DAmn I was just starting to think Nintendo were getting there heads out of there ass's and then this. Will the Big N ever start talking to its customers? After such good news over the last few weeks in the UK this has total blown it all away IMO but then again I love playing online. |
Be happy. Anything less than absolute perfection and you won't be happy, and then you'll be bitching constantly. They can't give you a great online experience until next generation, so why get your hopes up?
Trust me, there are a lot of things you can add to make online gaming truly a great experience, and they can't be added until next generation. But if you take what is practical for Gamecube to offer right now, you won't like it much. A 3rd party game you may deal with, but a game like Mario Kart would only be disapointing. |
I'm happy with that. There is no need to rush, and besides, nintendo doesn't need Online to be interesting. Anyways for me.

Am I the only one for whom online console gaming holds almost absolutely zero appeal? :unsure:

Take MotoGP, game came out in June for Xbox. Came out in October for Xbox Live beta testers. Some of us (myself included), raced daily, for about 5 hours a day, almost all day on weekends, and it kept up for months, until the first glitch was discovered. Practice makes perfect, we were the top 10 players in the world. Some of them are still playing it to this day, and we're all going crazy over MotoGP 2's release. That'll keep me busy until I leave in August. Can you play a single game that much offline? Doubt it, it would get very old, very quickly. You can literally own one game, and play it for months. It's a different experience when you play against different people. Look at GoldenEye, how many people liked the multiplayer there. Now imagine being able to play full screen, against anyone, anywhere in the world. You can constantly be challenged playing against the best players in the world, something you will only do online. Everyone you play against has a different play style, and every game is different. Mario Kart Online, another example. People would race that for months and not get sick of it. The competition is something you can't get offline. MotoGP was all about getting to the top of the scoreboard. We blew away the times the developers thought were possible. If you think you are good, you'll be put in your place when you go online. It's the highly competetive enviornment that attracts a lot of people, and others like that there's always people to play against. If you get into online, you'll be hooked. |

I find that most people who seem to have little to no interest in online gaming are Nintendo fans ;)
JK (sorta), but that does suck (IMO). Sony proved that even without a built-in ethernet port, they could deliver a satisfying online experience (Amplitude rocks). Mario Kart, Golf, and Tennis would all be great online games...I would consider buying the system for those 3 games. Ah well...I still have my PS2, XBox and PC :D |
Well online has hardly ever appealed to me. Only RPGs... but those cost $$$ so... online basicly sucks.
IMO games like Gran Turismo 4 are going to suck when it comes to their online section. I mean what potential does online really hold?? I sure as hell know it won't change any of the gameplay experience. |

Well this is a bummer...I will get over it...but its still a bummer.
I guess this blows those ''World Smash'' rumors out the window. Hopefully we will see some online stuff from 3rd parties. |
