Thanks for the plug, Joe. :D Oh, and that was post 131.

"117. All of the screenshots you linked could easily be done on XBox or PS2. The color palette in each is bland as heck. I fail to see how this proves him wrong, rather it makes his case very well."

Bland as heck? Of course they could be done one another platform, but that's not the argument! THe argument is the game isn't colorful and unrealistic enough, (a complaint with Wind Waker), and those screenshots effectively prove that wrong.

"oh my bad guy, that thing i said about nintendo getting its ass kicked for 10 years, i clearly made that up no?

and some other wii fan said you cant compare tp to oblivion? why not? the are both action rpg's. dont be mad because there are people out there that like graphics and gameplay."

Last I remember, the leap in graphics is becoming less and less each generation. SOURCE: http://www.pointlesswasteoftime.com/games/crash.html

Graphics aren't as important as they once were. And last *I* checked, Sony's been getting it's ass kicked in a more recent arena.

Now I'm reminded why digg is my homepage and not Joystiq:

You can read the description and title, then decide to digg it or bury it.

Enough buries, the story's deleted. This type of thing would undoubtably be sent into the black hole of digg within minutes, I assure you.

85 @nick:
"Despite having graphics and gameplay an order of magnitude above any Gamecube (Wii) game, Gears of War is one of the the most colorful games ever. Even the mines have beautiful colors all over (red, orange sparkling light coming through the top)."

Have you seen the Twilight Realm? For pete's sake! It's like an SLD trip!

"Muddy browns..."

I take it you haven't even gone through 1/100th of the game yet, seeing as how the Twilight Realm overbalances the scale in colors' favor.

"8. Ah the annoyances. My favorite part of any system launch. Anyone remember all the flak stiq took at the 360 launch?

I can't wait until they start listing them for the PS3. It'll be like the 360 launch, times 10."

Yeah, i read the title and I'm like: "It has started."

But then I calmed down and remember it's a ritual, like hazing, with Joystiq. I too look forward to the PS3's, although it wouldn't surprise me if Wii had more. The Wiimote is new *and* crucial for games, whereas the tech in the PS3 is mostly for other BS.

It will be interesting. One week to go!

"I’m not buying a PS3, by the way."
-->I highly, highly doubt this. If you're truly not, I bet you have a PSP.

"I wasn’t talking about sales. I was talking about system specs."
--> So what if the DS doesn't have "system specs"? It sells more than the Game Gear 2, oops I mean PSP.

"Zelda is and always was for kids, I grew up to realize that. I hope someday you will too. Until then though, just don’t mention it around friends or family. Aside from the single teen rated game known as Red Steel, all the other titles are ports or have shown no evidence of what rating they’ll get when they do actually release. So I don’t see what you’re getting at."
-->You seemed to accidently gloss over Blazing Angels, a WW2 shooter, and Far Cry, which has gotten an M rating. Zelda is also more mature than previous games in the series, Twilight Princess has been bumped up to a T rating.

"Would you like to give me the links to this information’s source? Also, the PS3’s controller cant be gimmicky because it’s not the only thing the PS3 has going for it."
-->I know! It has all that other stuff getting Sony into production trouble and driving up costs for gamers and developers alike!

"The internet isn’t a game kiddo, you actually have to drag your arm from top to bottom constantly. I’d rather just move a mouse on the PS3 than break my arm trying scroll through news pages on the Wii."
-->I'd rather do it on my PC than a games console. But the PS3 isn't a games console, isn't that right?

“Uh-huh. So basically your responses are pick and choose.' Well yes."
-->All the confirmation I needed.

"In comparison to what Sony has done? The Gamecube and Wii are likely, if lucky, to generate 1/3 of the PS2’s overall sales."
-->Rumble, 4-player support, first-party wireless controllers, in addition to genre definers like Mario 64 and Ocarina of Time.

"…"
--> Exactly.

"Since I’m no expert in this department, I will not make false claims. I will however point out the fact that the PS3 is in fact doing everything better than the Wii is."
-->EVERYTHING? Really? Wow, then weekly Japanese sales reports, monthly American sales reports, PS3 price, and the bad PR Sony's been getting are all lies. I see the light now!

"Yes, I agree. Morons will still use the VC feature. Just give me a name and I’ll give you a link, it’s really that simple."
-->Abiding the law is moronic?

"When did I base my entire argument on the new tech inside of the PS3’s Sixaxis controller? I’m only picking fun at the Wiimote because that’s ALL the Wii’s got."

What does the PS3 offer besides bigger space for cut scenes and demos, and prettier graphics, that the Wii doesn't? The Wii has pointing: something no other console has or has ever had.

"Laughing at obvious facts. Furthermore proves my manchild theory."
You're the one without the facts. Proof below:

"Now imagine DS Lite, but only as a console rather than a handheld. That's a Wii."
-->100,000 consoles sold a week is suddenly a bad thing?

"So out of the 60 launch titles, only one isn't a kid oriented game? Ouch..."
-->I'll run down an even bigger list so you can understand:
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
Red Steel
Far Cry: Vengence
Blazing Angels: Squadrons of WWII
Call of Duty 3
Necro-Nesia
Plus the racing, fighting, and Virtual Console games, and that's just for launch. The PS3 has...?

"You'd make a great conspiracy theorist. Lawls."
-->I'm just going on what the Warhawk guys said. Third parties also didn't learn about the feature until E3. So unlike what your weak mind has come up with, the SIXAXIS is the gimmicky controller, and the Wii remote is the revolutionary one.

"Who ever said anything about a joystick? It's mouse and keyboard enabled, meaning you don't have to break your arm trying to surf the net like on the Wii."
-->You must be a completely oblivious part of the SDF. It's been stated numerous times simple wrist motions are needed in all Wii games, except for the ones that don't even use the Wii remote.

Have you checked romnation.net lately?
-->Refer to my last response.

"That's because the question was irrelevant."
--> Uh-huh. So basically your responses are pick and choose.

"To prove the point that the PS3 is a lot more capable of bringing home an entertaining experience than a Wii will ever be. It's not a matter of fanboyism, not at all. In fact I've enjoyed many Nintendo consoles in the past. Heck, my favorite game of all time is Super Mario Brothers. It's just that Nintendo hasn't been delivering the goods these past 2 generations. I'm just here to show you that, not make you believe it."
--> Fanboy in denial. Nintendo has done many things the past 2 generations you are incapable of seeing.

"Would you like to show me some proof for that percentage?"
-->There's WarHawk... and... Madden... and... umm..?

"Multi window browsing, the ability to use a mouse and keyboard. More onboard gigs to save more photo's, songs, and videos. Like I said, you get what you pay for."
-->I'd rather pay for the experience on a PC and use it that way. Games consoles are supposed to play games.

"This makes it an under whelming experience how exactly? He just wanted to take a shot so I'm standing my ground."
-->It is severely lacking in terms of features and usability.

"Apparently you don't understand English."
--> ???

"So you replied by saying that the majority of people who buy Nintendo consoles are stupid? Well if they're paying for games that are 20 years old, there isn't a shadow of a doubt in my mind that they're complete morons."
-->No, I said people are still going to use the Virtual Console, which does have good games that you may not even be able to find ROMs for.
