Top 3 Gaming Moments of 2008

[Falcon_BlizZACK]

I dont see what the problem is? He listed one of his top moments as selling his Wii, he didnt like it end of story. There is no need to start questioning the guys gaming prefrences just because he doesnt have the same taste in games as some of you. Why do people have to get all defensive when someone on here doesnt like the Wii? Lets be fair here aswell, the topic is in the Other Console board.

I just can't understand why Dazzy ALWAYS feels the NEED to do this... Just let it go lol.

To be honest most replies were the usually ridiculous and also fanboyish replies of "those games suck, the ones on console Y are much better, what a ridiculous list". He's the only one who can't let go :P

And thanks God we have mods that like stiring up even more trouble and the only users who are reprimanded or warned are the ones who like Wii. Funny.

 

But let's not taint this beautiful thread of love.

1. Persona 4 - Finally getting to play the sequel to the best RPG of 2007. It's fantasticly crafted, amazing characters and design with a beautiful art style. No wonder this kicks all the other RPGs in the teeth with steel toe cap boots! Oh and Teddie rocks!

 

Teddie is infuriating. Yosuke is where it's at. He is awesome. Plus the added innuendo when you are socialising with him is hilarious.

[Dyson]

You don't wow me, though. That time we played GH3 over Live; you sucked!

 

We havn't played for like, months We'll have to play again soon. I've gotten better, promise. I've 5 starred every song on expert except Raining Blood and One, which are both 4 starred! Is that not impressive? I know you've 5 starred One but I'm not THAT far behind evidently

Funny...I don't think I would have ever have seen something like this 5 years ago

[Gio001]

1. Not selling my Wii

 

2. Securing a backup 360, i just know it's going to RROD on Resi 5 release day

 

3. Not needing a PS3.

 

No seriously

 

1. Fallout 3 Awesome game, huge & to get even bigger in 09 with DLC.

 

2. Mariokart WII loved local & online multiplayer & regular competitions online.

 

3. Pro Evo Wii it's all about the controls.

 

 

2009 looks good to with Resi 5, Madworld, Fallout 3 DLC Alan Wake (hopefully), Monster Hunter 3, The conduit & Pikmin 3 just for starters.

Unlucky mate if you think that is a gaming moment of the year you have missed out on some of the best games this year that you won't be playing elsewhere anytime soon.

 

Back on topic;

 

1. Fallout 3 - specifically witnessing the greatest videogaming birth ever and then stepping out from the Vault for the first time.

 

2. MGS 4 - A beautiful game in so many ways from start to finish. A fitting end for Solid Snake.

 

3. Burnout Paradise - Criterion showing everyone else how it is done with free DLC galore and making trading in this game just not an option. First paid for DLC looks set to continue building on this fantastic game next year.

[ReZourceman]

Stop the arguing, or I de-cloth.

 

I think we're all agreed we'd rather not see that? Okay.

 

--------

 

My how the anti-Sony, Nintendo fanboy has fallen! My top three are all Sony! : peace:

 

3. Super Stardust HD - Sick fun. Crazy awesome on leaderboards, and I'm not amazing at many games, and I'm pretty good at this so yay! Its just oodles and oodles of fun.

 

2. Uncharted Drakes Fortune - Gorgeous game. Stunning environments...no no...FUCKING stunning environments. Amazing gameplay, cool combat, and the awesome acrobats and jumping around/climbing and cool puzzles...and weird twists that hit me for six! I adore this game. Its like what the Tomb Raider team were wanting to acheive, but with good gameplay.

 

1. Disgaea PSP - zaaaammmmgggggzzzz. This is just amazing. How many games are there where you can sandwich the chapters of the story between 20 hours or however much you want of FUN levelling up (do they call that grinding?) and its just amazing....you find a cool weapon...you want to level it up. Make a new character, taylor that character to your sick needs...make a gun wielding X or an Axe slamming Y. I can't say how much fun Ive had with this! And still havn't completed it! I think I might play it today actually.

What the hell did I do?

 

I believe it was me. You know, if I wasn't taking the piss.

 

Pointless argument anyway. Some people like the wii, some don't. omg or something.

Personally, I've not seen anything on the wii that interests me in the slightest but I don't give a rats if you're really in to it . What annoys me is the assumption that having a 360 or ps3 is somehow indicative of 'limited' taste. That's bollocks: I just want my games to be cutting edge, technically. There are things possible on both machines the wii can never aspire to and for me, those things are the future of gaming- not waggle controls.

Ok... lastpostevarregardingthis!

 

I think theres just a bit too much "passion". I don't like the Wii much based on whats on offer, you and many others do - thats fine. The problem lies where people don't accept ones opinion and make it seem like one (lol 'one') has "issues". The funniest thing is someone just HAS to copy and paste ANOTHER list of Wii games as if to try to 'persuade' anothers opinion lol... The LOL thing is, the list is never astounding or groundbreaking! Just a generic list of games... LMAO! ^^

 

MERRRRRRY CHRISTMAS!!1

You're not allowed to say that here!

I never said this. Show me where i said this. I listed games that someone said they had no interest in, the games were many and from a multitude of genres; I was just saying if someone wasn't interested in ANY of these games they have limited tastes. And again I will say I never once said this was a bad thing.

 

This board has a great habit of picking the bits that suit them and then ignoring the rest of your post!!

 

as if to try to 'persuade' anothers opinion lol...

 

I wasn't trying to "persuade" anyone. I was just saying "none of these games appeal to you?"!!

Hehe King V is right

 

The Wii is still the future of gaming I think in terms of how we should play - The controls are better and are only limited (for the moment) on the number of buttons.

Thing is, it really should have tried better with the graphics. Yes graphics aren't THE most important thing, they are well up there and when I owned the Wii, I was looking at the competition in agony. Nintendo could have put in a bit more effort.

 

The thing is the developers have changed tac on the Wii - some people like the change that has happened, some don't and some are indifferent.

 

I didn't like the change and I believe there aren't enough games that I like so I sold it. You cannot deny however that there are brilliant games for each console.

I'm sorry but intelligent posts are not allowed...

3: Winning my first tournament on Tiger Woods 09, it took like a month but I finally did it.

 

2: Super Smash Bros Brawl: The Subspace Emissary. Playing through this with all the cut screnes, Nintendo Fanboys dream.

 

1: Mario Kart Wii. Becoming a 3 Star 9400+ rated player 2 weeks ago.

[darksnowman]

I concur, well said, ReZ.

 

Top three moments?

 

3) Wiiware

Kinda counterbalanced by this whole cleaning the fridge malarky, but Wiiware has been a great option. Toki Tori is where its at.

 

2) Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer

I was cautious about getting this one, I read up on it and opinions on it range from being ice cold to being red hot. I took the leap of faith and found a fantastic little game.

 

1) Pro Evo 2008 on Wii

The controls make this game what it is, and what adds to the package is the online, which while laggy, it has generally been great to compete over Wifi. There are kinks that need ironing out, meaning the 2009 version will probably be even more silky smooth when they are done tweaking with it.

 

 

(An honourable mention has to go to WiiFit. Seeing friends and family mess about with it has been fun to behold in the same way it is with Wii Sports. : peace:)

Twas humour my dear but it's true, i haven't needed a ps3 yet, too many games on Wii & 360 to keep me occupied, may get one down the line when they are cheaper.

 

Anything in my post before i said '' but seriously '' was not serious. Mind you, anything i said after wasn't serious either.

[nightwolf]

There's been quite a few this year so I'll try to keep it within limits.

 

1. Console buying.

 

This year I've had the chance and managed to bag both a wii and xbox after waiting pretty much since their release dates to get them..it paid off! I love them both. I also managed to get a ds in january this year and that's been awesome too!

 

2. Zelda

 

I'd never touched zelda before 2008, bought both the wii and ds versions, although I really should buy other versions. Definately an eye opener in gaming and made me realised what the fuss was all about!

 

3. Fable 2

 

I've been wanting this to happen since I found fable..which if my memory serves right was about 2004/2005? To finally have it to myself with my own xbox...well it's every girl gamers dream ^_^ love love love.

[Falcon_BlizZACK]

1. Smash bros Brawl

All moments. Freeloader moments were probably the most nerve racking, hoping that it doesn't F-up. Flowing across the stages with Sheik was so awesome it was inspiring.

 

2. Metal gear Solid 4

Now I haven't even played this game yet, but even to this day I'm watching some of it's video scenes on Youtube. ALL Raiden moments were awesome, and once again the (cyborg) Ninja stuff inspires me.

 

3. Command & Conquer3: Tiberium Wars

Released in 2007, I still played it well into 08 till about last week when i felt I had to drag myself away from the addictiveness of this game and throw it out. Playing as NOD, sending in a barrage of Vertigo stealth bombers on a flock of Juggernauts or creating Avatars and acquiring the Flame Tank secondary weapon, while giving them stealth ability and sneaking them in a base WHILE activating the radar jam then cause havoc is nothing short pure PWNage - toooo addictive online.

The Wii is still the future of gaming I think in terms of how we should play - The controls are better and are only limited (for the moment) on the number of buttons.

 

Oddly, the controls are one of the main things I don't like about the Wii. Too many games will generally be reduced to waggling randomly, especially the ever-unresponsive nunchuck. Shooters are especially bad, as the moment you point off screen at something that is even just reflecting a reflection of sunlight, or other IR source, and you spin round in circles. The IR, even when on screen, is a little too sensitive - claims of realism fail when a slight wobble that wouldn't have an effect on something of the mass of a real weapon sends your aim roughly two clicks wide of the target. Nintendo haven't done enough in my eyes for the console.

 

Now I think about it, they've done a reversal on their performance with the 'Cube. With the previous generation, they didn't market the console well enough, or gain enough third party support, but the hardware was flawless and the first party games were exceptional, with several gems from other studios. This time around, they've created a media frenzy and got all the big players on-side. However, the console still lacks a DVD player, the online still sucks (although, in fairness, exists), the first party games are few and far between (and normally, to me, aren't as good as similar offerings on the 360) and the third party offerings, whilst many, range from flawed potential to a little bit better that rubbish.

 

It's been a bad year for Nintendo in my books, and 2009 doesn't look like it's going to help them at all.

[dwarf]

Yeah but you can't say all that here Fish so you have to make a comment like my one so that everyone stays happy and to make you seem philosophical

In all seriousness though, I agree with most of what you said - there needs to be more Wii games and I think no matter what shit was put on the Wii, the boards would still be relatively happy.

[Roostophe]

We havn't played for like, months We'll have to play again soon. I've gotten better, promise. I've 5 starred every song on expert except Raining Blood and One, which are both 4 starred! Is that not impressive? I know you've 5 starred One but I'm not THAT far behind evidently

 

It all depends on what scores you got.

[Hellfire]

3. Command & Conquer3: Tiberium Wars

Aaah crap still haven't played that or Red Alert.

[Falcon_BlizZACK]

Aaah crap still haven't played that or Red Alert.

 

Definitely get it man. Merry Christmas Homes! : peace:

[Choze]

2. Metal gear Solid 4

Dont spoil it! Makes the game all the more nicer.

Why will they change? They are making a killing.
