Wii Bad for the Industry

[Spasmolytic]

A: "I don't like Bacon, Lettuce, or Tomato... PBJ for life!"

B: "PB&J Sandwhich Co. isn't going to attract the BLT crowd, which holds a large percentage of sandwhich sales."

A: "What do you mean? There's a B in PBJ and there's a B in BLT. It's just as good."

B: "BLT and PBJ are different. PBJ isn't meant to have Bacon, Lettuce, or Tomato."

A: "BUT, you fail to see that it CAN have BLT. What makes you think that it's not capable?"

B: "Umm, weren't you just saying you don't like Bacon, Lettuce, or Tomato? Besides, I think you're missing the point; There are sandwhiches for BLT and there are sandwhiches for PBJ. Each company knew what they were doing when they chose one or the other."

A: "PB&J Sandwhich Co. is capable of making BLTs... in fact, my PB&J IS a BLT."

B: *sigh*

yes. I own a 360 for the best graphics and larger games.

I will own a Wii, for other types of games.

Bad for industry. Quite the contrary. I haven't played an EPIC game since ff7. I don't have time or patience for it.

I'll pick up zelda though.

Seriously, I'd rather have super monkey ball over monster hunter, or oblivion any day.

im pretty sure my point has been proven over and over in this thread...Darkmaster (as usual) knows what he's talking about, knows what I'm talking about, and Spas' copy/pasted definition fits right into what I was talking about.

I think some people have the concept of 'epic' relating more to quality than scale. My Big Fat Greek Wedding was far more profitable (or at least, in terms of %) than King Kong was. Which is the epic?\

I didn't read all of the agruements in this thread ( sorry I'm a biut lazy this morning) but whilst people were debating about rather the wii would have epic games, I remember 1 game that came out about 8 years ago and that MGS on ps1, now that was epic. At the time it had what people would deem as top motch graphics but looking back at the graphics now, they really don't look that good but you know what? It's still epic!!!

I think a good story and the way that that story is told is the foundation of an epic game.
The graphics as well as the music ( especially the music) then help tell that story. So I personally believe that epic games can be done on the wii, and I also believe that with the controller that developers can also make you feel a lot more involved in an epic quest once the controller is used correctly.

Well that's my 3 cents neways
