I agree, although some of the games you listed might be a little sub-par, but I agree with your point. And SMG2 is going to rock!Smash Genesis said:
Another Wii-hate defense thread still filled with trolls?
...No system is perfect. All have flaws.
360 is only for teenagers/young adults where they enjoy busting guts and blowing people's heads off.
PS3 is similar, but has a mix of other games and has variety (somewhat).
Wii is opposite of 360.
And... the term Hardcore gamer is overused. It's a misconception these days. Hardcore games aren't ones of a particular genre. They usually are directed for the 12-28 age group... but seriously, stop using this term. If you say you are a hardcore gamer, you aren't. 75% of the posters in this thread are just "gamers".
Now quit the bashing.

PS3 is the common ground. It has your action packed shooters such as CoD and MAG, and it has your awesome games that aren't shooters like LBP.PieDisliker said:

@Pear: You make mostly good points, however: Because a game is aimed at children does not make it inherently awful, or unappealing to adults. (The entire Mario series is proof of this.) Secondly, I did not say that online gaming was inherently bad. I'm just saying that Nintendo is trying to prevent incidents like child rape. And yes, parents should monitor what their kids play beyond the ESRB rating, but many don't, and when something like that happens, the default reaction for many is to blame the company instead of taking responsibility. Nintendo is merely trying to eliminate liability. Also, I apologize for my ignorance regarding Other M. I was not interested in Metroid before this title, and thus had no way of knowing it was a remake. (By the way, how could you have played the opening galaxy in SMG2 if it isn't out yet?) Lastly, I LOVE your avatar and title. That is one of my favorite Spongebob episodes.
True, a game isn't necessarily bad because it's aimed at kids. I liked Animal Crossing, Viva Pinata, Pokemon, and Harvest Moon. I'm just saying that it gets kind of annoying in an overdose.Smash Genesis said:
I know what you mean about online, and I do agree that they need to try to prevent child abuse. However, I think there are better ways to do it. To make an Xbox Live account, you need to give your birthday. If you're under 16, you need to have your parents give their credit card info to prove that they approve of the account. If you're over 16, you need to give credit card info to prove that that's your age. If a child account is made, the parent sets a password. They can then enter their password to change parental settings. For instance, my little brother can't use a mic, message players that aren't friends, accept friend requests without parental consent, and download/play games/movies rated above T or PG-13. Where as I can do all that, being older. That's how parental controls should work ideally, imo.
And I was talking about SMG, the original game, not the first chapter in the second one.
Sorry for coming across as a rooster in my first post. I was in a bad mood in real life, and it all slipped out.
Oh my god, first wall of text post!

The original Super Mario Galaxy was the best game ever made! I can only hope that Galaxy 2 can top such sheer awesomeness.

Let's look at gaming standards with a proper understanding, hmm?
Wii's mostly casual, but has some really hard core games (I won't list them, but those who play them, know this anyhow). In terms of an age group, they're like kids: Most of them aren't all that developed in certain aspects, but a few have a maturity level beyond the norm for them.
Now, I don't play Sony or Microsoft platforms, but I've heard a bit that helps the next description.
Playstations come in so many different varieties, it's almost difficult to keep up with their trends. Some of the most hardcore games on that level were once owned by another company; but after they parted way, most that might have stayed with one company if this didn't happen, moved with Sony. This is much like teenagers to young adults if you look at it.
X-BOX has me thinking: Hardcore or Extreme? The few games that are too low-standard to some are dwarfed even further by the most insane games that makes me wish I had the means to switch sides (I like Nintendo, so that may not happen). They attract so many demographics, they can get some gamers started from the simple stuff to the complex. These are like Adults and up.
This may not be 100% accurate, but try looking into the way game platforms are perceived with this view and you might notice a few things I didn't.
