Commented on 2008-02-29 03:24:44If the FACT is that the Wii is a novelty, then how come, in circus 15 years of gaming it's one of the coolest, most giddy-making aspects of this medium to some people/me?
I think it's about time people just take it or leave it and stop trying to make it into science. The thing is OBVIOUSLY not just making grannies happy, and it's frankly just patronizing to have one's opinion constantly dismissed on the basis of "being too stupid to realise it's just fun for a bit".
Gaming isn't exclusive anymore. It's outgrowing that, as expected since every art form has done so before it. Not everyone will wanna follow it wherever it goes, not everyone will agree with every direction taken and why should they? Genres divide opinions, preferences, but you're not seeing people who aren't into footie games complaining in FIFA/PES threads about how football inherently sucks (though I'm sure instances of this have been recorded).
All I'm seeing is a ton of people angry that something they can't appreciate yet firmly associate with gaming - thus their medium - is finding an audience. Yell all you want about how stupid that audience is, yell all you want at people enjoying really fancy, difficult, fucked up kinds of art too while you're at it because it's just poop on a stick. Yell at kids for laughing at stupid cartoons and yell at adults for finding meaning in The Seventh Seal.
At the end of it you'll just end up with a sore throat, arriving at the realisation that you might not ultimately enjoy every aspect of gaming, just as it's unreasonable to expect one to appreciate every *great* movie or all kinds of *great* music.

Commented on 2008-02-29 08:19:48Nintendo makes games with the desire of making something fun, and therefor the Wii is newer to me than what the other systems have to offer
Saying it's a gimmick is fine for you, but it's refreshing to me and millions of others
