The OTT spazztastic feel was its biggest selling point, the whole thing was tounge in cheek.

I'm European and I didn't give two shits about the game either way! How do you quantify and react to that, EA Montreal?

EA saying the gamers in Europe didn't like the way the characters acted is just one broad answer that can keep every one from the dev team EA Montreal fom getting fired.

I'd buy it in a heartbeat, but my point still stands.

Anyhow, we don't fist bump, but we didn't take the whole thing that seriously, so we just went with it.

What was tasteless about that?

...maybe it was just me.

I'm actually more worried about the sequel trying to be a deeper, more serious experience ^^;

Salem was a douchebag throughout the entire game, but not so much that he was offensive. Rios was level-headed and intelligent.
I don't think the fist bumping or frat boy attitude was any worse than Gears of War or Killzone 2. In fact, there are lines in Killzone 2 that made me cringe more than anything Salem ever said in Ao2.

I was sort of guessing that you shouldn't trust people who can figure out that Halo and Modern Warfare is "narrative art", and "story-telling genius" - while declaring another shooter as "ridiculous and tasteless".
But it's all right to actually know.

If EA made well developed, compelling games I think they could sell. Capcom seems to be doing well on Wii, so it can be done.

Also now it makes sense that most ips that they said they were cancelling were just ips for the Wii. (considering they seem to have kept the project a and x or whatever they were called from pandemic).
Still how bad was that new NFS for the wii (for anyone who's played it)? I mean I would've stated how good was it but it looked pretty bad from the videos that I saw.

Majority of Wii owners, people who bought a Wii as their first console since birth cuz it's the hip thing to own and dare call themselves "gamers"? They don't play Mario Galaxy, they don't own games other Wii Sports and Raving Rabbids, they play them for half an hour on parties.

The SD console is not suitable in this generation. It works great with casuals but not with hardcore gamers.
Wii is a gimmick and casuals love gimmicks. At least nintendo has found a way to sell hardware but not software.

And any development house making less games for less platforms is NEVER good. How soon til all of those developers are out on their ass? Disturbance in the workforce anyone?
I'm not a big fan of the handheld platforms, but I would never say that just because I don't like them or play them that they have any less validity in the games marketplace.
@Gnarkiller: The few people you know who owns Wiis that sit in the corner and collect dust are not the Wii owners you will meet here. They are a small minority of the people I know, but then I tend to hang out with gamers. Trendy, latest-thing people are rarely serious gamers, and as such, shouldn't really be representative of what the average Wii user is like.

I personally own one due to it being in my price range at launch and the games being a shade cheaper. But to be honest I have tried really hard to like it but it's hard when my two favourite games for the thing are old ports i.e. Resident evil 4 and archives. As fun as house of dead and umbrella chronicles are they are not classics. Then after that you're talking a couple of Nintendo games (which is irrelevant to 3rd party devs) and old games on the VC which are a blast but hardly the basis for a current console.
and to prove I am not some Nintendo hater I love the DS and loved the NES and SNES.

It's when someone takes the attitude that since they don't like it, then the platform should just go away and die, or people shouldn't develop for it anymore that is retarded.

Developers that are with the Wii since the beginning are better prepared to deal with Natal and the PS3 wand.
