Better controls!!!? WTF !? YOu gotta be kidding me, FPS controls for the Wii are a train wreck, you can't possibly think that they feel better than a controller. Hell I even prefer mouse and keyboard to the Wii mote, and I HATE PC controls.
Actually, the Wii Remote works quite well in Conduit. I actually prefer the Wii Remote to Dual-Analog now.
Well I guess that is good for you, but I mean I can't possibly stand aiming the whole time with my wrist lifted, it wold hurt after a while, I can't aim precisely. And I don't think it's just because I wasn't good I mean how could you ever steady your aim when aiming with a Wii remote?

Basically I'll prefer analog/mouse aiming over Wiimote aiming anyday because at least your aim is stable on the former 2.

You don't need to have your wrist lifted: just point the remote at the screen. It isn't that hard. Plus, there's a lock-on. Admitedly, this just locks the screen to face an enemy, but it helps immensely.

It may be more stable on DA and M&K, but for some reason I find the Wii Remote more satisfying.

No versus threads.

A cult classic is a piece of entertainment that is largely ignored by the mainstream of a particular medium's fanbase, but has merit and through that has garnered a mid-sized, semi-fanatical fanbase.

Jade Empire would be a cult classic. Well reviewed and rated, with many fans in and out of Bioware, a phenomenal game, but overlooked because it wasn't KoTOR 2 or a new Baldur's Gate.

The Conduit would be an example of a third party ripoff. These occur when certain genres, in this case FPS, become wildly popular and every company decides to cash in by making a game that is only superficially different from the original game, in this case Halo.

When did the Conduit become a cult classic? Last I checked, most found it mediocre at best and it didn't sell well.
A cult classic is anything in the entertainment medium that a small community of people adore and everyone else thinks is mediocre or bad. I could see it being that (just TC not CoD4) though I don't know if it has a dedicated enough fanbase yet). I don't know how he can think the wii remote is a better control input than a mouse, though. I think he just can't afford a good computer, so he's hoping that if he denies it's superiority hard enough, reality will warp to make it true. As Yahtzee said, That's much more likely than someone addmitting they're wrong. I can't decide though as I have never played The Conduit. I'm betting CoD4 is better though, even if I hate snipers since they kill you in one shot no matter where they hit you and regardless of perks.

I wouldn't call it that. It's moving a genre that's under-utilized on the Wii to the console. Plus, it has more similarities to Perfect Dark than Halo.

You're new, so you should really read the rules. This one's free though.

You should probably wait until you've gained more experince on the forms before you try to make threads.
Verus threads aren't like. Halo threads are even worse.


Welcome to the Escapist. Enjoy your stay.

In what twisted universe could The Conduit POSSIBLY EVER be better than Call of Duty 4???
It could be in opposite world!

Seriously though, everyone I have talked to has said The Conduit was a 5 out of 10 at best. Just because a game is good on the Wii does not make it good in general. Also, lol @ way better controls because it's on the Wii. I seriously laughed out loud at that.
