Maybe you'll have some fun if you actually play it for a while Linky. And the opinions of t hose who do like the game have also been "backed up" by opinions of many other critics, even if we exclude Nintendo-related websites as I've said before. Just saying.

MY MIIIIIIND!!!!! o_o

Also, what the hell?, while they make the regular disclaimer that they aren't, they are in fact encouraging people to sign up here and 'defend' the game. What a load of bullshit, well, if people have nothing better to do then I guess a mod will ban them unless they keep it civil.

Can you read? He clearly says defend themselves (or show their agreement with/tolerance of what they are saying), not the game. After all, most of the bullshit here are about generalising gonintendo readers, fanboys, Wii owners, etc, rather than the game, and there's an equal share of absurd haters that turn this discussion into a Wii bashfest, but it's easy to ignore bullshit when they're against who you're "fighting" and only point out bullshit thrown against you, I suppose. Of course, people prefer smack talking others oblivious to the fact it's happening, but come on...

It's bad enough as it is, there's no need to twist it further to make a non-existent point... Yeah it's unprofessional, but um, that's what the whole website is, a blog of a few people (mainly one person) who got together and report ANYTHING and EVERYTHING that is even slightly related to Nintendo, as much as I wish they did some quality control in their reports, but that's a story for another time... You care what they say about Jeff, they care about what you say about them. Duh?

Edit: Well OK Drain, then their inflamatory comments aren't aimed directly at you either, only to the haters that generalise everyone over there. If you're not a hater, then they don't mean you with their own generalisations, so you can feel free to move on as well... Somehow, I'm sure this thread will be still active, possibly revived for months to come, when their own topic about this will be long dead and buried in a day or two.

I know. Why can't they just look at other reviews for the game. IGN gave it a 8.6. Can't that score make them happy?

@Al3xand3r:

Themselves/The game, whats the difference? It's all still completely ludicrous, nothing needs 'defending' Those over ad GoNintendo who are acting in a civil manner don't even need to come over here to defend anything as they are likely intelligent enough to realise that they are not in the fanboy category people here are generalizing. Whereas those who are in that category aren't going to be here defending themselves or the game, they are just going to come on over here to bitch, whine and flame.

Edit: I am on painkillers at the moment, I could have sworn it said the game, I was wrong. My point still stands though, those who arent nintendo fanboys have nothing to 'defend' because they aren't fanboys and can probably contain themselves, if they even care what's being said over here. Whereas fanboys sent in this direction would just cause bloodshed.

What exactly is low here?

You making a thread for no other reason than to bash a whole website and defend your favourite one.

Or Gonintendo making a post about this thread.

Are you bothered someone told on you? Annoyed you can't go on bitching about others behind their backs?

I didn't make this thread. Welcome to Giantbomb also.

And everything negative I have said specifically references the insane fanboys, of which you may/may not be one, I neither know nor care. All I do know is that most of them are incredibly volatile in my experience, I was simply stating my experience with them, and that anybody hoping for a high level FPS experience on the wii is going to be dissapointed, in my opinion. If you're not a loonatic fanboy, then my comments are not directed at you. I also never said anything bad about Go Nintendo, apart from being appalled at them feeling the need to send users over to 'defend' anything. Especially given the potential for fanboy rage that might result.

Do you see Jeff asking us to flame on Gamespot?

No

You know why...
1. We don't need the incentive
2. He is a gentleman and a professional
3. He a journalist, not a reject who works on Go Nintendo
4. Is the most famous games journalist, Ever
5. Insert anything to do with fanboys being scum of the earth

We don't hate GoNintendo at all, it's just the stupid fanboy users over there. I'm also a member at GoNintendo and I don't start fanboyish threads.

Precisely, I mean we have enough fanboys here as it is, we don't need more flying over here in a barbarian rage. Noone here (Well, that would be lying, some people here are, but like I said some users are fanboys and some are immature/idiots etc, everywhere has at least some of them, here is no different) is hating directly on GoNintendo, just the fanboy users.

Nintendo fanboys are kinda the worst.

EDIT: I say Gerstmann is the most famous video games journo. There's no "mainstream" journo's in this industry, TV exposure or not. This is a specialist industry where if you take the time to know one particular journo, chances are you know quite a few of the "main" ones.

Gerstmann is pretty massive in the specialist industry. I'd argue 95% of the initial sign ups to GiantBomb.com were because of Gerstmann. There were like 20,000 people if I remember.

@The_A_Drain:

This thread annoys because of it's completely uncalled for and unnecessary provocative nature. I don't really care about the Conduit, there are plenty of other games I enjoy playing on my Wii. What does bother me is the horrifically hypocritical attitude that is being displayed in this thread. Now you actually seem to have one of the more sensible views here but you really have to step back a moment and look at thread in a summary from a Gonintendo user's point of view.

Post 1: Hahahaha everyone look at this stupid site that covers something I obviously live to hate. They are defending a game I automatically don't want to like. They also insulted my hero. Aren't they so stupid? Aren't they? Aren't they?!?!

Post 2: Yeah Nintendo Fanboys are so stupid. It is obvious that Nintendo sucks and that Sony/Microsoft are so much better. I am a Sony/Microsoft fanboy so obviously an Nintendo fanboy is an idiot.

Post 3: Yeah Gonintendo is such a stupid site. Every single person that goes there is a complete dumbass that is unable to judge anything rationally.

Post 4: This site is so much better than Gonintendo! I know this because I go on Gonintendo so much because I hate Nintendo and like to annoy people who don't! I also like going on on anime forums and telling them how much better the Simpsons is than any anime.

Post 5: OMG. Somehow I was on Gonintendo even though I think everyone there is an idiot and look! They are trying to start a war with us! How rude! Why, this thread is only a bunch of unrational fools genralizing their entire userbase just for the sake of hating something in a big stupid group. How dare they tell on us and encourage their users to go and defend themselves in a civil way.

Post 6: That is just so low. What kind of bunch of fools would intentionally attack another site just for the sake of it? They try to seem like they are just letting their users know about us secretely slagging them all of for fun and insulting the site's credibility but in reality they are just low-life provokers. Obviously

Now I'm not saying everyone in this thread is behaving like this. But the majority is. Stop acting like complete idiots please.

@theluma: You cannot generalise an entire community of over 20,000 people (I forget the current numbers) with 6 posts, just like we can't generalise a Nintendo community with a few posts.

I do see where you're coming from but I think you're exaggerating a tad in your summary.

I could totally do the same to some of the GoNintendo posts. But there's really no point at all. Some people like The Conduit, some people don't. That's it.

@theluma:

Wow, I don't know but those are some tinted goggles if that's what you read from the first page.

Let's see now, the OP stated factually and without opinion that GoNintendo posts Nintendo news and etc, then stated he agrees with Jeff about the conduit, then stated he doesn't think Wii users are craving FPS games. Fine from my point of view even though it's a block of text. He does then state that Nintendo fanboys are like little kids, and hates on them a little, but in my experience this is a logical thing to say, and again, references insane fanboys only, if you aren't one, you have nothing to worry about.

The next post simply states there are a lot of fanboys at the links location, which is true.

The next guy even stated it was an interesting read, and that some people in the thread were not being irrational volatile fanboys, and goes on to state a logical and non offensive opinion about the games online functionality.

The next guy calls out someone who said something stupid (I don't think anyone would argue against that, like the game or not The Conduit certainly isnt the best FPS ever)

The next guy stated something that could possibly be taken as offensive and generalised.

The next guy even asked why anybody cares at all, and then goes on to rib fanboys a little for their grammer (again, i'm sure you don't like the fanboys over at GoNintendo anymore than we like the ones we have here, so it's hardly all that bad)

So either you need a change of glasses, or you didn't read the first page of the thread.

Yes, some people are making stupid, offensive and generalistic comments, welcome to the internet, i'm sure you have people doing exactly the same thing at GoNintendo and i'm aure you dislike those people much the same. I don't see what hubbub is all about.

Fanboys are dicks, we can all make fun of them and have a good laugh, and the only people who need be offended are fanboys. Sounds fair to me.

Yea, just to mirror some of the above, I certainly don't dislike GoNintendo and it's readership, I have a few friends there and I use the site myself as a resource for breaking news. What I do dislike however, is a small fraction of members, these members I talk of are happy close their eyes and minds to certain undeniable truths in defence of anything Nintendo related. Such members on any forum sicken me to the fucking core.
