Clearly he pulled a Tim Hardaway.

He shouldn't have apologized. I agree with his original statement. I wouldn't go as far as calling is a piece, but I do agree with him.

What a pussy for apologizing. I mean I'm a fan of the Wii, but he shouldn't have apologized.

He's lying

Well now all the hardcore Nintendo Fanboys are going to go all "BOICOT ANYTHING RELATED 2 WILL WRIGHT!1!1!1!1!111111"

Publicity Stunt.

Destor 03-09-2007 04:04 PM

I could care less if he likes it or not tbh.

DS 03-09-2007 04:20 PM

Hardly a publicity stunt. This is pretty much what the first part of GDC is. It's a chance for developers to talk about things relating to the business. They have something turn out like this every year.

Well, I was gonna keep my Wii and be satisfied with it. Now, how can I?

Same. Because of some random twat's opinion, I will not be able to think about my wonderful gaming machine the same again.

On a side note, an art form? Give me a fucking break. Who do they think they are, Rembrandt? Make games and shut the fuck up.

DS 03-13-2007 03:02 PM

I don't see why it shouldn't be considered an art form. If movies are considered an art form, why would making them interactive take away the art?

Kane Knight 03-15-2007 11:25 AM

I can easily see the argument for art. However, most people will view video games as they do any other disposable source of entertainment, and treat it little better than pornography, daytime soaps, and so on....

Fryza 03-23-2007 04:31 PM

I liked him, until he took it back.

Pussy. :mad:

Mr Regal 03-25-2007 12:48 PM

What a moron!

Has he forgot that they are called GAMES consoles not ART consoles.

If a game is no fun what merit does it have?

I don't give a flying fuck how pretty a game looks or how pretentious it's messag if it is not fun.

I don't own a Wii but i applaud Nintento for taking gaming back to where it should be, relatively cheap fun.

Games can be intelligent and beautiful, and i appreciate them more for it, however they HAVE to be fun.

This man is a fucking idiot, not only that but he hasn't even got the stones to stand up for his moronic opinions.

OT, why is it that anytime someone mentions him, I automatically think of toothpaste?

Kane Knight 04-03-2007 01:39 PM

Because you're shallow, like the rest of us.
