Completely idiotic statement. Nintendo has some of the greatest games ever made and the main reason I want a Wii is to have acccess to those games (and the old Genesis games).

Anyone have any tip's for Gears Of War? Man this game is hard. LoL
To be more specific, no run&gun. If there is cover, use it, and use and direct your blind fire, with the axis stick, to put a hurtin' on those locust. You need to have the right weapon for the right opponent too.Originally posted by: Aikouka

Well, I can say this. I just joined Xbox Live. And being a Nintendo fanboy ever since the release of the NES.....I am the happiest ive been in two decades.
Im half way through Gears Of War. I rate this game IMO a 10/10 and im not even playing on a HD or Plasma tv yet. But will be soon.
Does the 360 games look better on HD or Plasma?

Seriously, Wii is one of the most impressive consoles I've ever had, and it hasn't reached but a fraction of its potential yet. Anyone who thinks the Wii is taking steps back and that only the other consoles are "next-gen" needs to get their head examine. PS3 and 360 are the ones who aren't moving, playing the same old games we played last year, and the year before. Having a Blu-ray or HD-DVD drive and a fancy GPU doesn't make Madden any more fun than it was the last five years, especially when those shiny graphics are a joke compared to what we have on PC already... Wii is the only one that actually makes any REAL progress, though Microsoft's well-planned online infrastruction deserves some mention.
If the Wii is "regression", then take me back to the stone age please.

Microsoft and Sony were actually both correct in saying that the Wii is a great 2nd system...
just, not to their system.
8800GTX FTW if you want the best graphics that the pathetic RSX and Xenos can only dream of putting out.
If you want a unique gaming experience on the side to a 8800GTX powerhouse, get a Wii. :thumbsup:
The 360/PS3 are jokes and pathetic excuses for hardware when it comes to putting out graphics.

The 8800GTx is definetely more powerful than either the RSX or Xenos but have you seen the graphics on some of the newer 360 titles? I would put Gears of War in with the best looking PC games out at the moment.

Do you own one?
but going on the huge number of mindless people around
So we're mindless for having a different opinion and gaming preference than you? Oh noes! :roll:
JRW: That sounds weird...I wanted to get component just for Zelda.
:\
Well you get a lot more detail in 480P vs. 480i so the component cables are still worth it. I made up a quick html with a 480i vs. 480p shot to give you an idea (both were using the Component cable ,I just switched between video modes in the Wii menu) notice the tree shrubs on the right side of the 480p pic and compare it to the 480i shot .. everything is a lot 'softer' in 480i but notice the dithering is gone: Link

They do well with what they have.
But my point was that if you desire graphics.. why get a console?
And why play the same games with the same old gamepad we've had since the N64 controller (essentially).
Buy a PC, and enjoy vastly superior graphics if thats your thing (as it is mine).
Besides, the best graphical games are FPS.. and the PC keyboard + mouse FTW anyday there as well.
If you want innovative gaming that is a step forward, the Wii is a great 2nd system.
At least, thats my perspective. I dont see the need to buy an inferior gaming system (360 or PS3) when I can have an 8800GTX.

Why get a console if you desire graphics ? Here is why I got the 360.
1) The games are fantastic.
2) If I were to get a 8800GTX, the games I play will look NO better than what they do now
at the res I play at.
3) I don't want to buy a new cpu right now to avoid bottlenecking.
4) And im sure as h3ll not buying a new monitor for extreme resolution just to use a
8800GTX
5) So all in all, ill save my almost $1500 and buy a console AND Gears Of War and spend
the other $1150 on Xmas gifts.
6) I dont want 5 chairs around my desk for family play.
7) And also not everyone wants to sit in a computer chair for hours ( especially if you got a bad back like I do ) Couch is MUCH softer...LoL
Same gamepad since N64 ? Hasnt the mouse been around for over 40 years and your still using it.
Dead Rising + GOW. So yes, games, rather than game does apply here.1) The games are fantastic.

I'm not going to bash on your particular decision.. as thats your choice and I hope you truley ARE happy with the decision deep down. Seriously.
But I think if people want graphics go PC, if they want innovation go Wii. Theres no point in people pitting the PS3/360 vs the PC when it comes to graphics.
I did find some points that I dont know if I totally agree with..
Dead Rising + GOW. So yes, games, rather than game does apply here.
I totally agree.
Yeah, but most people already have a high resolution monitor.. more so than people with 720 or 1080 HDTVs today.
My monitor is a 19in Gateway widescreen. Resolution is 1440X900. Im not sure if that is high res or not though
As far as point #5.. talking about saving money, that'd be the Wii's domain as well..
Yes, that would be in the Wii's domain. But it dont have GOW LoL
The Wii supports the living room as well as the 360 does?
I'd be more than happy with the Wii as well.....If I could find one. Ill get it after the holiday's.
Thats always been true, but being as this is a PC enthusiast site, and consolers are considered rather kiddish/noobish to being with.. I cant respect this one.
I'm not sure what you mean by kiddish/noobish.....Are you saying ALL people that play consoles act this way ? Or what ? Cause im sure most all console gamers will disagree.
Well ya. But the consoles STILL dont have it in use, in mass.
And its still best for FPS.
Though I'm highly intrigued by the Wiimote. Its actually something new, innovation is good.
This is the reason that makes PC's different from Consoles. The 360 is allready almost a PC...if the keyboard and mouse was to be used with consoles as well...then what is the point of making one or the other ?
