Next Gen War

I'd rather play a shitty-looking game that's really fun over a graphically-impressive game that's no fun.

Just sayin'.

No one except that new dude who used "u" and "ur" has said that graphics don't matter. Everyone on this side of the argument has said that graphics aren't the only thing, and frankly, they're not the most important thing.

To be fair, Joust wasn't just talking about graphics either (we will ignore dog$'s semantics babbling). He was talking about system power and the kind of things that a more powerful system can do, aside from just pumping out good graphics, that help with creating a more immersive experience (more interactive environments, better physics, etc.).

Are you saying Joust is making legitimate arguments rather than slamming his hands into his keyboard in a frothy rage over a system he hasn't spent a dime on?

Well, amidst all that hand-slamming are some decent points. You just have to wade through all the junk.

i don’t come to a message board to have to do work to understand someone.

Tell that to John and Sega Saturn X.

Anyway, that's not what I meant. The things Joust says aren't hard to understand. It's that his good points are far and few between.

Spoken like a true Jaguar fan!

[Yoshi]

Actually, no. The Jaguar was the graphically impressive but no fun alernative to the shitty looking but awesome Genesis and SNES at the time, with some obvious exceptions.

Yeah, but no one (except retards perhaps) has been pretending that Wii is the end-all-and-be-all of consoles, and if you aren't A) into the motion control B) living in a communal atmosphere with non- or casual gamers or C) a Nintendo fanboy you probably shouldn't buy it. But that does not make it suck or shitty or half-assed or a cash run.

And I love all these criticisms launched at Wii Sports ignore the fact that it's basically a blow-up demo pack thrown in for free. It's just something to fuck around with. But some people can't comprehend that THAT'S ALL VIDEOGAMES REALLY ARE.

And for all the bitching about Zelda...if you don't want to play it on Wii...guess what? YOU DON'T FUCKING HAVE TO. It's still coming out for GC in a month or whatever. Can't wait that long? Then you need to go REEVALUATE YOUR FUCKING LIFE. Thanks.

But it IS half-assed and a cash run. The flagship title is a GAMECUBE PORT. Secondly, it's great that Nintendo makes money on every unit. Why couln't they make a more powerful console and sell it at a loss instead of a cheap one and sell it at a profit? Are they scared that there won't be many games to compensate for the money they lose on the system?
