Yeah bro, those Call of Duty games that came out on Wii totally had all those dumb monkey shooter fans (Not to be confused with video game fans Wink

) sold on the Wii, obviously just one for Wii U will do the same! Call of Duty fans? More like Sheeple. aiwebs_008

Quote from Turtle:

The Prime games are totally different than the stereotypical FPS, but that's mostly because it has fun physics (as opposed to realistic physics) and colors that are not brown.

Prime 1 was not significantly different than what we'd seen from FPSes at the time of its release. Halo was changing things for the console FPS but that was not an instantaneous process.

I like turtles.

Eh, my perception is probably different because I played them all years after they were released.

Death to skinfags, sieg heil.

Without watching the video this time, that thumbnail is totally true. I'm sure in the video he twists it somehow, but stating that "The casual audience doesn't know about the gaming industry or the gaming community" is fine.

No no you see Metroid Prime is a first person adventure! It just happens that your adventure is primarily driven by shooting, but they are totally different!

Prime is a platformer. Like Mirror's Edge. This is the true way.

Can we just agree Prime is a half-assed shooter, a half-assed platformer, and a half-assed pinball-game? I pretty much summed it up for all of you:P

And yet it still manages to be one of the best games of all time in my opinion, as well as the opinions of a lot of people here from what I've gathered over the years.

If your not joking, then on the grand scheme of things you might be right. But Prime just captures the imagination of the fans, hence why so many people like it. When a game has a great feeling that you've associated with for a long time, it's hard to shrug it off and look at it for what it is. But personally I think it's still really solid

Jsnake isn't one of the games you talk about the most at its core is just a shooter? Far Cry is really as much of a normal shooter game as you can get, and that guy would certainly bash on it as well.

I don't mind if the core is shooting or platforming. It is about the quality it manages to pull off the core. I understand nostalgic reasons, but they should not hinder one to observe a game objectively. The reason I put someone's vids here is only to add some opinions to the pool in random of variation. It doesn't imply I expect him to understand much about games, and it is even unlikely that these guys do.

You're not going to really be seeing game announcements until next year or so when the console is closer to final. They only hyped up third party support this year because Nintendo is desperate to prove that this time will be different and these other developers are totally on board. Basically what they do with every console.
