Alegis Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Some reviews are in: Dude, don't read gamespot Wii reviews. Check out their Xbox 360 reviews and xbox point spaming, but definitely not the Wii platform. The idiots can't figure out how to use the controller, and the Zelda review was a goddamn disgrace. Not because of the "low" score, but of the bull**** in the article. The X360 fanboy made no effort to hide his disgust " ... to save some princess named zelda" And bash things that are zelda elements. Yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coupes. Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 ^ I agree, The guy reviewing the game has bashed the very same things every other reviewers praised (game "formula", controls, etc.). It's hard to take him seriously, especially sice he also gave Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 a 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TiE23 Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Dude, don't read gamespot Wii reviews. Check out their Xbox 360 reviews and xbox point spaming, but definitely not the Wii platform. The idiots can't figure out how to use the controller, and the Zelda review was a goddamn disgrace. 360 only has 4 Editor's Choice awards there after a year, PDZ (undeserving), GRAW, GoW, and TESIV. Not because of the "low" score, but of the bull**** in the article. The X360 fanboy made no effort to hide his disgust " ... to save some princess named zelda" And bash things that are zelda elements. Yeah. Well, I don't think he was disgusted, and I'm pretty sure that was a joke about Zelda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abespam Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Okay, screw this, with GameRankings.com: Reviews XBOX 360 Mean: 79.1% (Not counting Arcade games) Max at: 90.1% (COD2) Crap: 75.5% (NBA Live '06) 79% mean with the lowest 75.5%, now i dont know that much maths but to me that means the majority of games are .... crap. Seriously don't read too much into review scores, its more about the information regarding overall gameplay rather than whether sound is a 8.5 or 9.

Alegis Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Dec 8th.. I NEED YOU NOW Well, I don't think he was disgusted, and I'm pretty sure that was a joke about Zelda. Try reading the article. It's bullcrap. As shown in this vid, the fatlards have no idea how to use the thing. From several videos their disdain for the Wii is very apparant. The main bad points in the review, why it was undeserving of +9, was that it was bring zelda elements back. Not revolutionary enough. While 'Gears of War' is the damn revolution itself according to him: Gears of War is all about ducking, covering, and blasting your enemies whenever they give you an opening. Holy **** that's new. You know you're dealing with idiots when the points they bash on are praised by all other sites (because it IS zelda). You do NOT review a game of a series which promised to bring old gameplay elements back and complain they bring them back. It is as if I'd review an FPS and whine about all the shooting. "Zelda is bad because its 'too Zelda' ". Thats what bothering us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BongoBob Posted November 22, 2006 Author Share Posted November 22, 2006 They can't figure out why it won't go straight, but they're sitting down. How the f*** could you even play Wii Sports Bowling like that o.0 I can't believe the amount of bullcrap they spew >< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TiE23 Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Bah, that's okay. I'm going to get WindWaker tomorrow, I'll get Twilight Princess when it comes out for the GC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abespam Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 How can u play that sitting down, he reminds me of comic book guy. Obviously using the wiimote is a different skill to button-coordination that most gamers are used to. It seems like this douche just isnt that coordinated with anything more than his fingers and thus complains about the poor gameplay because of it. http://nexgenwars.com/ Wii is 10% of 360 sales in 2 days ... sweet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alegis Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 http://nexgenwars.com/ Wii is 10% of 360 sales in 2 days ... sweet Estimates, estimates. It basically just takes time and research to estimate the numbers as closely as possible. What I have done is gotten charts of monthly sales for the past few years, and figured out certain trends. Then I have gotten past sales data and estimated the pace at which the consoles will sell. After I have the estimate and the counter running, I just watch out for anny official announcements, and adjust anything accordingly. The site has been up since early July, and I haven't had to adjust the sales for the Xbox 360 since then. So far my estimation method has been pretty much right on. Now for the new consoles it is a little harder since there is no previous sales data to go off of. What I do for these is research how many they are expecting to have on launch and by the end of the year. For the launch counter I get it to around the number expected, and then I slow it down to pace it so that it will reach a good estimate for the end of the year, and as usual I will adjust anything if any official word comes in. Not really going to pay much attention to those numbers for now I'm worried now. Apparantly the shop where I pre-ordered has a list, not sure which number I am now. Probably somewhere in +50 at least. Some other pals from a forum mailed to Nintendo Benelux and shop in order to get some more info on the launch. i'm going to die if I don't get zelda at a reasonable time before my exams.
