^Or at the very least a few awesome light-gun titles. This'd be a great opportunity for Sega to release some kind of 'Virtua Cop' collection.

Demonicus Prime · 02-01-2008, 07:13 AM

I was playing Time Crisis 4, and I started thinking, "Why the friggin' hell doesn't Nintendo jump on this?" I mean come on, FPS and RPG are my 2 favorite genres, and if 360 is making both of those very well, why not the big N? THEY MADE A GUN PERIPHREAL, USE IT. Urgh. <.<

FPS and the Wii-setup doesn't translate that well IMO.

Mouse-keyboard > 360 gamepad > PS3 gamepad > Wiimote

**Booyakasha** · 02-01-2008, 11:55 PM

^Well, yeah. We were talking about light-gun games, though. You know, rail shooters.

Totally agree about the controllers.

Irkenwarrior12 · 02-03-2008, 08:16 PM

*ahem*

I bought Dead Rising.

I can only begin to imagine how well-versed you are.

Dead Rising is an excellent choice.

Irkenwarrior12 · 02-03-2008, 09:07 PM

It's super fun. But the saves and tiny text piss me off.

**Booyakasha** · 02-03-2008, 10:38 PM

...I can't help but notice that, while at the store you presumably visited for the sole purpose of buying 'Just Cause', you seem to have slipped up and bought a different game entirely. Bummer. Better luck next time, man.

Demonicus Prime · 02-04-2008, 07:04 AM

Hey now, I like Just Cause, but if you don't have Dead Rising you have to go with that, Boo.

**Booyakasha** · 02-04-2008, 08:35 AM

I was being jokey. Sort of.

Demonicus Prime · 02-04-2008, 07:33 PM

Just eat your peas, grandpa.

Irkenwarrior12 · 02-04-2008, 10:45 PM

Eh. I have twenty dollars left. I'll buy Just Cause next. Maybe.

Demonicus Prime · 02-05-2008, 07:07 AM

~~You could donate that to an anti-cause~~ Yeah, that sounds like a good idea.

**Booyakasha** · 02-06-2008, 09:55 AM

^^And then someone will say, "Hey, why are you buying that game in particular?" And you can say, "Just 'cause." And then you can totally high-five.

It's not the Wii's fault you have no coordination, man. </cynic's approach>

Just because you want to hate the system doesn't make it reality. Open-mindedness is key. Wii controls aren't perfect for hairpin turns, but they're much more precise. You might have gotten good with analogue controls, but FPS honestly doesn't translate too well to analogue. Maybe a double-joystick approach would be more appropriate, ala Descent. Still, the Wii's point-to-aim approach is pretty efficient and fun to use.

Yeah, I'd love to see more rail-shooters. Umbrella Chronicles is a step in the right direction.

360-wise, I'm most interested in Lost Planet. I haven't actually seen it, and I remember the concept looked pretty rad. Capcom tends to make games that are either amazingly good or frighteningly awful. I also want to know more about Alan Wake. Despite it's general unoriginality as far as other media goes, I'm not used to seeing that kind of indepth and solid concept in videogames. Things people consider to be realistic/reality based are always war games or GTA styled crap. Resident Evil is cool, but it's more along the lines of a B-rated movie than something particularily classy.

**Booyakasha** · 02-06-2008, 06:28 PM

'Lost Planet' is really good. I haven't played much of it yet (the scenery is all-too-depressingly-familiar), but everything's there. Hard as nails, too, but that's Capcom for you.

I'm not even going to elaborate.

^Don't be that guy, YF. You're better than that.

Demonicus Prime · 02-07-2008, 07:07 AM

I'm sorry, but Lost Planet ranks up there with Two Worlds with me. Everyone has their tastes, but running around in a story-less bug shooter doesn't appeal to me. I guess it's the bug thing, or the camera. I don't really know, I just know that I didn't like it at all.

Internet Predator · 02-09-2008, 08:04 AM

Dude, I'm the Retro Nintendo mod. If you think any of the games on the NES aside from Ninja Gaiden have a story, you've been playing the wrong system.

Boo and I tend to prescribe to the philosophy that less words and more action equals all the formula you need to make a kickass game.

MASTER USING IT AND YOU CAN HAVE THIS.
