[QUOTE="Shadow2k6"][QUOTE="Tylendal"][QUOTE="Willy105"][QUOTE="Mega_Man_ZXN"]To me, a good story in a game is important. Give me a REASON to keep playing.

There is a reason. IT'S CALLED FUN.

If you only keep playing the game to see what comes next in the story, than it's failed as a game, and has become a chore.

Then I guess most RPGs fail as a game since the main draw point is the story.

RPGs that let only their stories carry them are the same ones that scores high 6s and low 7s.

Well, even with a decent combat system, if the story is made of suck and fail, it's a disappointment in my eyes. In the case of FFXII, the pacing was terrible IMO, and the story was sub-standard for an FF, and even if the gameplay had its merits it had some failings to. But that's just what I thought of it. But it got a lot of high scores just because of the FF brand name.

I like your account name, TC. :DX_CAPCOM_X

Yes, Capcom fan 4 life, brudda. Bionic Commando looks sweet even though there was like all of 4 or 5 preview pics.

It hasn't lived up to itself or all the early hype, I know. Its just tacky.

But your going to get eaten alive by the fanboys :(

When you and the TC are the only ones attacking the Wii, I think that makes YOU the fanboy. :(

If I was attacking the Wii, I'd be using the Wiimote to bash the console into nothing. :)

How about because the first level was fun and chances are the second one will be too?

Forget gaming, sounds like you need a library card son

If plot didn't matter, we'd all still be playing Battletoads or somesuch. (I kid) But seriously, plot can be important, like in an RPG. Or even an action game, like MGS. Plot IS important, and one thing I love about great single-player experiences is finding out the twists and big revelations later in the story.

[QUOTE="Mega_Man_ZXN"][QUOTE="Bread_or_Decide"]

You know what worries me? They are porting over those CATZ and DOGZ games from the DS to the Wii.

Nintendo..control the content on your console darn it!

sps9

Which brings me back to the point of the game being flooded with mostly mediocre games. I mean, I know the PS3 still doesn't have a HUGE library of must-haves, but even it has some very good stuff, and I've got 4 solid games for it (3 exclusive, 1 non). When I look at the Wii selection at the store, I think, "Meh, 3rd-party crap rushed out to make a buck" and "First-party titles that might be fun but feature 20-year-old mascots"

Yeah because god knows you can't enjoy a game if the characters have been in another game before.

Guess what - Transformers were out 20 years ago. Did you like the Transformers movie? If you did, you are a hypocrite.

Same with Spiderman.

Seriously, grow up

Right, because the Transformers movie was pretty much the same thing as G1. *Rolls eyes* In case you haven't noticed, Transformers actually reinvented itself a number of times, such as Beast Wars in the '90s, which really wasn't anything like the original, and not just because the characters turned into animals. But unless I'm wrong, the Nintendo franchises use the same storylines and plot devices over and over. Sure, there's always Optimus and Megatron as there are Link and Ganon, but one uses at least somewhat varied plots while the other more or less always defaults to "Ganon is threatening the kingdom and kidnapped the Princess". And Mario also has to save the Princess. I can't tell you how much I hate "Save the Princess!" stories, because in 20 years of progression where more and more female characters are becoming bad-asses who can handle themselves (see: Resident Evil, the women in Metal Gear [even though they aren't playable, they can still handle themselves for the most part], etc. for examples of this), we have Nintendo publish a title where the women are helpless and need to be saved by a MAN (Metroid is the exception to this, obviously). Let's hear it for progress.

I have a great idea. don't buy a wii. if it does not appeal to you then do not buy it. another person who is interested in trying something new will buy the wii you would have wasted and have a great time with it. problem solved now go back to gamefaqs forums. good bye.

Let's see, about half the people here have replied in a mature fashion, and some are displaying the same mentality that DOMINATES GFAQs. Feeling at home already!

You brought it upon yourself trying to come in here and push your opinion on to others. Also talk about emulation here is a bannable offense. If you plan on posting here for an extended period of time you might want to edit your OP.

I feel disgraced that a poster such as you bares a user name with any regards to Megaman or any of his other iterations.

...I never stated my opinions as FACT. You Ninty diehards take everything the wrong way.

1. Swinging a remote

2. This is a big one...the games just aren't all that great for the most part.

3. VC is a ripoff. Who wants to pay exorbitant fees for outdated games

Blackbond

Go back to Gamefaqs, We don't need another fanboy here.

Uh-huh. I'm the fanboy here...look, I supported Nintendo for years, I've played nearly every console of theirs, but just because I don't immediately dig the Wii I'm a hater. Beautiful Ninty fan logic at work...
