Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

Is anyone still playing on the Wii?

    Man, why was the ps3 thread locked. It was useful for organizing games.

    What is this thread? (wii thread) Se actually has seemed to have stagnated a bit because we do have a bunch of all-purpose threads at the moment.

    The great irony here is that Defender has more posts, by a large margin, than anybody else in the Wii thread.

    A guy who likes to argue and tell people they are wrong is posting quite a bit in a thread where he gets to argue all the time isnt at all ironic.

    That's fine in some cases, but it doesn't work here. Each Zelda game can be the first one that a person plays. Each game is self-contained and teaches all of its own mechanics. If I gave someone a Zelda game and they had never played one before, the game would still work just fine for them; they do not need any prior knowledge or experience in order to play the game.
    I understand that. That's great for everyone born after 2002. The game is successful from a design point of view. It has failed as art.

    what in the hell are you babbling about
    art has to take into account the culture it is introduced into

    it's like showing a pollack painting to an ancient egyptian

    they're likely not gonna give a shit

    All things appear and disappear because of the concurrence of causes and conditions. Nothing ever exists entirely alone; everything is in relation to everything else.

    I didn't enjoy having to scroll past all of that. I just want to hear about what games people are playing the Wii. I'm not interested in the philosophy or semantics of vidya games. I'm interested in having fun.

    I agree that the series appears somewhat stagnant at this point. However, when establishing whether something is a new gameplay mechanic or not, in terms of grind/fetch, it is important to consider only the actual game that is being played, not previous games.

    The reason is what we call "player accessibility." If I start a game off and give the player a wide library of abilities based on the expectation that the player is intimately familiar with all (or at least many) pre-existing games in the same genre, I have made the game inaccessible to new players. That's bad design. Super Gun Biceps Warrior 3 should not expect me to have mastered twin-uzi shooting during the sideroll dodge, even if that was a major mechanic in SGBW2. It needs to reintroduce the move and give me time to learn it.

    So while I agree with your literal point, I think that you're putting that point into an inappropriate context. When a game introduces a new idea, that idea is supposed to be explored within the game itself, and it's not a grind until you get to the point where you can say "the player should have, by now, mastered this shit, and we're still making him do it." It is not reasonable to reach that point by expecting that the player purchased a separate game that was published several years ago, as it is entirely possible that the player did not.

    man, a person can enjoy entertainment without devoting a whole lot of brain power to it, and that doesn't make them a bad person.

    He often does in every Wii thread but that's primarily because a lot of people reply to his posts.

    i'm playin my JSRF just fine on my 360

    I went to go check, because the last I had heard, regular JSRF worked, but the disc with JSRF and Sega GT (which came bundled with my Xbox) didn't. And it works! And now I've got that Scapegoat Wax song stuck in my head.

    I've only played the first two areas, but the only buggy parts seem to be custom graffiti (you can't see the top third or so of the area when making it) and slight slowdown in big crowds (which I can't remember if that was in the original or not).
