. I mean... do people go turn-by-turn in real life? I play a lot of games, and to be honest, I like realistic AND unrealistic games. Also, I admit I've never played either GRAW or Splinter Cell: CE, so I'll take your word for it.

I've never played GRAW either, and if you're going to get a SC game, get the newest one, Double Agent. But how many good realistic games are on the Wii? TP has fantasy elements, but since it is fairly realistic I'll let you have that one anyways.

I remember the days I would spend hanging upside down while watching someone run around looking for me, then I drop on their heads. Hee hee.

Fab, you said it... those are the games that YOU prefer. Not a lot of people - well, the 13 million who bought Wiis, I guess. But the 13 million who bought 360s do... that's all that needs to be said.

The types of gameplay aren't mutually exclusive to each platform.

I think it's funny no one has even mentioned the PS3 in this thread. We can all agree that the PS3 fails.

I prefer the PS3 over Wii.

But truthfully, PS3 has had a bad start. Now it's cheaper, with a very good amount of good games coming out.

The 13 million people who bought Wiis are mostly people who don't know a thing about games and just want to use Wii as a way to lose weight.

Face it people:

XBOX 360 and PS3 - primary audience are hardcore gamers that Nintendo has lost if those hardcore gamers aren't total Nintendo obsessed fanboys.

Wii - primary audience are non-gamers. Are any of you on this forum non-gamers? Probably not.

 

[Bulerias]

I do not see how the Wii's primary audience is non-gamers. In fact, as of late, a TON more "hardcore" gamer games have been coming out, like it or not.

Name some please.


And actually I would like it, I own almost every Nintendo system. The Wii has simply dissapointed me.

Oh boy... you really want me to make a list?

NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams
Medal of Honor 2: Heroes
Super Mario Galaxy
Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn
Guitar Hero III
Dance Dance Revolution: Hottest Party
Soulcalibur Legends
Zack & Wiki
Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles

All from the top of my head... bound to be more.

 

[Bulerias]

Woah, can't believe I forgot the best third party game coming in early 2008 - No More Heroes. Kyle, you like GTA? This will be like the best game ever for you.

 

[Bulerias]

OK, more games.

Trauma Center: New Blood
Nitrobike (early 08 I think)

so there you go... most of these games are third party.

Super Mario Galaxy, Guitar Hero III, and Dance Dance Revolution: Hottest Party aren't really that hardcore... (BTW, GHIII shouldn't count because it came out for other systems also)

Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles isn't really a real RE game, its a light gunish game, its not as hardcore...

 

[Micah]

Galaxy is hardcore. <_<

It's a new Mario platformer. Don't get confused behind the "kiddy" art style.

Mario Galaxy, not hardcore? OK, did you get all 120 stars? The difficulty is NOT for casuals in any way, shape, or form. Guitar Hero III shouldn't be counted? Then why did JJ/Mino count all those multiplatform 360 games?

Also, Umbrella Chronicles is also pretty dang difficult from what I've heard. Sure, not the standard RE game, but... is anything on Wii standard?

Fine, lets say galaxy is hardcore.

Also, I don't care what JJ or Mino counted, this is what I'm counting now. I almost never count multiplatform games, unless there is a significant difference in the versions.
