[citation][nom]esrever[/nom]I never got why people bought consoles at launch. Next to no good games and really pricy to boot.[/citation]
partially because there is always at least one good game around launch, but also, it can be very hard to get a console around launch, and the year following it.
like it or not, the wiiu game to get is nintendo land, sure, single player it sucks, but nintendo has been about the party game for what... sense the n64 with mario party... if you get 4 or 5 people together you cant have more fun with a game if you tried.
it will probably take a year for the great solo games to come out, but what was it with the wii, it was hard to get one for what, 3 years after lauch?
[citation][nom]gardoversoza[/nom]COD, D3, BF3?? LOL another wannabe-gamer troll who evaluates games solely on graphics.I dare you try Nintendo Land. There's a reason why the Wii U has been selling out.Gameplay > Graphics[/citation]
ill give him that the communities that tend to follow those 3 games get somewhat ruined by the kids who play those games and want to say their first swear word or racial slur, but i think he is also equateing nintendo to being a easy console, so they want all games easier... and while i agree to that with party games, when nintendo wants to be hard, they don't pull punches.
[citation][nom]tiret[/nom]my comment had nothing to with graphics - it is related to casual console gamers who cry when they try their hand at "real" games with hardcore players because all they know is mario bro's.anyway i can see we on different sides of the fence - no point.[/citation]
sorry, but you went with a casual experiance and than equated a hard core one to cod bf3 and d3, you are wrong. all those games brought in the main stream gamers and have suffered to extents because of it. not saying there are no hardcore games, but you have 3 games that refined themselves to appeal to all, not just a hardcore and eff everyone else.
remember ninja gaiden, mainly Tomonobu Itagaki. he has a hard core attitude with game design, he is quoted to saying something along the lines o "i make games i want to play, if you dont like them, eff off"
while he was there he made no attempt at making his games easier or bending over for things his fans wanted.
thats what i consider a hard core game mentality.
