Slingerland Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 I haven't owned a single console game with an online multiplayer component. The Conduit is my first and I want to play it with some of you guys. Who has got the game and wants to play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DimensionWarped Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 Not yet. It's on my to buy list, but right now I'm more interested in BlazBlue... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pheonix Gamma Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 I hear it's dreadfully generic, but I might look into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slingerland Posted July 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 I hear it's dreadfully generic, but I might look into it. I guess that you can say that it's generic if you've played Halo or any FPS on other consoles. But, I live in a cut-off world where I only own a Wii. The multiplayer feels like a throwback and the controls... goddamn, they're awesome. It makes "Red Steel" look like a complete bitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pheonix Gamma Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 Doom made Red Steel look like a bitch. Yea, I said it. Meh, I'll look into it. But only cuz I like ya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxSonic Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 Glad to see that someone else got this awesome game. I made a topic about it a while back, and everyone pretty much ignored it. I don't have Wii speak, but I'll get it if I get enough friends. Friend code: 3695-7796-3944 Doom made Red Steel look like a bitch. Yea, I said it.Meh, I'll look into it. But only cuz I like ya. Doom makes most FPS look like a bitch. That's because it was good, unlike most FPS games these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyber Rat Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 That's because it was good, unlike most FPS games these days. There are pretty decent FPS these days, probably more than 15 years ago. The problem is that everybody wanted a piece of the Halo cake, and then we started getting random generic console FPS. @Brad: I suggest you get Team Fortress 2, Left 4 Dead (2), or even something like Quake Live. They aren't that demanding as far as hardware goes, and a I know a few people from SFGHQ that play TF2 and L4D. Of course, this is just a suggestion if you really want an online FPS experience. If you want to play a console game online, then all I can say is that I would play with you if I had a Wii. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxSonic Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 Yes, I've yet to play Team Fortress 2, but I'm not talking about that one. I'm talking more about the dozen WW2 shooters that come out or all those crappy Halo knockoffs. Seriously, Doom is better than 90% of games that come out these days anyways. I'll give Red Steel credit for trying something new, although it royally skrewed it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slingerland Posted July 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 "or all those crappy Halo knockoffs." News flash: Conduit rips off Halo pretty hard, especially in the sound department. The whole "alien war"/"gov't conspiracy" storyline feels like Halo had sex with Perfect Dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flame6753 Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 Metroid Prime Hunters Dawg. it's Too Legit son. that was the only fps I seriously got into competetively. I was ranked 128 overall worldwide as my best rank on the leadersboards, but sadly the damn hackers took over and hacked the leadersboards. They also took over the game, you cannot play a match anymore without someone using action replay. oh.. and Im in the process of ...acquiring the conduit.

MaxSonic Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 What do you mean by acquiring... low sales of the good Wii games means no more good Wii games... Oh, and friend code please if you have it Sling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slingerland Posted July 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 What do you mean by acquiring... Really? OK. acquiring–verb (used with object)' date=' -quired, -quir⋅ing.1. to come into possession or ownership of; get as one's own: to acquire property. [/quote'] In short, he's going to go buy the game. I couldn't have been a bigger dick just now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naoshi Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 low sales of the good Wii games means no more good Wii games... As long as the game sells a million on the Wii (Like most FPS did on the console like Call of Duty), then that'd be great. Oh and I got this game on Saturday, yeah it's nothing special, but I still think it's a very fun game regardless. Controls are the best I've played on a console FPS, the weapons are pretty cool and the Multiplayer is the best I've seen yet on the Wii. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pheonix Gamma Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 I'm predicting this game will sell as well as Madworld, if it's lucky. Mostly because it's not getting much of a push from the gaming press (and the mixed reviews), but also because playing backups doesn't require a modchip anymore.

Didn't MadWorld sold around 200k or something? That game was very niche too (for obvious reasons). But I guess we'll see how The Conduit turns out in sales in a few weeks.

MaxSonic Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 Okay... I misunderstood. I apologize for my comments. Anyways, I'm glad that SEGA is taking a chance and putting out some great hardcore titles for the Wii now. First Madworld and HotdOK, and now Conduit. Hopefully they will publish the Grinder next year. I'm also really impressed on how this game looks. During the single player game, I stopped to look at one of the aliens, and noticed how nice the reflections and such on it's back are, and how detailed they all are. The only thing I can really ask for would be more. More levels, more story, more bosses (the game doesn't really have any) and more features in multiplayer.

That game was very niche too (for obvious reasons).But I guess we'll see how The Conduit turns out in sales in a few weeks. I'm pretty sure it had rough sales. The game has sold around 66,000 copies in its first month of release in North America, according to NPD Group.[30] These sales numbers have been used by market research firm OTX Research to justify their assertion that hype and marketing do not translate into sales figures; MadWorld, while commanding the "highest level of unique interest" based on user input at IGN, ranks 41st in OTX's sales metric for all Wii titles.[31] Despite low sales for both MadWorld and House of the Dead: Overkill, Sega will continue to explore mature games for the Wii, according to Gary Dunn, a director at Sega Europe, noting that such games have a long tail in sales as such games become more discounted.[32] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wesker Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 Argh, so many Wii games on my list to get. I might pick up HoTdOK before this though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally had a great time playing HotDOK, so I can only recommend it.

Daniel Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 or even something like Quake Live. You are my hero for suggesting that game. If it weren't for you... I wouldn't be playing Quake Live... Hell, I'm repping you up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naoshi Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 I'm pretty sure it had rough sales. I was talking about world wide sales in total. That's just America's first month sale for MadWorld. Though, I still admit that's pretty bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron C-T Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 Sucks how badly they're doing, then. I mean, crappy Sonic games sell like hot cakes rather than this type of stuff that seems like it'd of been at home on the Dreamcast. Eh. Too bad I don't have a Wii.

MaxSonic Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 So is anyone else going to post their friend code? Also, I managed to beat single player the other day, and to be honest, I was somewhat dissapointed at the end. Pretty much it's just a bunch of enemies zerg rushing you and after you kill them all, you get the credits. That's it. No epic boss fight, no real explanation. I guess they plan on making a sequel, and maybe that will explain some more. But that ending has got to be the biggest load of shit since Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver on the Dreamcast. However, the multiplayer is a nice distraction, and it makes the game worth the $50 I paid for it. I'd like a bit more to it, such as the ranking system from Mario Kart, but I guess I'll have to wait for the sequel. By the way, anyone elso been having a problem with the game taking forever to get online and start a game? I have a Wireless N router and cable internet, and it still takes a while.
